ALLEGED SLAYER
HELD AT AITKIN

Jack Huhta, II, is being held in
the Aitkin county Jail for the Staying
Sunday of his brother-in-law, Simon
Louma, near Lawler. No specific
charge has been placed against the
man, pending the outcome of grand
jury investigation.
Meanwhile, authorities of Aitkin
and Carlton counties are in row as
to which county should defray the fun
eral expenses of Louma, whose body
was taken to Moose Lake. Aitkin
county contends that as the man died
in Carlton county, enroute to a hos
pital, that county should pay the e&-
penses, while Carlton holds that mas
much as Louma was mortally wounded
in Aitkin county, that county should
pay. Later, authorities of both coun-
ties learned that Louma originally
came from st. Louis county, so it was
indicated attempts would be made to
have the latter pay the expenses.
The dead mans father, Matt Louma,
from Embarass, said to be virtually
penniless, together with Simon LOU
mas wife and child, were in Moose
Lake Wednesday.
Details of the Staying were not OBJ
tanned, therefore the probable cause
is not known. Mrs. Louma and a
friend of the family, John Wisenen,
are being held as material witnesses.

HIS THIRD LOSS BY FIRE

(From Pine County Courier, Aug. 2.)
The temporary home of the Anton
Anderson family On their farm be-
tween here and Groningen was burned
to the ground Tuesday and very little
of the contents were saved. The An
dersons seem to be having more than
their share of fires, as their farm
home burned down late last fall and
they were living in a granary while
their new home is being erected and
now this was also burned. 1t is
thought that the fire originated from
kerosene stove which Mrs. Anderson
started and then went outdoors for
short time when the place was dis
covered to be on fire. Their new home
will be rushed to completion and is
expected to be ready for occupancy
soon. 1t is severe loss for Mr.. An
derson, as there was no insurance on
the contents. All of his school and
telephone records were also consumed.

Ball Players
Make Merry
At Banquet

The banquet given the Askov base
ball team last night at the D. B. S.
dining room was nothing short of the
| real thing. Mrs. V. Heininge was in
charge of the eats of which there was
plenty and of the very best. At the
outset Mayor Louis Olsen bid the
audience welcome and in an appro-
pirate manner addressed the team for
a few minutes. When everybody but
the writer (Svend lPetersen) were
through eating he took charge as
POSTMASTER and called on various old
timers in rotation according to age,
or amount of hair, or other qualifiica-
tions, and before it was realized two
hours had passed away listening to
old baseball stories and discussing
baseball in general. Owing to the
| fact that the team will today re-
classify two of its members from the
| single" column to the double" COL
umn, it was thought advisable to
terminate activities at an early hour
l-10:30. A number of the boys, how
ever, remained another hour for a
game of cards.
The spread was. sponsored by local
baseball enthusiasts, and more par
ticularly so by those who watched the
Askov boys take the undefeated Stur-
| geon Lake visitors down to the tune
Of to 3 on the Askov diamond last
Sunday. That game was almost per-
| feet on Askov's part and created a
lot of enthusiasm around town for
giving the team some kind of treat
Several boys who have played with
the team more or less were not at
home for the occasion, having gone
to the harvest fields of other states;
among them will be recalled: Hans
Nielsen, Axel Hansen and others.
The only one from at home who was
absent was Morten Slot, and it was
really too bad that he was not there
to hear the many complimentary re-
marks about his ability as an umpire.
All the rest of the gang were there
and consists of the following: Geo.
Clegg, Carl Hyldahl, Jens Hyldahl,
Werner johnson, Gust Thompson, An
ker M. Simonsen, Viggo Jensen, Carl
l. Jensen, Leonard Frahs, Sigvard
Sorensen, Henry Petersen; Joseph A.
Zoller, scorekeeper; E. ]. Clegg, man
ager; and Svend Petersen, secretary
treasurer. t-.

Forty-four persons attended a re-

Martin L. Nelson of Hinckley, occa-
stoned by the fact seven Nelson

present. Those who attended the

four children and three grandchil-
dren; Elof Nelson, Los Angeles;
Charles Nelson of North Branch and
enc child; David Nelson, Duluth and

through their new picture, Five

Warner Bros. have in the process

title is a saleslady in chain

all over its front. Louis. the

LenOre Uric AS
A Harlem
LOrelei
By HAROLD PHILIIPS

Was a time when Dean David
Belasco would shout "Heresy!"
if a property man stuck arti-
ficial flowers in a vase or had
Lady Cholmondeley pressing q
button for Dregs, the butler.
without an echoing ring off
stage. Part of the grew war
rior's reputation was reared on
his ineffable flair for the realis-
tic. If there was a clock in the
set, that clock was so ultra
realistic as to be an hour ahead
of every other clock. And so on.
The deans sureness OF eye must
be falling him for, in Lulu
Belle" he is guilty Of several
malfeasanees that, some years
ago, would have sent him INTO
llomicidal RACES, at their remotest
suggestion.
Lulu Is throttled behind a cur.
tain so that you can't see her
eyes bulge. A Ford car is pushed
on. the stage and pulled off with.
out one honest put, put" from
under the hood. Nobody crosses
the threshold of the Biiou Gem
theater, though a dusky Juno
presides anxiously at the window.
OF such triviality is criticism
fashioned In Washington this
Tuesday morning. But then.
Lulu Belle is no big, significant
thing, either. 1t is actually q,
very mediocre story OF b Harlem
Cleo, vitalized beyond its worth
by the verve Of q sublilnely.cast
Uric. The supporting troupe Is
heavy. numerically, but feather.
weight in an histrionic sense. The
bulk Of 1t is atmosphere solely
and several of the supporting
Whites act as though they were
suddenly promoted from these
ranks. Frank Thomas, as Lulu's
dark lover, retrieves In the last
act, some part Of an acting
'repute he had thrown to the
winds in the preceding three.
Lulu Belle Is high yellow and a
congenitally bad egg. She is not
above the puniest of larcenies-
doesn't she steal gold tooth from
dopey victim?- though her
forte is the conquest Of hearts,
preferably those whose owners
have strong loins and bulging wal
lets. Through the ranks of the
cruder Juans in Harlem she
works her way to 81 French vis-
count who installs her in Paris
apartment where retribution, in
the shape of q scorned lover,
winds like a boa constructor about
her tawny throat.
Scenically, the production Is
rich in those colors that dis
tinguish the inner boundaries OF
any colony of people. There is a
street scene, a flat interior.
colored night club and, lastly, the
Paris love nest.
Lulu Belle" is q soaring solo
for Leonore Uric, with occa-
sional piccolo peeps from the 40
others in the ensemble.
