Many People Going to Cool Resorts
in Rockies via the Burlington
Route.
The hot weather Of the last few days
has silenced the man who asks: rs 1t
hot enough for you?
The question now Is: Where shall I
go to escape the heat" The anewer is:.
ITO Colorado"
Colorado is a whole mile higher than
Iowa and Nebraska. That is why Its
summers are 50 cool; why thousands
annually exchange the heat of the
plains for the cool OF the mountains
In Colorado are scores of places where
hot weather Is unknown-places where
snow capped peaks are constantly In
sght-where the sky is always blue,
and the air Is invigorating as tonic.

TO PAROLE BILLY ROYCE.
Slayer of Minnie Patton to he Given
Executive Clemency.

j p
Sioux City, July 31.-Billy Royce will
be paroled and will arrive in Sioux City
soon to make this place his home dur
ing good behavior.
Sherin &C. w. Jackson has left for
5Des Moines with petition to Cow
sernor Shaw which will unquestionably
secure the necessary order for Royce's
release. The application is signed by
all the county officers now serving as
we'll as those in Office when Royce was
tried over four years ago. The name of
j. w. Hallam. the states attorney who
prosecuted the case and Of many lead
ing citizens Of Sioux City appear on the
petition.
Royce's parole will require that he
abstain from drinking intoxicating
liquors. leave all opiates alone and ac-
count for all wages periodically to the
governor or some officer delegated to-
receive such statements.
Royce was sentenced in the spring of
1896 to serve a term Of seventeen years
for numbering Nellie Patten.. Governor
Shaw has finally been given satisfac-#
tory representations and the young
man will be accorded conditional lib.
serty.
-
While much sympathy was felt for
Royce. because of his mental and
physical condition when he committed.
the crime, the cold blooded manner in
which he perpetrated the deed created
"a sentiment against him hard to over
come. He had been living with Nellie
sPatten. where he fed mis- appetite for
drink and opiates until he was moral
and physical wreck. The woman tired
of the youth, then "a years of age. and
gave him up for another man. Royce.
with all self respect gone, gave himself
over to utter abandonment: AT last he
secured a revolver and going to the
Pearl street resort where the Patten
woman was located, he shot her dead.
