recommended the pardon Of Robert Bruce
the life prisoner from this county, sen.
fenced for the murder OF Marshal Brenner

The press in Monroeville, Clyde and
Fremont complain bitterly over the de-
cision rendered BY Prof. Derby, Of Colum-

not permit the defeated contestants TO
frame their articles for publication and
endorse them as original. Whether right
or wrong, we believe that Prof. Derby
rendered an unbiased decision and should
Il been adversely TO the contestants In the
Cheese City, we hope that we would have
been willing to have said justice has been
done and complimented the yictors.
