New LIN BROWN COUNTY. MINNESOTA, WEDNESDAY, AUG ,
OFFICERS sUsPENIED;
SUCCESSORS ARECCUPTFtL

-, II
Nearly a week ago Governor J. A. A..
Burnquist notified Mayor =. A. Fritsche,
County Auditor L. G. Vogel and City
Attorney Albert Pfaender that they had
been suspended from Office, because
the Safety Commission wished it.
The governor designated William
Packer as Mr.. Vogel's successor and Wd.
Eibner as temporary mayor. However
he has failed to notify either Of their
appointment. All they know about it
is from what they have read in the papers
or heard some one say.
The governor says the charges against
the suspended officers will be in
vestigated and he may re.nstate them.
In the meantime New UIm is not sure
that it has mayor, and Brown county
is in doubt about its auditor. u

JOHNNY DUNDEE
GIVEN SURPRISE

Johnny Dundee had the surprise OF
his life handed to him in Philadel-
phia recently when he hit the canvas
in the first round of his bout with
Willie Jackson, another New Yorker,
who was figured as soft picking by
the Scotch Wop.
Jackson isn't Jackson at all. His
right moniker is Oscar Tober, and
his home is in the Bronx. Just three
years ago he entered the ring, and
only recently graduated from prelim-
mary ranks. He showed some class
when he defeated Tommy O'Keefe, Of
Philadelphia, but was not taken seri-
ously until he hung the JOY killer on
Dundee.
The knockout is a terrific blow to
