MAN PROVES HE'S
STILL MUCH ALIVE
DENIES THAT BODY SHIPPED
SEVERAL THOUSAND
MILES IS HIS.

COMFREY, Minn.-The body of
one William C. Kruger, which arriv-
ed here from Seattle, Wash, yester-
day, lay unclaimed at the local rail-
way express office while William C.
Kruger, who, on hearing that his
body has been shipped here for burial,
returned home to prove to the folks
that he was still alive.
On October 2lst one William c.
Kruger of Seattle, Wash, was re-
ported to have slain his wife and two
daughters and to have taken his own
life. A friend identified the dead man
as William c. Kruger, of Comfrey,
and notified Mrs. Mary Kruger, of
this place, that her son had commit
ed suicide.
Paid $40 to Get Corpse.
At the time Mrs. Krueger's son, a
representative of Cleveland cash reg
lister company, was at Vader, Wash
Mrs. Kruger sent $40 to Seattle to
cover expenses for shipping the body
of her son" to Comfrey.
Upon hearing that his BODY had
been shipped to his home town VIII
liam c. Kruger left Vader and arriv-
ed here to testify that he was not the
corpse. :.
After proving that he was yet alive
the question arose as TO what DISPOSE
ton was to be made of the Seattle
man. Mrs. Kruger declared she
would be willing to forfeit the $34O
paid for transportation of William c.
Kruger, deceased, and was content
that her son was alive. County au-
thorities refused to be burdened with
the burial of a man who died several
thousands Of miles from here. Railway
officials were notified that the ship
ment had been refused. What dispo-
sition will be made of the remains OF
the Seattle man is still to be deter
mined.

GOOD WORK Is DONE
AT THE STATE FARM
DIR. ATKINS, CHAPLAIN, SUB
MITS INTERESTING REPORT
TO THE COMMISSION.

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga-Dr K.
c. Atkins, chaplain at the prison farm
here, is doing some good work. In his
monthly report to the Prison Com
mission for October he thanks friends
in Georgia and elsewhere for cooper
alton.
Bible League.
With the beginning of October DIR.
Atkins resumed night services in the
dormitories of both the white and col
ored men at the male camp. Services
are now held each Tuesday, Wednes
day and Sunday nights. There were 81
religious services held in the three
camps during the month, exclusive OF
the six Sunday schools.
Twenty men and women have ac-
cepted Christ, and joined the State
Farm Religious Association, the re-
port said Twenty-Five have united
with the Pocket Testament League
and become daily readers of the Bible.
One person has been baptized and
three have died.
Z. G.. Budde, of Louisville, KY, sent
two boxes OF books. A person in Chi
cago, who did not give the name, gave
three volumes of Cartoons works.
The Southern Methodist Publishing
House gave $50 song books. The Bus
mess Mems Council OF the Pocket
Testament League sent so New Tesla
ments.
Articles Needed.
Friends in Savannah, Atlanta. Bos-
ton and other places are actively CO.
operating in effort to secure $50 fold
ing chairs for use in the chapel SER
vices in the three camps. Several doz-
ell have been pledged. If any church,
Sunday school, lodge, club or society
can aid by donating a dozen chairs it
would be greatly appreciated. A small
organ is also needed for use in the
dormitory for white men. Friends at
Milledgeville purchased piano for
use in the chapel services on the Sab
bath, but a small organ for dormitory
services where men are locked in for
the night would aid in the religious
work and brighten the lives OF the
prisoners. Any organization or indi-
vidual that can help is requested to
communicate with the chaplain at Mil
ledgeville, Route s, Box 4.
The outlook for the fall and winter
campaign for religious work at the
state farm is encouraging, the report
said.
DIR. Atkins, whose salary is paid by
the Georgia Prison Commission. is a
member of the North Georgia Confer
ence, and is assigned at the annual
sessions of that body to the work here.

NAMES TAKEN
FROM PETITION
Withdrawals From the Genoa
School District are Reduced
to But One Petitioner Only

Apparently realizing the hopeless
ness as well as the injury that would
surely result to the Genoa school dis
trict, should the Withdrawals as petit
toned for by numerous residents, be
approved, all with the exception of
one of the signers have withdrawn
their names from the petition recently
presented to the board of county COM
missioners for action. Frank Settel-
meyer, is the lone petitioner asking
for transfer from the Genoa to the
Minden district. 1t is set forth that
the Minden school bus already goes
to the Schacht ranch, adjoining the
Settelmeyer property and that the
change asked for would be of great
benefit and convenience to the chill
dren of the latter. To attend the
school at Genoa, it is necessary for
the parent to drive about ten miles
each day, bringing the children to and
from school. Should the transfer be
effected, the children would be picked
up by the Minden school bus which
already makes daily trips to within a
very short distance from the Settel-
meyer ranch.
The matter will come up for hear
ing at the next regular meeting of the
board of county commissioners to be
held Monday, October 9th.

HOLD MEETING
Leaders Believe That Douglas
County Will Give Coolidge
Big Vote on November 4th

A meeting of Republicans was held
in Gardnerville Wednesday night at
the call of John E. Drendel, chairman
of the county central committee and
was quite largely attended by men
active in the ranks of that political
party.
Many matters appertaining to the
coming presidential election were dis
cussed at some length and from re-
ports at hand it is believed that Doug
las county will go overwhelmingly for
Calvin Coolidge. The La Toilette
boom has no footing here it is assert
ed and the majority of voters will
support the candidates of the two old
parties.
Mr.. Drendel stated that as chair
man of the Republican county central
committee, he had not been informed
whether or not any speakers would be
sent to this section during the pres
ent campaign, but felt certain that at
least one campaign speaker would Wis
it this Valley between now and the
4th of November, the date of the gen.
eral election.
