 TO FEDERAL PRISON

 HIM.
Says No Influence Was Used By Him Relatives Of the Girl
 Prosecute.

Memphis, Term, May 29-Gus Dclds, former town marshal of Ealle, Ark, was found guilty by a jury in the United States court late this af- ternoon of violating the white slave law and given sentence of six years in the Federal prison at Atlanta. A fine eff $500 was also assessed.
 Dodds was charged with having enticed seventeen year old Madeline Brasfield, of Milan, Tenn, to Earle. Ark. Madeline Brasfield took the stand shortly after court opened and told her story. She is very pretty and refined in appearance. She said that she was living with younger sister in Milan when Dodds' appeared and persuaded her Eo come to Mem- phis with him and then to Earle, Ark, where she lived with him. Miss BIasfield's brother-in-law, Rev w. s. Epperson, an Oklahoma clergy man. discovered the truth of the mat ter and swore cut a warrant for Dcdds. The hearing was replete wi h sens tional features. The bro- ther-:nlaw, a brother and two sisters of Madeline. also testified against Dcdds, who is a middle aged man. While waiting for the trial Miss Bras- field was confined to Coed Shep- herds home in this city and will probably remain there Indefinitely.
 Dodds defense was that the girl was in no way influenced by him. Those who appeared to testify ill Dodds behalf were J. D. Tufts, may CT of Earle, and : Hugh Chalmers, president of the commercial club ot that place.

dorsement Of your precinct and
county will reflect credit upon the
community.
In the gubernatorial fight vote for
delegates who will support William
E. Lee of Long Prairie. The more
we see and hear Of the man, the bet
Il ter we like him. He is a clean cut,
straightforward gentleman who is
making a good campaign, paying his
own expenses, and will give the state
an economical and efficient admins
|tration if elected.
Mr.. Gordon claims preference over
Lee on the grounds that Kandiyohi
county is in his congressional dis
ltrict. Lees home is only half the
distance from our county that Cor
don's is, and Gordon has shown nc
disposition to keep out Of Lees con-
lgressional district. This, therefore
is very lame excuse at the best
The real issue is, who. is the best
man for the place?

Eyes of State on Kandiyohi.

Kandiyohi county will be the first
county in Minnesota to elect dele
gates who will help nominate a re-
publican candidate for governor and
other state officers. Having the re-
putation of being progressive COM
munity, it is natural that the rival
candidates for the nomination should
make strenuous efforts to secure the
endorsement Of this county for the
moral effect it may have upon the
result in other communities. The
contest is particularly warm between
Gordon and Lee. Both these candi-
dates are spending the week in the
county.
If it is Of Importance to the cam
didates to secure Kandiyohi county's
endorsement it is Of still greater i'm
portance that the county sustain its
reputation as a progressive commun-
ity. This it will do if the voters are
on the look out in each precinct and
don't neglect to go to the polls and
permit the caucus go by default
The polling places will be open fol-
one hour next Saturday evening
from Z 80 to 80 o'clock at the u.s.
ual polling place unless otherwise
designated. The Township of Will
mar will vote in the I. O. O. F. store
building.
In the presidential preference give
your vote for Bob La Toilette. His
sincerity as progressive cannot b.
questioned and giving him the en-.

PASTOR TO BE TAR.

BOSTON, May 10.-Desiring to try
life In the navy and its opportunity
to travel as a change from pastoral
work in rural parish, a man who
said he was the Rev. Luther Grice,
pastor of the Free Baptist church at
Shady Rill, VT, applied for enlistment
yesterday as an ordinary seaman at
the naval station here.
Members of the Shady Rill church
two days ago asked the newspapers
to aid them in finding their pastor,
who disappeared on Sunday before
the time Of the usual morning serv-
ice. They had received no intimation
OF his intention to give up his pastor
ate and were fearful that harm had
befallen him.
To the recruiting officer here the
applicant said that his salary at the
Vermont church was small and that
he believed life in the navy offered
more advantages than the ministry,
particularly in the opportunity y
study language and to view foreign
countries. {.
When physical examination devel-
oped no objections to the ministerial
candidates enlistment he was told
that the papers would be ready on
Tuesday and he said he would appear
then. prepared to don the uniform.
