Harvey Shull, formely CHIEF
clerk to the master mechanic al

Topeka last Tuesday morning. OF
lung trouble, aged twenty seven
years. Mr.. Shull was for a long
time connected with the Santa Fe,
having held position in Mr..
Players Office in Topeka for a
number OF years before coming to
La Junta. He succeeded {. A.
Beerbohm as chief clerk to Master
Mechanic Forster in 1897, and held
the position until c. M. Taylor
was installed as master mechanic.
His sickness has been extended
and his death was not altogether
unexpected. The funeral took place

New Superintendent Probable.

Some changes in local Santa
Fee circles are liable to take place
as result of the death Of William
g. Nevin, general manager OF the
lines west OF Albuquerque on the
Santa Fe. General Superinten-
dent Hurley, Of the western grand
division, with headquarters at La
unta. is regarded as being next
in line for the position on account
of his familiarity with the coast
lines, he having taken Mr.. Nevin's
place while the latter was on a six
months leave Of absence in search
of health.
In the event of Mr.. Hurley s
acceptance Of the position, r. l..
Parker, Of Pueblo, present super
intendent Of the Santa Fe and the
Colorado Southern Joint lines be-
tween Pueblo and Denver, will
probably be promoted to the po-
sition OF superintendent Of the
western grand division, with head
quarters at La unta. 1t is prob
able that the appointm ents will be
made at an early date, as Mr.. Ne

affect the cigar trade, especially
on blustery days like we have been

nnniber of men you see smoking
on the street some calm, clear day,
and then note the difference when
one of our Colorado sand storms

because of this. It's all we'll

There was q new dog in town

on his back and looked like he

e.ms'., s.rso".s BY tn. Governor.

Sheriff Barr was somewhat sur
prised last Wednesday morning
by receiving an executive order
from Governor Orman giving an
unconditional pardon to one John
Brooks, who was convicted in the
county court at the January term
OF being common gambler, and
sentenced by Judge Miller to term
OF six months in the county Jail
and to pay fine OF 5000. The
unconditional PARDON" signed
by James b. Orman, governor.
reads as follows:
"a petition numerously signed
by prominent citizens and tax
payers Of Otero county has been
presented to me in behalf Of ohm
Brooks, who was on or about the
9th day of January, convicted Of
OF the offense Of being a common
gambler and sentenced to a term
OF six months in the county Jail
and to pay fine of 5000. Said
petition recites that the prisoner
has a wife and four children and is
without money or property. 1t
appears further that at the time OF
the trial and conviction of said
Brooks he had no means with
which to employ an attorney to
defend him. The petition closes
with request that pardon be
granted.
"ln view OF the fact set forth in
the petition. / am inclined to
think that the case IS one which
warrants executive clemency. 1t is
therefore ordered that the said
John Brooks be and Is hereby
pardoned OF and for the said Of
tense; and. further, that the
sheriff of Otero county discharge
the said Brooks from further GUS
tody upon the receipt of this
order"
In compliance with the above
order Sheriff Barr released Brooks
from the county Jail last Wednes-
day morning, and he probably re-
turned to Rocky Ford to resume
his former occupation. The par
don was secured without the
knowledge or consent OF the trial
Judge, the sheriff, the district at
torney or any OF the peace officers,
which of itself is very unusual
method Of procedure. Instead
Of securing information from re-
liable sources the governor took it
for granted that all the alleged
iacts recited in the petition were
true.
AS matter OF fact the court ap-
pointed an attorney to defend
Brooks, who made hard fight in
his defense. The allegation, by
Inference, that he has a wife
and four children in Rocky Ford
is not true. He has a wife in
Baum county, Kansas, but she has
not been receiving any support
from him. Brooks came to Rocky
Ford in 1900 and "worked" there
for some time as q "booster" for
. gambling game. 1t is alleged
that one of our local attorneys re-
ceived a fee of $Ioo for using his
influence with the governor to Sc
cure the pardon.
The district attorney and peace
officers were about to commence
proceedings against q number Of
Rocky Ford and La Junta gam
blers, aud make them show cause
for being ON earth without visible
ueans OF support. They have nos
about concluded that it would no,
b wise to put Oteso county to the
espense Of securing convictions Is
lsag = Governor Orman remains

state Of Calosado.

wHIsTLER's SUDDEN DEATH.
After Hearty Dinner He Fell Down
and Lost Use of Limbs.

Guthrie o. r, Dec 13-The Edmond
Enterprise gives the following on the sud-
den death of r. NJ. Whistler, a well
known cattleman and farmer:
Mr.. Whistler ate hearty dinner and,
in company with the two hired hands
went out TO his cattle. The cattle were
brought up to the corral about sundoYn.
and Mr.. Whistler ran TO the house to get
d hammer and staple to fix a fence. As
he stepped upon the porch, he gave way.
His sister-in-law, Marth Estes, saw him
fall and went 10 him. He said he would
get up in minute as soon as he got the
use of his legs; but he never recovered
the use of arms or limbs The hired men
We're called and he was carried into the
house His brother, VIM. Whistler was
sent for and the stricken man was rub
he'd and bathed. He said that there was
20 use getting a doctor as he would be
all right as soon as he got warm and that
if he was not we'll by morning it would be
time to send for a doctor. He was per-
fectly helpless, but conscious as he was
addressed and put in bed Toward mid
night his talk was so thick that he could
not be understood. Soon after midnight
his breathing was by gasps and he passed
away about 1880
