HARRIsBURG, PA, May 10.
Formal application for the release
of John ID. Shea, alias Sullivan,
will be made by the authorities of Mis-
souri, to the pardon board tomorrow.
The prisoner was tried aud convicted of
the murder of Officer Ryan at st. Louis,
but before being sentenced he skipped
and was arrested for burglary at Pitts
burgh and sentenced to five years in the
Penitentiary. About one year of that
sentence has been served. The query
arises, can man be compelled to accept
a pardon which he has not asked for? 1t
is understood that this is the stand taken
by the prisoner. In this event it is eX-
pected the board will commute the SEN
tence, ending his term OF confinement
with Saturday next, when the prisoner
will be taken to st. Louis aud hanged.

It was deemed best by many interested
to put off the organization eff the Bad
Lands stock association till next fall.
Several reasons led to this result, among
them the following: That there is no
business of Immediate Importance to
come before the meeting; that at the
present season it is impossible for all in-
terested to attend q meeting, many OF
them being away, and finally that the
subject has not received as thorough o
canvass as it should have. Altogether it
seems better to put off the Organization.
as poor association is little better than
none at all and will prevent the estab-
lishment Of fa good one. It is also better
to wait for the! reason that we can draw
members as far as the Black Hills, and
very soon a steel highway will afford
ready access to Medora for all Hills stock
men. It Is merely putting off the day
for tho purpose Of forming a far more
important organization

that there are thousands there who do

IA TWenty-Six Hours, Run.

& The Marquis de M0res and Jos. PenneIl
returned yesterday morning from their
DeadWood trip. From the Black Hills
papers and interviews it is very manifest
that the trip WIS q great success. They.
started week ago yesterday morning
and made the trip in forty-eiglit hours,
passing on the road Messrs. Allen and
Jones' sWhe had thirtt five hours the start.
& According to RenneIi they shatsa
parrot and monkey kind sof d time Oh The
way down. They were caught ON tile
open ridge in a$driYing storm Of snow
and rain without even a blanket to cover
them and for six hours were compelled
to walk around their horses to keep alive
Their only protection from the storm was
their saddle blankets thrown over their
heads. Between Spearfish and Deadwood
they We're met by a delegation Of the;
principal citizens of Deadwood and there
was q perfect ovation. The principal.
mines and points Of interest were visited
and everywhere the party met with an
enthusiastic reception. Several banquets
were given, and aside from the business
done, many warm friends were made.
E8 The return trip was made in much bet
ter time. Starting Monday they arrived
here yesterday morning, being in the:
saddle just tWenty-six hours. This fact
alone prevents all argument as to the
apracticability" Of our route. nany one
doubts il, there Is $500 to $4,000 here
that says the trip can be made in twenty
four hours. That is, in twenty -four hours
after leaving Mcdora the rider will be in
DeadWood. sssS.$ :s3. Ss.,:
& The merchants Of the Hills to {. man
are interested in our route and there is
now doubt that every pound of Black
a Hills freight will be, shipped via Medora.
At Q meeting Of the Black Hills Shippers
Association it was decided to send all
freight BY our line and a telegram was
sent to Reyes g Bramble to that effect
and offering them the position Of for
WaTders. Mr.. Reyes went through here
Tuesday evening and reported their &C
[eeptance 0f the effer and that there were
40, eco pounds Of freight at Belfeid that
would be shipped here Immediately. In
addition to this, Marquis has agreed Ito
put on a tri-Weekly line Of stages, which
will be running as soon as the stages can
be procured. The railroad is perfectly
