KERR MAY GO HOME.
Governor Bailey Takes Ten Days OFF
His Sentence.

Governor Bailey has committed the
last ten days of the sentence OF Erwin
Kerr, a young man who is serving a
sentence of two years at Lansing for
! granddaughter. It is done so that the
boy can get home to spend Christmas.
Kerr is the son of Rev. James Kerr,
the late Prohibition candidate Tor
governor, and one of the best known
Methodist ministers of the northwest,
a man of irreproachable character.
The story of the boys Incarceration is
one of extreme hard luck.
The boy was employed by FARMER
near his home at Ada Ottawa county,
two years ago. Another man had
quarrel with his employer, and one day
as young Kerr was driving along the
road on a hay rack, the man included
the boy in his quarrel. He started to
climb on to the hay rack, and young
Kerr, thinking the man intended to 90
him violence, struck him on the mead
with the handle of a pitchfork. Con-
cussion of the brain followed and the
man died. Young Kerr was arrested
for manslaughter, and as the state
proved that he used more force than was
necessary in protecting himself, he was
convicted of manslaughter in the third
degree.
His sentence would have expired during
the holidays. A few days ago Rev. Mr..
Kerr came to Topeka, accompanied by j.
T. White, represent ative-elect from OF
commute the young mans sentence 50
that he could go home on December "A
and spend Christmas at home Governor
Bailey promptly granted the request.

Kirwin, Kan, Dec. 10.-Word has been
received here of the destruction of fire
Of the country home of Chas. Smith,
situated on Bow creek, in Rocks county.

body being horribly burned, lived only
short time, while two others are SO
badly burned they cannot recover, one
of whom bod her eyes burned out.
