DANGEROUS CHEAP LIQUOR.
Great Deal of II Has Been Shipped
Into State-Said TO Be Respon-
sible for the Death OF Five Persons
in Harrison Mail Order Business.

From Clarion Ledger. JAN. III
During the recent holiday season an
astonishingly large amount OF very
cheap whisky was shipped into Mis-
sissippi from adjoining states, and
some of the bad effect of its use are
becoming apparent.
The sudden and mysterious death
OF five persons In the northern part OF
Harrison county within a period OF
two days Is now ascribed to the use
of cheap and poisonous whisky. 1t
is an unquestioned fact that some of
the mail order wholesalers have been
furnishing their Mississippi custo-
mers with very fierce brands of
liquor. especially the kinds sold at an
exceedingly low price, and which is
often extensively advertised in h
country press.
Many users of whisky have been
sending their orders to hitherto m
known liquor house in Kentucky. In
diana, Ohio and other states. being
induced to do SO by the yerv fiatter-
ing advertising offers and the thous-
ands of circulars sent through the
mail.

Joseph Till convicted in Pembina
county of the murder of his cousin,
Adam Miller, and sentenced to life
imprisonment, has served 10 years. mis-
application for pardon being refused
several times.
His conviction was entirely on cir
cumstantial evidence. In a recent let
ter he makes public appeal for ex-
ecutive clemency, saying:
Il was sent up from Pembina
county on July 19, 1905, On a charge
of murder. for life. 1 am an innocent
man of this crime, but 1 am not CEN
serious of the people of Pembina
county, as I surely do appreciate the
Kindness which they have shown me.
When several years ago w. J. Knee

plication to Governor Fancher for my
pardon, 10 of the jurors who con-
'iStSN iiiS olSICu IIIS pelll1Oil. Every
one VINO followed my case believed me
an innocent man, and l am absolutely

IF my case had been given to the
jury in its proper light 1 would have
been acquitted. 1 had been in the
United States only eight days when 1
was arrested for another persons
crime, and not being able to under
stand or speak the English language.
l never got justice.
Friends and citizens of Pembina
county. I think I should have justice
meted out to me. God alone knows
how 1 have suffered this long 10
years. l am now able to speak Eng
lisn and write it fair now, and 1 have
a good trade but I cannot use 1t. I
have dear old mother who has been
bedridden ever since my arrest, wor-
rying day and night over me, and an
invalid brother who needs my help
to get through this world only
ask in the name of God, the Father
Almighty, who mas sent me good
many friends, whom I mad never seen.
but God saw them in my behalf, as
have been praying for friends and
my prayers have been answered. I
ask the people of Pembina county to
encourage me with a petition to the
governor and the board of pardons to
pardon me or give me a new trial.
for l can bring into court three wit

Attractions at Spokane Fair.

Big attractions have been secured by
the Spokane Interstate fair which
opens October 9, both for the open air
free performances in front of the grand
stand and for the midway One COM
pany alone brings full carnival of Is
SHOWS for the midway and there will
be numerous others.
But the biggest entertainment feat
ure of the fair will be a leap the gap
act which will be given in front of the
grand stand eacn afternoon and each
evening. This is the most daredevil
act of all the foolhardy tricks which
ever have been given at circuses and
carnivalS. The rider comes down a
long incline On bicycle and jumps a
wide gap, landing on another track
only three feet wide. The whole ap-
paratus is high in the air and if he
misses his landing ne will be crippled,
if not dashed to death. At night he
rides through a sea of flame.
Barnum & Bailey's circus had a
man doing this act, but he was crippled
for life at Missoula, just before the
circus reached Spokane. Nat Reiss of
the Southern Carnival company has
had seven men hurt while doing this
turn this summer. The Spokane Inter-
state fair has secured a man who will
do the act if he is not killed or injured
before the opening of the Spokane ex-
position.
