up in Lee county and some Que OF the

The old buck. with his life blood slowly
ebbing, made a Decline for New Years
creek swamp, hoping to eiude the hunters
and hounds. The dogs We're soon out of
hearing of the party, and they abandoned
the chase and returned home.
But the dogs, in full cry, followed the
trail into the swamp, though, up one side,
down the other, with a persistence that
could but challenge the admiration of low
ers of the chase, and they put in behind
him so rapidly that his deership quit the
swamp, crossed over into the open farms OF
Washington -couaty, and lodged through
wire fences for hours but after a chase
covering distance of twenty-five miles
on straight line. though much OF the
distance vas traversed over and over in
the windings, the deer was caught near

TRYING TO SAVE BURT.
MORE PETITIONS FILLED wITm
THE PARDON HOARD.
lercr VIII Expintc His Horrible
Crime on the Gallows.

Austin, Texas, January Three more
petitions asking for the Communication OF
the sentence of Eugene Burt, the con
demned triple murderer, were filed with
the board of pardons today.
One of the petitions is from District
Judge f. g. Morris of this city The petit
toner doubts the sanity of the condemned
man and asks that his sentence be COM
muted 10 Imprisonment for life.
Another OF the petitions is from Hous-
ton and is signed by Drs. Stuart and
Roylcs. DIR. S. c. Red, Dr. J. X. Stuart,
r. NJ. Hall. d. T. Murchison, Claude
Murchison and Rev. ] NJ. Halsell The
petitioners ask for the Communication of the
sentence on the ground that they believe
Burt to be of an unsound mind.
The third petition asking for comnuta-
ton was signed by Judge d. W. Doom of
this city.
The board of pardons has invited Major
w. NJ. Walton. Burt's attorney, and Rev.
DR.. Smoot and others who are interesting
themselves In the condemned mans be-
half 10 appear before ii TOMORROW and It
will probably be several days before the
board will arrive at conclusion. In the
meantime there is much speculation as to
what the governor will do, even should
the pardon board recommend coinmuta-
tion of the sentence: but the impression
prevails among the people of Austin gem
orally that Burt will eXpiate his horrible
crime on the gallows, and so strong Is
this impression that no counter petitions
have been presented.
