MOONSHINER CAUGHT
REVENUE MEN RAID STILL IN
WOODS NEAR AMIGO.
Mash and Finished Product Is Found
When Officers Enter Abandoned
Lumber Camp.

Naturalization the first time in
northern Wisconsin moonshine plant
was carried out near Amigo by gov
eminent men when, under the leader
ship of Revenue Agent James O'Brien,
an exceedingly active still was sur
prised under cover of darkness and
William Coon, Kentuckian, acknowl-
edged leader of transplanted southern
ers, taken into custody.
The illicit still was in an abandoned
lumber camp, and from the evidences
of permanency, doubtless had been
operated for a considerable length of
time in what Coon considered COM
parative safety, being in wild section
and of difficult access. The raiding
party found fully $50 gallons of mash
and ten gallons of the finished prod
uct. Mr.. O'Brien estimated that in one
week the plant was capable of turning
out several hundred gallons of moon
shine whisky.
Coon was the only person at the
still, and he was so taken by surprise
that any attempt at resistance would
have been useless. None was offered.
After inspecting the place thoroughly,
the revenue men removed the worm of
the still and other parts sufficient to
be used as evidence, and removed their
man to Amigo, where he was locked
up.
Mr.. O'Brien declares that there are
other illicit stills operated by Ken
tuckians in the fastness of northern
Wisconsin, and that his department
will work night and day to eliminate
them. There have been false alarms
and empty handed raids from time to
time in the past few years, but moth
ing has been accomplished until now.
A fine as high as $500 and three
years Imprisonment may be inflicted
in a case such as Coon's

Lavender Repels Mosquitoes.

Noted in this evenings issue
formula for repelling mosquitoes. A
simpler and more effective repellent
is oil of lavender, sprayed through
an atomizer on parts exposed This
oil is more efficient than citronella,

other "straws" that "skeeter" victims
have clutched at. It has been found

TETIS0N DINNERS
RARRED THIS YEAR.
-,roAL IMPORTANT CHANGES
MADE IN GAME LAW BY
LEGISLATORS.
WINTERS ARE DISPLEAsED
...,.osrt Measures Were Found
Necessary to Prevent Fraudulent
Sale of Game-No More
Steak Dinners.

,,oa;son-Several changes not here
80 made plain, have been made In
WV, no,v game laws, the most import
srt of which probably is the serving OF
ON ~, meats According to the new law
w., W. n,oat of any deer, wild bird, or
ny. NV ether than lake trout, cannot be
NV, .,rod at any club, hotel, restaurant
or camp at any time, while other wild
u l;noI NAV be served only during the
open season.
Tho law is not looked upon with
favor BY a large number of deer hun
tore who 20 into the woods, and upon
tSoir return usually have large piece
of meat prepared at some club and In
,ite their friends for the feast.
The object of the law is to prevent
tbo fraudulent sale of game. There
boe been a law in force for several
wears covering this point, but many
hunters got around it by saying they
gave the meat away and at the same
time accepting money in an indirect
wav Now though, they cannot even
give II away without being liable.
The law as it now reads is as fol
lows: No keeper, manager, or stew
ard of any restaurant, club, hotel,
boarding house, logging camp, or min
;ro comn shall sell. barter, serve, or
give or cause to be sold, bartered,
served or given to guests or boarders
thereof. the meat of any deer, wild
bird, or trout of any variety other than
lake trout, at any time; or the meat
of any other wild animal during the

state fair park had been folded and the

expenses were totaled, and the exhibit

dren were admitted free while only
5000 children saw the display last
year. But the larger number bene-
flied from the displays. which is the
real object of the fair.
Indications are that the receipts will
fall a few hundred dollars short of last
years, but it was not possible to de-
termine the exact amount. The Mer-
chants and Manufacturers association
had not been heard from, but it was
unohcially stated that the association
had disposed of $4,000 tickets.
1t is expected that the receipts will
total near $4,000 There will be de-
felt of about $4,000 Officials for the
fair were confident that had the
weather given them anywhere near a
square deal on the week they would
have made money.
Already plans are being made for
1916. The fair will undoubtedly be on
a paying basis, according to the off
Gals. Secretary Remey was confident
that there would have been credit Of
several thousand dollars instead of a
deficit had the weather been fair.

GOVERNOR SLATON IS
HANGED IN EFfIGY
(United ProSO)

Atlanta, Ca, June 22.-Indicating
confidence that the worst has passed,
authorities this afternoon permitted
beer saloons and drinking clubs to
reopen. However, the militia is kept
on guard. Plans for tonight have
not been decided, but reports continue
to come in of trouble at other places.
At Woodstock and Marietta Governor
Slaton was hanged in effigy and i'm
ages of Slaton and Frank burned.
Citizens are Valdesta are subscribing
one dollar each to erect a monument
to Mary Phagan, the little girl Frank
was convicted of numbering.
Governor Slaton gave interviews
readily. He was badly scared and
made no attempt to conceal it. He
said that he did right in committing
the death sentence of Frank and
would do the same thing a thousand
times. Three companies of state
militia are still on guard at the
capital. The chief executive said
he did not believe the mob of red
tag element was an indication of
the states expression in the matter.

NIGHTS MAY BE SHORT
BUT BIG ON BROADWAY

New York, June 22.-As yester-
day was the longest day in the year
it naturally follows that last night
was the shortest night. That didn't
keep it from being a big one, how
ever, for many folks along Broad
way. The usual crowds were out
and were still out this morning. The
summer resorters have lured away
many who spent the winter nights
tangoing and trotting but wherever
there is nice slick floor bounded on
three sides by tables and on the
fourth by an orchestra and kitchen,
there can always be found perspir-
ing crowd of lively dancers. Some
of the dancers are more lively than
others for another essential is that
the slick floor be located convenient
to a good supply of plain and fancy,
but all expensive drinks. Food is Of
minor Importance. The big nights
are no bigger than they ever were.
So last night being the shortest OF
the year there was no more of tend
ency to crowd things into it than any
other night The crowds stayed out
just as long any how and then went
home with the milkman this morn
ing.

MANY IMM1GRANTS
49,: - COME 70 MINNESOTA

More than 100000 Immigrants
have been brought to Minnesota since
January /, 1910, by the Great North
ern railway, according to figures COM
piled by E. G. Leedy, general immi-
grafton agent of the line, and an
nounced by F. w. Lloyd, the Bemidji
agent. From January 1 to April 30
of this year, 1854 cars of immigrants
freight were brought into Minnesota
over the Great Northern lines, and
a total since 1909 of 1852 cars over
that line. In 1910, IT'S cars were
brought in, in 1911, LOAF cars; 1912,
1,160 cars; 1913, 1871; 1914, 761.
Using the average of three families
to a car of immigrant movables, and
five persons to each family, it is
found that from January 1, 1910,
to April 80, 1915, approximately
110,490 persons were brought into
the state by this one railroad. Off,
Gals of the Great Northern attribute
this large immigration to the state
to the campaign of advertising that
has been carried on for several years,
such as touring trains laden with
Minnesota products, demonstrations,
pictures and lectures.

OPENING SHOW PLEASES
Large Audience Enjoys Vaudeville
and Picture at Brinkman.

Two large audiences attended the
opening program at the Brinkman
theater last evening, the vaudeville
and pictures being much enjoyed. The
bill was excellent and assures Be-
midi theater goers that only acts Of
high class are to be brought here
by the Brinkman management. Those
who attended the performance were
surprised and pleased at the attrac-
tiveness of the remodeled theater and
all were of the opinion that the city
should feel proud of possessing such
a splendid show house. Karuza,
shadowgraphist, was clever and
Johnson and Crane in 'songs of the
season and dances of the day" were
pleasing entertainers. Frish, Howard
and Toolan scored a hit with their
songs and were immensely popular
with the audience. The head-liner,
J. C. Lewis, jr,. and company, in a
novelty comedy playlet entitled
"Billy's Santa Claus" was one Of the
best acts ever staged in Bemidji. The
same show will be presented this
evening.

REHEARIkG IS REQUESTED
Lyndon A. Smith, Attorney General,
Files Petition With Supreme Court
in Bemidji Sunday Train Case.
SAYS SERVICE IS NECESSARY

Motion was made in the state SUI
preme court Monday by Lyndon A.
Smith, attorney general, for a rehear-
ing of the case of railroad and ware
house commission against the Great
Northern road to compel the re-es-
Establishment of the Sunday service
on the Grand Forks-Bemidji- Duluth
division. The state lost in an appeal
to the higher court on June II.
It is recited in the petition for a
rehearing that the supreme court
Inadvertently overlooked a material
finding" of the state railroad and
warehouse commission that the OPP
GRAFTON of Sunday trains on this line
is public necessity.
1.-THE finding that the running of
these Sunday trains was work of
necessity takes it out of the Sunday
STATUTE" argues Mr.. Smith '"In the
finding of the commission that pub
lie necessity requires the operation of
said trains, it must find practically
that the work is for the comfort Of
the community"
Contention is also made that the
question of violation of Sunday laws
was not raised by either side and
was not in anywise presented to the
court Even had the order been at
tackled as violation of the Sunday
law it is pointed out, the court should
have sustained the order of the rail-
way commission, on it's finding of the
fact that the operation of the trains
in question was an act of necessity
permissible under the laws of Min
nesota.
