Presence Of State Militia Taken as
Bad Omen-The Kid Nearly
Knocked Out.

Davenport. Ia, Nov. 22.-Packey Nc
Farland clearly outclassed Kid Herman
in their fifteen round go before the Tri-
City Athletic club here last night. It
was a one sided affair after the second
round, with the Irishman doing all the
leading and Herman accepting all the
punishment.
The Kid was hanging on for dear
life when the final gong sounded, and
IL was this protecting method alone
that averted a knockout. In the
eleventh round Packey had Herman on
the floor. but the bell rang just as Ref
cree Hogan counted five, and Her
man was saved. The Ghetto boy could
not compete with the fast pace set by
Mcfarland, and was carried off his
feet in every round by Packey's bull

Sharp County record., 1907-03-15

The Senate has passed the
Lee bill, which abridges the
pardoning power of the Governor
and places the pardoning and
paroling power in the hands of
the penitentiary board. The
principal feature of the measure
is that portion of it that provides
for the paroling of prisoners
whose character is good and has
been good prior to the time of
conviction. In support of the
bill Senator Lee argued that
many a good boy is sent to the
penitentiary and by the time he
has been released his associations
have made a hopeless degenerate
out of him. Further the Senator
said that the pardoning power
has been abused by some execu-
tives and through the aid of an
INSCRIPTIONS executive could
build up a powerful political
machine in the state.
