Sheriff Graham of
Cumberland FavOrs
Pardon of RiOuX

In q letter to the Governor and
Council received Monday, King +.
Graham Of Westbrook. sheriff Of
Cumberland county, advocates the
pardon of Amede Rioux of West
brook, who is serving a. term in the
Cumberland county Jail for the ille-
gal possession of liquor. A hearing
on the petition for the pardon of Ri
| oux will be held by the Governor and
| Council today.
II wish to state frankly that the
particular reason for my interest in
this case is because of the fact that
RiouX has given some valuable infor-
nation by reason of which we were
| able to locate witnesses whose testi-
mony enabled us to secure con-
viction against some Of the biggest
| opera tors in the liquor business in
| Cumberland county," says sheriff
Graham in his letter.
"This man has since jumped his bail
| and left the state and will have TO
| stay away for good, for which we are
| very thankful" continues Sheriff
| Graham.
81 have always made 1t practice
to be lenient with the little fellow IL
we could land the person who is at
| the head and in control Of the bust
ness. | have always done everything
Lin my power to encourage the Tor
mer class to give us the information
we so much need in order to land
| the people who are at the head OF the
| liquor business, but do not partici-
pate in the actual handling of the
liquor themselves, using the others
as tools.
| "RiouX gave me information with
out any promise on my part as we
are very careful in regard to making
promises, but it is we'll understood
that the person furnishing the evil
Gence is always given some consider
| alton in return.
II wish to assure you that this will
mean much to me in my work in the
future if this pardon is granted and
l sincerely hope it will be done
Rioux was sentenced by Judge
Lauren NJ. Sanborn of the superior
court for Cumberland county to pay
a fine of $500 and costs and to serve
three months in Jail and in default of
payment to serve six months addi-
tional in Jail.
In his petition for pardon. RiouX
states that he violated the law under
stress of circumstances, being poor.
| and the father of five children, that
to further keep him I'm Jail would
serve no useful purpose and that he
has rendered valuable service to the
| State.

Poland Spring. Me, July 23.-The
highway up through the grove and
past the Poland Spring House will
be closed to pubic travel Sundays
from now on until the close of the
season. The gates a. either end of
the road were ordered closed Sunday
at sunrise and kept closed until
midnight. Only out of State cars,
or cars bearing guests of the Kicker
Hotel Co. were permitted to enter
the grounds surrounding the big
house on the hill.
Hiram w. Kicker questioned as
to the reason for closing this roac
to the public, said that the step
seemed expedient in view of the
constant flow of automobile travel
past the Poland Spring House on
Sundays much to the annoyance or
their guests. 1--WE have felt for
several years that We should stop
public travel over this road on Sun
days but have put such a step off
until this year." Mr.. Kicker said.
"A few Sundays ago 1900 ma
chimes were counted as they passed
over the highway in front of the
big house. Aside from stirring up
quantity of dust the machines" Mr..
Kicker said. make a disturbing
noise. annoying many OF our guests
who wish to rest on Sunday" A

In her petition for a pardon. Mrs.
Frye states that she is an old lady,
feeble in health. and that the prose-
cution did not arise out Of the activ-
tiles of the sheriff's department, or
any official. but was instituted by
Mr.. and Mrs. Fireman. wholly
through spite, and only after Mrs.
Eyre had commenced a civil action
for damages in the sum Of $4,000
against Mrs. Fireman, growing out of
alleged negligence Of Mrs. Fireman
whereby Mrs. Frye received personal
injuries.
Mrs. Frye also says that it is i'm
possible for her to obtain money with
which to pay her fine and that she
will have to remain in Jail for
period of min, months unless eXecu-

err in blister rust control, reports that

ing the month Of June 247 private
owners spent s1S46.64 on eradication
work in 20 towns where $1313.03 of

"That is So said Brother Bacon,

THAT is why our talk hasn't been
any more intelligent or worth hearing.
You know when creatures talk and
have something to say that is worth
while they think of what they're say

and so we don't talk well. Creatures
who're thinking of all sorts Of things
while they're talking of something else

That's the truth, grunt, grunt."

been left open by mistake and so we

"There is no food about just now"
said Mrs. Goat. THAT is one reason"
WELL" said Pinky, that sounds like
a good reason. Still you might dig in
the hope you'd find something"
Yes, l might" said Mrs. Goat, and
I'm also apt to find something blown

work the wind could do if only it so
chose. 1t could blow US food all the
