Viroqua, Wis, August 26, 1922.

yiroqua, Wis, August &c, 1922.
Dear Editor
! enclose statement which would
ike for you to publish IN your paper
this coming week.
/ think this statement explains it
SELF Perhaps you are acquainted
with the facts referred to but II not
assure you that Mr.. Helgeson's state
ment is false, as have never held the
Office of Clerk of Court and so OF
course / could not have been removed
for inefficiency, and Mr.. Helgeson
knows it, so he must be deliberately
trying to mislead the voters Of the
county.
You can verify my statements If
you wish by consulting any official,
business or professional man IN the
city of Viroqua.
If this action of Mr. Helgeson, IN
circulating this story which he knows
to be false, appeals to you as unfair,
and as unworthy of a candidate for
the Office he seeks, ] would like to
have you call the attention of the
voters TO my statement and comment
upon it editorially if you see fit.
! am not asking favor from any one
because / am a woman, but Mr.. Hell
geson has started this story at SO late
an hour that i have no way of an
swering it except through the press
Of the county and in this earnestly
seek your cooperation and support.
Thanking you for past favors and
for anything you may be able to say or
do for me at this time, remain,
Your very truly,
LUNA COSTING.

Ellis Krenelka, we'll driller Of Ken
mare, father Of Augusta Krenelka,
girl, reported to have attempted sui
eide at Fargo Monday, was in Minot
Tuesday morning en- route to the Gate
City. The father announced that the
girl would be brought to Kenmare
at once provided her condition per-
mitted. Mr.. Krenelka had received
no word Of the affair from Fargo, and
his only information Of his daughters
desperate deed had been learned from
the daily newspapers Monday evening.
Augusta Krenelka, states her faith
er, was a girl of remarkably sunny
temperament, who seldom permitted
worries to affect her care-free DISPOSE
ton. He could imagine no possible
motive for the attempt at suicide.
He stated that Augusta and James
Morrow had once gone together" as
youngsters in Kenmare, but that for
many months the two had been mere
casual friends. Miss Krenelka left
Kenmare but a month ago to attend
a Fargo business college.
Word from Fargo says that Miss

Alleged Alarm Clock Assailant Ac-
quilted

Wilke Uribiwinia, charged with as
sault with a dangerous weapon with
intent to do bodily harm was acquitted
by a jury in district court Monday
afternoon after deliberating for about
three hours. The charge against the
defendant grew out Of an alteration
with Mrs. M. l.. Higgins, at her res
idence in southeast Minot, as result
Of which she was confined to a local
hospital for several days suffering
from injuries. The weapon with
which the accused man was claimed
to have assaulted the woman was an
alarm clock.
II was rather surprised at the jury's
verdict" said States Attorney o. B.
Herigstad today. "The testimony, l
thought personally, tended to show
that there was no doubt but that the
defendant assaulted the woman, but
my supposition is that the jury took
into consideration the fact that he
already has been in Jail about two
months and figured that that punish
ment would suffice"

r l 1/2 Acres

E. D. Skinner, pioneer Sawyer man,

worth Of vegetables with cash out
lay Of only $3.50. He paid $3.50 to

self. The little plot of ground pro-
duced the following:
IS bushels of beans ------$168.0O
