PITIFUL STORY OF A WIFE
Cases Before the District Court---Prog-
ress of the Election
- Contests.

At the regular monthly meeting of the
board of prison managers, held yester-
day at the warden's office, the resigna-
ton of Warden Randall was accepted,
to take effect Feb. 1. Mr.. Randall
rendered his resignation at the last
meeting of the board, but it was not
acted upon. A few days after he with
drew his resignation. but, notwithstand-
ing that fact, the board saw fit to accep
it. After accepting:Mr. RandalPs resig
nation, Albert IGarvin, of the st. Cloud
reformatory. was elected as his success
sor. Mr.. Garviu is thoroughly ac-
quainted with prison discipline, and
was for many years warden of the
penitentiary at Joliet, Ill. He will, no
doubt, make a good warden, and resi-
dents of this city express themselves
well pleased with his election. Mr..
Randall, when asked yesterday by a
GLOBE representative if he had any
thing to say in regard to the matter,
stated that he was well satisfied with
the result. and that he would now be
free from all of the abuse which has
been accorded him during the past few
months.
MdIY JULIUS, Gl1O WIZ VI d COIlFlCb at
the prison, arrived in this city few
days ago from Winona, where she had
been cared for at the county pOorhOuSe
since her husband was sent to prison
some five months ago. She applied for
admission to the prison, claiming that
she was in destitute circumstances and
that the authorities at the poorhOuse in
Winona had given her money with
which to purchase ticket to this city,
and that they had positively refused to
keep her any longer. Warden Randall
told her that it was impossible for him
to grant her request. She is nursing a
two-monthS-oid child and is unable to
work for her support. When asked
what she intended doing, she said that
unless some one at the prison would
take her child and care for it she would
do something desperate, meaning that
she would get rid of the child in some
manner. She claims to have brother
residing at Minnesota. near WinOna,
who also refuses to help her, owing to
the fact that her husband was sent to
prison. She will probably be returned
to Winona, where her husband was con-
yicted of forgery and sentenced to five
year S il. p sonnet.
