an opportunity to strengthen their tes-

The one was Elizabeth Courtney

MINERS SET FREE
BY ROOSEVELT
West Virginia Prisoners Given
Thor Liberty by the
President.

Washington, d. c., Oct. H.-The
president has commuted to expire i'm
mediately the sentences Of Marion
Marshall, Cyrus Raines and Burton
Harper, coal miners, who were convict
ed In West Virginia of resisting a
United States deputy marshal. They
were sentenced on June II, 1908, Mar
shall and Harper to Imprisonment for
eight months and Raines to imprison-
ment for five months in the Raleigh
county jail
The pardons are granted on the rec
concentrations of the district attorney
and Judge and the deputy marshal who
was resisted. In which recommends
tions the attorney general concurred,
for the main reason that five other CO.
defendants who were jointly indicted
and pleaded guilty received sentences
Of only three months and have already
been discharged. A further reason for
pardon is on account of Ill health of
the prisoners and the unsanitary con-
dition of the jail where they are con-
fined.

Rroken-

The motorman on the Canton-New
Philadelphia car which arrived in this
city Tuesday night about 8 o'clock,
was Mortified when about two miles
north of Navarro to see the figure of a
man lying upon the track. The car
was going at high rate of speed and
was close upon the man. The motor
man put on the emergency air brake
and the car was stopped so suddenly
that the passengers were thrown out
of their seats. 1t was the largest car
upon the Canton-New Philadelphia line
and its weight so great that 1t was with
difficulty controlled. The car did not
stop, however, until it had struck the
figure upon the track, and Mortified
conductor, motorman and a number of
frightened passengers sprang out and
rushed forward to ascertain what in
juries had been sustained by the unfor-
tunate one.
| Investigation showed that the man
was a wooden dummy which had been
dressed up and placed upon the track
by some miscreants, who, the train
men say, ought to be in the peniten-
tiary. One leg Of the dummy was brok-
en-, and it was gathered up and brought
to Canton as a souvenir.

LOU DILLON
Won With Great Ease
From Major Delmar
at Mem phtS.

Memphis, Tenn, Oct. 21.-What was
expected to be one of the greatest har-
ness horse contests in local history
proved to be a very tame affair Tues
day, when Lou Dillon gave Major Del
mar decisive beating In two straight
heats in ordinary time.
The two-minute trotters met in the
second renewal of the Memphis gold
cup. Ideal weather conditions pre-
vailed and the track was in perfect
shape. Fully $1,000 people were in at
tendance when the two champions,
driven by their owners, Messrs. Bill
ings and Smathers, appeared upon the
track for the first heat. Mr.. Billings
won the pole on the toss of a coin.
Starter Newton gave the word GO"
at the first attempt and Lou Dillon
imme diately forged to the front and
seemingly without effort opened up a
gap of three lengths, which advantage
she held to the end. winning in an
easy jog.
In the second heat Major Delmar
broke badly at the first eighth pole, al
lowing the daughter of Sidney Dillon
to assume lead of 20 lengths. Turn
ing into the stretch Mr. Billings, realiz-
ing that he had the race at his mercy
pulled the mare up and won by eigh,
lengths. Both heats were trotted in
2:O4%. 1t was the general opinion that
had the mare been pushed in the race
she could have equaled her great per-
formance at Readyille, when she made
the circuit in two minutes.
The race was for gold cup valued
at $1,000. There was very little betting
on the race as the wise ones expected
Lou Dillon to win.
