COUNTY COURT.

The Honorable County Court was
called in adjourned session on last
Saturday, March 18th, to consider
the road matter. The question fol
the extra session to pass on was the
acceptance or rejection OF the state
and governments offer of assistance
and the selling of the two hundred
thousand dollars of road bonds,
which, the people Of the county had
voted nearly year ago. The court
wisely accepted the offer or plan Of
the state and government, and the
bonds were sold to Caldwell and
Sons of Nashville for 96c on the dol.
lar. Since the bond market is dull
this is perhaps pretty good offer
A government surveyor will soon be
at work surveying out the most
practicalroute through the county.

nounced today the appointment of

intendent of schools, ex- officio, Mat
tias Sanger OF Mankato, members of

county child welfare board. 1t was
stated at the board Office that there
are new seventy child welfare boards
in the state with a total membership
OF three hundred and fifty six, Min
nesota being a pioneer leader in this
form of organization and in the COM
pleteness and general excellence Of
Its laws protecting children. Several
states are now studying the results
here with view to establishing sim
liar laws.
Work of Welfare Board
In complimenting the work of the
child welfare board in this county
the board of control said: 1T is a
source Of qualification to us that your
board has recognized that the protec.
first obligation and a measure of its
humanity. BY your unselfish service
10 the dependent, neglected, delinquent
and feeble minded children of your
county and your effective cooperation
with Judge Harry A. Johnson of the
juvenile court-the Probate Judge
in the administration of the juvenile
court and mothers allowance laws,
you are enrolled as a crusader in the
conservation Of child life-a cause
which Christ cherished and the de.
velopment of which is the most hope
full sign Of regeneration in this puzzl-
ing and chaotic twentieth century
For the coming year the board hopes
and more power in the doing of your
most commendable work"
Regional Conferences Held
Attention was also called to the
regional conferences OF child welfare
boards which are being held in var
ious counties of the state. These
conferences will be extended to every
county. The five conferences thus
far held have included some twenty
boards and have been widely attend
ed.
The board OF control announced at
this time new policy of cooperation
with the local welfare bard to pre-
vent the marriage of the unfit, There
seems to have been an alarming in
crease in the mating of the feeble
minded. AS a means of checking this
increase, the board of control will In
the future send to each clerk Of the
district court full list OF all persons
who have been determined to be
feeble minded by the courts. When
the clerk receives an application for
marriage license he will thus be
able to check the names of the appli-
cants and determine whether they
are entitled to receive such a license.

Mrs. MartindaIe Modest
And Unassumine
NEVER FIRED REVOLVER
Waukon Official Says She's Not
Blood-Thirsty Adventures;
Don't Like Office
ASSOCIATED Press DISPATCH

Waukon, Iowa, February 27.-Mrs
Guuda Martindale, sherin OF ALBANIA
kee county, wants the world to know
that she is not a blood thirsty adven
turess, but a modest, unassumins
woman who has been subjected to
nection with the Staying near here
recently Of a country school teacher.
When the body of Inga Magnuson
was found in her lonely schoofhouse
near Dorcheste eighteen miles north
of here, Sheriff Martindafe's deputies
started In search Of the slayer which
resulted, after sensational cross
country run with bloodhounds, in the
capture of Earl Throst, a neighbor OF
brought back to the county Jail here.
From the moment of Throsts ar
rest, through his trial and after his
sentence to hang, Mrs. Martindale has
been given what she considers alto
gether too much publicity, most OF
which lauded her as being the prin :
cipal actor in the pursuit and directly
responsible for the speedy arrest Oh
the slayer.
Denials BY Mrs. MartindaIe
Among other things, Mrs. Martin
dale denies published accounts:
That she followed the bloodhounds
day and night trailing Throst:
That she saved the prisoner from
mob violence;
That she plans to spring the trap
when Throst is hanged.
Mrs. Martindale declares that she
never\ fired a revolver in her life. She
declares that newswriters have over
looked the manner in which she be-
came sheriff and are broadcasting the
implication that she is stern ayeng-
er OF the law. Mrs Martindale's hus-
band was elected sheriff. He died In
office. The county board Of super
visors decide TO name Mrs. Martin.
dale sheriff and draw the salary OF
the office until January l. 1928. the
time her husbands term would have
expired.
Being named sheriff, says Mrs. Mar
tindale, has not caused her to take
any active part in the capture OF
criminals. She continues to care for
her children and the deputies handle
the outside work Connected with the
cefce. Mrs. Martindale says she Will
