ANOTHER WAR HERO HOME

First Private Charles Rubel, who
went to Richmond, Indiana, to see
his special friend. after receiving his
honorable discharge at Camp Mills,
May 21st, arrived home in Audubon
Monday morning to enjoy few days
visit with his parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Peter Rubel and his numerous other
relatives and friends.
Charles Joined the colors In May,
1918 at his home in Yuma, Colo,
and went to Camp Cody, N. M,
where he was in training for time
and was then transferred to Camp
Dix, N. j. He sailed for overseas
duty on October /, 1918 and arriv-
ed in Liverpool, England, then was
sent to South Hampton, England. He
arrived at Scherberg, France, Octo-
Der 18th and took part in the last
battle fought in the Argonne Woods
just previous to the signing of the
armistice. Young Rubel was in
Company B of the 16Sth regiment
of the Rainbow Division. He was
in the army of occupation and kept
Watch on the Rhine with Colonel
Matt FINLEY for some time, after
which he was sent to Paris, France,
where he remained for five weeks.
Young Rubel had quite reputa-
ton as a wrestler before leaving Au-
dubon and proved himself wonder
at the game while overseas. While
in Paris he took part in the A. E. F.
wrestling tournament and beat all
corners, winning the heavyweight
cham pioiship for his company over
the large number of companies en-
tered. Charles contested in numer-
Gus matches In France and Germany
and won every contest. He has a
gold medal valued at 500 and a
badge of honor coming to him for his
wonderful feats accomplished in the
wrestling game. Mr.. Rubel had
with him a number of nice souvenirs
and the newspaper clippings be
brought back with him, were we to
publish even one-half, would take
half the space in the Republican. We
had the pleasure of reading them
and they were very interesting
showing that he had some hard
fought matches but proved the bet
ter man in each contest. Space
does not permit US publishing them.
Mr.. Rubel set sail from Brest,
France for America on the German
ship Mt. Vernon and arrived at Ho-
boken. N. j., May 18th. He was
not injured or gassed while away
and always kept in the best of health.
He had very pleasant visit here
during his short stay, but was in a
hurry to get back to his work In
Yuma, Colo, so departed for there
on yesterdays early morning train.
OF four Rubel brothers in the service
all have been mustered out and are
now enjoying civilian life.

BOYS WIN ON
HOME DIAMOND
HEAD WORK AND CLEVER PLAY
ING ADDS ANOTHER VIC
TORY FOR OUR TEAM

The Audubon baseball team won
from Elk Horn 5 to 2 last Sunday af-
ternoon in a game featured with
heavy batting and a few misplays.
Both teams were in fine fettle for
good playing and with the exception
of the first inning on Elk Horns
part the game was of regular league
playing order. Audubon's runs all
came in the first inning and Elk
Horn purloined their two runs in the
eighth. Elk Horn at one time in
the game threatened a batting rally,
but Shupe with his good pitching,
and ably assisted by his teammates,
especially Kelly, Niklason and Gron-
ert. broke up the batting rally and
cinched the game for Audubon.
Kelly made long run, pulling from
the air a high fly that seemed al
most an impossibility, thus saving
three men on the bases for Elk
Horn at the time and his catch
made the third out. Niklason also
made wonderful catch as did Gron-
ert of high foul fly. He fell
while running for the pill. but kept
the ball, avoiding a possible run or
two later on. All the boys on both
teams played exceptionally good ball
to the satisfaction of the large
crowd of spectators. people of all vo-
cations in life being out for Sun
days game. Such games as were
played the last two Sundays and the
good order maintained by the man
agement has made the national pas
time more popular than ever. The
game was cleanly contested and most
exciting at times, giving the fans a
run for their money. No vulgarity
was heard at any time during the
game.
Dedham Is scheduled for game
with Audubon next Sunday on the To-
cal diamond. Come out and see the
Audubon team in their new uni
forms.

LARGE GATHERING
AT PUBLIC FUNERAL
HUNDREDS OF NEIGHBORS AND
FRIENDS GATHER TO PAY
TRIBUTE OF RESPECT

Hundreds of people from all parts
of the county attended the funeral
of Lawrence Larsen which was held
at the Danish Lutheran church last
Monday Afternoon. AS was first an
nounced in last weeks Republican
concerning the young mans death.
his remains reached Audubon from
Newport News. Va, in Saturday.
Only meager reports concerning
his death was learned last week, but
our report that he died from blood
poisoning as the result of boil, was
correct When he left France he
had boil that was giving him con-
siderable trouble, but it was not
thought to be of serious nature.
however, blood poisoning developed
and this was the ultimate cause OF
his death.
The death of this splendid young
man has brought sorrow into the
community. He was splendid young
man who was liked by everyone.
When the call came to defend Old
Glory, he left willingly, and with
thousands of other noble men went
into the trenches and fought for lib
erty and justice. He paid the SUI
preme sacrifice. He went through
many of the engagements without q
scratch and it seems doubly sad that
he should have persisted when so
near home.
Lawrence Jensen Larsen, son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Kristen Larsen was
born in Oakfield township, December
IA, 1891. A year or so later he
with his, parents, moved To Douglas
township where he has I,ade bis
home ever since. The past three
years re and his brother Lewis had
been farming in partnership.
Lawrence was drafted into the ar
my June 81, 1918, going to Camp
Dodge. He landed in France during
the month of August and was mem
Der of Co. L, 351st Infantry, SSth
Division. Lawrence died on board
the U. S. S. Mercury May 20, 1919,
while returning from France, aged 81
years, 5 months and IL days. He
was the eldest of a family of eight
children and leaves to mourn his
death, his parents, three brothers and
four sisters, Lewis, Arthur, Otto, Ma
rie, Lillian, Mrs. Martin Larsen. Of
Extra and Mrs. Walter Andersen
near Manning.
Funeral services were held at the
Danish Lutheran church Monday at
ternoon at $3.50, conducted by the
pastor, Rev. Hansen. About fifty
returned soldiers attended the fun
eral in body and Joined the long
procession to Arlington Heights
cemetery where interment was made.

progressive farmers of this county
and widely known as an auctioneer,
was in the city Friday enroute to
Wayne, Alberta, Canada He was
accompanied by his wife and family
and they will remain in Canada with
their son Carl, until fall. Mr.. Nell
son had REQ truck especially equip
ped for the trip and it was conven-
inetly arranged for their comfort on
this long journey.
Mr.. Nelson is one of the interest
ing men of Audubon county. He
came here at an early date and by
hard work and judicious manage
ment has accumulated considerable
wealth. He has extensive land
holdings here and now owns a sec
tion and half in Canada. He saw
Audubon county land advance from
SIS an acre to its present value. Now
he has decided to do some pioneering
in Canada The land there is in
creasing in value each year and he is
confident that with proper care and
cultivation 1t will continue to in
crease. Most OF his land is broke
up and put to wheat. While he is
there he will assist his son build a
house, a large barn and other out
buildings to take care of the immense
wheat crop that is so promising just
at this time.
Mr.. Nelson is a whole-souled, good
natured sort of a fellow. He has
been leader in his community in all
things that was for the betterment of
all. He has been liberal to a fault.
He has given freely of his money to
help build up his home community
and we know him we'll enough that
he will do the same thing in Canada.
Chris Nelson has been a big man in
Audubon county and he is going to
be just as big in Canada. He has a
host of friends who will watch his
career with considerable interest.
When they left Audubon the fam
lily was contented and happy and
their many friends hope they will ar
rive at their destination in the best
of health and with as little car trou-
BILE as possible.
Chris gave us an invitation to visit
him in Canada during the summer
and we promised him we would at
some time when a number OF other
Audubonites were going out. A
large number of trainers from Kim
ballton and Elk Horn have located
near Wayne and they say it is one of
the most progressive communities of
Canada.

cluded a number of Audubon county
boys, among them being Frank Bag
! ley, Clark Arnold, Lee Hunt, Law

mold. He left the same evening for
Chicago where he will Join his wife

sence, and who have made their
home in Chicago practically all of the
time Mr.. Arnold was in the army.
Clark is the very picture of health.
He was glad to get military training
but believes that he will be better
satisfied now that he has returned to
civilian life
Lee Hunt received his discharge
from service at Camp Dodge on Sat-
urday. He was also with the SSth
but was discharged day later. How
ever, he got back as far as Atlantic

T.. 351st Infantry, and had been in
France since last August. The day
of the signing Of the armistice his
company was ready to go into the
trenches. Fortunately or unfor-
tunately. he did not get into the big
drives. He was taken sick with the
flu which later developed into pneu-
monia and was in the hospital about
he to
but says he is not feeling as well as
he might. He is glad to get home
and anxious to get back to farming.
