there will be no conflict. H. NJ. Hogg,
the present congressman, will be re-
nominated, and a compromise with
the Wolcott men for delegates to the
national convention will doubtless re-
suit in Judge Northcutt of Trinidad
and Phil Stewart of Colorado Springs

PENALTY
IS TOO
SEVERE

Governor Chamberlain is in re.
ceipt of a petition from Wheeler coun.
ty, signed by all the county officers
and many of the leading people of that
section, urging the pardon of two
young men, b. b. Deford and Alva
Morley, serving terms Of two years
each In the penltentiary for the crime
of larceny. The two men were con.
victed of stealing a Quirt, valued at rs
cents. District Attorney Frank Meme.
fee, of The Dalles, in transmitting the
petition to the governor, writes a
strong endorsement Of the appeal for
clemency, stating that the two pris
oners were prosecuted for the crime
of larceny, after they had acted as
witnesses for the defense in case
wherein a friend Of theirs was being
prosecuted for stealing wheat, and II
was supposed that they had perjured
themselves in that case; that they had
received a much harder sentence than
the offense warranted, and that they
had now been sufficiently punished for
their misdeeds, If indeed they were
guilty, Reading between the lines Of
Mr.. Menefees letter, II seems that the
two men were convicted and sent TO
the penitentiary "on general princl.
pies" and that the people OF Wheeler
county are now satisfied of the good
intentions OF the boys for the future.

DAISIES

Bennie Stanton a boy living in
East Salem, was last night arrested
with a stolen bicycle in his possession.
The wheel was that of r. c. Dickey,
and was stolen from in front of the
Davenport cigar store three months
ago, and last night Mr.. Dickey found
It in the same rack. Watching about
the place, he found young Stanton,
who claimed the wheel, and, on Mr..
Dickey's complaint, he was arrested.
He claimed to have found the wheel
in Wilson avenue. This morning Re
corder Judah investigated the affair,
and found that, at the time stated,
Stanton had advertised the finding of
the wheel in The Journal, and, on this
showing, he was promptly released.
That the wheel was stolen there is no
doubt but it is evident that Stanton is
not the guilty boy, as his act in ad'
vertising the wheel when he found 1t,
clears him of all suspicion in con.
nection with the theft.
