Warden Randall, in denying current
report to the effect that Sheriff c. P.
Holcombe had within the last few days
been offered the deputy wardenship Of
the state prison, said yesterday that
Deputy hangum was entirely satisfac-
tory in all respects, and that the Office
had not been rendered to Holcombe OF
to any other person since Langum's ap-
pointment. Both the present deputy
and Sheriff Holcombe are Scandinavians,
but the report concerning Holeombs
gained credence in some quarters be-
cause Of the notorious disgruntlement
among the Seandinavians of this local
ity, and the supposition that local ap-
pointment from that class would tend
to restore harmony.
