Mayor Accepts
With Pleasure Gift
Waterville Baker

In appreciation of the wonderfully
delicious cake and the giant mince
pie-lS inches in diameter-yester-
day presented to him by E. B. Har-
ris, proprietor of the Harris Baking
Co. of this city, Mayor Libby sub
mits the following:
Everett B. Harris, Proprietor,
Harris Baking Co.,
Waterville, Me.
My dear Mr.. Harris:
II want to thank you for the
specimen products of your bakery
which were presented to Mrs. Libby
and to me Thursday forenoon. The
mammoth mince pie is admirably
built for our use-not one bit too
large. The cake is the last word in
workmanship. We have eaten too
many of your cakes not to know
their excellence.
"At the same time that accept
these products from your bakery,
wish you to know that all of our
citizens are deeply appreciative OF
what you have done and are doing to
get your important business estab-
lished on an ever charging scale
Your new store on Main street pres
entity to be opened to the public will
add much to our trading center in
attractiveness and in general con-
venience to shoppers. What Inter-
ests good many of us even more
than the attractiveness and conven-
fence of your new store is the fact
that you are giving employment to
more than three score, people and
are distributing weekly a large pay
roll. You started in a small way,
but by dint of perseverance and in
dustry and thrift you have built UP
an indispensable business in our
city, and for this I wish to express
to you and those associated with
YOU the thanks of our citizens.
Very truly yours,
(Signed) HERBERT c. LIBBY,
Mayor of Waterville.

character and standing. He was

all the public sympathy was with
him at the time of his trial"
TWO years previous to this trial,
| the authorities learned, Turner was
approached by the Mexican with an
offer to invest his savings. The Mex
lean is said to have swindled Tur-
ner and when the Mexican authori-
| ties arranged a meeting between the
alleged swindler and Turner the lat
|, ter terminated the conference with
bullets.
Hallen, records indicate, was in
Mexico City at the time and was

! kept for two years before being
| brought to trial and acquitted.
This trial was three years ago and
Mrs. kilbourne said people wonder
why Turner waited so long to come
to Portland to square accounts with
Hallen. The reason is he waited to
clear up all of his obligations there.
He owed his attorney when the trial
was over and had other debts. That
is what has taken him three years"
Mrs. kilbourne spoke of the Ba-
lem prison in Mexico City where
Turner was confined and asked do
you know anything about the pris-
| on? If you do you would understand
the resentment it would kindle in a
mans heart to be left there for two
years.
1T has been done away with now
but it was one of the vilest prisons
imaginable. Imagine spending two
years in a dark cell Just long enough
| for a man to lie down in. It had
adobe walls and was dirty and in
sanitary. 1t is enough to turn any
ones head. 1t is no wonder he con-
ceived the idea of squaring accounts
with the man who had done that to
him."
Concerning the shooting Of Hal
len, she said, II do not believe he
had any such idea in his head-what
| he came for was to secure a settle
| ment. The fact of the gun has no
significance as everyone carries a
gun in Mexico"

Explosions Caused
Several Inquiries

Many were the inquiries yesterday
as to the source of the loud reports
which indicated the explosion of
heavy blast charges. Everybody
seemed to think it was somewhere in
the business section of the city. AS
matter of fact the explosive was
doing its work in the vicinity of the
HOllinsworth and Whitney plant in
Winslow. The air currents were such
as to carry the sound directly into the
city creating the impression that
blasting was being done behind the
business blocks.

The thousands who see me daily on
the stage know how my hair waves and

who sees it would like to have hair like
mine.
But I never 60 to a hair dresser. I
