WON'T BE DARK HORSE IN OPEN RACE
Rauen Issues Statement in Which He Explains That

Sheriff William Rauen set aside all
speculations on the subject of whether
or not he would be again candidate

he came out this morning with a de-
cided and final negative, and issued a
statement containing the reasons why
he would not again enter the political
arena at this time. He said that he
had given the matter considerable
thought and serious consideration but
felt, under the circumstances, that it
was not wise for him to be candi-
date.

morning, Gin spite of the opinion of
the attorney general that l may run
for Office again if I wish, I feel that
it is not quite in form or according to

the county through the newspaper,

Girl Found Dazed
in Cemetery Grounds
Mystery Surrounding Finding of Girl
Dazed in Green Ridge Cemetery
is Cleared Away.


Considerable excitement was aroused
among the people living in the neigh
borhood of the Green Ridge cemetery
recently as a result of the fact that a
young lady was found in a dazed con-
dition wandering near the chapel Of
the cemetery on last Wednesday
evening. Wild reports, none of them
founded on facts, resulted; these were
sifted down this morning unravelling
all of the mystery which had sur
rounded the case.
On Wednesday night just before
eleven o'clock young man who was
returning to his home, while passing
by the Green Ridge cemetery on Sheri-
dan road, heard girl moaning with
in the cemetery. He went to her as
sistance, summoned the police and had
her taken to her home.
1t was declared this morning that
the facts of the case had not been
made public inasmuch as the girl in
question has been subject to attacks
of a form of aphasia in which she
walks for long period until she falls
from exhaustion. All other rumors re-
garding the case are said to be with
out foundation.

STILL SEE HOPES OF
COAL AGREEMENT
Operators and Workers Hold Another
Session in Washington.
This Afternoon.
tBy Associated Press Leased wire.)

Washington, D. C.-Decision of the
anthracite coal mine operators and
union representatives to meet again
today, was taken as an indication at
least of continued hope of reaching
an agreement through the conference
called by President Harding to con-
slider methods of securing resump-
ton of work in the industry.
No statement was Forthcoming from
either side, however, as to the trend
of developments on adjournment of
yesterdays meeting, which was said to
have been without definite results.
The bituminous strike situation,
which will be taken up again Monday,
is pressing itself upon the attention
of officials as to the matter of the pub
lies coal supply. The chief concern
is felt over the present curtailment of
shipments for the northwest, failure
to receive the usual supply transported
by the Great Lakes in summer, it is
considered, raising the possibility of
congested railroads next winter.
