(Special) Everything Is ready for an early trial of the Fred Maglll-Fay Graham murder case, which has been brought to Macon county on change of venue from DeWItt county. The case is the second on the criminal docket, which will be the first to be taken up when court meets next Monday. The at torneys for the defense say the ac cused are ready to face the bar of justice and are confident that the re sult of the trial will be a complete vindication. On the other hand, Prosecuting Attorney Miller of De- Witt county, who is In active charge of the prosecution, believes that he has m strong case, particularly against Magill. Whatever the result may be, tho trial Is bound to attract as much at tention as ever centered In a crlml nal case In Illinois. Fred Magill and his wife, formerly Fay Graham, come from two of the most prominent families In the State. Magill and his first wife had never been able to get along and It was common talk that he was paying attention to other women at Clinton, especially Miss Fay Graham, who had acted as his stenographer. On May 31 of this year Mrs. Magill, who was familiarly known as “Pet Magill, was found dead at her home in Clin' ton, and It was at first supposed that she had committed suicide. The circumstance surrounding the case were of a strange nature, but the authorities paid no attention It until news came to Clinton that Fred Magill and Fay Graham had been married In Denver, and this but a little over four weeks after his first wife's death. It developed that a few days after the death of his wife Ma gill had disposed of his property, drew his money from his father's es tate and with Miss Graham and his daughter. Marguerite, aged 17, left Clinton. Miss Graham, who Is the daughter of W. W. Graham, a well-known res ident of Clinton, led her parents to believe that she was going to Chica go to secure work as a stenographer, and might also visit relatives In Kan kakee, When word was received that the couple had been married In Denver on July 5 an active Investigation was started by tho Clinton authorities and the result was that Magill and his brldo were arrested In San Diego, Cal., on July 13, and brought back to Clinton and Indicted by tho grand jury. The charge was first degree murder. The Investigation,, it' Is said, showed that Mrs. Magill had been poisoned by chloroform. The Magill family is one of the wealthiest In Clinton, and prominent In the social and financial world. Fred Magill Inherited 360,000 In 1892, but soon got aWay with It. Before he went West with Miss Graham he raised about 38,000 on a prospective legacy. Since their return to Clinton Ma- Glll and his bride, with the seventeen year old daughter have been staying at the home of W. W. Graham, and have appeared on tne street but lit tle. The daughter, Marguerite, stout ly mantalns that her father Is inno- VERY GAPABtE MAN IN POSITION Gom. Merritt Will Go To Florida With a Great Lumber Company - He is Succeeded By Prof. JereM. Pound.

Mr. Thomas Williams, depot agent at Leslie and who was shot by friend and companion, Roy Wade, Is doing very well and tho physician attending him Is said to express the belief that tho wound will not prove dangerous one.

LETTER TO HISS ALICE STAL. L1XGS. Americas,, Georgia. W. P. Warlick. Dear Madam: Here’s another prob lem for those arithmetic and algebra scholars: If Dovot Is wqrth 3L75 a gallon, and spreads a half further than aver age paint, and wears twice as long, what Is average paint worth a gallon put on, painter's wages being 33.50 a day and a day's work a gallon of paint Hie answer is minus 31-75 a gal lon. -That Is: you could afford to paint with average paint if some body gives It to you any pay half the painters wages. ■ Yours truly, F. W. DEVOE & CO. The fox crop near Americus Is one of the best tn years, though the dom- Inccker Is lessened In proportion. Re cently an Americus citizen, who loves to follow the yelping hounds, placed three fine red fox “cubs” on Mucka- lee, at a point near the city, where they were expected to fatten until he got ready to run them with his dogs. The foxes fattened all right, but the fattening ammunition used was sixty barred Plymouth Rock pullets worth a dollar each and the property of a neighboring farmer, who falls utterly to see anything funny about the foxy business. In the meantime the foxes, fat and happy, are still out In the woods, while somebody is out the value of five dozen fine chickens worth 318 a dozen.
