TRYING ID GET
 SHORTEN PARDON Was Sent to Pen. For Rob. bery Of Douglas Saloon
 2 Years Ago

Efforts are now being made by a number of Cochise county residents to secure from Governor Kibbey par don for James Shorten, who is now serving a sentence at the Yuma peni- tentiary of ten years for an alleged part in the hold-up of Douglas sa- loon and gambling hall about two years ago.
 B. J. o'Reilly, county assessor, re- gently made trip to Phoenix, and laid the whole matter before the Gov ernor. who promised him that he would immediately investigate the matter and render a decision at an early date
 IL is stated in Shorten's behalf that the witnesses against him, one of them James Stewart, has made an affidavit that he deliberately lied at Shorten's trial, giving testimony that was un- true, and assisted materially in his being sent to the pen.
 Judge Fletcher M. Doan. members of the trial and grand jury and several witnesses have all signed a petition for an investigation by the Governor of Shorten's case.
 O'Reilly states that Shorten was the victim of manufactured testimony, by people who wanted him railroaded to Yuma in order that their part would not appear in the case. He says that as a result of this, Shorten has suffered and efhe real principals escaped without punishment.
 Shorten has now served about eight cen rronths of his time. Friends working in his behalf believe they will secure pardon for him.

THE FARMER BOY.

Pulling the weeds from the garden
Driving the cows home at night,
Dropping the corn In the springtime
Mailing pale on tight;
Hunting for eggs in the barnyard,
Looking for turkeys astray,
Carrying lunch to the reapers,
Tossing the new-mown hay;
Riding the horses to water,
Feeding the chickens and cows,
Throwing the hay to the hangers,
Down from the fragrant mows;
withdrawing corn-cribs and fences
Gathering fruit from the trees,
Covering flower beds in autumn,
For fear Of an early freeze;
Pumping the clear, cold water,
Chopping an arm-load Of wood
These are the farmboy's gymnastics;
They're cheap. but none the less good

still giving moderate satisfaction in
the limited local uses to which the
product has been put.

TRluMpHEo EVEN OVER DEATH.
Remarkable Deed Ascrlbed to Aus
trIan Bandit Of 1880.

DR.. Loye tells the following strange
story, taken from the archives of an
Austrian police officer, and relating TO
an execution said to have taken place
In Vienna in 1850: A well.known BAN
dit named Schavenburg was caught,
together with four of his associates,
and they were all condemned 10
death. They were already on their
knees, ready TO submit to their fate,
when Schavenburg addressed tho
Judge, asking that his four compan.
ions might be ranged In single file in
front of him at distance of eight
feet from each other.
IF" he said, after am beheaded,
! get up and walk to the first of my
comrades. will you pardon him."
The Judge thought he was pretty
safe In complying with the request.
But II walk up to the second, the
third, and the fourth, will you pardon
those also?"
The judge replied that he would OBJ.
tain their pardon from the emperor.
The bandit was satisfied, bent his
head, received the mortal blow, and
his head rolled down; but to the great
surprise OF the Judge and the specta-
tors, the body got up, walked alone.
passed the first, second, third and
fourth Of the condemned men, and fell
down, The occurrence was told to
the emperor, who, according to prom,
lse. pardoned the four criminals
