the yard alone to play. After a time
she crept through the fence where a
paling was off, on to the track. Short
ly the mail train came around the
curve at point where the child was
playing, and before the speed of the
train could be checked little Christina
was struck by the steps and thrown
down the embankment and died five
hours after.
The Cooley farm on which they
live is in both states. The house is il
one and the barn in the other. Th'
corps was brought to Smyrna for inter
ment on Saturday.

The CASE OF FRANCIS JEFFRIEs,
Il 10 Before 6Overaor Shomp a. 40 Ap.
plicatlUu lOr PArdoo.

About four years ago, Francis JET
fries, Of Bellevue, who built Chase's
Hall, ia this city, was indicted in the
Second District Court, tried and found
guilty OF the crime of incest, and
sent to tho Boise Peniten,iary for ten
years. Tho only important witness
against him was bis daughter Maud,
who Was just about II years Of age
1t the time.
About three weeks ago, says the
Noise Statesman, Governor Shoup 70.
ceivcd . letter from OK Judge Brod.
esisl<, who presided ut the trial Of the
case. The letter stated in substance
that after the trial ard sentence he
had become in possession Of facts
that not only caused him to doubt the
guilt of tho prisoner but led him to
incline to the belief Of his innocence.
Moro recently the Governor received
. letter from Elk District Attorney N.
NJ. Ruick, in which he states that no
has very grave doubts as to the guilt
Of the prisoner, and gives long list
Of reasons why he entsr,ains tLem.
There are many circumstances tina.
happened anterior to the trial and
conviction Of JcfFries that could not
be introduced in evidence. The girl
was endeavoring to keep company
with = worthless fellow whom her
father had forbidden to come to the
hvusc. and upon one occasion the lat.
ter had fight with the intruder in
his own doorway. This fellow was
very active III bis endeavors to pro.
cure the arrest Of tho prisoner and
his subsequent conviction. As soon
NJ that was accomplished, the young
man married the girl and then placed
her in \ house Of prostitution. They
dri.ted off to California, where he
deserted her, AID she is now suing for
= divorce. Her reputation has always
been bad, even before the time OF the
trial, when che was suffering from a
loxthsome disease, tho result 1t
the dissolute life she had been lead
ing. Mr.. Raick says that the girl
told him different stories before con.
viction; at one time insisting that her
father Vas perfectly innocent, but A.
tsrwArd testify;ng that he was guilty.
A society OF the Sisters Of Mercy, i"
California, undertook to reform her,
but she was found to to UT 'rly in.
corrigib'e. aud gave up the job as
beyond any eifurts they could bring
{, bear upon her. She has continued
to write to her father, who vt the
Governors request. sen, the latter her
l-tters. She sxys she has another

she means to marry him rs soon as
she procsses divorce. when she wants

She d 'es not acknowledge that she

The DAILY PLAZA CONCERTS,
why They viii Probably be Curtailed IN
Number After the LIST OF June.

An order was issued by the commander
at Fort Marcy yesterday directing the post
adjutant, Lieut.. Seyburn, to stop the plaza
concerts after June |, or very materially
to cut down the number of them. 1t ap-
pears that record has been kept for the
past year and it is found that the amount
of money received from citizens for these
concerts does not pay for the wear and
tear on the instruments. By late order
also the government declines to supply
the army musicians any longer with in
struments; they have always had to fur
nish their own music, so that it becomes
necessary to exercise the greatest
economy and care in the use of instru-
ments. The band now receives for its
daily concerts, Saturdays excepted, the
sum OF $135 Ter month. This will scarce
ly pay for two concerts week if the
actual wear and tear is taken into &C.
count. Unless those old subscribers who
have refused to pay can be induced to
renew their subscriptions, it is probable
that after June the band can afford to
appear in the plaza but twice a week
The officers in charge speak very kindly
about the matter, but say it has reached
that point now when their wishes in
the premises are not to be considered,
it being simply question OF business
that directly affects the pockets of the
musicians.
