 Globe Belt: The genial Geo. T.
 Peter, of Tonto, is in town, circulat- ing among his friends. He is, if possi- bly,, in a happier frame of mind than usual on account of the favorable con- ditions for cattle in his section this season. The range was never better and stock of all kinds is fat. His nephew, Dave, las returned from Phoenix where he delivered 300 head of steers and cows, sold at good prices.
 Stockman; w, F.. Frances, of Kan sas, was in Deming, N. M, from Fri day of last week until Wednesday of this week with no head of Hereford bulls, high grade and pure breed, which he offered for sale. As the ranchers of southern New Mexico have been buying new aud better blood for some years, 1t is quite likely that Mir. Francis found a ready de mand for his stock. It seems some- what strange that Hereford bulls from Arizona are taken to Kansas for sale. while Kansas bulls are brought to tue southwest for the same purpose. All this Is doubtless very pleasant to the railroads.
 Stockman r. J. Daniels, manager of the c. c. c. outfit in Cochise coun- ty, was in Tombstone last week to confer with his employer, Hon. J. V. Vickers, who was spending a few days, io the old city which for many years was his former home. Mr. Dan- iels reported very little feed on the ranges, but said that cattle seemed to be doing very we'll anyway. Mir. Ddn- iels resides with his family at the old Hudson ranch, for some years the pro- perty and home of our enterprislng druggist, T. F. Hudson. MT. Hudson was cattle baron in the lively days of the latter eighties, to quit, like many others-practically broke, to begin life over again.
 Stockman: MT. J. E. Bark spent Wednesday night in the city, to take to the country again the next morn ing. Jim is one of the busiest men in the valley these days, attending to the many cattle which they have pur- chased for ship nent into this valley. His firm-Bark & Griswell, together with Goldman & Co.,, have purchased about l2,000 head of cattle on the ranges to the northward, all to be shipped to this valley. The number may run to l5,000 before they are through. The cattle come mostly, from the valleys about Kirkland and Skull Valley, and ranges to the west of that section, and generally speak ing, the parties selling are going out of the business. The pure hasers have sold about 5000 of their purchases the balance of the cattle to be placed on pasture to be matured into beef, unless they should receive an offer for any of the stuff that would be accept

Case .DismisSed.

Yesterday afternoon before Justice of
the Peace Fitzpatrick occurred the hear
ing of the two boys, Loup and Yous-
lin, who were arrested Thursday at Lit
tie Washington on warrants issued at the
instance of Samuel Broverman, charging
them with stealing shoes. During the
hearing 1t was brought out that the boys
peddled for BroverTnan, but as he paid
them nothing and it was alleged did not
provide them with proper food. they left
and decided to try their fortunes else
where. The boys stated that since they
had been with Broverman they had been
allowed to take shoes when their old ones
wore out. When they left his employ
however. he accused them of stealing
shoes. The case aroused much indigna-
ton, and Squire Fitzpatrick dismissed the
case at the cost of the complainant The
boys were given 50 each by a Hebrew
friend and sent to Pttsbug.

county, to two years confinement, upon
conviction of unlawful cutting. He
slightly cut one Garfield Allen, called
Soup" Perkins. Hollinger seems to
have borne an excellent reputation.
He was a quiet, sober. industrious and
orderly citizen, according to the state
ments of a large number Of persons,
among whom are many prominent OFF,
Gals of Wood county. On the other
hand, Allen was very bad man. lie
was abusive, quarrelsome, and trouble
some, and spent most of his time in
Jail on various charges. However, II
there was nothing in the case but the
standing between the two men, Hol-
linger would not receive favorable ac-
ton of this board. Bad as Allen may
have been, Hollinger would not have
been justified in cutting him for that
reason.
Hollinger confessed to the charge OF
unlawful cutting, the State waving the
charge of malicious cutting, and Hol-
linger, 1t seems, confessed with an I'M
derstanding that he would be punished
for q misdemeanor only. There seems
to be a decided sentiment In Wood
county in favor of Hoilinger. His par
don is urged by a large number OF
prominent people, among whom are
Judge John J. Jackson, Judge Lewis N.
Tavener. and many others, and a num-
Der OF letters and affidayits are fled in
support of the pardon. There is no
opposition to it, so far as the papers
disclose.
In view OF all the facts and circum-
stances of the case. we recommend that
Hollinger be pardoneod.
At the September term, 1899, of the
circuit court Of Wetzel county, William
Mayfield and Slas stephens were in
dicted for the robbery of nan by the
name of Daugherty. Mayfeld was tried,
found guilty as charged. and on the
20th of January, 1900, senteneed to the
penitentiary for six FSzE His pardon
is asked ON the grouns6% former good
reputation, the insuftieiency of the evil
denee to convict, his inability to employ
counsel to make proper defense, and the
intoxication of Daugherty, which rem
dered him unable to identify anyone
who was with him.
We have given very careful attention
to this case, and the effort to secure
favorable action on Mayfeld's behalf
has been very diligent and earnest.
Without entering into a discussion of
the grounds upon which the pardon is
asked, we conclude that they are wholly
insufficient upon which to advise the
pardon of Mayfeld amounting merely
to Mayfeld's side of the case upon
which the jury that tried him passed
and found against him, the judge who
presided evidently coneurring.
We therefore, advise that pardon be
refused said William Mayfield.
The board took recess until August
2Sth to enable the members further
to examine and consider some import
ant cases. A few days more session
and the body will be up with its work.

The intense quiet of the past few
days continued in the labor situation
yesterday. The men are working ener-
getically to strengthen their already
strong organization. Colored men, Slays,
Bohemians and Italians are being initi-
ated into the order.
A well attended meeting of the lodge
was held yesterday afternoon at which
T. J. Davis presided and maze spicy
address, He spoke of the breadth Of
the organization, its purpose, its hopes
and its fears, the object of the strike
and what they hoped to gain. He said:
Notwithstanding the threat of the Of
fieials to run the mills nen-union, the
men are gaining aaily."
Vice President Larkin spoke again
to-day, and those who heard him claim
that it was the best and most effect
i've effort that he has ever made since
the strike began.
A colored glassworkev. A. Lowden by
name, addressed the association for
about forty-fve minutes. He is pleas
ant talker, and was well received by the
membership. He said In opening his
address:
For years the doors Of the Amalga-
mated Association have been closed to
the colored man, but I am proud to see
that they are now endeavoring to place
the black man on the same footing as
the whites"
He also stated that he considered
1t the duty Of every eolored man en-
ployed in the steel mills to embrace
the opportunity now presented to ally
himself to an organization that would
protect his interests.
One of the first colored men to enroll
is a linguistic phenomenon. lie acted
as Interpreter for the foreigners that
were obligated. He speaks five langu-
ages fuently. and is valuable man to
the lodge, as he can explain to the for
eigners all the workings of the organi-
cation.
The furnacemen to the number of fl
ty-six were admitted yesterday into the
association.
The last open meeting of the lodge
will be held to-day at 8 D. m.
The rumor that the works would be
shut down for six months, strike or no
strike, WAS denied by Superintendent
Mcdonald, in conversation with a Reg
lister reporter yesterday. His opinion
of the Register has not changed bit,
but he gave the reporter two or three
excellent items just the same, for which
we are truly thankful. He is gen
tleman, and says what he has to say
openly, for which we admire him.
The company will pay its men in full
next Tuesday, and take up all admis-
sion checks. About twenty-five men
will be kept about the mill, mostly la
borers, on repair and cheap work.

authorities telephoned to this city for the

of Charles Stephens. who was wanted
there for burglary. The police complied
with the request and were rewarded by
Officer Miller arresting the man. The
Steubenville authorities were notified. but
sent word back to release him, as they
had not evidence sufficient to prefer a
charge against him.

The Advisory Board of Pardonsi
which has been in session at the Peni-
Tertiary since Wednesday, has adjourn
ed until August %. Before adjourning
the board made recommendations IN
the following cases:
H. v. Cunningham having been con-
victed in the Circuit Court of Pendieton
county upon charge of grand larceny,
was, on the 10th day of November, 1879,
sentenced to five years imprisonment
The offense for which Cunningham
was convicted was committed more
than fifteen years before his trial, and
it appears that the prosecution against
him was not long pending. The prison.
er's pardon is urged by large number
of persons and resisted by some. The
case is involved in more complication
and confusion than any other which
has been before this board for long
time. Any number of Imaginable
questions are raised and contested.
The matter of Cunningham guilt APP
pears to be retired in the case. The
credit of large number of witnesses
is attacked and sustained. and Mr.. Gun
ningham's reputation is also In contro-
yersy. The case is filled with petitions
letters and a1idavits expressing belief
in the guilt or innocence of Cunning
ham.
This much is plain, that Cunningham
was convicted of larceny committed
fifteen years, eight months and twenty
seven days before his conviction, and
nearly that long before he was indicted.
AS he was convicted on cireumstantlal
evidence which, it appears, was not re-
markably strong and conclusive, 1t
seems to us as though there might be
considerable doubt as to his guilt.
No reasons are shown as to why the
prosecution of Cunningham for his al
q time. 1t certainly follows herein,
that there must have been more doubt
than would ordinarily be the case in a
criminal trial on account of the lapse
of so many years. In this connection,
1t may be well to consider the protest
of the gentlemen who were robbed, fill
ed in the papers with this application.
Peaas.-;.> M Re IS Joshua Day. and ne
makes very vigorous statements There
are charges made in the case of i'm
proper inducements held out by him
to witnesses in order to get them to
testify against Cunningham. To this |
we do not attach any special import
anee, but the utterances of Mr.. Day are
calculated to somewhat convince that
having imbibed the idea that Cunning
ham is guilty, he was extraordinarily
anxious to have him convicted Unfor-
tunately for his position, he does not
state in his protest the facts on which
he bases his somewhat extreme posi-
ton 1t may be that the vigor of his
attack, so to speak, on Cunningham
may have had undue influence in secur-
ing a conviction on what seemed to be,
as nearly as we can take in the situa-
ton, somewhat meager evidence.
Cunningham is becoming advanced in
years, and from the statements under
oath and oral testimony of the prison
physician and his assistants, he is in
bad Health.
considering all the facts and ercum-
Stances of the case, and especially the
condition of Cunningham health, we
recommend that he be pardoned upon
such condition as the Governor may see
proper to impose.
