DILLINGER PAL,
RELIEF WORKER,
KILLED BY TRAIN
Edward Singleton Aided
In His First Crime

MOOREsv1LLE, Ind, Sept. 2
(C.TP.S0.-Death has reunited
John Dillinger and Edward Single
ton, companions in a crime that
took place 10 years ago.
Singleton, As year old WPA
worker, was crushed to death be-
meath Pennsylvania freight train
here.
The world knows the history Of
Dillinger, how he left Indiana
State prison as parolee with a
bitterness toward society that
guided him in the sensational
months that we're to follow before
he fell in a Chicago alley, his
body ripped by bullets Of law en-
forcement officers.
MET DILLINGER
But the world had just about
lost sight Of Singleton, who ap-
peared to haze been a dominant
feature in the life of the man who
was to become public enemy No. !.
Singleton was sitting on the
railroad track with his lunch-box
beside him when the train bore
down on him and crushed him to
death. The crew was not aware
Of the accident and the train did
not stop.
One night, when young Dillinger
was still dusty from the dirt of his
fathers farm, he met Singleton, a
man with criminal record. They
planned and carried out a grocery
holdup at nearby MooreSville. But
the victim, B. F. Morgan, recog-
niZed Dillinger and shortly there
after the two robbers were caught.
Both had been drinking.
Dillinger pleaded guilty and re-
ceived a sentence Of 10 to Is years
at the State reformatory. Single
ton, wiser in the ways Of the crimi-
nal, pleaded guilty and obtained a
change of venue to another county.
where he was sentenced to 2 to
IA years.
WINS RELEASE
Then Singleton was released
after serving only two years Of his
sentence, whereas Dillinger re-
manned behind prison bars eight
years, absorbing underworld phi
losophy and making friends at
State prison, to which he was
transferred, who later were to be
his pals in a nationwide sweep Of
crime.
Singleton had been employed
near here in highway work with
the relief organization. He is sur
vived by his parents, the widow,
three children and one grandchild.

66I AM the loneliest man in
America" These words
dropped from the lips of
Abraham Lincoln one evening in
1868, that period which was so
dark and unpromising for the cause
of the Union.
In March, 1868, writes w. H.
Smith in the Washington Post, I
heard the incident related to a
small group of distinguished men
by Bishop Ames of the Methodist
church. do not know if it has
ever appeared in print, but if it
has, it is worth retelling. The mar
ration took place in the National
Hotel, in Washington, in suite of
rooms then occupied by John Evans,
territorial governor of Colorado,
and father of Evanston, Chicago's
beautiful suburb. My presence is
accounted for by the fact that Gov
ernor Evans was a relative and
had called to pay my respects.
In the group were two or three
Methodist bishops, a member of the
senate and two OF the house. / am
sure no one who heard it related
ever forgot it, or the impressive
manner of the bishop. President
Lincoln and the bishop were warm
personal friends, and the President
had employed the bishop on some
delicate mission connected with the
war. The bishop said that one eve
ming in June, 1868, he went to the
White House to call on the Presi-
dent. The President was in a very
respondent mood. Hooker had Just
suffered his defeat at Chancellors-
vile. The conversation lasted until
a late hour of the night.
The President reviewed the stu
alton at length. The war had been
going on for two years, and the
North had made little material
progress. The bishop asked if he
despaired of a final victory. His
response was made with great ear

Legislative News
BY c. G. MANN,
Representative from Pine County

The old legislative hopper is grind
ing out measures rapidly now. most
of them important amendments to old
laws and local bills, or in otf er words,
pertaining to only one county. BY un-
important l mean that they are not
largely controversial, but straighten
out mistakes in former laws passed.
Considerable discussion was created
by Harold L. Peterson's resolution a k
ing Congress to cut appropriations for
Mr.. Stockwell of Mime
apolis, said that any one who had Wis
tied a veterans hospital would vote
for this measure. Mr.. Severtson took
the opposite side, said he had spent
nearly two months in the front line
during the late war, and that he did
did not need to visit a hospital to
see men who would never again draw
breath in we'll body, but that his
tory had proved that only by ample
could peace be in
sured. Rollin johnson of Forest Lake,
also took the floor, as an eX-service
man, in opposition to the resolution,
saying that it would be much more
to the point to memorabilia Congress
to back the Universal Service Act
by the American Legion,
because this measure would take the
profit out of war and thus end war.
members voting for it under the as
sumption prevalent in legislatures
that Congress would do as it pleased
anyway. The first bill to pass both
houses of the Minnesota Legislature
and to be signed by the Governor in
the 1885 session was my resolution
asking Congress to fix minimum
prices on farm products, and what
good did it do.
A measure increasing the tax on
oleomargarine was passed Thursday,
almost unanimously. l received let
ter from the Cooperative Creamery
at Rock Creek, asking for my sup
port of this bill. If the board of the
Rock Creek creamery had known me
a little better, they would have known
that their urging was unnecessary.
as l always support any measure Of
this kind. We in the rural section,
and in fact the entire state, are en-
tirely dependent on the welfare of
farming, regardless of the profession
we follow.
This is the short week, the House
adjourning Thursday night until Mon
day. Although next Friday is legal
holiday, and therefore the legislature
cannot meet, the legislature will hold
committee meetings this day and dis
pose of considerable business, with
the regular session Saturday. Tax
bills, liquor control bills and many
very important measures are being
drawn, vamped and revamped in COM
mittees, and may be precipitating the
floor battles of the session very soon.

It was not a great victory, for the
forces engaged were not large, but
it was a beginning and showed the
mettle of Grant.
Back to Cairo, with larger force
he again and again urged for per-
mission to move, and when the
permission came he rushed his men
to the steamers, and three days lat
er he captured Fort Henry. Not
delaying an hour he pushed his
small force across the country to
Fort Donelson. He was not dis
mayed by the fact that the force in
the fort was larger than his own,
but Immediately locked the doors
on that force. When the rest of his
men reached him, by series Of
brilliant assaults, he captured, not
alone the fort, but an army almost
equal in number to his own.
At Shiloh, unlike any other gen.
eral, he remained to fight after his
disaster on the first day, he made
no effort to get the remains of his
army across the river, but at day.

attacking party, winning vic

and complaints of his delay were
many. Only that day two sena-

Recreation Room Delayed.

The Askov Commercial club met
Tuesday evening to discuss further
plans relative to the proposed Recrea-
ton Room under the WPA project.
The committee selected at the last
meeting reported that it had made
excellent progress with it's end of
the deal, namely that approximately
500 had been contributed by business
men for running expenses, arrange
ments had been made for the use of
the town hall, and suitable fixtures
arranged for. However. the whole
thing is held up pending action by
the WPA officials at Pine City or else
where. The project can not be started
until the WPA furnishes a skilled
supervisor which they promised at the
public meeting held here the middle
of January.

ASKOV
Festival Cancelled.

The Shrovetide festival scheduled
for Monday evening was cancelled on
account of the impossible roads.
Those in charge regret very much
that this became necessary, but the
amount of snow that piled up during
the weekend and on Sunday just made
it impossible to get around; an addi-
tional factor was that several of those
taking part in the program were i'll
with flu. Many special costumes and
fine scenery had been secured and
constructed so it is a disappointment
all around.
Inasmuch as neither weather nor
reads can be depended on at this time
the committee has Cancelled the en-
tertainment entirely for this year,
with anticipation for better luck in
1898.
