THE announcement contained IN last
weeks HERALD that the State Board OF
Pardons had continued the hearing in
The case oc the Nicely brothers. caused
considerable disappointment throughout
the county and greatly strengthened the
on expressed opinion that the rope has
not vet been made with which these
cowardly mnrderers will be hung. The
murder Of Herman Um5erger was most
wanion, brutal and cruel, and WAS for
the purpose Of robbery alone. The pun
ishnent Of the murderers should have
been swift ana certain. Although the
crime Of which they have been convicted
was committed over a year ago, the day
of their execution is still long way off.
They will be taken to Indiana county
next week, and should the Pardon Board
refuse to interfere with the Judgment Of
the court, will be kept there till the new
jail at this place is completed, which will
be some time next fall.

a revolver and shot herself through the
head. Several men rushed 10 !he carriage
just in time TO catch her body as it was fall

lady was demented as the result ofa long
series of prosecutions at the hands of an
anonymous letter writer, who has been an

Associate Judges in overruling Judge Furst
in refusing 10 grant licenses, promises 10

sociate Judges pnrsued the same tictics again

Judge Furst was very indignsn, at his nn-
