HOLDS [AN ILLEGAL
County Judge in Alabama Issues.
Licenses for Saloons.
MOST OF THE STATE Is DRY

Fifty Counties Vote for Prohibition
and the Saloons Have Closed, but
Steps Will Be Taken to Test the
Matter in the Courts.
y Birmingham, Ala, jan -Declar-
Ing the prohibition laws, as far as
1908 are concerned, unconstitutional
the probate Judge Of Cullman county
issued nine saloon licenses and the
liquor establishments will be re-
opened. The mayor is said to be pre-.
pairing to issue city licenses for sa.
looms in the city of Cullman. There
is no excitement beyond the fact that
the prohibitionists have called on the
governor to enforce the prohibition
laws. Cullman county voted on Dec.
9 for prohibition. The saloon mel
claim that the prohibition law is un
constitutional because it makes ex
ceptions of counties which voted on
the proposition prior to Dec. IL.
No test case has ben started in
Birmingham, though statements are
made that before twenty-four hours
a case will have been started looking
to the annulment OF the prohibition
laws for one year.
The probate judge of -Lowndes
county refused to issue licenses for
barrooms at Haynesville and Benton
and disrensary at Fort Deposit. AS
consequence application was made
for mandamus to enforce such action.
The case will be fought out through
all the courts. It is charged that the
law, though passed as a general act,
is local and was not properly adver-
tised. - ------

Small! Boy and Big Gun.

Grand Rapids Herald-Review W.:
Quite likely many parents are not
aware of the fact that a law of the
state makes it a misdemeanor to
allow a boy II years or under to
carry firearms, whether for target or
hunting, unless accompanied by his
parents or guardian.
This law is the outcome of MANY
frightful accidents, caused solely by
the pernicious custom of allowing
young boys to carry and use fire.
arms.
The penalty imposed upon a
parent for allowing boy to carry
firearms is quite severe, fine of not
more than 500 being imposed, or a
corresponding term in the county
jail. In extreme cases the judges
may sentence parent to term in
Jail and a fine of 500 in addition.
The county attorneys in many sec
tons of the state are making
especial efforts to strictly enforce
the law. We noticed the other day
that the prosecuting attorney Of
Duluth is vigorously enforcing the
law, and announces that he is going
to keep it up.

Prohibition in Effect in Greater Part
Of Alabama.
Birmingham, Ala, Jan. with the
shrill shrieks of the hundreds of whis-
ties of Industrial Birmingham announc-
Ing the advent of the new year every
saloon in the city closed it's doors sine
die. It was the time set for prohibi-
ton to go into effect in those counties
of Alabama in which local option cleo,
tons have been held during the year.
When the result of the election in
Crenshaw county became known and
it was added to the prohibition ranks
there were exactly fifty counties of the
state which closed the doors of the sa-
looms permanently. This leaves seven
teen counties in the state in which
liquor can be sold for another year.
One year from now the entire state
becomes prohibition by statutory act
OF the wet counties for the next
year only four are exclusively saloon
counties, Mobile, Montgomery, Dallas
and Baldwin. There are twelve exclu-
sive dispensary counties.
Jefferson county, in which Birming-
ham is located, Is by far the largest
county in the state and in Birming-
ham alone 120 saloons went out of
business. A remarkable feature of the
last day under the liquor regime is the
fact that there was less drunkenness
noted than. for many months.

HAS APPEALED
CASE TO. SUPREME COURT
Continued from First Page

Continued from First Page
The body of Miss Aagot Dahl was
found on August 18th, 1904, four
months after her disappearance from
her claim. The bones were put into
Ia box and brought to Bemidji, and
were afterwards taken to Crookston
for interment. There was absolutely
no clue whatever as to the manner
in which Miss Dahl met her death,
and there appeared no possible
solution of the affair.
AS time passed the crime was
seldom alluded to, and was in fair
way to have been entirely forgotten.
On March 9th, 1905, Ca year
after the disappearance of the Dahls
from their claims), James Wesley
was arrested at Green Bay, Wiscon-
sin, where his parents were residing.
On September Goth of that year,
the grand jury returned an indict-
ment against James Wesley and Paul
Fourier, charging them with killing
the Dahls; and the indictments
were afterwards annulled.
On January 21st, 1907, County
Attorney Henry Funkley caused the
arrest of Paul Fourier and George
Cyr, charging them with the killing
of N. o. Dahl and his daughter,
Aagot.
James Wesley was also implicated
in the crime, according to the in
formation given the county attorney,
but his whereabouts were unknown.
Fourier was given a preliminary
hearing on February End and Justice
Skinvik held him to the grand jury,
the case against Cyr being dis
missed.
On March 23rd, the grand jury
returned an indictment againt Paul
Fourier charging him with murder
in the first degree killing N. O.
Dahl. ...-.
On February 9th, 1907, Shorty"
Wesley was arrested and broug ht
to Bemidji. The grand jury re-
turned an indictment against Wes-
ley for murder in the first degree,
on March 23rd, 1907.
Wesley was tried first, and after
a tedious trial of two weeks, the
jury found him guilty of murder
in the first degree. = T..
Fournier's trial followed immedi-
ately after Wes:ey's. A strong fight
was made to save Fourier, but
the jury also brought in a verdict
OF guilty against Fourier.
A few days after the trials, Judge
Spooner sentenced both Wesley and
Fournier to imprisonment for life
IN the state penitentiary at Still
water.
County Attorney Henry Funkley
prosecuted Wesley aud Fournier and
{. W. Scrutchin of this city and
John A. Martin of Virginia defended
the men. II

medical men by announcing to a
representative body of physicians at
the New York Academy of Medicine
that he had discovered an absolute
cure for 'locomotor ataxia.' DR..
Denslow read a paper describing the
results of his ten years study of the
disease and cited 80 cases in all of
which a successful cure had been
effected.
DR.. Denslow's claims were Endorsed
by DIR. John A. Wyeth and other
prominent physicians. DR.. R.. H. Cum
nfngham, chief of clinic on nervous
diseases at the school of physicians
and surgeons in Columbia university,
discussed DR.. Denslow,s paper and
