Tale of How Attempt Was Made To
Burn Man at Stake.

Pipestone, October 2S.-The Pipe
stone Star says: d. H. Evans, the
So called farmerlabor candidate for
governor is reported by The st. Paul
News to have made the following
statements in recent political
speech:
Those fighting us are stopping
at nothing to keep us from winning.
Two weeks ago rowdies at Pipestone
undertook to burn a man alive.
saw the man with my own eyes. He
was tied to the stake and the fire
had started to burn his clothes when
the sheriff rescued him, but did not
even reprimand the men who tried to
commit the crime
The appearance of the above in the
Wednesday edition of The News caus
great indignation when it was read
by Pipestone people. Officials charged
with the preservation of law and
order here, were especially incensed
that anyone, particularly candidate
for governor, would stoop to make
such unwarranted allegations. If
Mr.. Evans had any political strength
here after the incident at his recent
political meeting here when he re-
fused to comply with the agreement
to have the LeSueur letter read, he
has now probably sacrificed that sup
port.
The Star understands that formal
demands have been made upon The
News and upon Mr.. Evans for a re-
traction.

Student Army Training Corps There
Suggests Such Possibility.

If the present conditions exist very
much longer and the student army
training corps unit is increased in
size it is probable that the saloons
of ST.. Peter and Kasota will be affect
ed by The government order which
dictates that = five mile "dry zone"
must be established around every
".my cantonment, says The st.
Peter Free Press.
Lieutenant Soren K. Ossergaarde
has received the order from war
department in the form of Bulletin 35
which says that "a dry zone will be
established around every military
camp at which officers and enlisted
men, not less than $50 in number,
have been or shall be stationed for
more than thirty consecutive days"
The number of men in the local
unit no doubt will be increased if
the war keeps on much longer and
SO present indications are such that
it will not be long before st. Peter
and Kasota will be placed on the
dry map.
