Jones has granted him a pardon from

Under the name of Harry POiston.
Howell was arrested here in 1891 while
attempting to defraud a widow named
Ellison, and was sent to the Missouri
penitentiary. Howell was next heard
from at Indianapolis, where he mar
ried rich widow and deserted her
after he had got her money. He later
served a year in the Kansas peuiten-

REMARKABLE VITALITY.
Iron Nerve Displayed by Alexander
\ Murray at the Hospital. ---

Iron Nerve Displayed by Alexander
Murray at the Hospital.
An iron constitution and remarkable
vitality have combined forces to combat
death which has lowered near Alexan-
der Murray ever since that man was
stabbed Sunday afternoon by James
Neary. It was supposed that the man
would certainly die within u hours
after the tragedy occurred, the attend
ing physicians being among those who
held out little hope. The tenacity with
which the wounded man hangs on to
life is a matter causing great deal or
comment. He lies in St. James hos
pital with a frightful cash in his neck
and his abdomen slashed open. Win
all this Murray expresses every conl1-
dence that he will recover. To friend
yesterday he said:
Don't worry about me, lad; I'll be
out of here inside of week.
DIR. McNevin performed an operation
yesterday by removing about three
inches of the intestine and sewing it
together While he was cutting and
sewing the patient said: Saw away,
pardner. you can't make me squeal."
The man seems to be insensible to pain.
AT any rate he displays lot of valua-
BILE nerve. He is more confident of re-
covery than anybody. The doctor re-
marked yesterday afternoon that if
Murray could endure the pain OCCASION
ed by the knitting of the intestine and
would remain still and not agitate the
bowels, there We're hopes for his recov-
cry. The wound in the neck is not con-
sidered necessarily fatal, although SER
ious.
The affair has caused almost popular
concern. Every other person one meets
asks this question: How is Murray
getting along?" Both factions of the
lamentable cock fight express regret at
the turn Of affairs and all seem to be
equally anxious about the case.
Neary has nothing to say about it, but
his friends say that he is as deeply con-
cerned as anyone. and is hopeful. Mrs.
Neil Macdonald, sister of the wounded
man, is a constant attendant at the bed
side. Long after midnight word came
from the hospital that Murray was rest
