In granting a pardon TO an East Ten
nessee murderer. Gov. Patterson givei
these reasons. so-called By courtesy;
The sole motive. as shown by the
record, and as reported by the Ad

der was alleged slanderous remarks
made by the deceased, Sam Parker
against the reputation and chastity OF
the defendants wife. Petitioner is
shown TO be a man of nervous temper
ament and disposition, and l am per-
suaded he believed these remarks we're
made by the deceased as they we're
reported to him, and that under these
circumstances he killed the deceased.
The act, as a matter of law, was IN
justifable, but the circumstances un-
der which this killing occurred are of
such character that / believe the petit

This man. convicted by jury of his
peers and sentenced by the court Of
his county to serve a paltry ten years
in the State prison for the murder OF
his fellow man is set at liberty al
most before he commenced to ex-
plate his term upon the flimsy excuse
set forth above. And yet Gov. M. R.
Patterson pretends to have a great
veneration for the law and proclaims
from the housetops that "by the eter-
nal'' justice shall prevail. But the
law that he invokes to prosecute and
punish the friendless and despised
night riders Of Reelfoot does not ex
tend to and embrace the prominent
jurist from East Tennessee who has
money and friends at his beck and
call. /
BY the very statement which he is
sues with his pardon the Governor
shows his contempt of law and his
aversion to the principles of justice.
"A man Of nervous Temperament"

forth to slay. This defense should
take its place with "dementia Amer

"Quincy Adams sawyer"

There was much discussion in re-
gard to dramatizing Quincy Adams
Sawyer" between the publishers and
both of those ~ho did and those who
did not do the dramatlzatfon. A the
atrical manager who tried to secure
the dramatic rights, and might have
had them If he had not Insisted on
having the dramatizatioR made his
way maintained that to make strong
play from the book he would intro
duce an entirely new and strong mel
odranhtic plot which was not in the
novel fIe wanted to have some lost
Wills, farm mortgages, city villains
and wroDged girls. like all the other
rural plays. The publishers, however
maintained that there would be a
great advantage in having a dramatic
alton that followed the book closely
it would be something new In more
ways than one.
The results since the play has been
before the public, the last six seasons,
have proved the wisdom of their hold
ing to their views: The business has
been phenomenal throughout the
whole county. and one hears great
deal of interest manifested in Ahe APP

The potential virtues of the desper-
ado-hero have been delevoped by his
love for Ruth, we learn in the second
act, and Client has bettered his world

ing enterprise; also he has foresworn
the whisky that had made OF him the
savage he was shown to be in the first
act. But there are strained relations
between him and Ruth. The girl, it
seems, had been TO a certain extent
fascinated by the rude chivalry the
man had displayed following the alb
duction and was beginning 20 take
deep interest in him, but on one un-
fortunate occasion, Steve had fallen
from grace and into whisky, with the
result that he had brutally mistreat-
ed her. This lapse has wholly alien
aled her budding affection for the
man and she dwells morOsely upon
the corrodng thought that she had
been bought for a string of nuggets.

remarked, than officiating onery

sqsaw." This harassing contempla-
zion impels her to make and secretly

ling for herself a sufficient sum to buy
back from the half-breed the nuggets
She will accept nothing from the hus-
band she now thoroughly detests. Az
the first opportunity she returns to
her home in Massachusetts. where she
gives birth to child for which she
evinoes no maternal feeling. Despite
this behavior, however, she still re-
tains. though unsupported, an abiding
love for the strong. rugged man. the
father OF her child. and when Client
appears on the scene and she dlscov-
ers that he has acted with great gen.
crosby toward her family and with
unexpected dellcacy toward her, her
covenanter scruples are thrust aside;
/ she realizes that he has made the best
of their strange relation and she the
worst and that her heart is full of
love for him. The final curtain falls
on their reconciliation.
Lester Lonergan, remembered here
as a stock company - actor, is the
stephen Client Of this production. He
has the figure and voice for the part
and all things considered. he handles
the role very effectively. Miss Ale
laide Nowak is acceptable as Ruth.
A vivacious and delightful young
actress is Miss Lolita Robertson, the
ingenue of the play. She supplies the
comedy of the performance in a man
ner that proved thoroughly enjoyable.

people present and all had a
good time. A parade took place
at 10 o'clock, which consisted of

fourth of July oration by r. T..
Dillman of Revillo. In the after.
noon a game of ball took place
between the Twin Brooks and
Summit teams, resulting in favor
of Twin Brooks. Horse racing
and other sports took up the
balance of the day, followed by q
dance in the evening.

keystOnes Explain


The following from the Key.
stone base ball team is in ex
planation of their failure to show
up at Milbank. We print the
letter entire. The Milbank peo.
pie do not blame them for not
wanting to make long jumps, but
they do blame them for signing
an agreement to do so and then
not living up to their agreement,
nor even sending notice that they
should cancel the contract. On
the top of the printed letterhead
on which the communication is
written, the following occurs:
1--WE always make it our duty to
live up to our agreements and we wish
others to do so: and under no circum-
stances do we wish to be cancelled at
the last possible moment"
The motto is a good one, but
the Keystone boys failed in the
Milbank case to live up to it, and
are naturally in disgrace with
our people. Following is the
explanations:
Minneapolis, Minn., July 2, 'O6.
Mr.. W. w. IDownie. Editor "The
Herald-Advance," Milbank, S. D.
Dear Sir: Replying to your "hot
shot, of last week., which you were
kind and condescending enough to
send me, | wish to say that some
things happen over which we have
absolutely no control.
1t was . case of bad railroad con-
nections that caused the team to miss
playing at Milbank. Anyone Ito read
the little article, which you have
printed would think that we deliber.
ately "ducked" your city, for fear
that we would be defeated, but l as
sure you that such was not the case.
You zee any team, Is due to lose
sometimes, we cannot win always,
neither can your team.
The team was in Flandreau as you
say then they played in Jasper, Mimi,
the 23rd, and thev feared they could
not make your city in time to play, as
they were so far away, then again
your city was the only city in that
section of the country, that we were
to play on that trip. 1t is quite
long jump from Jasper, MINI, to
Milbank, and . deal longer one from
Milbank to Lake Crystal, MINI.
From Jasper to Milbank it is lis
miles, and from Milbank to Lake
Crystal is 265 miles. Now you know
that is too long jump for q travel
| ing team to make, especially, If said
team, stand their own expenses. You
see we must make our jumps rs short
as possible. because when we play in
one city we may have . $50 crowd,
and then in the next we may get $40
crowd.
| | don't think 1t is any more than
right that the manager should have
telephoned to Mr.. Fuller and told him
just what the trouble was. l am sorry
that the team failed to appear but it
is too late now.
We are very glad that you used our
color for drawing card, ss that
helped you out considerable; you had
great crowd which came because you
| used our color so you should be
thankful for that. Hoping that this
letter will suit even your critical
| opinion, I am, Yours Respectfully.
