S Austin. for four years connected
with newspapers in this city, has Sc
vered his relations with the Devils
Lake World, the paper being turned
over to Carl Nelson. for several years
owner and publisher of the Cando
Record.
Mr.. Austin has not announced his
future plans but nay go back to his
earlier occupation. that of ranching in
Montana.
Mr.. Nelson is we'll known in North
Dakota. He edited the Cando Rec
ord for several years. In addition to
this work he was employed for o u
years as a federal income las inspec-
tor, but in 1917 sold his paper to the
farmers of Towner county and resign
ed his fcSral job to devote all of his
time, to editing the paper for the
farmers. In 1920 he retired from the
newspaper game to build up his farm
which is said to have become rur
down in the hands of renters.
The World will open to him a larger
editorial field than his former con
nections, it is thought.

entity all doubt as to ~thesidentity Of
the body of the man found murdered
in a school house at Dayton, Mimi, is
removed by the fact that; Mrs. Frank
L, Kelley Of this city has positively
identified the. rosary found alongside
OF the body as belonging to her hus-
band. Mrs. Kelley stated this MORN
ing that the osary was presented to
her husband some time ago by Mrs.
Kelley's sister, Mrs. Ida Utecht Of
Richmond. Mimi. who when present.
ing it wrote Mr.. Kelley's name in
full on the crucifx. At the same time
Mrs. Utecht presented her own
brother, DR.. J. J. Gelz of Richmond,
Mimi, with another rosary on which
she wrote the doctors name.
Another thing which convinces Mrs.
Kelley that the murdered man is her
husband is the fact that three gold
teeth crowns were found in the ashes
alongside of the body. Mrs. Kelley
say that her husband had three gold
crowned teeth. 1t has been learned
On reliable authority that a Mankato
dentist has recognized the gold crowns
as the ones he placed on Mr.. Kelley's
