Moors are reported to have been shot
down In large numbers; and the town
since last Sunday night has been
practically in the possession of land

News Of fighting at Casa Blanca
was brought here by the steamer
Anatole. On Saturday night the
French naval officer in command in
formed the Moorish authorities that
he was going to land force for the |
protection of the French consul. Au-
thorization to do so was given. The |
force went ashore Sunday morning |
at daybreak. The Frenchmen were |
no sooner on the beach than they |
were fired upon by Moorish soldiers

French force sustained all its casual
ties. The Frenchmen fought their
way to the consulate and then sig

TWO LONG TIMERS RELEASED
FROM PRISON ON THANKSGIVING

Scovil, No. 6474, who from this moment
is eligible to parole"
At the request of the warden Scovil
walked forward to the platform and
received the congratulations OF the
officers of the prison, tears streaming
down his cheeks in consequence Of his
pardon was then announced for
Shorty" Frank Harold, No. 4752, and
an accompanying letter from Gov.
Buchtel was read to the recipient by
Rev. Thomas, in which he was admon-
ished to return to his relatives in the
east and be good citizen.
Luman W. Scovil was sentenced to
term of from seven to eight years
by the district court of San Miguel
county and was brought here from Tel
luride November 2S. 1905. He would
have been entitled to parole August 2S,
1910. Scovil is 62 years of age and was
a soldier in the civil war. Since the be-
ginning of his sentence of imprison-
ment he has been granted pension of
Sc a month by the government He
is said to own valuable mining proper
ty in the Telluride district, the de-
velopment of which is likely to make
him independent. In the course of a
conversation with the Daily Record re-
porter a few minutes after the COM
mutat ton of his sentence had been
announced he stated that until the
commission of the crime at Telluride
for which he had been sent to the
penitentiary, he had never been arrest
ed, nor been mixed up in any trouble
growing out of violation of the law.
Il am going back to my family de-
termined to live an honest, upright
life as far as possible, forgetting the
disgrace that | have brought upon my
self and my friends by being sent to
the penitentiary. have a wife and sew
eral small children and it is my pur-
pose to go back to them and lift the
burden of makig living from their
shoulders. Although my friends have
been at work for year or more try
ing to secure for me a pardon, or
parole, | hardly expected their efforts
would be successful this year. Moth
ing was further from my thoughts
than that I would receive a Thanksgiv-
ing Communication from the Warden and
when he announced that l had been
made eligible to parole could not con-
troll my emotions"

Christian church. Rev. Hunley's dis
course was based upon that incident
in the life of King David, when, before
the army Of the Philistines, which was
spread out in front of him for a dist
ance Of twenty miles, he expressed a
wish for a drink OF water from the
well by the gate Of Bethlehem and
three mighty men broke through the
ranks OF the enemy and brought 1t to
him. 1t was one of the most eloquent
addresses ever heard here on a similar
occasion and evoked general admlra-
ton.
The musical features of the program
were of the highest excellence and
their rendition was greatly enjoyed,
particularly was this the case with
Prof Eichhorn's vocal solo.
A generous offering was made for
charitable purposes and placed in the
hands of the secretary OF the Asso-
ciated Charities for distribution where
it will do the most good.

Thanksgiving Day is an event In
the calendar of the state penitentiary
second only to that Of Christmas and
the occasion was celebrated by the
most without parallel in the history o.
the prison. At $50 o'clock the 625 con-
victs of the institution were assembled
in the chapel where patriotic enter
tainment, consisting of addresses and
a musical program, was given for their
benefit under the direction of Chaplain
Blake.
There were several instrumental Sc
lections by the prison band, three or
four vocal numbers by the ladies quar-
tette of the First Presbyterian church,
a violin solo by Miss Gray of Chicago,
a vocal solo by Mrs. Geo.W. Bethel, Jr.,
a mandolin and guitar duet by mem
bers of the prison orchestra, the read
ing of the executive pardon by War
den Cleghorn and the annual Thanks
giving Day address by Rev. ]. T. Thom-
as, Jr. The program was of more than
usual excellence and each feature was
applauded by the audience.
Following the invocation Warden
Cleghorn announced that he had some
thing to say to the convicts and he
was sure the statement he had to
make would interest every one of them.
"One of the pleasing duties of the
warden on Thanksgiving Day. he said,
"is to read the executive pardon. 1t
is he continued, no easy matter out
of the more than 500 inmates of this
institution to select the one best en-
titled to the gift / am about to bestow,

day night to enter upon a life OF
freedom and respectability.
Frank Harold, or Shorty" Harold,
as he is familiarly called by his asso-
ciates, was sentenced from Weld
county for a long term of imprison-
ment for murder and was registered
at the penitentlary June 9Th, 1893.
His parents, as well as two brothers
and a sister, live in Iowa and he left
Thursday night to pay them visit.
In conformity with theadvice contain
ed in Governor Buchtel's letter to him
he will not return to Colorado, but will
make his home in the east where, he
says, he will be given every encourage
ment to conduct himself as descent
citizen.
Harold formerly lived at Brighton.
Colorado, and it was while there that
he was accused and convicted OF the
murder Of Charles O'Hara, and his
wife, Mary O'Hara. 1t was claimed by
Harold at the trial that OHara killed
his wife and that he was witness to
the murder. 1t became necessary to
kill OHara in self defense, because
the latter tried to put Harold out Of
the way, fearing he would inform the
authorities that OHara had killed his
wife. This was Harold's story on the
witness stand.
The fact that Harold drove off all Of
O'Hara's cattle and sold them, pocket
ing the money remained unexplained
and Harold was convicted OF double
murder.
His APPLICATION for pardon was en-
dorsed by Warden Cleghorn, ex-Gov-
ernor Mcdonald and Mrs. Mcdonald
and several other prominent people.
The address OF Rev Thomas was
predicated upon the first clause OF the
18th verse OF the End chapter OF II
Peter, Honor all men," and was a
very eloquent discourse. affording the
audience at once entertainment and
an Intellectual feast. 1t was a strong
plea for self-respect and that 1t was
enjoyed and appreciated was evidenced
by the very close attention given to II
by the audience which filled every part
OF the chapel.
The convicts' Thanksgiving dinner
consisted In part Of roast pork, sau-
sage, stewed onions, cranberry sauce,
potatoes, celery, hot biscuits, pie. cof-
fee, butter, cream, sugar, etc. 800
pounds OF fresh pork, 400 pounds OF
sausage, 1000 biscuits, 1870 mince pies
400 heads OF celery and five barrels OF
sweet potatoes were prepared for the
feast. Ten hogs. averaging $50 pounds
apiece, were slaughtered for the oc-
II casion.

DOG CATCHER KILLS
IN SEVEN SECONDS
INvENTs CARTRIDGE FULL OF
DEADLY CHEMICALS
Humane Society of New York Invites
vacher to Visit That City
and Demonstrate His
Method

William vacher. dog catcher, is an in
yeptor.
This fact developed yesterday while
vacher was in police court testifying
against George McClain, charged with
interfering with an officer.
According to yacher, his new invention
is the most remarkable thing of it's kind
in the world.
BY means of 1t the dog catcher is able
to kill dog in seven seconds and the
dog suffers no pain of any kind during the
operation.
The preparation Is in the form of a
cartridge which exp,odes when thrown
into the tank in which the dogs are
placed. This cartridge contains a COM
bination of chemicals, the fumes OF
which fill the air, causing almost instant
death to the dogs.
Los Angeles is the only city In the
country where this method is being used
and according to Vacher it is the most
humane one Of doing away with stray
CANNES.
Attention of humane societies through
out the country were attracted to the
system some time ago and recently
Vacher received requests from the So
ciety in New York to visit that city and
illustrate the method there. He has
agreed to do so and will probably leave
Los Angeles within month with that
purpose in view.
At the present time there are nearly
200 dogs in the local pound and 1t will
be necessary to do away with mary Of
these. Vacher has a largo tank built
especially for the purpose and claims it's
use in conection with his method has
been most satisfactory.

LIBRARY TESTS
GIRLS KNOWLEDGE
NEXT ORDEAL FOR ATTENDANTS
SET FOR SATURDAY
Young Women Must Know Much More
Than Merely Passing Out
Books or CasaIoguing
Them

The entrance examination for the
twentieth training class of the Los An
geles public library will be held at 1 p.
m. Saturday, October 10, at the librarians
office.
These examinations are a severe test
of general culture in art literature and
history, and have nothing to do with the
mere routine of the library-which IL
covered later by the civil service exan-
nations.
The attendants in the library are ex,
pected to know a gooo deal more thar
how to pass out books and check then
up and mend them and catalogue them
'.The library serves public of extraor
binary culture and variety OF demands,
remarked Librarian Charles F. Lummi
yesterday, "and the little library system
which a high school girl learns in sly
months is only small part of the broat
education which takes many years tt
acquire and which is essential to proper
service In such a place.
'These examinations are being made
more strict each year as the library
grows in size and in responsibility.
"All the members of the last two tram
ing classes have successfully passed ex.
aminations which would be rather hare
for entrance to Harvard college-that Is
in the lines covered.
"There Is no Latin and no algebra; but
relatively few Harvard freshmen could
pass the examination as to literature, arr
and history which attendants OF the Los
Angeles public library are now oolgec
to pass" ..,t
