Spokane, Wash,, May 7th— Charles Rondo, who was convicted under the name of Charles Rollins of the murder of M. Vincent of Wal- lace, Idaho, and sentenced to 40 years in the penitentiary, isa free man, being given his liberty by the state pardon board after a thorough investigation, when it was brought out he was the victim of a series of remarkable circumstances. Rondo refused to divulge his identity when arrested, saying that to do so would probably result in the death of his aged mother, neither would he give testimony in his own behalf. When arrested two weeks after the death of Vincent, in August, 1908, Rondo was recovering from a bruised eye. He was identified by Vincent’s companions, although he bore no resemblance to the two men arrested and positively identi- fied earlier as Vincent’s assailants. The two suspects, however, established alibi and were released. Witnesses testified at the hearing that their identification of Rondo was made more certain because of his injured eye. Rondo persistently maintained his innocenoe and this and conflicting testimony was brought to the attention of the par- don board with the result already noted. John T. or “Jack” Wilson. A reward of $25 will be paid the person sending authentic informa- tion of the present whereabouts,dead or alive of the above named person, of London, Madison county, Ohio, who has not been heard from for the past two years. Matters of vast importance await hearing from the above. Send all information to B. W. Wilson, London, Ohio. The above article, with the por- trait of Mr. Wilson is being sent broadcast to the newspapers of the country, and is publicity. WASHINGTON LAWYERS T0 GIVE $5000 BONDS? Spokane, Wash., May 7.—Dundas Henderson of Spokane, is making a campaign for a legislative enactment, which provides among other things that every lawyer shall give a bond of not less than $5,000 as a guarantee of honesty upon his admission to the bar of Washington. He says that in view of many flag- rant breaches of trust the adoption of such a rule by the state would result to the advantage of the public, as well as being a gain to the legal profession. In support of his contention he cites the case of Alexander H. Gregg, attorney at law and former receiving much Prevents Harm to The Skin The Drying winds at this season are quite apt to roughen and discolor one’s skin. A Preventive is at hand in Webster’s Rolling Cream, This preparation is really making a big hit with our entire trade. Get a jar today, and watch results. Remember the place, The Gity Drug Store member of ehe legislature of Wash- ington, who was convicted in Spokane a few days ago of the charge of embezzling funds which ceme into his hands through legal matters with which he was con- nected. Gregg confessed, saying that while he could not account for his action “it may be that it was just and utter irresponsibility when it comes to handling money.” One of his clients was a working woman, who lost $500 through his specula- tions. Gregg was sentenced to the state penitentiary at Walla Walla to serve an indeterminate period, not to exceed 15 years. ‘““There is nothing likelier to keep a man within compass than having constantly before his eyes, the state of his affairs, in a regular course of account.” Keep tab on your ex- penses and deposit what you can save at interest in the Northern National Bank. LITTLE HOPE FOR ENTOMBED MINERS Over One Hundred Trapped in Alabama Golliery, Palos, Ala, May 7.—Eight bodies were removed from the ill fated mine No. 3 of the Palos Coal and Coke com- pany, where between 100 and 150 miners were entrapped by an explo- sfon. The condition of the bodies in- dicated that death was instantaneous. Doubt is expressed of finding any of the others alive. After the removal of the bodies it was found necessary to send a force of miners into the workings to strengthen the brattices and to pre- vent caveins, which were frequent dur- | ing the night. This and the presence of after damp delayed the work of res- cue for several hours. In the meantime the dead had been removed to a temporary morgue near the workings and were slowly identi- fled. Several of the bodies were lace- rated and all were burned about the head and upper part of the body. Among those identified were C. H. Btansberry, assistant mine foreman. James Liddell, one of the best known miners in the Birmingham district and a former legislator, was overcome by afterdamp while aiding in the work of rescue. His condition was serious for a time, but when he recovered he again took charge of one of the rescue crews. CAUSES FLURRY IN MARKET King Edward's lliness Affects Finan- cial Circles. London, May 7.—American stocks, with the exception of Illinois Central, were under severe pressure on the exchange, The report of the serious illness of the king had a most depress- ing effect, the Harriman shares selling off from 13 to 2 points at the open- ing, Steel 1%. Other standard shares showed a similar loss. There was a decidedly panicky feel- ing throughout financial circles. Jay Gould to Be Married. Paris, May 7—The engagement of Jay Gould and Miss Beatrice Godfrey Van Brunner will shortly be an- nounced, it is understood. Miss Van Brunner was educated here and at one time last spring it was thought she would marry Count Alexander Grimelsky, first secretary of the czar of Russia's household. DIST. JUDGE CONDEMNS THE STATE LAND POLIGY [Continued from First Page.] them. Begin and continue an ear- nest campaign and your efforts will not go unrewarded. I recently met and conversed with a leading member of the state legis- lature who lives in one of the south- western counties, in which there is probably not a native tree or an acre either of school or swamp land. Though he has never visited North- ern Minnesota, he volunteered the statement to me that he believes that the laws directing the manner of disposition of these lands are unreasonable and wrong and should be radically changed. He further deplored the fact that homeseekers are leaving Minnesota, while the state has such vast areas of um- occupied land, and asserted his belief that Minnesota state lands ought to be on the market every day in the year, instead of one day in the year as at present, and that every reasonable effort should be made by the state to speedily place an actual settler on every quarter section. This gentleman will be in the next house of representatives and you will find in him an earnest, able champion of any meritorious measure that you may propose. And 8o you will find sincere, loyal advo- cates of a greater Minnesota among the members from every section of the state, all ready and willing to champion your cause if you will only interest yourselves enough to ac- quaint them with the facts. ‘‘Make a mental note of these few facts and reflect upon them: Koochi- ching county contains about 1,800,- 000 acres; it has approximately 700, 000 acres of swamp land and 186, 000 acres of school land. In other words, more than one half of its total area is owned by the state. The greater part of this state land, though good agricultural land, is covered with merchantable timber. By legislative enactment, not by con- stitutional provision, the state de- mands the cash for this timber be- fore the land is sold. The same minimum price is placed upon the land, stripped of all timber that will make as much as a three inch top fence post, as has been demanded for state land in the richest agricul- tural counties in the state. The state sells the fee to only the sur- face, reserving all mineral rights, and probably the right to use the surface itself if required for mining operations. In the year 1910 only 8,000 acres, or less than 1-100 part of the state’s holdings in this county is offered for sale, and no one can buy any of that unless he is at In- ternational Falls on May 10, with cash enough in his pocket to pay for the timber, besides 15 per cent of the purchase price of the land and the interest for a year in ad. vance. “And then reflect upon the fact that of the 6,000,000 acres of swamp land selected by the state of Minne- sota, 3,000,000 acres have been given away, timber and all, to railroad companies, Then let your thoughts revert to the need of settler, the demand for roads, and conditions generally in Koochchiching county, and then ask yourselves whether you have a duty to perform. “I trust that the deliberations of this meeting and of all subsequent meetings of this association will bring the best possible results, and that you will succeed in so awaken- ing and arousing public sentiment that the great state of Minnesota will hasten to so amend its laws that settlers and homes will not be sacri- ficed to-greed, and that the real development to which our resources entitle us will be made possible.” BEMIDJI ICE ANDERSON & BLLOCKER, Props.
