G0GGINS REVIEWS
RODD CASE
Local Attorney Says Sheriff Is Most
Famous Man in State of Wiscon-
sin-Tells of Legal Battle.

"Sheriff Hans Rodd is today the
most famous man in Wisconsin" Atty.
B. R. Goggins stated in an address be-
fore the Wisconsin Rapids Rotary Club
Wednesday. Mr.. Goggins was making
review of the Rodd case in which the
state supreme court on June 6 upheld
the decision of Judge A. Il. Reid Of
Wausau and in their decision denied
motion of Governor Blaine for a re-
hearing of the case before the Su-
preme Court. The Rodd case, it will be
remembered, grew out of the attempt
of Gov. Blaine to pardon Peter Christ,
labor leader, and Sheriff Rodd receiv-
ing orders both Judge Reid and Gov.
Blaine made the choice of following
the courts orders and was discharg-
ed by the Governor only to be rein
stated by the decision of the Supreme
Court.
Tells of Rodd
Mr.. Goggins stated that Hans Rodd
was a laboring man and member of
the union and as such was elected
Sheriff of Oneida county by large
vote. "Peter Christ a labor agitator
at the time of strike in the Rhine
lander Paper Co, was under orders
from the court to refrain from al
| legged intimidation of men who re-
manned in the company employ. In the
presence of large throng he tore up
the injunction and jumped on the
pieces and deied the courts. He plead
ed guilty to the charge of civil con-
tempt of court and was sentenced to
four months in the county jail and
four days before he was freed he was
| pardoned by the Governor. Sheriff
| Rodd, who was the court officer anG
responsible to the court obeyed orders
of Circuit Judge Reid who advised the
Sheriff not to release the prisoner
and the Governor suspended the Sher
iff," Mr.. Goggins stated.
Hard Legal Battle.
One of the basis on which the case
was decided was one of ancient ant
fundamental rights guaranteed undel

when the ballots were counted the re-
suit was declared tie.
It was decided to toss a dollar to
declare which of the two candidates
would prove the winner, and when the
coin was thrown by Frank Wagner,
who at the time was janitor at the
Court House, it dropped to the floor in
Mr.. Ebbe's favor. He assumed the
duties of the Office and has prove to
be one Of the most conscientious and
efficient registers of deeds in the his
tory Of the county.
His reelection to the third success
sive term showed his capable reputa-
ton among the voters of Wood Coun-
ty, and when he retires from the of
fee he will leave splendid record.
Married in 1899.
Mr.. Ebbe was united in marriage on
May 3, 1899 to Miss Emma Jensen of
the town Of Lincoln. Two daughters
the Misses Ethelynd and Leoline, have
blessed their union Mr.. Ebbe's moth
er is still living and resides with her
son and family at their home on Drake
street

Republican always certifying his be-
lief in its principles by voting the
straight ticket. In religion his belief is
of the Congregational faith. He is a
man of quiet and retiring disposi-
tion and a courteous and pleasant
servant of the public

from Nathan Smethurst, president Of

this date. wherein you state, in part.
that, in compliance with the instruc
tions of the president of the United
