 Governor McCord yesterday issued pardons to Ellers and Uetz, the two boys sentenced nearly four months ago to six months imprisonment ill thla county jail for larceny. These are the youths who attained fame last summer by a systematic raid on tur- key ranches below the city. The sec- tences were not believed to be exces- sive and it was thought that they would have a tendency to check couple lof careers which were leading toward outlawry. Four months have tanned the prisoners somewhat and the boys have come to believe that lives of crime are net what thsy ap- pear to be in yellow covered novels. The movement for their pardon was begun by Uetz's friends some time ago. Justice Kincaid agreed to sign the petition if it were made to include Ellers, and subsequently, the district attornjey favored it.
 Deputy United States Marshal Por- terie yesterday came upon a counter felt silver dollar which would de- ceive the very elect after night or in the day time but for the quality of metal in it. The work is so nearly perfect as to defy detection. The milling, both on the edge and on the face within the edge is without a flaw. showing that it is not a moulded dol lar as most counterfeits are. The metal is mixture of block tin, anti mony and zinc. It is greasy to the touch, has a distinguishing Odor, but a very good ring. If the artist who mad'a it would only employ the material of which standard American dollars are made he would be a for midable competitor of the United States mint and his products would pass unquestioned. He would even then have very good thing, clearing considerably more than 100 per cent on the cost of the material.
