The Maine Fairs.

In another month the Maine fairs
will be under way. The big ones will
all give their annual shows and there
are number more of town and
Grange fairs to give shows this year
than there have ever been before The
continued drought of early summer
will likely result in smaller fruit and
crop exhibits at the fairs than in
previous years, although there VIII an
doubtedly be many of excellent quail
ity
The fair managers and secretaries
are already busy arranging their pro-
grams and seeking to secure attrac-
tions that will please their patrons. At
a number of the fairs balloons are
likely TO be replaced by flying ma
chimes and practical aviation exhibits
given. All of the fairs seem TO want a
Governors day. and the present Ex-
ecutive, like his predecessors. is likely
to find more of this sort of business on
his hands than he can attend to.
Last, but by no means least. the
horses will be there and indications
point to one of the best racing seasons
on the Maine circuit The horses are
beginning to work out earlier than be-
fore and the big racing meet at Au-
gusta, just before the opening of the
fairs. will give them a chance to show
what they are likely TO do later.

Cashier Issues Statement
Concerning Facts
in the Case.
Letter Addressed to Jurors Was
Nothing but Advertising Feature
for Citizens State Bank--His Ac-
tion Misunderstood by Judge.

On the afternoon of June 10Th
was requested to appear before
Judge Pearson at his court III
Roundup, Mont. and there in open
court received severe reprimand
for an alleged breach Of court pro-
prlety, and a criminal attempt to
unlawfully bias the minds of jurors.
The Judge had reference to a cer-
tain letter which addressed to
each OUT OF TOWN JUROR and
which letter was dated June 14th,
the day the jurors assembled at
Roundup. The Judge alleges that
these letters were directed to the
jurors because of an interest the
Citizens State Bank had in two Of
the cases ON the calendar and that
It was an attempt on the part Of
the bank to influence these Jurors
in favor Of the bank.
In view OF these accusations |
feel it my duty to state precisely
the facts surrounding the incident.
In the columns OF one of the local
papers issued two weeks ago | saw
the list OF jurors drawn. 1t occurred
to me that during their stay in
Roundup these gentlemen would be
called upon to use the services OF a
bank in one or more Of the many
ways a transient visitor has occasion
to use bank, especially when visi-
ting his county seat and proceeded
to address each one of the
OUT OF TOWN JURORS ONLY,
