 jOurned to September and Sheriff Shanley and deputies last week took
 eight convicts to the pen, among them

 pleaded guilty to murder and who
 were sentenced to imprisonment for
 life. Zack Booth was resentenced to
 death. The date of his execution was
 fixed for Wednesday, August 16, and

 to bring his case into the circuit court
 of the United States.
 JAILED TWO-Oficer Moore jailed
 two men yesterday morning on the
 charge of drunkenness and disorderly conduct. When the officer was sum-
 moned from the Redlight it was sup

He took the patrol wagon with him and arriving was told that two men then crossing a vacant lot were the disturbers, that they had been making a rough house and threatening to shoot people generally. They finally departed on the way, heaving rock at a lightfOOted Chin
 aman who managed to dodge it sue Cessfully. When the culprits were captured the only arms found was pocket knife about the size of a tooth pick They were seemingly very wick ed but not very dangerous men.
