RANDOLPH — F. J. Peitz of Hartington won the democratic nomination for candidate for sheriff of Cedar county in the coming fall election at the primaries Tuesday, defeating Doug Bernard of Randolph 811-493, in the only county race of much interest in this section.
The primary vote was light in Cedar county and was also light throughout the state.
Men died in Korea Tuesday to defend Americans’ right to the ballot, but people at home stayed away from the polls by droves, some because they didn’t know there was a primary and others because of indifference.
Randolph gave Bernard a huge majority, 77-10, but the northern end of the county and Hartington, Peitz’ home town, gave him the big plurality.
Max W. Goetz of Hartington was an easy winner over Gordon C. Gobel, Hartington for democratic candidate for county attorney and J. W. Becker won the democratic nomination for county assessor.

RANDOLPH — Fire of unknown origin completely leveled a large barn on the Clarence Krueger farm two miles south of the junction of the McLean road and Highway 81, on Tuesday afternoon.
The Randolph fire department answered the call, but the flames had made so much headway by the time of their arrival that the structure could not be saved.
There was no wind on Tuesday and this greatly aided the firemen in keeping the fire limited to the one building.
Destroyed in the fire were about 500 bushels of oats and some hay. Mrs. Krueger succeeded in getting a sow and litter of pigs from the barn after the blaze broke out.
