SMITH DOES NOT BE
. LIEVE I0EN GUILTY
Says He Will Not Believe It
Until Charge Has Been
Proved.
ACCORDING TO STATEMENT
MADE BY F. M. FRENCH
New fcRoad Is Being Built
Hunting and Fishing Is
Fine There.
Continued from Friday, August 16.
That lie will not believe that W. A.
Men is guilty of any crime until he is
proven guilty, was the statement made
this morning by ex-Sheriff D. S.
Smith, in commenting on his acquain
tance with the prisoner.
"I knew Mr. Men about ten years
ago," said Mr. Smith, "when he was a
minister in tiie Methodist church
south at Tangent and while he taught
school there. I had known him for
two years prior to his leaving here
and all that 1 know or have heard of
him has been the best of recommenda
tion. In all his transactions and ac
tions while here he was regarded in
high esteem and was a respected cit
izen. I can't understand such a charge
being made against him and I can
not believe it until he has been prov
en guilty."
That Belknap Hot Springs is the
coming resort o ithis section of the
state was ' the statement made this
morning by F. M. French.
That the hot spring is the best of
any in this section and that the re
sort is one of the best, affording un
surpassed advantages to campers and
that it is enjoying considerable popu
larity was an assertion Mr. French
made.
"Is is only a question of a little
more adequate road," he said, "before
the resort can boost for permanent
improvements such as a hotel and the
ordinary conveniences. At present
the road up there is unsually good
frtr ii mnnntain hiehwav. A large
crew of men are now busily engaged
in repairing the road and when com
pleted I believe it will represent one
of the best mountain roads in this
Returning last evening in their au
tomobile, Mr. and Mrs. French and
son Seth have enjoyed a ten days
camping and outing there, iney re
nnrt n most eniovable outinff and Mr.
French and son Seth stated they had
unusual good luck fishing.
"We made the trip from Belknap
to Albany," said Mr. French, "both
going and coming without mishap in
tii rnnvmirnt time of 9 hours. The
exact distance traveled was 104.8
miles."
Speaking of the springs, Mr. French
said: Belknap Springs is the
coming resort for this section of the
state. The spring is the best in this
section and the resort affords unsur
passed advantages and beauties for
campers. Permanent improvements
are to be made there soon by those
who control the grounds. They are
waiting a little on the improvement
of the road which is being done at
present and then the construction of
a good substantial hotel will be begun.
Evidence of the popularity the resort
has enjoyed this season can be sur
mised by the fact that there are now
fifty tents on the grounds, the camp
ers being numbered among people
from all sections. At one time there
were about 15 Albany people there."
Mr. French also stated that he and
his son caught 50 mountain trout
while there and that one of the camp
ers caught one of the largest Dolly
Vardens that he had ever seen. It
measured 34 inches and weighed 3i
pounds.
