Guthrie, O. r., Jan. 21.-Friends OF
the prisoner are petitioning Gov.
r. b. Ferguson to pardon Charley
West. an Usage Indian boy, who is
serving term of three years in the
penitentiary for horse stealing. West
has served over year of his term
Under the laws, as governing the
Usage Nation, which is attached TO
Pawnee county for judicial purposes,
horse stealing in that nation, when
committed by an Indian, is punisha-
Bile under the territorial laws, which
gives a minimum sentence OF one
year or maximum of five years
I'm the penitentiary; on the other
uand if q white man commits such an
act in the Usage country, ne is pun
ishable under the federal laws, which
impose a punishment of but one year

The Indian thus gets the worst of
it, and this is made one Of the prin-
cipal arguments 10 the governor, as
presented by the boys attorney The
other strong argument is that Vests

cerated longer will surely die Of con
sumption.

A German firm has completed a
searchliGht that is said to be the lurg-
est in the world. Some idea of the
great illuminating power OF this in
strument may be gagged from the fact
that 1t is of 31G,00O,0OO candle power.
If 1t were possible to set the giant up
on q hill or tower 800 feet high its
rays could be easily detected seventy
or eighty miles away. Indeed, II Is
almost impossible to tell how far its
rays could penetrate. as no actual
demonstration has been made. The
searchllght is fitted with an Iris shut
ter. 1t has a diameter of six feet six
inches and was adopted In order 10
make the protector light-tight ut any
moment desired. 1t is operated f.
much the same way as shutter in
modern cameras. The leaves of the
shutter slide with fixed diaphragm
located in the axis Of the rGy of light.
The whole device Is electrically con.
trolled by two levers. One of these
| controls the motor mounted in tie base
Of the searchlight, which operates the
protector in vertical direction through
a train of gears; the other starts or
| stops the electric motor which controls
the horizontal movement of the beam
of light. The same firm built tie CO..
