W|NDEMUTR MEAT MARKET
is SOLD TO RAY D. KELLY

With the close of dast week Henry
w Windemuth retired from the proprie-
torship of the Langdon sanitary meat
market, which he had conducted since
coming to Langdon some ten years
ago. The business with the first of
this week was turned over to Ray D.
Kelly, who for nearly two years has
been conducting the City Meat Mar
ket. The transfer is one which con-
solidates the business of the two
markets under the ownership of Mr..
Kelly, who has transferred his busi-
ness to the location on the other side
of the street which he purchases Of
Mr.. Windemuth. The deal is one in
which it is anticipated that greater
service may be given the trade by
conservation of the expense in run-
ming two markets. The Windemuth
market, which changes hands, is one
of the best and most modern quipped
to be found anywhere in the state,
while the trade that its late proprie-
tor has built up in taking care of the
wants of the trade is quite an item
in making the transfer consideration
that amounts to five figures. Mr..
Windemuth will spend at least year
here in Langdon, where he has farm
ing and other interests and may
evote some of his time to the buying
and selling of live stock.

LANGDON'S HARD COAL
FAMINE GETS RELIEF

The hard coal scarcity, which has
been experience in Langdon and vici-
nifty since the setting in of winter
h as been given partial relief during
tae week by shipments received by
both the Cavalier County Lumber Co.
and the National Elevator Co. The
town is still more than fifty per cent
short of what will be needed of this
kind of fuel to get through the win.
ter, but the outlook now is that North
Dakota is now likely to be given a
little more of square deal with the
other states of the northwest, than it
has to date since the opening of the
season. No doubt the lossening up
of the coal situation is in quite a
measure due to the federal fuel az. .
ministration ordering the dock com.
panies at the head OF the lakes to
speed up shipments Of coal into North
Dakota, as a result of a showing
made that this state has received a
smaller proportion of coal than has
been consigned to any of the group of
northwestern states. 1t is shown
from the record of the state fuel ad-
ministrator that up to October 18th,
North Dakota had received but 90. :,
3l4 tons of anthracite, or only Al. 65
per cent of it's needed winters supply
of 224, 600 tons. At that time South
Dakota had received 43. 80 per cent,
Wisconsin, $500 per cent and Min
nesota 50. 40 per cent.

Will Borgan is Reported
Missing in Action

Joseph Nowatzski on Saturday re

of the death in base hos pital in

Private Joseph A. Nowatzki, the
message stating that he had died fol.
lowing an illnesss of influenza .pneu-

MIR. Nowatzki had two son over there
with the American Evolutionary
Forces on the western front and it is
only recently that he received word
that the other boy, Fred had received
q bad wound, which might result in
the amputation of hand. The off,

particulars of this sad vent would
follow by mail through the channels

Ole j.. Borgan was Langdon visi-
tor from his ayaon township farm
near Hannah and told the Democrat
that he had during the week received
word that his son, Private William
Borgan, who is in France. had been
reported missing since November 9th.
His son was one of the first drafted
men to leave Cavalier county year
ago last fall for Camp Dodge and
had been in action on the French
front, ever since the American For
ces. Joined with the allies in the war.
He has received letters from the boy
dated in October, stating that al
though he had been in some pretty
stiff actions, he had so far come
through without q scratch. 1t is the
hope of Mr.. Borstad and his friends
and neighbors that later report
may clear up the uncertainty that
shrouds the word "missing. Another
week and young Borstad would have
seen the closing chapter in the great
worlds war. and perhaps it will yet
turn out that he has.
