Governor Gillett yesterday com
muted the sentence of Edward Rowe,
serving a twelve-year sentence at San
Quentin for assault with intent to
commit murder in order that Rowe
may care for his mother, whose hus-
band and three other children have
died since young Rowe, now q years
of age, was sent TO prison four years
ago. Rowe was committed on Nav
10, 1904. It was while Rowe was con-
fined in the Preston school OF in
dustry, to which he had been sent as
an incorrigi BILE, that he made an
assault on j. s. Phillips, one of the
employees at the lone institution,
former resident of Gait, and we'll
known III Lodi. Some of the boys
had planned a break, but the leaders
refused to take the lead. Finally
Rowe and another lad took affairs
into their own hands and planned an
assault on one of the employees, Mr.
Ray. When Ray and Phillips were
both OH guard one night, Rowe,
feigning illness, inducing Phillips to
come to his side. Rowe then hit
Phillips on the head with a ,ock tied
in sock. Phillips managed to close
the doors, but not until the other
boy had escaped. This boy was after
ward captured and sent to the state
prison at Folsom. Rowe was given
fifty-six lashes at the school, and
later, before Judge Il. e. Rust, at
jackson, was sentence to servo twelve
years at San Quentin. Judge Rust,
Phillips and Others recommended
communication of the sentence. Phil.
lips believes that Rowe was too
young at the time the assault was
made to have knowledge of the seri-
BUSINESS of the act. He has promised
to care for his mother, and the

FROM OUR
CORRESPONDENTS
SHENANDOAH VALLEY.

The sunshine though pale is very
welcome after so much cloudy
weather, and the farmers are hustling,
some to finish putting in grain and
others To commence summer falowing.
The grain that is up is growing fine,
and bids fair to be a good crop all
over the valley.
Geo. Upton sr., went TO Sacramento
the later part of last week, returning
Saturday evening accompanied by his
daughter, Mss Dora, who has been in
Sacramento for some time past, under
the treatment of DIR. L. Wah Hing.
We understand that the young lady
rs entirely recovered.
Mrs Matte Watson and son George.
Of MERGED, are visiting her parents,
Mr. and Mrs Oliver Ball, and other
relatives.
j.. A. Grain, who is working a mine
at Slug Gulch, near Falrplay, I'll
Dorado county, came down to visit
his family, who are living in the Joe
Davis residence.
Miss Ruby Dillon is visiting friends
and relatives in Sacramento aud Oak
Grove, she expects to be away nearly
a month.
There are few cases of chicken pox
in the valley, and we are told that
there is several cases of whooplng
cough in Plymouth.
The orchardists in the valley expect
heavy yield of fruit this season, as
the continued cold and cloudy
weather has kept the buds back, so
they are not so liable to be killed by
the late frosts.
The new telephone company held
its first meeting Feb. =, 1908, electing
ITS officers, they are as follows: VIM.
Warren, president for one year; q. b.
Harrell, secretary and treasurer for
one year; II. Jameson, trustee for
three years term; II. Vennewitz, trus-
tee for two years; F. wager, trustee
for one year. The new line is to be
known as the Shenandoah Valley
Rural Telephone Company. The
main line runs from Plymouth to the
Uno post office, it follows the main
public road from Plymouth to the |
east boundary line of the Baughman
ranch. then out north across the |
Costumes river too the Jameson
ranch, then east by way of VIM.
Warren's place. The central Office
will beat the plymouth post office,
where twill connect with the Sunset
Telephone, and will be under the
direction of Che enterpising agent of
that company, f. Thoms. The time
both the main and the several branch
lines, is nearly completed, they are
now waiting for the boxes, which
have been ordered. We expect to get
first class service on this line, and
there is no doubt that in the near
future it will be extended farther in
the mountains, notwithstanding the
various rumors that have been cir
culated against the interest OF said
company by some of our enterprising
neighbors. Wishing it all possible
success. Shynear.
