TO ASK FOR!PARDON.
Fifteen Life Prisoners Will Petition
Next Legislature.

John G. Steele, of Monroe county,
who murdered a man just across the
line from Mahaska county in 1897, and
was convicted and sentenced, is one
of the fifteen murderers now serving
life sentences in the Iowa peniten-
tiaries who have already notified
Governor Cummins that they will ask
for pardons of the coming legislature.
A number of these were petitioners
before The last legislature which re,
fused to grant any pardons or pa
roles.
Three of those who will ask for a
pardon have been in the penitentiary
over twenty-seven years each. AS
the average life of men confined in
prison is thirteen years, the longevity
of these three Iowa prisoners is con-
sidered remarkable and shows the
effect of the humanitarian rules that
prevail in the Iowa penitentiaries.
Jasper Mason of Dallas county, one
of the petitioners for freedom from
life imprisonment, has been behind
the walls at Fort Madison ever since
1876. His prison number when he
entered was 2,675. Inc last prisoner
received at Fort Madison last week
was numbered 9,251, which shows
that 6,576 prisoners have been receiv-
ed there since Mason was incarcer-
ated. Mason was twenty-four years
old when he began his life term at
Fort Madison and is now 81 years of
age, having been IN prison thirty
years.
The oldest prisoner asking for par
don is w. P. Glyndon of Hardin
county, who is now 67 years of age
He has also had the next longest SER
vice to Mason, having been sentenced
in 1878 when he was 80 years old.
Over 5000 prisoners have been re-
ceived at Anamosa since J. B. Tay-
lor was sent there in 1878 for Clin-
ton county murder. He was 35 years
old at the time and has spent twenty
seven additional years behind the
bars.
The other petitions for pardons in
clude three Polk county murderers,
George Weems, who was sent up in
1894 for the murder of Conductor
Ridpath, Betsy Smith, sentenced in
1894 and James Burns, sentenced in
1908.
The Rainsbargers, Frank and Ma
than, who were sentenced from Mar
shall county in 1887, will also petition
for pardon again.
Other petitioners are: Elmer War
rem of Tama, sentenced in 1891; John
Penny of Emmett, sentenced in 1899;
William Toole of Sac county, SEN
fenced in 1895; Thomas w. Watson
Of Mills county, sentenced in 1884;
G. A. Williams Of Union. sentenced in
1900 for murder of a deputy sheriff;
NJ. B. Foster of Taylor county, SEN

TRADE ENDS IN FIGHT
Horses Were Not Satisfactory and
Trouble Ensues.

In Esquire Bacon's court Friday at
ternoon was held the trials of State
against Cyrus Vermillion and Ed Fail
on the charge of assault and battery
upon one Henry Tate, aged about l9
years. Cyrus Vermillion was found
guilty and was fined $40 and costs
Fair was released, it being shown in
the evidence that he was not mixed
up in the ARRAY.
The trial grew over horse trad
ing deal. Tate traded horse to
Vermillion and received a horse in
exchange that he claimed was not as
good as Vermillion had represented
it to be. So Tate went back to Yer
millions barn and exchanged horses
again without Vermillion's consent.
On going home he met VermiMon
and a quarrel ensued 1t was brought
out in the evidence that Tate used a
knife in the ARRAY and cut Vermillion
on the arm and hand. The partici-
pants are all from Barnes City.
Acquitted on One Charge.
The trial Of the state against Harry
Landmesser was held yesterday af-
ternoon in Justice Prichett's court on
the charges Of assault and battery
and assault with intent to commit
murder. On the last charge it was
found that Landmesser was not gull
ty, SO he was released. On the first
charge, of assault and battery, he
will have a hearing some time next
week, the attorneys for both parties
now being busy with cases in the
district court.

ROUND CLUB FORMED.
New Social Organization Launched
in Oskaloosa.

A new social organization was per-
fected last evening at the initial
meeting held at the Ninde home. 1t
is to be known as the Round Club,
and it's object will be primarily a
study of history and travel. Many OF
the charter members have been
abroad, others have travelled extern.
sively, and all are interested in the
subject at hand. The idea is not to
have set speeches or, prepared papers
but to pursue the conversational style
and keep the story moving ny asking
and answering questions.
If the first meeLng is a criterion,
the sessions of the club will be in
tensely interesting. The Misses Kate
and Leila Ninde, Mrs. e. G. Atkins
and John Mccoy were"on the witness
stand" last evening and their EVIL
dence was most comprehensive and
acceptable. Much time was devoted
to study of the pyramids of Egypt,
and the descriptions we're so vivid
that those who have not seen the
massive structures have a clearer
idea of them than could be cleaned
from books or lectures.
During the evening Miss Matte
Knicely favored the club with several
selections on the piano. DR.. J. ".
Morgan, who in company with Major
F. H. Loring, had been instrumental
in organizing the club, explained his
ideas, and was very helpful in making
a good beginning. Permanent or
ganization was perfected by the cleo
ton of Mrs. H. L. Spencer, president,
DR.. Morgan, treasurer, and Phil Hoff-
mann, secretary. The next meeting
of the club will occur on Monday
evening, December 8, and will be
held at the G. E. Fraker home.

of the Citizens bank at Henderson,

Gaping with $4,000 in cash. The men

until morning. At least two charges
of nitro-glycerin were required to
open the vault and safe.
The robbers added to their exploits
by stealing team and rig,with which
they drove to Hastings, where It was
abandoned and where it Is supposed
they boarded a train for Council
Bluffs or Omaha, and it is believed
they are now in hiding here.
The money secured was $1,000 in
currency, $500 in $40 gold pieces and
about $500 in silver.
The Job was a skillful one and
bears the marks of experts. The in
terror of the building was badly
wrecked.
The bank has capital OF $4,000,
and is protected by burglar insur-
ance. The officers are M. c. Harver,
president, ana Homer Sickle, cashier.
