The Coming State Fair.

ne coming otdte TdiT'
The Wisconsin state fair, to be held
at Milwaukee from Monday, Septem-
Der 10, to Friday, September IA, will
be the greatest fair ever held in the
state To illustrate the rapid strides
taken by the Wisconsin fair during
the past four years nothing can be
more convincing than a comparison OF
the amounts offered for premium
awards and for races. A few years
ago $4,000 was considered great
sum Of money to be distributed as
premiums for various exhibits. This
year the sum of $4,000 is offered for
before contemplated for state fair.
Only few years ago races for $500
purses were considered leading events.
This year there will be two races for
purses Of $4,000 each, three for $4,000
each and many others for smaller
amounts. Altogether 100000 will be
paid for racing events. Figures like
these tell story of progress and
show plainly the leading position Wis
consii has taken with it's state fair.
Such inducements, together with the
splendid programme of specially
events provided by the board Of man
ayers will attract an unusually large
attendance at this years fair. Each

DEATHUMvE|LS
HIS SECRET

The burglar who was shot by H.
M. Hood of the merchants patrol
died last night and Detective Stauf-
fer was thus released from his
pledge made the dying man to keep
his identity secret until death
came. The burglar was w. 1.
Creelman, heir Of the wealthy
Creelman family of San Francisco
and Los Angeles, and brother of
Robert Creelman, known locally as
race horse man and promoter of
prize fights.
Robert Creelman is particularly
we'll know in the west as owner
of stable Of race horses and was
in Spokane last year at the inter-
state fairgrounds. Since he left
here he has become owner of a
large string of horses now racing
at Seattle.
w. I. Creelman, the dead burg
lar, has been a Northern Pacific
detective. He bears little resem-
blance to his brother, excepting in
the forehead, and is light instead
OF dark and curly. He was shot
while robbing Edwards Install
ment house at SIS Bernard street.
Creelman's dying hours were
spent in calling for morphine to
deaden his pain. John Sullivan,
sergeant of police, this morning
stated that he knew Creelman was
an opium fiend.
An inquest will be held after 4
CLOCK this afternoon at the under
taking parlors of Smith & Co.,
where the body was removed from
the hospital. Regarding this mat
ter Coroner Witter today said:
Hood, the man who did the
shooting, wants exoneration by a
coroner's Jury and there are other
things to be attended to. Conse-
quently l have decided upon an in
quest"
In his dying statement to Ser
geant Sullivan and Detective Stauf.
fer. Creelman fully exonerated the
officer who shot him, by saying:
"He had right to shoot me, as
II he hadn't been so close to the
door when | dropped and had been
standing far enough away for me
to take a shot, his life would have
been the payment instead of mine. Z"
An investigation as to the course
of the three bullet wounds showed
that those in each of the legs
passed through the feshy parts
above the knee and the wound in
the abdomen had entered from the
