kahoka Army Officer Well Known in
keokuk, Receives Distinguished
Service Cross from Gen.
erai Pershing.
FOR REMARKABLE VALOR
Single Handed, the Lieutenant Held
Horde of Huns Until His Men
Gained American Lines
Across River.

A distinguished service cross, with
citation from General Pershing was
received by Lieutenant Ben e. Turner,
Of Kahoka, the other day. This is the
second highest honor awarded Ameri-
can soluiers, ranking just below the
congressional medal.
Among other things that attracted
the attention of his supertors. Turner,
commanding a company of Pennsyl-
yania national guard troops, crossed
river and took town away from
the Germans that three divisions had
tried to take unnecessarily for sew
eral weeks. His greatest feat was
cabled home at once and published IN
many newspapers and at least one
magazine. Later his 140 men were
attacked in the town by several thou
sand Huns. Artillery support failed 10
come in response to Turner's signals,
and he was left alone with his com
pany in few houses. Turner selected
seven men who with him fired rapid
" from the windows until the rest OF
the company retreated across the
river by swimming, crossing also two
wide exposed places, without cas-
ualty. Then Turner ordered back
the seven men with him and he alone
held up the large German force by
rapid fire out Of windows. until his
squad had regained the American
trenches across the river. Finally
Turner made the rush across the
river himself.
He was shot at another time while
operating in no mans land, when the
Hun machine gunners discovered
him, several pieces of shrapnel enter
ing his body. :,
After the defense of the town, and
the taking of it, Turner's regimentai
and brigade commander were cited
and promoted. but no decoration
came to Lieutenant Turner. Finally,
it seems, general headquarters
checked up on deeds Of special valor
and found Turner unrecognized. The
u. S. C. and citation from Pershing
then came, months after Lieutenant
Turner was discharged from the
army.
He is now state bank examiner fof
Missouri, and is well known to many
Keokuk people, as we'll as all over
Clark county. where he was born and
lived all his life.

k.okuk Has an Industry Employing
Many Men and Lots Of People

- il Beino Continued on Large Scale
Now and More Men Gould be
Used it They Would

Keokuk has an industry that few
people seem to know about.
Forty car carpenters are at work
repairing cars on the old rip" track
near the old Burlington shops. These
car carpenters are working in three
shifts, it was learned today, and more
Of them can be accommodated with
work any time that the men can be
secured.
Instead of sending the bad order
cars to Hannibal or West Burlington
for fixing, they are sent in here to
Keokuk. and are put on the tracks
near the old shops. Here the car
nenters give them first aid and make
them as good as new for few more
years.
A large number of carpenters were
employed in this work during the
var. Lately another large shift has
been added to the bunch already here,
SO that Keokuk has quite an industry
down in the railroad yards. 1t was
stated this morning that more men
could be used, If they would apply.
The Industrial association and local
labor leaders wrote letters and helped
the secure tHe WOih Luz Lie uleH mere,
and to continue tn ework which was
started during the war on a larger
scale.
The cars are put on the tracks
which were used years ago for loading
rip.rap and which still carry the name
rip-lrack in the minds of the railroad
men.
If you hear strange whistle blow.
Ing about quitting time these days,
you may be sure it's the one that's
keeping time for the car carpenters.
