ing a man under arrest the prisoner
made an attempt to murder him
but he succeeded in overpowering his
prisoner and taking him away in his
arms. Sheriff Cremer's services have
been such that he has become looked
upon as an ideal man for the position
and the action of the convention in
unanimously renominating him to
again make the race for the Office OF
sheriff is most pleasing to his friends
as it is an official sanction of his
work by the electors of the county.
The Sheriff's Assistants.
During his term in Office Sheriff
Cremer has been ably assisted by his
deputy, j. d. Stephens. The two of
ficials have worked tremendously to-
gether, as is proven by the excellent
record they have made in office. Dep.
uty Sheriff Stephens is tireless
worker and he has successfully Sec
onded the sheriff in his work. Turn
key Alva Fielder has also been an eff
ficient officer since he was chosen for
that position by Sheriff Cremer. He
has several times proven his ability
to handle the prisoners placed in his
charge. The best of management has
prevailed at the sheriff's Office and at
the Jail during the present incum
bency.
