STORY Is DENIED.
Report Of Hampden Mans Death by
Drinking Wood Alcohol
DiScreditcd.

Hampden Reporter: Last Satur-
days Fargo Forum and the Evening
Times of Grand Forks, under the
headline, Sensation at Hampden,"
published what was purported to be
a true account concerning the death
of James McGrath which. occurred at
this place on April Is, but instead of
being the truth it only proved to be
the idle vaporngs of a badly disor-
dered brain ca, the possessor of
which is Otto Evans, who has been
manager of the Duluth elevator here.
In the above mentioned article Evans
states that McGrath died from drink
ing wood alcohol purchased at one of
the local drug stores and that he also
was made violently i'll from partaking
OF the same bottle. He further states
that several citizens demanded a post
norton examination of McGrath's
body, but that this was denied Evans
also made several disparaging state
ments about our drug stores which he
would find much difficulty in produc-
ing the proof for, as both the local
drug stores are run in strictly first
class manner and the law is duly OBJ
served by them.
To get down to the point we would
like TO inform the public as to what
kind OF being this man Evans is who
finds it such a pleasant pastime to fur
nish the daily papers with sensation
al" news. In the first place we have
no personal knowledge of him ever
drawing sober breath while in Hamp-
den, with one exception, and for three
whole days before he even bought the
bottle of wood" alcohol which he al
leges was sold him without being
asked to go through the formality of
signing for same, he lay down in the
elevator office dead drunk and almost
was able to shake hands with the D.
It's. His body was literally saturat-
ed with booze which he brought back
with him after being out of town for
a few days, and it is a question often
commented on how he held his job
with the company. Regarding Nc
Grath's death, Evans was the only
man that asked for post mortem ex-
animation and he was drunk at the
time; in fact it was suggested by some
that he be examined as to his sanity
We understand his confinement in the
hospital at Grand Forks is due to the
fact he is taking the Kelley cure.
We do not like taking up so much
space concerning this matter, but we
feel that the morals of our citizens
and of the town must be protected
from the attacks of such people as
Evans, who try to stir up a sensa-
ton in place.
