fiict for Sheriff OF Red
wood County
DEMO Gratis TO HAVE CANDIDATE
Billy To Go Against Successful
Kepublican-W Well Known
In County

j. Albert Johnson will not be a
candidate for sheriff of Redwood
county.
William Rosendahl will be.
This covers the latest in Redwood
lcounty politics.
business Keeps johnson Out
For some time it has been reported
that Mr.. Johnson would get into the
fight. He received considerable en-
couragement but his present bust
ness association will not permit him
to make the race and he has definite
ly decided to keep out.
NJ. Rosendahl who has been men
tion@d several times as possible
cane ldate on the Democratic ticket
flee yesterday for the job and will
&c ter it hard.
We I Known LIN Redwood County
b " has lived in Redwood county
twel ~ years and in Redwood Falls
since 1899 when he was mustered
out ef the army following the Span
ish-kmerican war
It IS doubtful if thereis a better
known man in the county outside of
politics than Rosendahl. He has
worked in various sections of the
county and for years had black
smith and machine shop here.
Billy Will Make A Fight
The man who is without faults and
enemies is Of course not only too
good for politics, he's too good to
live. Billy isn't too good to live.
But saere isn't a better hearted man
in the county than Billy, a reader
mix aaar man ADLER to make friends.
This is a Republican county and it is
assumed that the Republican nomi-
nee has cinch on the job but who
ever goes against Mr.. Rosendahl will
know he's had a fight.
Billy served during the Spanish
American war and is now classed a
veteran.
Petrie Expected to File
Henry Petrie who has said more
than once that he intends to be a
candidate has made no announce
ment but it is supposed he will get
busy little later on Henry made
a good fight two years ago and at
that time made large number of
friends. He has a wide acquaint-
ance throughout the county and
should be able to conduct a shorter
and more effective campaign than
the others who have never taken
part in county scrap.
Frank Hassenstab is making a lot
of friends and more is heard Of his
candidacy than of Tolman's though
no one is claiming to have a sure
thing as yet.

Marcene Williams was fatally in
jured in an automobile accident Sun
day afternoon, near Norwood.
He was hurried to Minneapolis
hospital and died shortly after reach
ing there.
His chest was crushed, three ribs
being broken and he suffered con-
cussion of the brain.
Reynolds Went to Help Him
B. James Reynolds was driving
just ahead of Marcene and hurried
to his assistance when the car turn
ed over. He found the boy lying be-
side the road and unconscious.
reached for a glass of water Mr..
Reynolds brought and then instantly
became unconscious.
Mr.. Reynolds took him to DR.. J.
E. Soper at Norwood and from there
he was hurried by train to St. Bar
nabas hospital, Minneapolis.
Physicians were unable to help
him and he died shortly after seven
O'Clock Sunday evening.
The BODY was brought to Redwood
Tuesday morning and the funeral
was held this afternoon at 2.30, Rev.
j. j. Ehrstein officiating. There was
a profusion of floral gifts and a
tribute was paid the young man by
the citizens if this city and surround
ing country. He was the son of Mr.,
and Mrs. Eli Williams and was -
years of age. No young man was
more popular or more generally re-
spected. He had been connected with
the auto business for months and was
considered one of the best drivers in
town.
Drove to City Saturday
On Saturday Mr.. Reynolds, ac-
companied by Mr.. Williams, drove
to Minneapolis to bring out a new
Ford which he had sold to Mr..
Swenson. He and Williams started
out Sunday, Mr.. Reynolds leading in
the new car.
About Is minutes before the upset
they stopped at Young America, and
as Williams was getting most Of the
dust, Reynolds told him to lead for a
while, but he said mo, am alright
l would just as soon follow" These
were probably his last words.
Just this side Of Norwood they
struck a stretch Of road graveIled in
spots, but not at the place of the
accident. Mr.. Reynolds ran through
without any trouble, but looking
back he found Marcene was not fol-
lowing. He ran back and found the
young man lying near the road.
He reached for the water Mr.. Rey-
nolds offered him but was apparently
unconscious and did not again gain
consciousness.
Can't Explain Accident
Mr.. Reynolds is unable to explain
the accident. He joins with Mr..
Shildknecht, whom he met in Nor
wood, in saying that there was no
bad road and no condition that could
be expected to throw a car over.

SUPPRESSION or THE EVER
cLADEs REPORT

With all the hullabaloo and rankan-
tankerous denials CT the suppression
of the government engineers report
upon the drainage of the Everglades,
i it now turns out that the report was
suppressed. Mr.. Joseph A. Arnold,
editor in chief of the division of pub
LEGATION of the department of agricul-
ture, has assumed full responsibility
for the suppression. He told the
Moss committee that he had recon-
mended its suppression, and in doing
so had voiced the opinion of Secretary
Wilson.
That was as far back as 1910, i, e.,
when the report was suppressed.
why did you oppose the publica-
ton of this report?" asked Chairman
Moss.
Because of the obvious irreconcfli-
able differences between the engi
neers of the department and the con-
flict of opinion outside of the depart
ment," answered Mr.. Arnold. 1T was
apparent to me that no report could
be issued with the unanimous approx
al of the department. l thought that
it was time to exercise caution and
prudence. / recommended, therefore
that no report be issued at all.
Was An Unfair Report
"a bulletin from the department
should be the last word from the de-
partment, and did not think it fair
to the people of the country to give
them any bulletin which was not en-
dorsed by the department. The Sec
rotary agreed with me-"
Mr.. Arnold admitted that he had
talked about the Everglades to men
who had interests in them. He said
that many persons called at the de-
partment to talk about the Ever
glades.
"Dou you know of anyone approach
ing yourself or the secretary of ag-
riculture or any other official of the
department improperly in this mat
ter?" asked REPRESENTATIVE Sloan, a
member of the committee.
Absolutely no one, SIR" replied
Mr.. Arnold.

that when they learn that to enter

my personal interests they will agree
with me that I am pursuring the prop
er course in Withdrawing from the
contest.
When I entered the race it was
