M. o. Hollenbeck was released from
from the penitentiary at Canon City
July 8th on full and unconditional
pardon. Hollenbeck was a partner of
James Brannon. who was released from
the prison last fall. Both men were
convicted in Chaffee county for MUIR
der and sentenced to the penitentiary
for life. Evidence against them was
purely circumstantial. the facts in the
case being that Hollenbeck, Brannon
and a third man were in company one
day in 1886 in Buena Vista. Shortly
afterward the remains of the third par
ty were found beside the railway
track, circumstances pointing strongly
to foul play, and Hollenbeck and Bran
non were arrested. convicted by a jury
and sentenced to the penitentiary.
They were incarcerated on October l.
1886. Brannon was pardoned. last fall
and went south. Hollenbeck always
claimed he was innocent of any COM
plicity In the crime and brooded over
his enforced confinement until his rea-
son became unbalanced. He started at
once for Des Moines, Iowa, where he
will be cared for by rlatives.

Gives His own Experience AZ an EN-
pIoye in the Railroad shops
Couldn't Afford 20 be sick.
Mr.. A. c. Holmes, OF oneonta, N. Y,
an employee Of the railroad shops at that
place, is we'll known in labor circles and
his own experience, recently related, de-
serves the attention Of every working
man who has lost time and money on ac-
count Of sickness. Mr.. Holmes said:
o Two years ago l had a severe attack of
grip which left me in a bad condition. l
was SO weak that l frequently had to lay
of for two or three days at a time during
a period OF four or five months. l could
not very we'll afford to do this but there
was no help for It'll simply was not able
to work. l lost flesh, got nervous, had
awful headaches and felt worn out all the
time.
- had read Of som remarkable cures
made by DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People in cases like mine and so decided
to try them. A few boxes helped me and
1 think 1 took ten altogether. They drove
all traces Of the disease out Of my sys-
tenn and made me feel like a different man.
I have told many of my acquaintance
they did for me-"

ways left behind some troublesome effects.
Often these are worse than the disease
itself and seem to bahie all efforts of ply
sicians. Health Is shattered-the blood be-
comes poor. the flesh falls away, the suf-
ferer grows nervous and irritable, and even
slight exertion causes %shortness Of breath.
These are dangerous symptoms and indi-
cate that the system is in a state that In
vites pneumonia, bronchitis or even con-
sumption. DR.. williams Pink Pills for
Pale People, however, will not only quick
ly restore the health after an attack OF
the grip, and expel the lingering germs
but, working upon the blood, will render
the system proof against the disease. In
hundreds Of cases just as remarkable as
that Of Mr.. Holmes, It has been shown that
DR.. Williams Pink Pills have surely ac-
complished this result.

Convict Labor Debate.

The question Of convict labor was too
much for the Board Of Public Lands and
Buildings today, and after hearing more
arguments on both sides, and after consid-
ering the evidence % some extent, the
board adjourned, TO meet again tomorrow
afternoon to make a final settlement.
From the action of the board today It
begins to look as though Warden Davis
will lose out on his contract and the Lee
Broom and Buster company will get all the
convicts II can use Cor the broom and
duster business, though tomorrow a differ
emit front may be taken by some members
Of the board, Member Mortensen moved
that Warden Beemer be instructed to al
low Mr.. Davis a sufficient number Of con-
victs to conduct his button business. But
there was no second to the motion. Mr..
Mortensen explained that Mr.. Davis would
only require about ten or twelve men, but
the board preferred to wait until tomorrow
and then make a final report Of the matter.
Mortensen feels sure that Mr.. Davis will
be granted at least a few OF the c~onvicts.
He is opposed to granting a monopoly OF
the convict labor to any one hrm or com
pany and he believes that the board will
think the same way by tomorrow.
