| night two men armed and masked
 appeared beside the cots of Wiley
 Holiday and Allen out in the yard and
 with drawn revolvers ordered hands
 up. Wiley complied quickly but Allen l undertook to argue the matter and in
 n very short space of time a gun was discharged and he was dead One of the men then ran into the house and | began kicking in q trunk where he supposed the money was concealed. Fearing further trouble Mrs. Holiday | immediately brought forth a satchel and presented it to the robber. saying that she supposed that was what he had come for and to take it and go. which he did. Wright accompanying him.
 One of the men had a revolver that did not fit the holster and in the nasty departure 1t fell out of the lat ter and was picked up and identified as the property of Wright or Dave Holiday. The horses they rode were also tracked and altogether the cir cumstantial evidence against them was convicting. and they were sent up for life.
 In asking for pardon or parole the contention is not made that the men are guiltless but it is contended that the shooting was accidental in that it was hair trigger revolver and through the nervousness of whichever man who held it, 1t was discharged prematurely or without a desire to kill. It is further set forth that Holi- day has been a. good prisoner, is a young man has an aged tnOthar wbo has suffered intensely as the result of the incident, and that the ends of jus tice have been met by the nine years service of Holiday, who is filled with regret and is deeply appreciative of the great wrong he has done.

Mrs Jacob Sollers yesterday called upon Governor Kibbey ito present a request for the pardon of her brother Dave Holiday, now in the territorial prison under a life sentence. together with a man named George Wright. both having been convicted of a hom- icide in Graham county.
 The crime was the killing of man named Allen, in 1899 in the upper Gila valley, at the home of Wiley Hol- iday, a second cousin of Dave Holiday. Allen was a man of rather careless nature who had a considerable amount of money gathered together. kept it with him and made no secret of the fact.
