Brooded Over'' :

kF'oundDead
Wilton Farmer Discovered Hang.
ing From Rafter in Barn
by Neighbors Yesterday
EXPRESSED RELUCTANCE TO
SERVE ON FOREIGN SOIL

Albert Maruske, Wilton, did not re-
gister yesterday
He brooded over the necessity to
his neighbors Sunday. When some
of the boys were passing the farm
early yesterday morning they went to
his barn and found his body hanging
from the rafters.,
No one knows what led the young
farmer to commit suicide, but it is
recalled that registration weighed on
his mind He was a bachelor and
farmed as tenant the Ozman place
fifteen miles northeast of Wilton.
Maruske, of Polish birth knew Eur
ope and conditions and expressed q
reluctance to service in foreign lands.
No one thought much Of it at the time,
but all that he had said took on a
special significance when his neigh
bors saw his lifeless body swinging
from one Of the rafters on registration
day. ..s.
The deed evidently was committed
Monday evening or early Tuesday
morning of the day set for registra-
ton.
A. r. Shipp, coroner, andI Sheriff
French were called to Wilton yester-
day and after viewing the remains the
coroner ordered them taken to Wilton.
Maruske has an uncle and cousin re-
siding at Scotland, S. D. They have
been notified and the body awaits ac-
! tion by them. Should they not claim
the remains, Maruske will be buried
by the county.
Maruske was "a. years of age, un-
| married and left behind nothing that
would shed any light upon the motives
behind the suicide except his we'll
known opposition to registering. Be-
cause he was engaged in active farm
| ing, Maruske probably would have
been exempt anyway, but neighbors
relate that he was not thoroughly
posted on the features of the selectiva
draft act, confusing it with the more
severe and mandatory military laws
of other lands.

LUTHERAN FAITH
PROPOSE UNION

St. Paul, MINI, June 6.-Three
thousand delegates from all parts OF
the United States and Canada are
here to attend joint meeting OF the
three branches of the Norwegian Lu-
theran church, called for the purpose
of effecting a union and the forma-
ton of single church.
The meetings began today and will
continue until June IS, when final
plans for the reorganization of the
church are expected to be completed
The consolidation of the three will
affect $500 congregations. The three
branches now are divided merely on
doctrinal differences involving prin.
cipally the distinction between the
"high" and the Glow" church. The
plan to unite has been decided on
after many conferences during the
last decade in the organization and
the new church will be purely for.

After spending a night in Jail
Mr.. Johnson advised the magis-

been hopping about so much that
news of the registration hadn't
caught up with him, and, as he
cannot read English and talks it
but poorly, the officers decided
there was some excuse for him,
and after signing him up and
sticking little pale blue card in
his pocket, they turned him loose.

which warrants the adjutant generals
prediction.

morning that inasmuch as all regis

reports, no returns from the registra-
tion yesterday are expected until late

He also notified all governors, that
he had interpreted the law 10 permit
anyone, who in good faith failed to
register yesterday, to do so today

would be pursued to make the regis

Early incomplete returns indicate

Select Those for Draft.
The next step in the government
plan will be the selection of those
who actually are to bear arms from
those who remain at home because
of dependents, or to do the work on
the farm or the factory. This task
will be undertaken as soon as COM
plete returns have been tabulated and
surveyed.
The men selected will be put in
training early in the fall. Originally
it was intended to call 100000 men
for the first draft army to support the
national guard, but a few days ago
it was announced nearly a million
men would be needed on the first
selection.
