FREED
eErs UNCONDITIONAL PARDON
Pardon Board Extends Cismsney to
the Slayer Of Fnsd Womaek On
the Radcliffe Estate in Gun
nison County.

Denver, Nov. 21.-The state pardons
board last Friday granted an uncondi-
tional pardon to Frank A. Mahaney Of
Gunnison county. and finally closed one
of the sensational murder cases In the
history of Colorado.
William Radcliffe. an Englishman,
owned and maintained large private
game and nsh preserves In Gunnison
said to be half-breed Indian. was in
the employ Of Radcliffe. He shot and
killed Fred Womack, q citizen Of the
county. who was pOaching on the Rad
clifRe estate.
Shortly after the murder Radcliffe's
country home and much Of his prop
erty was raxed by mob of ranchmen
and residents OF the surrounding coun-
try. The case was taken up between
the United States and British govern
ments. Radcliffe was awarded $4,000
for losses sustained at the hands of the
mob.
The consideration of the Mahoney
case by the pardons board attracted
much public interest. Seven of the
jurors who convicted Mahaney. to-
gether with fifty business men of the
county and many of the residents Of
Fruita. Mahaney's home town signed
the petition for his pardon. 1t was
pointed out that Womack had threat
ened Mahaney's life on numerous oc-
casions and that he had been repeat
edly warned against his practice Of
poaching. Other extenuating circum-
stances were cited to the board. After
remaining in session for half the day
the unconditional pardon was granted.
The property owned by Radcliffe in
Gunnison was one of the most beauti-
full mountain residences In the state.
The grounds embraced a number Of
beautiful lakes and hills. Game and
fish abounded. Radcliffe was seldom
at the place and the natives were op-
posed to him because he refused all
requests for permission to hunt and
fish on the estate.
Many of the residents OF the county,
according to testimony introduced at
the trial. were in the habit of poach-
ing on the Radcliffe premises. Rad
cliffe hired Mahaney and others to
guard his property. Mahaney held q
deputy sheriff's commission. He claims
that Womack was the most persistent
of all the poachers. He had been or
dered from the premises several times
Mahaney came upon Womack one
afternoon early In the year 1902. He
was fishing In one OF the lakes and re-
fused to move. An encounter followed
In which Womack was shot dead.
Popular opinion Immediately sided
with Womack. For time it was
feared that Mahaney would be lynched.
Within short time after the shooting
mob raided the premises of Rad
cliffe.
After a sensational trial Mahaney
was sentenced to five years In the PEN
itentiary ON April 26, 1903. He served
about year In the county Jail before
his trial.

Pay the Printer.

The publisher of the Expositor is
adverse to the practice Of dunning sub
scribers through the columns of the
paper and for this reason a number of
statements will be sent out through the
mails within the next few weeks.
In adding a new gasoline engine,
shafting, pulleys, betting, newspaper
and job type, also preparing for an all
home print and making other decided
improvements about our newspaper
plant, it has taken a mint of money.
To meet our obligations promptly we
must insist that subscribers pay up
promptly. The label on each paper
sent out from this Office shows the date
to when the subscription is paid If
those who are in arrears would rather
not have statement sent to their ad-
dresses, a good way is to come in with
out delay and settle their arrearages.
This would also save us the trouble and
expense of sending statement.
1t will be the earnest endeavor of the
publisher during the next year to make
The EXpositor all that the term news
paper implies, but this cannot be ac-
complished by us alone. Therefore we
solicit the united efforts of every friend
and subscriber to the EXpositor.

The Capac Fair.

The first day of the fair broke bright
and beautiful and was devoted to max
ing entries and arranging exhibits.
Every class was represented and the
display was good The following dis
plays were extra fine:- Ferguson's herd
of ID shorthorns, also l.. T. Chambers
herd of Aberdeen Angus Among the
sheep we noticed a fine Shropshire be-
longing to James Sterling, of Lynn.
On the second and third days the
crowds were large. Both days opened
with threatening weather but proved
just the right temperature to draw out
the crowds.
Besides the horse racing each day
there were exhibition games of basket
ball between teams known as the Reds
and Blues.
The base ball game between Rich
mond and Capac was one of the pret-
tiest exhibitions ever seenin the village,
Capac winning 3 to 2. Batteries, Nc
LaughlIn and Daniels for Capac, Sweet
and Sutton for Richmond.
Thursdays bal game was even better
than the one the previous day. The
contest was between the Acme Quail
ties, of Detroit, and the tapac nine.
For seven innings there were shut-outs
for each side, then the Acme's made 3
scores and the Capac's /. Such was the
score at the end Of the ninth innings.
The candidates for Office were greatly
in evidence and everyone had the
privilege of smoking campaign cigars
or receiving the glad hand.
The publisher of The EXpositor ac-
companied Sheriff Davidson to Capac
on Wednesday and was in his charge
during the day. We found him to be a
very genial, whole-souled gentleman
and came to the conclusion that should
anyone be unfortunate enough to be

The beauty of Words.

The beauty of Words.
But though poetry is rhythm in
words. yet words themselves as in
dividuals. are not poetry Many years
ago in the old village of Ayr. nigh un-
to the banks of the "Bonnie Doom" |
heard an old Scotchnian recite John
Anderson. My 10. John" and other
poems of the great lyric poet until the
tears rained down his cheeks. and I
thought those poems were the sweet
est words ever composed by man. But
the words Burns used in his poems.
and William Shakespeare used in his
poems, and I.ongfcllow used in his
poems and Whittier and Holmes and
Lowell and Bayard Taylor used in
their poems. were for the most part
only the simple words we use in ev
eryday life by our own fircsides. The
beauty of these poets words are en-
tircly due To their juXtapoSition with
their surrounding words. The words
which express our thoughts. our pas
sionS. on. emotions. may not he beau
tiful in themselves. but if they are
brought into rhythm with Gods words
they not only becpiAc poetry. but they
become beautiful. for then our thoughts
as words are in symmetry with Gods
thoughts.
But perhaps we have fingered al
ready too long among the artists and
the architects and the poets to find
mans spiritual beauty by being in
symmetry with Coils thoughts. Per-
haps after all we can clinch the truth
of our text best by Il short running
comment upon Il few of the verses
which prccc,le the words. lie hath
made everything beautiful in its time"
God says that man is beautiful when
he is born. oh. yes. That means
when man Isl born for Christ. But is
man beautiful when he is born for sin?
