OWATONNA, Mimi, March 10-Af-
ter one of the most exciting city cleo
tionS held here in years, Peter GanSor,
Democratic nominee for mayor was
elected today by majority of over
the present mayor, Hon. N. ]. Schafer.
E. c. Zamboni was chosen recorder by
"a over ]. w. Rowland, Republican.
The election was contested on straight
party lines, and was vigorous, since
it was aimed by the Republicans to
make it vindication of the present ad-
ministration, which has been marked
by one or two events which public SEN
timent scarcely justified. The principal
OF these was the killing Of George Krip-
, ner, drunken farmer, who made an
attempt to resist City Marshal Stewart,
who ordered Kripner to go home or he
would arrest him. A fight followed.
in which the marshal was slightly in
jured and Kripner so seriously that
death resulted in about four days.
Some thought this act of the marshal a
little strong. 1t is thought Mayor
Schafer would have been reelected
had it not been for an unpleasant al
tercatlon in which he figured this MORN
ing, and which cost him, doubtless,
several votes. Stewart was reelected
by III, which must be regarded as a
strong Endorsement of his conduct.
The others elected were City treas
urer, Peterson, Republican, by At; al
dermen, Green, Republican, by SO, and
Eastman, Republican, by 81; Hamil,
Democrat and Nelson, Republican, had
A
to the board of education at large with
out opposition. The vote was very
large, despite a heavy fall of snow.
which continued throughout the day.
