LrET. GEN. sAcHARoFF KILLED.

Special to The Sentinel.
ST. Petersburg, Dec. Lieutenant
General Sacharoff late war minister,
was assassinated Tuesday. A female
revolutionist called at the generals
residence at Scratch and when admit
ted to his presence, fred three shots
at him, killing him instantly. The
news has created a profound impress
sion in st. Petersburg. owing to the
fear that the Revolutionists here will
follow the example thus set. News of
the assassination of Sacharon was
preceded by the most terrific tales
of the manner in which Sacharoff
was threatening the agrarian revolu-
tionists. He corralled peasants with
Cossacks and then had them beaten
with soldiers whips. When the
woman who committed the crime
was arrested, she declared that she
had executed the decree of the So
cial revolutionists.

MANY KILLED IN COLLISION.

Special to The Sentinel.
Rawlins, Wyo., Dec. Fire is
adding to the horrors of a headon
collision between east bound over
land limited No and a freight train
on the Union Pacific shortly after
midnight near wilkins, u mail station
ton between Green River and Rock
Springs. Ten lives are known to have
been lost and it is believed that many
more are under the burning wreck
age. The operator at wilkins is near
ly crazed and 1t is impossible almost
to learn of the facts from him. At
1920 this morning, the identified
dead numbered ten, including the en-
-ineer, fireman. three cooks and two
mail clerks. Among the injured are
thirteen OF the train crew and a num-
Der OF passengers. East bound pas
up time when 1t dashed into the
rails was attached in front. These
we're forced through the engine by
the impact and many of them through
the first cars in the passenger train.
Soon after fire started.
The trainmen and passengers who
were uninjured made every effort to
resuce the unfortunate, but their at
tempts were futile in the darkness.
1t is feared that the removal of the
wreckage will disclose the cremated
remains of many. The railroad COM
pany and the telegraph company re-
fuse to give out any of the details.
Before any assistance has arrived, five
dead bodies had been taken out from
the first car of the train, and later
four more were found.

TO TRY PAROLE SYSTEM.
Oregon Begins the Experiment Looking
to Criminal Reform.

SALEM, Ore, May 12.-Oregon's ex-
pertinent with the parole system in the
punishment and reformation of crimi-
nails will begin on the 10Th Of this
month, when the act of the last legis-
lature upon this subject will take eff
feet.
Two acts were passed, one authoriz-
ing the circuit judge to parole a pris-
oner at the time of passing sentence,
and the other authorizing the circuit
Judge to sentence the prisoner for an
indefinite period, and empowering the
governor to parole him for good beha-
vior after he had served the minimum
time prescribed by law. An indefinite
sentence will expire by limitation Of
law when the prisoner has served the
maximum time provided as a penalty
for the offense.
The new laws are expected to &C
complish two results-encourage men
to reform, and relieve the state of the
burden Of maintaining them in prison.
The parole system is intended, of
course, to be resorted to only where
the offender is not confirmed Grim
inal and will probably not violate the
law again if given his freedom. A
large proportion of the men now in the
penitentiary are confirmed criminals,
and many have been sentenced to
There are many, nevertheless, such as
those now on the trusty list, who would
be safe if turned loose to go where they
please.
Hereafter, when a man is found to
be guilty of a crime for which he may
be punished by Imprisonment in the
penitentiary from two to ten years, for
example, the judge may pass sentence
in one or three ways. He may sentence
him to a definite term of imprison-
ment and then make an order pardon
ing him during good behavior. He
of Imprisonment and leave the matter
of parole to the discretion of the gov
ernor after the minimum term of two
years mas been served.
Governor Chamberlain says that his
experience as prosecuting attorney
leads him to believe that about one in
twenty persons who are convicted of
be paroled by the circuit judge when
they are sentenced. If the judges ex-
ercise fully their power of parole, there
will be comparatively few who will be
suitable for parole by the governor.
Those paroled, he thinks, will be near
ly all young men.

CONDEMNED MURDERER AT PEN
ITENTIARY MUST NOW LOOK
TO GOVERNOR MEAD.
Not Believed That Governor Will Grant
Executive Clemency as Crime
Was Cold BIooded.

Advices have been received from
Aberdeen stating that the remittitur
from the supreme court in the case of
William Armstrong, who is at the
Walla Walla penitentiary under sem
tence to be hanged, has been received
by Judge Irwin, which document places
Armstrong in the possession of the
superior court again for resentence.
Armstrong has been at the peniten-
tiary almost since the day of his SEN
tence awaiting a decision by the SUI
preme court on the appeal for new
trial, which has been refused.
The only hope for Armstrong now is
in executive clemency, which likely
will be sought by w. H. Abel, Arm
strongs attorney. 1t is hardly possible
nor probable that Governor Mead will
interfere in the case, as the murder
which Armstrong committed was clear
ly coldblooded and his impending fate
is regarded pretty generally by the
public as fully deserved under all the
circumstances.
Armstrong had a dispute with r. w.
Patton, a farmer in the Wynoochee
river valley, over some land. One day
he found Patton on the land, which
ranch. He procured a shotgun and
fired several times, finally hitting and
killing Patton.
