Heavy Exodus from
City for the Fourth

Notwithstanding the fact that thousands
OF people went out OF the city in auto
mobiles. passenger agents at the depOts
assert that the exodus to the country has
been IS per cent greater than on any pre-
Vious Fourth OF July. while the number
coming in has been less.
The travel out Is taken TO mean that
the city people have a desire to get into
the country for a couple OF days. and
Sunday following the holiday this year
IL gives them two days away from busi-
ness. The small number OF people COM
ing to the city Is said TO be accounted
for by the fact that most OF the towns
in this territory are holding celebrations.
and their patrons prefer remaining at
home instead OF travelling.
About 400 took the early special train
to Sioux City 10 witness the auto races.

Illinois Central railroad fall in stock
from 100 to 10, and a loss in divi-
dends from J per cent to 5 per cent
This means millions of dollars.
!. Person. defending his own life, killed
the chief strikebreaker of the Illinois
Central and the former chief of po-
lice of Clinton, Tony Musser.
). Musser, chief strikebreaker for the
illinois Central, waylaid and tried to
kill Person. Why2
). The man hunt is on. The cry for
Persons blood is in the air. They
want to try Person for his life in
Clinton.
7. The politics of Clinton is controlled
by the Illinois Central. The news
papers of Clinton get dollars from
the Illinois Central for advertising.
Lemon & Lemon. the Illinois Central
attorneys at Clinton, are powerful
political agents. Mayor Edmundson
of the town is on the pay roll Of the
illinois Central. Sheriff Armstrong;
son is an Illinois Central strikebreak-
er. The stores of Clinton depend
upon the $I5O,OO0 that the Illinois
Central pours into the town every
month. There is not single union
card in the big Illinois Central shops
at Clinton.
}. If Carl E. Person is put on trial in
Clinton, he is doomed.
}. The illinois Central wants to try Per-

!. Organized labors duty is to get tor
Person a fair trial-to give him one
chance for his life. He hasn't got 1t

}. There is only one way to do this.
Person must be tried in another coun-
ty.
!. To change the trial to another county,
the law requires that Person get afh-
davits from residents Of Dewitt
county, swearing to the prejudice
that exists in the county.
!. The states $ attorney will oppose the
change by getting affidavits tc the
effect that Person can get fair trial
in Dewitt county.
