The Redbud City: Sheriff Evans saga continues

The Redbud City: Sheriff Evans saga continues

EVANS IS SHERIFF AS LYON BOND CANCELLED
The same two stage hands that rang up the curtain on Pottawatomie County’s political comedy-melodrama, wrote “finis” to the exciting episode on Saturday morning, May 1, 1937. Rufus Lyon’s $10,000 surety bond was cancelled and that left Sheriff Elza Evans as the sole claimant to the little suite of offices in the northwest corner of the courthouse basement.
Commissioners Frank Sims, and Elmer Rawlings met in adjournment session about 9 A.M., with Chairman John Gentry absent. Lyon’s bond was cancelled on Sims’ motion and Rawlings’ second. The county clerk was ordered to return the bond to the Hartford Accident and Assurance Company in Connecticut.

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.
