ing for Mercy.
National Associated Press to the Star.
New YORK, March 20.-A special to
the Herald from Beaver City, Utah, says
in regard to the rumor OF petitions for
the Communication OF John ID. Lees sen.
tence TO Imprisonment. for life, that Gov.
Emery, now at Salt Lake, declines 10 in
dictate what course he would pursue
should such a petition be laid before
him.
Owing to the inadequacy of provisions
for the safe keeping of prisoners at
Beaver, United States Marshal Nelson
applied to Gov. Emery for squad of
federal soldiers to guard Lee and anoth-
er squad to execute him. This led to a
spondence with Gen. Sherman who
was willing to accede to the, first re-
quest, but, in regard to the latter, said
he did not regard it as part OF the duty
OF the army to execute d process OF the
civil Courts.
The request was made because it was
feared it would be difficult to secure
deputies who would be willing to shoot
Lee, he having large number of sons
aud grandsons, who, it is rumored, have
threatened to Kill any person who might
participate in the shooting. Several
residents, however, have expressed
their willingness to be deputized as spe-
cial Marshais for tnis emergency, and
think they would not be molested ON ac-
count OF their participation in the exc
cution.
Lee was brought from Salt Lake City
to Beaver in wagon about two weeks
ago, accompanied only by the United
States Marshal and District Attorney,
and reached Beaver safely, though lit
tie late, owing to storm. AS Lee is
well known there would not seem to be
much sympathy felt for him among the
people, who could easily have rescued
him at any point on the road.

IlJOU lIERoN's FUTURE.-Bijou Heron
is NOW 1tteen years old; she is slight,
grace.ui, and good-looking, but with a
prematurely old aud careworn air and
manner. This is due, no doubt, largely
to the l.f4 Of constant excitement aud
anxiety that Sue has led W tn her moth

most women twice her age. Her friends
and those of her mother are anxious
that she shall now retire from
the stage ior time ana
seek the training and recreation OF
other girls OF her age, which she has
hitherto lacked. either in school OF
win a family. 1t is not improbable that
this will be done, and, ii it is, Miss BijDa
is, in the opinion of those VINO are CON-
petent to judge, destined to great sue
cess as an actress. The means t. Gu.
able her to pursue the course suggested
are likely TO be raised either by benefit
