Three MurdereRS Under Death
Sentenced to Be Hanged
~, .'-.~''s =,
by Warden
Supreme Court Holds Judg.
meD1 in These Gases
Regular and Valid

There are at the state penitenti-
airy three prisoners who are under
sentence to hang, one of them being
Robert S. Noah of Ward county, for
the killing Of his farmer neighbor
named johnson near Kenmare and
the two Peltier boys, convicted of
the killing of a country postmaster
and his daughter in Bottineau coun-
ty. Some time ago Warden He'll
strom referred the matter to Cover
nor Burke as to whether the law
requiring the warden of the peni-
Tertiary. to execute criminals who
had received the sentence of death
was constitutional and If not the
sheriffs in the different counties
would be compelled to hang these
prisoners in their respective counties.
The warden raised the question as
result of the decision in the tenn
perance commissioner case which
held that jurisdiction of sheriffs
could not be imposed upon. Cover
nor Burke referred the question to
the supreme court, and on Friday
the supreme court addressed COM
munication to the governor as fol-
lows:

Please allow me space in your

endorsement of the action of our
City Council in the almost unani-
nous vote in favor of the Anti
gambling Ordinance (beirg only
one vote against the Same.)
While to some of our people
the ordinance may appear too
broad and sweeping in that il
cuts off all playing OF cards fer
prizes, and what is termed gen
tlemen gambling, at the Same
time we must remember that
the Council could not we'll draw
the line of discrimination be-
tween this kind and allow the
other to go free.

have the moral support of all
good citizens in the passage Of
this ordinance and others that
understand they contemplate
passing looking to the good OF
our town. Without this support
of the good citizens of the town
it will be much harder for the
Council to have the ordinance
enforced.

Boom for GulberSOn.

Be that as it may, there is a Culber-
son presidential boom just now that
can not be ignored as a factor in the
problem. The leaders of the party are
mainly southern men and there is
very forceful expression of the opinion
that it is-high time for the south to be
something more than the tail to the
democratic kite.
Recent suggestions to the effect that
the southern delegates hold aloof and
throw their strength to that party
which can offer the most are pronounc-
ed utterly visionary by southern con-
gressmen. They say they will enter
the national convention as usual and
will use their best efforts four years
hence to frame a democratic platform
The democratic congressman are
unanimously of the opinion that the
principal cause underlying the defeat
of Mr.. Bryan was the unwarranted
lack of business confidence in the Ne
braskan, not on the part of the trust
magnates particularly, but the repre-
resentative business man from one end
of the country to the other

Washington, Dec. 5.-All the leading
democratic congressman have arrived
in Washington for the season COM
mencing Monday. 1t is a rather blue
crowd-these democrats. They have
about recovered from the effects of the
election, but it will be some time be-
fore they forget about it.
However, both Senator Culberson, of
Texas, and Representative Champ
Clark, of Missouri, the joint congress
sional minority leaders, are at least
hopeful that the republican luck will
have a break four years hence, perhaps
two, and the Texan and the Missourian
make it plain that they are not going
to miss any tricks in the meantime.
Each will put up the best fight he
knows how, and at any rate the next
congressional election will go by de-
fault.

FULL MANY
A FLOW'R

The men of certain fire department
had decided to give fine presentation
ak to their chief as a tribute to his long
faithful service, Elaborate plans were
made for program to be given on the
occasion, and one of the men was Sc
lected to deliver the speech. The elo-
quent and tlowery tribute he prepared
cost him toll no one would have guess
ed-unless it was the chief, who had
caught certain rumors and was himself
secretly spending labored hours over
another oratorical triumph.
The flag draped hall was crowded
when the great day arrived. On the
platform sat semicircle of firemen in
full red-shirted regalia. The program
opened with the inevitable "piano Sc
lection" and solemnly proceeded until
the fateful moment, when the chosen
fireman stepped to the middle of the
platform to address the chief.
The spokesman opened his mouth,
but words came not. He looked at the
chief, at the floor, at the ceiling, then
made wide gesture, gave convulsive
gulp and said:
"Here's your ak"
The chief, who had arisen, gave him
one look of dumb CONSERVATION, and
said

PATTERSON AS GOVERNOR

1t is worth while to have an eXecu-
tive who executes. The whole secret
of law enforcement and of good govern
ment lies in the selection of the men
for responsible positions. A good man
may be unable to do exactly right
when imperfect laws hamper him, but
the most perfect laws conceivable by
the mind of man will produce nothing
unless the man is behind the law. The
laws are not automatic; no system of
government or of law has been devised
that will bring security and prevent
abuses if the man is not there to enforce
and to execute. Tennessee appears to
have governor who knows how to
check lawlessless. The United States
owes him thanks for showing govern
ors how simple is the process.-New
York Times.

DECISION OF THE
SUPREME COURT
MURDER LILLE DAVIS.
Suit of Southern Railway VS.. H.
W. Pardue Ends in Decision
For the Latter.

Judge Bell delivered an exhaustive
opinion in the case of Ack Hale, who
took the life of his sweetheart, Lille
Davis. Hale has a life sentence, the
jury having found him guilty of mur-
der in the first degree with mitigating
circumstances, and the judge of the
lower court having respected the mercy
clause in the finding by imposing life
sentence to the penitentiary instead of
a death sentence. Judge Bells decision
reviews all of the facts in the case in
detail, and while Hale sat and listened,
Judge Bell read the long story of the
crime and the facts leading up to it.
Lille Davis was shown to have been
infatuated with Hale, who was boot
logger and gambler, and yet the court
failed to find that Hale was in love
with the girl as he swore. Up to the
time of her meeting and association
with Hale, there was nothing to indi-
cate that she was other than chaste
and virtuous girl, but she had stepped
aside in her conduct with Hale, and
their improper relations had continued
at intervals for some time. A probable
motive for the crime was the fact that
Lille Davis was the chief witness
against brother of Hale's for taking
the life of Irby Davis, brother of the
girl,
Hale had driven with Lille Davis
out to the cemetery He was seen to
slap her in the mouth several times and
she was seen crying and heard making
outcry several times Hale had forced
her to drink liquor several times and at
the time of her death she was too much
intoxicated to realize her condition.
Hale had sustained improper relations
with the girl in the cemetery just be-
fore her death.
Hale had characterized as false the
testimony of all witnesses at the trial
who had not agreed with him, although
many of the witnesses were people OF
excellent character without interest or
motive for swearing falsely. At the
same time, despite his statement that
he was in love with the girl, he had
sought by the worst kind of witnesses
both from Knoxville and Johnson City
to blacken her character.
The proof further showed that after
Lille Davis left Johnson City with her
mother and brother and went to live in
Bristol, she had lived an exemplary
life. In fact, she was to have been
married within short time, the we'd
ding to have occurred on Easter Sun
day. Two letters which she was pre-.
pairing to post at the time of her death
were communications to relatives tell
ing of her coming wedding.
The decision dwells on the facts and
finds nothing in them TO cause the
court to reverse the case. In charge Of
Court Marshal Barlow Smith and Dep
uty Sheriff Nc CLAIM, Hale was escorted
from the court room back to the county
Jail as soon as the reading of the deci
: sion was completed. Hale showed nj
emotion. He was seated in front o

RESTORED TIMBER LAND.
Virginia Iron, Coal and Coke Com
pany Recovers Land Valued at
$4,000 by Court Decision.

The case of the Virginia Iron, Coal
and Coke Company against the James
Strong Lumber Company, tried in the
chancery court of Carter county and
decided in favor of the plaintiff COM
pany, but appealed to the state su-
preme court, has just been decided by
the latter court, which affirms the de.
cision of the lower court.
This case involved the title to timber
lands in Carter county valued at sixty
thousand dollars. The Strong Lumber
Company bought the lands referred to
from the Virginia Iron, Coal and Coke
Company at the time the lumber COM
pany established a mill in Bristol with
view to cutting the Carter county
timber The failure of the lumber
company, whose mill was later sold to
West Virginia company and removed
from Bristol, resulted in its inability
to complete the purchase money pay
ments. AS a result the Virginia Iron,
Coal and Coke Company instituted
suit to recover the property referred to
and to adjudicate other features con.
nected with the litigation.
BY the decision handed down Satur-
day the iron company again comes
into possession of its Carter county
timber properties. Bristol News.
