Superintendent Of Hamilton
County Receives Anonymous
Letter of Warming
APPOINTMENT IS INVOLVED
Superintendent threatened With Death
if He Appointed Certain Man an In.
stitute Instructor - Proceeds to Act
and Lays Letter Before Government
Authorities.
Special 70 Tirnes-Republlcan.


Webster CHy. May 14--The follow
Ing letter has just been made public;
city, Jan, 3. 1907.--Prof. Holaday:
A word to the wise. You take In Ford
and Won Krog or either OF them at your
institute and there will be a big fat
pedagog knocked out In the woods.
You1I be out late some evening and
not return. II you know what's good
for your hide you'll know whom to
employ in your institute.
When simple asking don't bring re-
suits you should have the gun put at
you. 'Remeiraber' DO you value your
life. Then heed and be wise. Remem-
Der your friend. Friend OF the one you
must engage to make progress and
have stability Is yours truly"
The above anonymous letter threat
ening the life of superintendent of the
Hamilton county schools. Prof. j. M.
Holiday, was received by the profess
sor about January Of this year. Not
until today has the news that the letter
was received become public property.
Prof. Holiday himself has never
taken the matter seriously So far as
the threat Is concerned. However,
he is of the opinion that the author
of the letter was not joking but
making an attempt at ilrttnbdati lon.
The professor has no fear that any
of the direful threats will be carried
out. This is evidenced by his action
In appointing Prof. Ford as one of the
instructors at the coming county insti-
tute.
After receiving the letter Profess
sor Holiday did nothing with 1t for
some time. Finally believing that
the party who was the author of the
letter and who sent 1t to him was q
violdtor Of the United States postal
laws he wrote to the Third Assistant
Postmaster General at Washington, D.
c., In regard to the matter. He res
ceived "a reply to the effect trat that
office had nothing to do with such mat
tiers.
The professor took no further tac-
ton in regard to the matter FOR some
time, but has now decided to write to
United States District Attorney Fayille
OF Storm Lake and learn from him the
proper method Of proceeding to appre-
bend and convict the guilty party.
Mr. Holiday says that he knows who
the author of the letter Is as well as
if the name were signed.
THE act Of writing this anonymous
letter, Is too despicable to be described,
Its author is mo better and no worse
than others Of his class. The anHony-
nous letter is the resort OF the coWara
to accomplish his purpose.
