Working in The Interest of old

A dispatch from Boise, Idaho, says:
John Sparks, Governor-elect of Neva-

Field" Jack Davis, who was formerly
in his employ and whose case has oc-
cupied a place in the public mind for
i've and half years. Davis was SEN
fenced to death for the murder of
John C. Wilson and Peamie Cummings
sheepmen, in Cassia county, In 1896,
his CONVICTION having been secured in
April, 1897. Since then there has
been a determined fight to save him.
After everything had failed two men
came forward claiming they did the
killing in self defense. One of them
was tried and acquitted.
Mr.. Sparks, himself, told the Gov
ernor, in supprot of the plea for elem
ency, that j. E. Bowers, one Of his SUI
perintendents, who, it is claimed, was
connected with the killing told him the
story a few days after the tragedy, but
that it was deemed advisable to keep
it secret.
The former administration refused
to Interfere, but the presnt one com
muted the sentence to life imprison
ment. Now a further Communication
