PERSISTENT RELATIVES.
Efforts Made to Secure a Pardonfor
a Montana Prisoner

Efforts Made to Secure Pardon for
a Montana Prisoner.
# WASHINGTON, Special Telegram
The persistency, tears and pleadings of the
mother and two sisters of man now in the
Montana penitentiary have moved the
hearts OF high officials here to interfere in
his behalf. The mans name is Rowand
About two years ago he was convicted of
murder in the second degree and sentenced
to life Imprisonment. A brother of Gov
Toole was his attorney, and all that could
be done at law was done to save him. He
came from Quebec of good ancestry, and
his family was wealthy. He was and is
still q subject of the queen. As soon as he
was imprisoned his mother and two sisters
began the weary work of seeking a
pardon for him. The governor of
Montana was said to have been
disposed to exercise clemency, but the
board of pardons of the state refused. The
mother went to Ottawa and there laid her
case before the Canadian premier. He be-
came interested and at length wrote to Sir
Julian Pauncefote, the British minister
here, asking him to intercede on behalf of
RoWand. The mother and daughters ar
rived here some days ago. They saw Sir
Julian and, with tears. laid their case be-
fore him. He responded and w1ote Secre-
tary Blaine, asking as an international
courtesy that he use his influence to secure
the pardon. The letter was taken to the
state department by the mother, and in re-
Spouse to the request Secretary Blaine has
written the board of pardons of Montana,
asking ii, as courtesy between nations,
pardon cannot be granted to young Row
and. Mrs. Rowand and her daughters are
still here anxiously waiting to know THERE
suit Of all their pleadings for the son and
brother.

source of much annoyance. To-day H. o.

He refused to pay license, claiming that he
was not peddler. It was finally agreed
that Warner be allowed to deliver the
goods. an arrest to follow and fine i'm
posed in the justice court. An appeal will
be taken to the district court, and which
ever is there beaten the case is to 20 to the
supreme court. This differs from the Fort
Dodge case in that at Fort Dodge. he was
taking orders for delivery, here actually de-
ivering. The final decision will be awaited
with much interest, as it will affect "a num-
Der of wholesale establishments in Chicago
and other points who, through their agents,
