Unless he hears from kin or friends on the Pacific coast by tomorrow, Joseph Tschumperlin will end the delay in interment of R. H. Mitchell, steeplejack, who died of pneumonia here about a week ago.
The body has been held at the Capital funeral parlors since Mitchell's death, and word was sent, meanwhile, to the chief of police at Seattle, with request to give the news to the Seattle and Tacoma papers.
No information has been received here, however. Mitchell, according to a comrade with him when he arrived in Bismarck, was a Puget Sound steeplejack and worked on stacks out there. This is all that his companion could tell of the man. Mitchell bore no identification marks, as itinerant workers often do. He was very freckled, however.
