A YOUNG MURDERER.
Pardoned From q Life Sentence and
Sent to q Reform School.

FRANKFORT, Ky, Oct !. - Through the
efforts of the National humane society and the
Kentucky division Of that body conditional
pardon has been obtained from Governor Buck
ner for Linnville Combs, the youngest life con-
vict ever sent to q penitentiary. Young Combs
is to be placed in the industrial school of re-
form at Louisville to remain until he is of age.
He lived with his mother and step-father in
Breathitt county. There was q baby in the
family and one day this baby was missed.
Linnville was questioned and finally led the
neighbors to where the baby's body was found
in a creek, its head crushed in. He said he
had hit the child on the head with poker and
killed it, after which he tried to burn the body
liz did not burn fast enough and he threw it
into the creek. He also said his father had
promised him a PAIR of new red-top boots if he
would kill the baby. Being an infant in law
his testimony against the old man was value
less, but he was sent to prison for life. He had
never heard Of God or the alphabet and did
not know right from wrong. At the time of
his conviction he was ten years old and now, at
the age OF twelve. he can read and write and is
very bright Every convict in the prison
signed a petition for his pardon.

THE CASE OF LIEUT.. BOTELER.
He Will Be Tried by the Police Trial
Board.

The case Of Lieut. James z. Boteler Of the
police force, charged with intoxication, will be
heard before the police trial committee Thurs-
day morning and not before the Commits
sioners, as the police supposed it would be.
The hearing Of ex-Lieut Arnold was before the
Commissioners and it was thought that the pre-
cedent established at that time would be car
ried out in this instance, but this is not so,
as the case will come before the trial board.
The name OF the person who gave the informa-
non on which the charges were based has not
yet been made public, although the charges
have been made out and regularly sworn to.
Mhen the information first given to the
commissioners the matter was referred 10
Major Moore and by him to Night Inspector
Pearson. That Official investigated the case. and
as the result OF his inquiries he swore to charges
against the lieutenant. The hearing will be
conducted with closed doors. 80 that the public
cannot nave an opportunity to read the testi-
mony taken. The witnesses summoned are not
required by any Law to attend the hearing and
give evidence. and need not appear unless they
chose to do SO. Lieut. Boteler has been on the
force nearly twenty-three years and has never
been up on charges before. 1t is thought
likely that Commissioner Douglass will be sum-
moned as q witness for the defense TO explain
In what manner and by whom the information
was furnished to him

STATEHOOD ACCOMPLISHED.
Latest Estimates as to the Results of To-
days Elections.

81. PAUL, MINs., Oct. lin the clear crisp
ness Of an October day the electors Of
North and South Dakota, Montana and
Washington are casting their first
votes for state officers and Con-
gressmen. A full vote was assured when
the sun set last night on the closing of as
warm campaign as any state ever
had, and the reports thus far received
indicate the active interest of the people in the
birth OF the new states. Although there have
been charges and countercharges Of frauds
preliminary to the election all reports thus far
received are to the effect that statehood is
being quietly accomplished.
THE CLOSE FIGHT FOR THE OFFICES
In Montana and the bitter capital fight in South
Dakota developed most of this talk Of fraud, but
IT has not yet materialized at the polls As yet
there seems no reason to change the predictions
made heretofore in these dispatches that the
republicans will carry North and South Dakota
ana nave the apparent advantage in Washing
fayorably to the democracy. Further than
this 1t Will not be possible to make a certain
statement as to the result
UNTIL THE VOTES HAVE BEEN COUNTED.
Changes in district lines, the arrival of new
citizens since the last territorial election and
the consequent lack Of data on which to base
predictions makes the prophet business but
losing one.
Still the last vote for delegate and the can
vass by the two parties indicate the result above
stated"
Washington's capital fight will be probably
not settled until later election, ma
jority vote being required, but each
Of the South Dakota capital con-
petitors is confident Of winning, although the
contest seems to have narrowed down to Pierre
and Huron, with Sioux Falls and Mitchell not
far behind.

THE MORO BURGLAR
Columbus Sewell. the Negro burglar. who alan
left the Jail in an unceremonious mauner, il .
clever thief, and is probably smart enough 10
keep from being recaptured. He has friends
in Maryland not far from Rockville. and il IL
thought that he probably went there. Circulars
have been issued and sent TO all parts OF the
country giving descriptions of the escaped con-
victs.
THEORIES or THE DETHcrrvEs
1t is generally thought that the escape was
planned and effected by Buck and his friends,
but the detectives are of different opinion.
They believe that Sewell not only planned the
escape. but that he. with the assistance Of an
other person, made il a success and was paid
by Buck friends 20 get him out
IL has been ascertaIned who the cab man vas
with whom they rode Sunday night, but be has
not been interviewed yet IL Is not believed,
however, that he knew who his passengers
were.

FIRST CASE OF PRISON BREAKING AT TIE NEW JAZZ
The authorities are somewhat chagrined that
the escape was made, inasmuch as il has always
been matter of pride that an escape by break
ing jail here was out OF the qnestion. The
prisoners took the only possible
means they could 10 effect their pur-
pose and made use OF the only defect in
the plan Of the building window In the vail
which could not be seen from the rotunda. IL
was located in the center Of a wall entirely out
OF sight until the core OF cells was passed It
Is likely now that these windows will be blocked

A Michigan Town Burned.

MUSHROOM, MICH, Oct IA report has just
reached here that half the town of Grand
Haven was destroyed by fire this morning.
The report says that fire started in the center
OF the business portion of the city and before
1t could be extinguished had swept through
half the city. A fierce wind was blowing
from the lake, and the flames got beyond the
control Of the fremen shortly after the fire
started. The telegraph Office was destroyed,
and 1t is impossible to get full particulars. The
damage cannot be estimated but az several
large establishments where agricultural imple-
ments are manufactured and one large factory
containing big stock Of wooden ware were de-
stroyed the loss is probably very heavy.
