HUNTERS TELL QUEER YARN

Escapes Them.

Did you ever tramp = around the
mountains for a week and not get
within sight Of any game at all? 1t
is claimed that two local sportsmen
have just returned to the city tagged
with such an experience. At least
when the evidence is all in it looks
that way. The names Of the sports
men are B. F. Cation and George
Malcolm. They were accompanied on
their trip by G. F. Cation Of Constan-
tine, Mich. In spite of all stories to
the contrary both the local men
stoutly maintain that the party man.
aged to secure a bear and two deer.
The slaughter occurred in a very wild
locality, close to deep, narrow ra-
vine. When shot the game toppled ov-
er into this practically bottomless
gully. From away up on top of the
gulch they could see the dead deer,
also the bear make his dying kicks,
but it was impossible for them to reacb
the spoils so that they could pack
tnem to the city. The Evening State
man does not ask anyone to believe the
story put up by Mr.. Malcolm and Mr..
Cation. That, perhaps, would be ask
ing too much. 1t simply prints their
side of the story so that justice will
be done to all concerned.

MULLIN AFTER PARKER
Posts 500 for Match With the Den
YER LIGHTWEIGHT at 1876 Pounds.

YER Lightweight at ioS Vo""s'
Barney Mullin threw a surprise
bomb into the lightweight class yes
terday by posting 500 for a forfeit
for a side bet of $500 to meet Kid
Parker, says the Spokane Chronicle.
Mullin states that Parker will not
make 1875 pounds at the ringside for
Kid Scaler, but agreed to make that
weight at p. m. the day of the bat
tie and that all he (Mullin) wants
is to take Parker at his own require
ments.
Mullin posted 500 to snow his good
intentions and says he wants to
meet the Denver boy. Parker said
yesterday he did not believe Muliin
would draw a very large house, but he
might take him on, if side bet were
made. So it looks as though the
two men might come together.

Judge Warren of the Lincoln coun-

George J. Dahl, an agent for the Sim

court held that to compel company or
corporation to take out license in
each county in the state would impose
on them a tax of $7400, and would
practically bar them from business In
this state, thus depriving them of their
liberty as citizens Of the republic.
Practically the same decision was
rendered in Justice Suckers court

CONVICT AT PENITENTlARY
PROVES HE is VERY MUCH
WRONGED MAN.
Mistaken for Fugitive From Justice
and Sent to Prison on Charge Of
Robbery.

On the application of six of the
trial jurors, the prosecuting attorney
of Pierce county and a number OF
leading citizens of Tacoma, Cover
nor Meade mas granted a full par
don to James Haley, a convict serv-
ing a 12-year sentence for robbery
The pardon is expected to arrive al
the prison some time today and Haley
will be Immediately given his lib
erty.
The application for Ha1ey's pardon
was heard a few days ago by Gov
ernor Mead at Olympia. At the con-
clusion of the hearing the governor
expressed the belief that Haley is a
very much wronged man and that the
sentence he received was too Sc
we're. In granting the pardon Gov
ernor Mead said:
Victim of Circumstances.
1T appeared at the meeting before
that on June Is, 1902, William Fack-
Ter, then chief of police of Tacoma
in plain clothes, drew a revolver on
Haley and attempted TO arrest him
in the city of Tacoma that Fackler
did so believing that Haley was a
fugitive from justice; that Haley re-
sisted, and in the struggle took Fack-
ler's revolver from him; that there is
a dispute in the evidence as to wheth-
er Fackler told Haley he was an
officer; that on Packers being dis
armed, Fackler called and received
help, overpowered Haley and took him
to. Jail; that it subsequently appeared
that Haley was not a fugitive from
justice, that at the time of the ar
rest no charge stood against him, and
that he was a respectable citizen; that
these facts not being then known;
Haley was vigorously prosecuted for
robbery in taking Packers revolver
from him, and, on conviction, the
court, in the belief that Haley was a
DESPERATE criminal, gave him the
heavy sentence of II years. I am
quite certain that Haley is innocent OF
the crime of robbery"
Haleys story is that he left his
home in the east several years ago
and ran away to sea, embarking on
a sailing vessel. His parents did not
know where he was until they learn
ed that he was serving a sentence
in the Walla Walla penitentiary. Mrs
Haley, omther of the boy, came west
to Tacoma several weeks ago and
interested several officials in securing
a pardon for her son. 1t was shown
that the young man was not a fugi-
tive from justice and was the victim
of some very unusual circumstances
AS soon as he is released Haley will
Join his mother and accompany her
east to their old home. Haley has
been a model prisoner since being re-
ceived at the penitentiary in 1902.

A Boy Who Will Succeed.
(Rocky Mount Record.)


Some time ago we ran an article
about girl attending school for nine
years, not missing a single day or be-
ing tardy at any time. Prof. Boyle
informs us that Whitfield Clary, OF
this place, has been going to school
at the graded school four years, ever
since it has been in existence, and
one year at the private school which
Prof. Boyle ran before the establish.
ment of the graded school, and that
he has not missed a single day or has
he been tardy during those live years
This is a remarkable record, especially
so for boy. To show his determine
ton, the little fellow, though having
the humps. would not be deferred
from standing his examinations at the
recent closing of the school. As he
could not go with the other children
Prof. Boyle allowed him to stand the
examinations in his private Office.

the nation is coming to look with
more thoughtful eyes upon the Fourth
Of July. Almost it seems to have been
day when inspiration descended
from on high. 1t brings annually re-
newed confidence; annually, also IL
carries reminder to the heart of the
nation that it's results are more in the
nature of opportunity than Things
wrought with the hand and brain of
men. Back of the declaration of IN
dependence, it's shadowy outlines
growing always more distinct, its
shadow lengthening and darkenins
across the world, seems to Turk the
giant Destiny that sent it forth. And
destiny, even in the hands of ma
ton with the young strength and the
full courage of bull of the hills, is a
dangerous If magnificent equipment.
The day itself has been linked with
he progress of the nation in a way
strange, almost uncanny. 1t has
marked the great epochs of progress
and of change. 1t has been the day
Of battles. 1t has been the day or
stress. 1t is inseparable from thoughts
of Gettysburg, of San Juan, of Santiago
South. 1t was the product of her sons
Its meaning was declared, its purpose
accomplished by her troops. 1t has
been glorified by her blood, made liN

victories and her defeats. In North
Carolina the goth day of May produc-
ed practically the same declaration Dy
the men of Mecklenburg as that which
fourteen months later Jefferson and
the signers spoke for the nation. The
South can celebrate it with clear
conscience and with a deep enthus-
iasm.

BERNARD NOT A MEMBER OF
THE BAR ASSOCIATION.

A few days ago The News and OBJ
server printed the following editorial
| comment:
when the State Bar Association
meets at ToXaway next week it should
do a job of unfrocking of unprofes-
sional scoundrels. No white ashing!"
The Salisbury Evening Post says It
''concurs heartily" in the suggestion,
and adds:
Good! A most honorable profess
sion is suffering for the transgres-
sions of a few shysters. Ninety nine
per cent of the lawyers of North Caro-
lima are representatives of our best
citizenship. The one per cent remain
ing to make the unit are a stencil in
the noStrilS of decent people, The
State Bar Association can well afford
to put aside all other business and de-
vote it's entire session TO the elimina-
ton of the professional coyotes"
A prominent member of the State
Bar Association sends the following
note. which we are glad to publish be-
low:

this date: When the State Bar Asso-
citation meets at Toxaway next week it

MORNING TONIC.
William Jennings Bryan.)

There is need today of a reViVai
of Jeffersonian principles. he was
not an enemy of honestly acquired
wealth, but he believed that the gov
eminent had no right to exaggerate
by favoritsim the differences between
individuals. He believed that all
should stand equal before the law
and that every department of gov
eminent, executive, legislative and Ju-
dicial, should recognize and protect the
rights of the humblest citizen as care
fully as it would the rights of the
greatest and most influential.
Jefferson's principles, applied to
the problems of the twentieth century
would restore the republic to It's old
foundations and make it the supreme
moral factor in the worlds progress.
The application of his principles today
would restore Industrial independence
and annihilate trusts. The application
Of his principles today would drive
the money changers out of the temple,
insure to the people a stable currency
and harmonic labor and capital by
compelling justice to both.
