of Joe Staska, arrived from Mime
apolis last week and will remain at the
John Staska home for some time. Mr..
and Mrs Joe Staska are expected to ar

Angus was well represented at War
rem for the Fourth Of July celebration.
The rain Saturday and Sunday with
cool weather following will do much to-
wards reviving the crops in this lOcali-
ty. Some damage is no doubt done by
the continued extreme heat.
The following young folks were prize
winners at the Fourth Of July celebra-
ton at Warren: Royal Campion first
prize on pigeons, Ruth Vavrina and
Rosalind Petersen first prize in the
girls flag race, Clarence SewiH second
prize in the three legged race.
The annual meeting of the stockhOld-
erss Of the Angus Farmers Elevator Co.
will be held at the M. w. a. Hall July
18th. Each stookhold er will receive a
card announcing same.

Very few from this section of the
country celebrated on the 9Th and 9th
due to the rain and mud. Many had
planned to attend the auto races at
Warren.

designs and weaving showed what the
hitler ones have been busy at during
certain of their school hours Included
in the Child Welfare display was some
work Of interest by the Junior Red
Cross workers.
Rest Room Popular
Probably one of the most appreciated
and useful buildings on the fair grounds
was the recently erected rest room, put
up through the efforts of the &C. Z. U.
Many years Of work and endeavor to-
ward the erection of such a building
has finally eliminated in placing on
the grounds a building that is worth
more, perhaps, to the mothers with
the grounds. Ladies Of the w. G. z. III.
were in attendance at the building
throughout the three fair days and did
many things to comfort the mothers
and children. Ice water was always
on hand and freely given the thirsty.
On Monday 1,45O sanitary cups were
used, which indicates to what extent
the building was used. A wash stand
was provided as were chairs and cots
inside of the building. The crowds
that filed it throughout Monday I'M
dicated that the coming year will ne
cessitate more touches and chairs for
the building and it is the plan Of the
ladies to have these necessary pieces
Of furniture there for the opening day
of the fair next year. At one side Of
this room was the display of the cOun-
ty nurse showing in "a graphic way the
work that has been accomplished
throughout the county for the better
ment of health since this work has
come under one systematic Organiza-
ton and head.
Canning demonstrations and bar
berry demonstrations were put on con-
tinuOusly throughout the three days at
the Farm Bureau booth beneath the
bleachers. Also in the booth could be
found the record of the achievements
of the various townships in the county
with their various projects fostered by
the Marshall County Farm Bureau
fedora ton. A map showed plainly the
project of each township or. Farm Blu
reau unit. The work of the boys and
girls Of the county in their Boys and
Girls club work was also clearly de-
monstrated by maps and charts While
still in it's infancy in this county the
work shows great progress.
Southeast of the main buildings the
three farm machinery concerns of War
rem occupied their usual space for the
exhibiting of farm machinery. The
Warren Machine and Iron Works COM
pany's display contained a full line of
farm machinery, tractors, featuring the
Hart-Parr tractor and Advance Rumely
separator. Across the road from this
display was that of w. f. Powell and
Co., featuring John Deere products.

the authorities. He has admitted that
he opened the door to Marie Wick's
room on June Z before he attempted
to reach the police, before he talked
with any of the officers, and before he
called Fred Lawrence to tell him that
the occupant of room 80 could not be
awakened The night clerk also has
admitted that he attempted to kid
the occupant of room 80 when he
showed her to her room after she had
registered, and that he called Miss
Wick up on her telephone for the, pur-
pose Of "joshing" her. He did not go
to meet the - o'clock train and he has
told different stories about his conduct
on the night of the tragedy. Testi-
mony was also introduced to the effect
that he had made improper advances
to other girls who had stopped at the
hotel and by his own admissions OF
dealings with women he proved him
self most depraved and unprincipled
young man, and one that would be
very likely to commit such terrible
crime. .
States Attorney VIM. G. Green made
mastery argument in the case against
Drummer, his closing words being as
follows:
"He was the one man who had the
oppOrtunity to do that and he was
the one man who knew that he could
do it without danger of being dis
covered.
"He was the only man in the Pres
colt hotel on that night that Marie
Wick knew, he was the only man who
had anything to do with this pure
country girl that night. z-..s...5
HE was the only man that she
knew in the Prescott hotel and he was
the only man that need fear identifi-
cation by her. "+s.s
HE was the only one who needed to
kill the girl to keep her from testify
ing against him because he had COM
mitted the crime Of rape against her.
"Is there anybody else that knew
Marie Wick was in room 80 there who
need fear Identification at all? When
you have murder like this you have
got to have a motive. The, motive in
the first place was rape, and the mo-
tive for the second crime was conceal
ment. He knew if he left her uncon-
scious that she would soon regain con-
seriousness and he would be the first
one suspected, as he had made advances
to her He knew he could not run
away, as by doing that he would con-
TESS his guilt. ..-.
'There was no way to avoid 1t ex-
cept to kill her. He was cold bloOded
enough to kill her because he was
cold blooded enough to choke her and
to stuff this pillow slip down her
throat, so he didn't have to go very
much further to get this fire nozzle
and beat her over the head"

the entertainers got to him for some
consis slant hitting and he was relieved
by Shoop, whose offerings seemed
about as sweet to the Thief River

was that Childs finished the game and

all his preparations for it, even to

dug, cemented up with solid concrete

Whitney, for many years close

Mark Twain, says he is an unbe-

No minister will offciate when
Whitney is buried. The funeral
document that he himself has writ

friend.
