colored men who are being sought in
connection with the shooting Of Josn

was shot Monday evening while on
MS fathers farm near Berwyn, Nd.
In spite of the fact that one of the
trio of colored men who were arrested
soon after the shooting had in hi.
possession handful of cartridges,
their story that they know nothing Of
the affair has gained credence. George
Cox, one of the arrested men, gave
the police the names of Thomas Stone
and Garfield Preuleau. both of whom
live In Washington. and who arc said
to have been driving a green auto
mobile such as that described by
young Metzerott The Lad was unable
to identify the negroes under arrest
as the ones who shot him.
A watch was maintained last
night over the homes of the two
negroes now being sought. but they
failed TO put in an appearance.
Police officials say that the two
men were not being sought as the
perpetrators of the crime, but
merely that they might be ques-
toned as to the identity of the
negro who did the shooting.
Young Metzcrott's condition was
said by doctors to be improving.
An X-ray photograph of the wound
was taken and will be used today
to locate the bullet. Unless infec-
tion sets in the wound is not ex-
pccted to prove fatal.

RUSSELL MAKES HIS
FIRST AIR FLIGHT,
"GREAT' SAYS HE
Flew With Lieut.. Cameron From
Minneapolis to Bismarck
on Maiden Trip

E. r.. Russell of this city made his
first flight in all airplane Tuesday
and Wednesday when he accompanied
Lieut.. J. G.. Cameron, Bismarck's own
aviator, from Minneapolis to this city.
"He stood the trip like a veteran" "
said Lieut.. Cameron last night in
speaking of their trip from the Twin
Cities: "In spite of the spill, the
rain, the bumpy atmosphere, Russell
never finched." E.
Russell was we'll tired out when
he finally arrived in the city last
night after going thru various stunts
with Lieut.. Cameron over the CAPT
tol grounds in the afternoon. 1T was
wonderful experience and I would
not have missed it for anything"
"And let me tell you one thing"
he continued just as he was ready to
close his eyes for a long sleep, Cam
eron is a wonder. When we had that
spill near Minneapolis, he was just
as cheerful and unconcerned about it
as if it were the bite of mosquito.
And the ease with which he controlled
his airplane when he was doing those
stunts over the capitol were marvel
ous."
Russell does not intend to follow
the flying game as profession. "Sell-
ing insurance for the Central Life
Of Des Moines is good enough for
me-" were his final words on the sub
ject

he and his scrappy brother have won

smokes, chocolate and gum for every
man in uniform just as the Knights

overseas, and no Yank's money will
be worth a cent at the "Casey' re-
freshment stands. The big boxing bout
will be pulled off in front of the grand
stand beginning at 7:30 in the even
ing, and the program will include COM
munity singing and other camp stunts
which helped relieve the tedium "over

Mike and Tom Gibbons recently
pulled down $4,000 for a four-round
exhibition at San. Francisco. The
knights of Columbus are managing
their first appearance in North Dakota
and are to turn over all the proceeds
to the American Legion fund to assist
the service mems association in build
ing up it's organization in North Da'
kota or any other part of the north
west outside of the Twin Cities.
The main event will be preceded
by some fast preliminary bouts in
