Candidate for Representative.

Having heen solicited bv numerous
friends TO become a candidate for
representative in the state legisla-
ture, ! have. after mature deliber-
alton, decided to enter the field, and
believing that all republicans should
know where l stand, offer the fol-
lowing: 1 am in most hearty accord
with the policies and administration
of President Roosevelt, and believe
that the man to succeed him as our
standard bearer is found in his most
able secretary. Hon. VIM. ii. Taft,
whom l most cheerfully support.
In state matters l firmly believe
that the splendid position which
south Dakota holds in the councils
of the nation, as a result of the SER
vices and standing Of Hon. A. b.
Kittredge not only iustifies his
retention as senator, but that a SER
ious Distake world be made, and
great prestige lost should lie he
reiired; therefore l am for his re-
election and with him the men who
did things while in Congress, Hon.
Fben W. Martin. and Hon. Charles
n. Burke.
If elected to this honorable position
l pledge myself to discharge the
duties thereof to the very best OF my

ACCIDENT OR SUICIDE
Fran. Puetterich, Formerly Of Mitch.
ell. Slightly Injured and
Raralu Miaaoa naah
Barely Missed Death

Franz Puetterich, a German
printer who used to live in Mitchell,
at which time he worked for the
Educator Supply Co., created quite a
good deal OF excitement In Aberdeen
Monday morning, and the people are
at q loss to Know whether he at
tempted to kill himself or whether
it was an accident that caused him
TO be beneath a Milwaukee freight
train.
Puetterich came down to Mitchell
Sunday TO see some Of his friends
and returned on the afternoon train.
While here it was noticed that he
acted a little peculiar. The Aberdeen
American gives-the following account
Of the incident:
Franz Perez uetterich, supposed to
be demented, had a narrow escape
from death beneath the wheels OF a
Milwaukee freight train Yesterday
morning as 1T was pulling out of the
yards to go to Mitchell. 1t has not
been decided whether the affair was
an accident or an attempt at suicide
though eye witnesses state that 1t
appeared to lie the latter.
Puetterich, who has been en-
ployed as a printer by the Dakota
Farmer. took the train with the
evident intention OF going to Mitch
|ell; when the train arrived at the
crossing at Third avenue in the west
part of town he fell or threw himself
between the caboose and the box car
10 front. Passers by rushed to the
scene expecting to find a mutilated
body out barring a severe cut on bis
face and several bad bruises lie was
all right; he was taken back to the
depot and a hack was called to take
him to st. Luke's hospital. There
an examination was made and
nothing serious found to be the
matter, in fact last night he was
taken to the Samaritan hospital from
which Institution DR.. Murdy said
last night that he would probably be
able to leave in a day or two.
For some time he was given evil
dence Of being wrong mentally
Train Dispatcher Mccormick accom-
panied him to the hospital and on
the way asked him why he tried to
kill himself and the: man replied
that he heard voices calling. McCor-
mick then asked il be was not glad
that he was not dead and to this
Puetterich said that 'it would be
just as WE'LL" He told the dis
patcher that he had a brother named
James living in Buffalo NJ. Y.
At the place where Puetterich
roomed a letter was found in his
room, written partly in German and
part in English. The concluding
portion of the letter contained a
reference to the possibility Of his
sudden death that his body should
be turned oyer to the nearest medical
college. The Aberdeen papers stated
that Puetterich had been drinking
considerably of late aud that a few
weeks ago he was locked up over
Sunday on account OF being drunk
and at that time he was on the verge
of delirium tremens.
