JOHNSON A CANDIDATE.

Andrew Johnson, who has served
as deputy sheriff of this county for
several years, is now candidate for
the Office of county sheriff. Mr..
Johnson is we'll known and is a
strong candidate.
He was wounded badly last
November while discharging his Off
cial duties in the capture of set of
robbers west of town. He has a
strong Republican backing and his
friends contend that his long and
faithful service, coupled with his
knowledge of the Office routine, en-
title him to a term as sheriff.
Sheriff Hazen has not yet entered
the field for denomination, but should
he do so, is looked upon as Johnson s
only opponent. Following is his
announcement: ~
1 hereby announce myself as
candidate for the republican nomina-
ton for sheriff of Beltrami county
at the primaries September Goth.
l respectfully solicit the support
of the voters of this county.

himself of a speech that was worth

No one had had an intimation that
speech would be expected of him.

to the humor of his auditors. The
hour OF midnight had almost arrived
when the departures began.
