CHENT POLICEMAN
dies OF INJURIES
INSHOOTINCFRAY
Thugs, One Wounded, Sought
in Vicinity; Surprised
RObbing Garage

Ghent-Funeral services were
held Tuesday morning for Arnold
Borson, Ghent policeman, who
died at Rochester hospital from
injuries received Tuesday morn
ing of last week when he was shot
by burglar at the Ed Dierick
garage in Ghent. Two burglars
entered the garage at 2:30 a. m,
both of whom escaped, although
one was believed to be critically
wounded.
Ed Dierick, owner of the gar
age, was awakened by the alarm
which was connected to his home
not far from the garage. He reused
the Ghent marshal and several
other men and together the group
went to the garage. Flashing a
flashlight into the office they
could see the burglars at work.
Becoming frightened the burg
lars leaped through a window. One
ran down the street and another
into a blind alley. The one who
turned up the alley was soon corn
cred, but succeeded in pulling a
gun, with which he shot Borson
in the neck. Borson had been
covering the burglar alone, while
the other men went to search the
office. After firing the shot, the
culprit made his getaway.
A trail of blood along the street
indicated that his companion had
been shot, but both succeeded IN
evading capture. A posse was
formed at once to cover the sur
rounding territory, but it was be-
Ieved the pair escaped in an auto

Don't PlOw Up New
Seeding Too Hastily

New seedlings of grasses and
legumes should not be plowed up
because the tops look
dead, says a statement from Uni
versity Farm. Many seedlings that
appear to be hopeless1y ruined by
drouth will recover if allowed to
stand until rains come and the
plants have a chance to start up
again.
At any rate nothing is to be
gained by plowing up such fields
now, since no other crop planted
would germinate and grow until
there is more moisture. Before de-
Gliding to plow, the farmer should
dig up several plants in different
locations in the field and carefully
examine the crown and roots. The
crowns produce new buds and so
if the crowns and roots are found
alive, the plants may be depended
upon to grow provided rain comes
before these parts are dried out.

WYMAN CORBETT
ONLY GOPHER ON
IOWA GRID SQUAD

Another Redwood Falls boy is
making good on the gridiron, ac-
cording to Ossie Solem, football
coach at the University of Iowa.
Wyman Corbett, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Joseph NJ Corbett, will be-
gin his second year at the institu-
ton in September with prospects
bright for a regular position as
blocking half on Iowa's varsity
eleven.
Solem named Corbett as one OF
four sophomores who have a
chance at the position and espec-
tally commended Corbett's block
ing ability because of which he
was shifted to halfback from the
fullback position he played on the
freshman squad.
Corbett came home for a short
vacation following the university
summer session, bringing three
numeral awards. Besides football
he played freshman basketball and
baseball regularly. He is the only
Minnesota candidate for Iowa's
grid team.

new GOVERNOR
RATED AUTHORITY
ON TAX MATTERS
Hjalmer Petersen Received
Early Schooling in Lin
coin County

Minnesota's new governor, HAL
mer Petersen, is less than two
years older than was Governor
Floyd B. Olson. He is 46, a native
of Denmark, country editor and
an aggressive leader who has risen
rapidly to prominence in the state.
Petersen is rated as an author
ity on taxes and it is on his tax
work that he has climbed to fame.
Becoming a member of the Iegis-
lature from Pine county in the
1881 session, he concentrated on
issues before the house tax COM
mittee. Then, in 1888 he got his
big opportunity when Farmer
Laborites managed to enlist
enough liberal support to give
them control of the house, and
they organized it. Petersen be-
came chairman of the tax COM
mittee.
There has been an attempt for
a couple of years to enact state
income tax. The fall before the
voters had rejected an income tax
amendment, but the legislature
decided to proceed with enact
ment of a tax bill regardless. In
Petersen's committee the job was
done; expert aid from the univer-
sity and from the tax commits
sion was called in, and a bill draft
ed.
Its passage gave Petersen wide
attention The committee pushed
through to action other bills also,
such as the chain store tax bill.
From that time on Petersen de-
voted his energies to tax matters,
and attracted such attention that
he became the party's nominee
for lieutenant governor in 1894.
He has held that position since
January, 1885, and by right of
succession moves into the COVER
nor's chair.
Even when he was elected many
Farmer-Laborites viewed the Pet
ersen advance as leading to the
governorship and his excellent
vote in 1894 led him to eye that

Four Redwood Falls boys will

they meet Marshall at the fair

Thugs Blow Safe
At Revere Elevator

In what appeared to be a prac-
ticed and professional job, the
bolt of the vault of the Farmer S
Elevator company at Revere was
blown off with glycerin Tuesday
night. AS no money is ever left
in the place, the attempt at rob-
berry was futile.
The thieves entered the build
ing by breaking basement win
dow and reached the office by
way of the cellar stairway.
Sheriff L. j Kise is working on
the case, the second break-in at
the elevator within a year.

office as the next step in his car
eer. Then, early in the year, Sen
ator Thomas D. Schau died, and
it fell to Governor Olson to name
his successor. And at that point
began the break which created a
split in the party-a split likely
to have many repercussions.
Governor Olson chose Elmer A.
Benson, his banking commissioner
as SchalPs successor. Benson, it
was generally known, was the
choice of party leaders, including
Olson, to become the party's can
didate for governor The appoint
ment gave Benson a build up of
nationwide attention. But it irked
Petersen, who also had eyes on
the governors office.
Despite the program of the party
leaders, Petersen proceeded with
his plans to seek the governor
ship, and waged an active cam
paign to win the endorsement OF
the Farmer-Labor convention. He
spoke about the state, assailing the
men he called 'sthe Mexican gen.
|erals"-state officials and leaders
who were active in party councils
and in Benson plans. But at the
state convention Petersen was de-
feated though he told friends that
he had been promised that two
men would be indorsed so a prim-
ary contest could result.
In the end, Petersen yielded
gracefully to the force of the Ben
son organization, and in exchange
was chosen as the party candi-
date for railroad and warehouse
commissioner. He wasn't too well
pleased, however, and since Gov
ernor Olson's illness took turn
for the worse, has been working
toward a change in the llineuI
which would permit him to be-
come the governor candidate.
The new governor has a vigor-
Gus pen, as his editorials in his
paper, The Askov American, have
shown. He has written profusely
on tax matters, and has not spar
ed party associates when he has
differed with them. He has beer
owner and editor of the Askov
American since 1914 when he
founded the paper in a town OF
400.
Born in Denmark, he came tc
Minnesota as a boy, getting his
schooling In Lincoln county. He
was married in 1914, and his wife
died in 1880. Two years ago, h
the middle of his campaign he
married again, Medora Grandprey
lof Owatonna becoming his bride
He has daughter by his first wife

Donovan Is Denied Freedom,
DESPITE Parole Officials Aid

Efforts by attorneys for James r.

from prison on a writ of habeas corpus
failed in District Court today. when
Chief Justice Alfred A. Wheat ruled
he was without jurisdiction to review
the action of the Parole Board In
Donovan's case.
High light Of the hearing was testi-
nony by Wilbur La Roe, Parole Board
chairman, who testified that Donovan
broke his parole through no fault Of
his own and was arrested and incar-
cerated because the board had no
suitable place to put him.
Sentenced to 10 years in prison for
robbery, Donovan was paroled No

more than two years. One of the
conditions of his parole was that he

Realizing that If he failed to leave
he would be in serious danger, and
that If he fled he would violate his

his parole officer. who removed him

was rearrested and returned to WASH

LaRoe explained that the board
considered the prisoner man Of such
q type it would be unwise to permit
him liberty tn city. Since the board
had no other secluded farm on which
to place him, it thought best to return
him to prison. LaRoe asserted.
Assistant United States Attorney
Allen Krouse argued that Donovan
had been given . hearing on his re-
turn here, and that the court was
without jurisdiction to challenge the
discretion of the board. He also con-
tended that to release him on a writ
of habeas corpus would place him
in q better position than he had been
before his rearrest, since at that time
he was still under jurisdiction Of au-
thorities.
After the hearing, Donovar's st-
torneys said they would appeal Chief
