ED FOX IS PARDONED WHITE CONVICT OF BARBOUR GETS FREEDOM.
  Sent, lip for Five Years on Conviction of Grand Iarceny-Grave Doubt as to His
 fsufft.

Ed Fox. a white convict who was sent to the penitentiary from Barbour County, was yesterday given a pardon by Governor Jelks on account of his poor health and on account of the recommendation of the Board of Pardons that there Is doubt of the mans guilt.
 Fox was convicted of grand larceny May 26, 1903, by the Circuit Court of Barbour County and his sentence was for five years.
 It is alleged that Fox has been the victim of misguiding suspicion. He and two other young men In Eufaula were together near Christmas time in tho year named when one of the three named Joiner was relieved of some money amounting in all to about $40. Fox and the other man were arrested charged with the theft. They both defaulted his bord and has not been heard from since. Fox went to trial and was convicted on what is claimed to have been uaconvinci1g testimony.
 Much of the term of Imprisonment has been served by Fox and as the pun ishment was cor sidered as rather ex- cessive the pardon was granted Fox is ir poor health. the opinion of the most Loreful being that to remain much longer in the penitentiary would mean a'cuick end to his life.
 The endorsement Of ths Governor in the case is as follows:
 The Board of Pardons recommends clemency, stating he is in bad health,' that 1t is in doubt as to his guilt, and feel that in any event the sentence was excessive

 vWnrkM

The City Engineers Department yes terday received notice of the arrival in Montgomery of the large new pumI to be installed in the pumping station as one of the essentials of equipment in the extension of the water works system of the city.
 The pump has capacity of 5000 00C gallons of water daily and this, to- gether with the pump now in service will give the pumping station a total capacity of 13.O0O. 900 gallons.
 The new apparatus Is a tremendously heavy piece of machinery. It was loaded on Ave flat cars and took sev- eral weeks in transportation.
 The contract for the pump was awarded the Allis Chalmer Company of Milwaukee about seven months ago at a cost of S20,76o. It Is now being un- loaded from the cars and will be in- stalled as soon as representative of the manufacturers arrive.
 The delay in the delivery of the pump was caused by the delay in the completion of the foundation on which it is to be placed.

TIMBER
BURNS

LEWISTON, Idaho, Aug. 9.-The
forest fires in the Pierce City and
the North Fork country are reported
to be spreading. The patrol estab-
lished by the timber company and the
state land agent has not been able to
control the fires and call has been
made for more assistance.
Attorney A. l.. Morgan of Orofino.
who was in the city yesterday and
who is in d position to know the ex-
act condition, based on the latest re-
ports, said last evening:
There is a fierce forest fire, just
broken out, in section 20, township
80. range east, but if men are sent
there Immediately it can probably be
controlled without great loss to the
various interests. There is consid-
cradle state land in this township
and, as it is heavily timbered sec
ton. it behooves the interested
parties to take the matter up at once.
The state has already indicated that
everything will be done possible TO
take care of the situation, and If the
individual holders will lend united
support the damage will be held down
to a minimum"
