McTague Is Making Move
to Get Out of State Prison
Man Sent Up Four Years Ago for
Murder of Acng Prairie. Mar
shal Seeking Release

pa Birney McTague, now in Still
water for murder of George Will
lams, is setting the legal machin-
cry in motion in an effort tn get
out of prison in 1880.
When found guilty he was given
an indeterminate sentence of from
seven to 80 years which under the
law is the only sentence he could
have received based on the verdict
of the jury.
This means that under ordinary
circumstances he would be eligible
to parole in seven years.
However, County Attorney Wood
on the alert to protect the people
from such as McTague, had him
indicted on several other counts
at the time the grand jury had his
case under advisement. It seems
that as long as these indictments
are hanging over McTague, he
will have difficulty in getting a pa
role even though the law makes
him eligible to parole at the end
of seven years. Accordingly he
has begun action to have the in

Bandits Enter Clearwater
Store-Fail to Break Safe
Steal Watches and Other Mer-
chandise-Escape Without
Clue

When members of the firm of
Raw and Boldly at Clearwater ar
rived at their hardware store there
Saturday morning to open up for
the, days business it was discover
ed that the store was robbed dur
ing the night. The front door had
been forced open by a bar lying
near the door during the day pre-
viously when a windmill had been
assembled near the store.
The robbers had endeavored to
enter the rear door of the store
and had crashed a window pane
that gave them access to the ordi-
nary lock on that door. Concealed
locks of heavy weight foiled them,
however, and they went to the
front door where strong arm meth.
ods were used.
When entry was forced the ban
dts took dozen watches of var.
ious values from show cases and
a number of flashlights. They fail
ed, however, to- force their way in
to a safe in which there was con-
siderable amount of money. The
combination was knocked from the
safe. .
Several knives were removed
from showcase, but were left on
top of the case, indicating that the
robbers were frightened from the
scene before their looting was
completed.
Later this morning a Clearwater
garage reported that Chevrolet
coupe bearing a Nebraska license
had been abandoned just across
the county line into Stearns coun-
ty. The coupe had evidently been
abandoned for several hours and
it was thought that the robbers
had come to the village in the
coupe and had been forced to es-.
cape without recovering it. !
AS result Stearns and Wright
county authorities are checking up
on the case and the ownership of
the coupe is being investigated
while the car was probably stolen
in Nebraska, police in that state
may give some clues as to the
identity of the robbers.

dictments dismissed. His attorney
is F. M. Ridgeway. Of ~Minneapo-
lis. The first nearing. came up
before Judge Roeser last winter
and after objections by County
Attorney Wood, the Judge over
ruled the motion to dismiss. The
McTague case was based en- the
circumstances that he had not been
brought to trial on the charges
based in the indictments. Judge
Roeser overruled the motion CIV
ing in part as his reason that Nc
Tague had evinced no readiness to
go to trial up to the time he made
the motion to dismiss and that it
was not incumbent upon the state,
in view of McTague's being in pris-
on, to bring him to trial.
McTague, through his attorney,
has now appealed to the Supreme
Court for a ruling and the case
will be heard sometime This fall.
County Attorney Wood will ap-
pear to argue against the granting
of the motion.
County Attorney Wood has car
ried the indicted cases on the court
calendar each court term since
McTague went to Saltwater and
intends to keep doing so in order
to be able to proceed against Nc
Tague in case he is paroled within
the seven years period, which per-
iod expires in 1880.
McHugh, the other man in the
case, was sentenced for life, so his
case is disposed of and ended

Sixty-Eighth Annual
State Fair Huge Success
Crowds Exceed Last Year-Thrill-
ing Auto Races-Excellent
Exhibits
(By Newell Barnard of the
Herald Staff)

Herald Staff
The 68th annual Minnesota
Fair and Fifth Annual Northwest
Dairy Exposition opened Satur-
day at Hamline with total at
tendance for the day of upwards
of $4,000 people, the largest op-
ening day attendance since the
banner year, 1920.
The grandstand crowds Satur-
day afternoon got many thrills out
of the automobile races. One of
the drivers momentarily lost con-
troll of his car and headed for the
fence near the grand stand. By
quick and tactful action he right
ed his machine, careening for a
few moments as he headed down
the speedway. Another driver was
applauded by the spectators when
he exercised exceptional presence
of mind when his machine burst
into flames. He turned off the
track, quickly extinguished the
blaze and resumed his place in
the race.
Sundays crowd totaled 1896
persons, the biggest Sunday crowd
since 1920. The program was
limited as there were no grand
stand attractions, nor were any of
the shows ofUany kind operating.
The highlight of Sundays pro
gram were the band concerts by
Sousa's famous band, directed by
Lieut.. Com. John Phillips Sousa.
In the interval between the con-
certs the crowd visited the various
buildings and enjoyed the exhibits.
Monday, Labor Day, brought
out a monster crowd, 63,112 per-
sons passing through the turn
stiles by noon. This was the larg-
est Labor Day crowd since 1928 /.
Thousands from the Twin Cities
took advantage of Labor Day to
visit the great exposition. Rain
began to fall intermittently in the
late afternoon, but the evening
was cool and clear. On the Mid
way there is a giant 40-car Car
nival company presenting high
class circus acts and side shows
