father was naturalized while he was
not minor did not hold good and de
cided against him on that point. What
saved Governor Boyd was that being a
resident OF Nebraska whenit was yet a
territory and at the time of its admit
lance into the Union as state he
thereby became citizen by virtue OF
law, which provides that every resi-
dent of territory at the time of it's
admittance is made citizen. Governor
Atgeld has no such law to fall back
on. A section of the naturalization
laws provides that any alien who has
served in the army of the United
States may become a citizen by petit
tioning for it. Governor Atgeld served
for few months during the war in
company O, 164th infantry, but it is
not shown that he ever petitioned to
become citizen or was made a citizen
under that section.
Many leading attorneys think an
explanation is In order from the gov
ernor just at this time. The fact was
developed today that the friends of
Fielden, Schwab and Neebe knew be-
fore the election that the governor was
in sympathy with the cause of the
Amnesty association from the fact that
he was one of the signers of the un-
successful petition presented to ex-
Governor Fifer, asking for Neebe's
pardon. 1t is said the Amnesty asso-
citation did not disband, as popularity
supposed, but continued its labors
with a view to securing the pardon of
the Bohemian anarchist, Heroneck,
who was sentenced to Joliet for IA
years some time after the conviction of
the Haymarket rioters.

Is ALTGELD GOVERNOR?
Efforts Being Made to Prove That He Is
Not an American Citizen.

CHICAGO, June ga sensational
sequel comes tonight to Governor Alt
geld's release of the Haymarket an
archists. The Journal raises the ques-
ton whether he is legally governor of
the state of Illinois or citizen of the
United States. 1t is asked Are his
acts legal as governor, particularly the
pardon of anarchists The opinion is
expressed that the famous Governor
Boyd case of Nebraska may be re-
enacted in Illinois, with John p. Alt
geld as principal actor. The Journal
says Governor Altgeld bases his claim
to citizenship on the simple statement
that his father was naturalized while
the son was minor child. John p.
Altgeld was born in Prussia in l84S,
and came to this county with his pa.
rents when boy, his father settling
on farm near Mansfield, o. If the
father of Altgeld was made citizen
while the latter was under 81, always
providing tbs father was legally nat
uralized, then there can be no
question as to the governors title to
citizenship. But if Altgeld, Sr., wait
ed until his son was over 81 before
taking out his first papers, then most
assuredly the title OF the governor to
citizenship is badly clouded.
The registration book has followed
the record opposite the name of John
T. Altgeld in accordance with the latest
registration laws of Illinois: "Resi-
dence, 1882 Frederick street; place of
nativity, Germany; term of residence
in precinct, IL years: in county, II
years; naturalized, yes; by act of con-
gress, yes; qualified voter, yes; date of
registration Oct. 81, 1892; removed
to Springfield" There Is nothing to
show when or where the father of
Governor Altgeld was naturalized or
by what act Of congress the governor
was made citizen.
In the case of Governor Boyd of
Nebraska the court decided his claim
to citizenship on the ground that his

The first time the Benjamin Hur

old pard Seth Stokes was sittin on
the bank nigh the San Moniky
Spring, watchin' her as she come
tearin' along with "bone In her
teeth" When she landed at the
wharf, and the crowd begun to pour
out of her like ants arter you stir up
their nest with a stick, my old pard's
eyes fairly bulged from his head, and
he 'peared to be as much astonished
as he said he was, when he fired into
a Commanche camp, thinkin' there
was but one Ingen in 1t, and twenty

said he kivefed three miles on that
pertickler occasion, faster than eau
