HOSPITAL ROOM IS THE SCENE OF OFFICIAL’S SELECTION
A political thunderbolt rumbled across Pottawatomie County, as it flashed from a tiny room on the third floor of the A.C. H. Hospital on the afternoon of February 23, 1936. The county commissioners surprised many by naming Elza Evans, former Maud police chief, to succeed the late Walter Mosier as county sheriff.
Evans, 43, was a native Maud resident, who made a run for the nomination of sheriff in 1936. He appeared to be one of the favorites but faded late in the campaign.
