Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 20, Number 102, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 1 September 1899 — The New Warden. [ARTICLE]

The New Warden.

On Tuesday the board of prison control met at Indianapolis and appointed a warden at the Michigan City State prison, to succeed Charles Harley, resigned. The man selected was George A. N. Shideler,of Marion. Mr. Shideler is a Republican in politics, but it was expressly stated to him that politics cut no figure in his appointment, and he expressly promised to manage the prison on a strictly non-partisan basis. There is every reason to believe that Mr. Shideler will make a good and carry on the difficult work of the management of the state prison, with the same ability and fidelities as has characterized Mr. Harleys wardenship. Mr. Shideler will take control on October 31st.
