Harmon, chief state proba tion officer, was appointed warden of the Nebraska state penitentiary Tuesday by the state board of con trol. Harmon, who has been probation officer since 1921, will take over his new duties in a few days.

Fenton in 1921 to become secretary of the state pardon board, and Dan Kavanaugh was promoted to deputy. The new warden first became con nected with the penitentiary March 13, 1912, the day before the famous Shorty Grey outbreak, which event ually resulted in Fenton's appoint ment as warden. In 1912, Harmon went to the prison as chaplain. He formerly was a minister in the Dis ciples of Christ church. Harmon was born in Auburn 58 years ago. The pardon board, meeting immed iately after the announcement of Harmon's appointment, selected Jo seph O'Grady of Dawson to succeed Harmon as secretary of the board. The warden receives $2,500 a year, is given the use of a residence near Ihe prison and is furnished mainten ance for himself and family. northwest of Elmwood.
