Special Correspondence of the Standard.
Livingston, April 2S.-A petition
for the pardon of John La
velle was forwarded to his excellency,
Governor r. b. Smith, signed by about
200 people who would like to see La
velle released. Lavelle is in jail under
sentence of the district court for strik-
ing a man with a beer bottle. He is the
only railroad man who has ever been
in serious trouble here for a long time,
and his friends on the division nat
urally wish to see him liberated. He
has already served FIVE months in Jail
and it is likely that Governor Smith
will look with leniency upon his Of
Tense and turn him loose.
Parties whose cows turn up missing
from this time on are apt to find the

marshal will detain the "critter" in the
pound until the owner pays the fine
necessary to get the animal released.
