Some years ago, and before the birth
of the mulct law, John Mcdonald bar
tender, after a number of collisions with
the old prohibitory law, went from this
place to Montana and there secured en-
ployment at his trade. leaving a wife and
several children residing here.
Mr.. Mcdonald, in the discharge Of his
duties. came to a place where the survival
Of the fittest resolved Itself into a question
IF which beilfgerent could get the quicker

the State OF Montana was reduced by one
bad man. Mcdonald lived to stand trial
on a charge of murder A conviction vas
secured and a life sentence imposed. since
which time Mcdonald has been contin-
Cous resident Of Deer Lodge Peniteniiary.
Last winter. during the senatorial inves-
ticat:on at Washington relative TO the right
of Senator Clarke TO n seat, Mr. J. IL
Ccpenheffer, a lawyer Of this city. wrote
the then Senator letter. which elected
courteous and lengthy reply from the Mon

Mcdonald family IS the daughter. Lulu.

ways maintained that the conviction had
been wrongfu'ly had. and had exhausted
many plans for securing the release Of the
father.
When n became known that the daughter
Of the Senator was 20 attend the Kansas
City convention. II occurred to the lawyer
that he might be able to interest Senator
Clarke in the fate of his client. and the
daughter at once set about raising sufficient
money 10 defray the expenses OF trip
from Creston to Kansas City for tho pun
pose of trying to enlist the good offices OF
Senator Clarke. The day before the couveu-
ton enough had been secured tn buy rail

idea being that the lawyer should make the
trip.
Mr.. Corenhefer insisted that the girl
make the appeal TO the Senator. SO. pro-
vided with a railroad ticket. four silver dol
lars and a letter from the lawyer to the
Senator. she went to Kansas city, learned

herself and the letter early in the morning.
The small lady was entertained As the
CueSt of tho Senator while there ami was
assured by him that he was the father cf
small girl Just her age. and that he would
at once write his son directing him TO e1
before the Board of Pardons and see what
could be done for Mr. Mcdonald
That he kept his word Is evidenced ~ the
fact that letter received here to-day from
Mcdonald states that he has received a
pardon and will be liberated on Thursday.

He Was Fishing Off the Cape Shore
Rocks
When a Wave Washed
Him Off.
A Companion Barely Managed
To Save Himself.

A sad accident occurred of the rocks
on the Shore road Mt Cape Elizabeth yes
terday afternoon, John Forbes, much
respected citizen of North Deering being
drowned. Mr.. Forbes was a good swim
mer, but he was unable to save himself
In the very high sea which WAS running
at that time, and went down in the sight
of his companion, Mr.. Ferdinand Allen.
For u number of years Mr.. Forbes and
Mr.. Charles IL. Carter had been in the
habit of going over to this spot for fish
ing at least once during the summer sea-
son. This year they had once more
planned to go and had invited Mr.. Allen
to go along with them. The three men
arrived at the Cape about noon and left
their team in a barn a short distance be-
yond the Belmont hotel. Mr. Forbes and
MIR. Allen at once went to the spot Sc
lected while MIR. Carter was to follow
shortly after.
Mr.. Forbes and Mr.. Allen continued
along the road for short distance and
then went down through the lot of land
owned by Charles II. Robinson of this
city On the shore side of this lot Is
Agnes point 50 called, This point Is q
long stretch of rocks which extends out
into a cove for some twelve or thirteen
feet. At high tide this place is nearly
covered by water and the waves dash al
most entirely over 1t. When Mr.. Forbes
and Mr.. Allen arrived at the point yester-
day the water was ut about between tides
and the waves were coming in pretty
high. The two men jumped down on to
the lowest part of the point and threw
out their lines which were attached to
long poles. Mr.. Forbes standing on one
end and Mr.. Allen about fifteen feet
away. AS soon as they had cast out their
lines both men realized that the size of
the waves was far larger than they had
expected. Everything, however, went all
right for several minutes, during which
time both fishermen had landed few
cunners and pollock. Suddenly u monster
wave swept up onto the point and In a
twinkling Mr.. Forbes and Mr.. Allen We're
thrown into the water. Mr.. Allen fortu-
nately managed to grab hold of a part of
the cliff and though the water came up to
his waist he succeeded in reaching the
point in safety. Not so, however, with
MIR. Forbes, who was swept off by the
surf into deep water. Not until reaching
the rock did Mr.. Allen see his companion
struggling in the water few feet off.
Then he quickly threw out his rod to Mr..
Forbes. The latter manage to get his
hands onto the rod only to have it break
short off. His strength was nearly gone
and after struggle of but a few minutes
he sank from sight.
Mr.. Allen ran up over the cliff and met
