Conscience Begins to Hurt Him.
Writes Letter to the
Governor.

Chicago, July William Nc
Carty, 40 years old, is going back to
the Indiana state penitentiary at
Michigan City. Unless his sentence
is commuted by executive action or
a pardon, fourteen years will pass
before he is again a free man. Yet
no officer of the law accompanied
him on his trip across the state line
yesterday, and the railroad ticket on
which he came from North Yakima,
Wash, to serve out his sentence, was
bought out of his own earnings.
McCarty was converted recently at
a Salvation Army meeting in North
Yakima, became convinced that it
was his duty to return to the prison
from which he had escaped when on
parole and set to work earning
money for his passage.
Several years ago he gambled

KNIGHT OF THE 10Th CENTURY
Subject Of an Interesting Lecture by

Although the entertainment at the
Chautauqua Tuesday night was a
little late in beginning, the delay
caused by some boys getting on the
stage late in the afternoon and drop
ping one of the large curtains by
removing the ropes from the pull

FORMER ACTOR NOW VEAL THY
! Alba Haywood Strikes 1t Rich in the
Southern Oil Fields.

Frank Ga dwell of San Benito,
Texas. was In the city Wednesday in
the interest of the Brownsville coun-
try in general and San Benito in par
ticular.
He says that the people of Texas
are just beginning to realize the fact
that down in that extreme southern
end of the state there is being open
ed up one of the most wonderful ag-
ricultural sections in the world.
He brings us word of our old
, friend, Alba Haywood, who years
ago frequently entertained Waxaha-
chic audiences with his catchy stor-
les and impersonations.
Col. Alba Haywood, for now he is
a genuine colonel, being on the staff
of the governor of Louisiana, has de-
veloped into one of the most success
full business men of the south. He
made his fortune in oil at Beau
mont and Jennings, La, and now
has chosen the Brownsville country
ident of the San Benito Land and
Water company and is building a
town nineteen miles this side OF
Brownsville on the Gulf Coast road.
His millions are being used in build
ing irrigating canals and in develop
ing the Ro Grande delta which in his
characteristic way he calls the "agri-
cultural nugget" of Texas.
Col. Heywood's many friends in
this city will be pleased to learn of
his continued success.

The people of Texas have heard
from Governor Campbell and his nu-
merous appointees and all those
hoping to be appointees, in defense
of his administration. Notwithstand-
ing this it is apparent on every hand
that the people are not satisfied with
the defense made, hence they are
turning their attention to the Hon
orable R. R. Williams, the other
candidate for governor, and seem de-
sirous of hearing only of and about
him.

Gated again and hit a man over the
head in a street fight This, he was
told, would end his parole, and he
fled the state.
Months afterward, after serving
half a dozen jail sentences and liv-
ings like a tramp, he drifted into
North Yakima, began, attending Sal

time he joined the Army. Soon after
his conversion McCarty's conscience
began to troubleehim. Early in June
he wrote Governor Hanley of India
ma, telling him of the circumstances
of his escape from the prison and of
his intention to return and serve out
his sentence.

in reply. "Your broken parole will
mean a 14-year sentence, but you
have made be a promise. Now fulfill
it."
There was no word of a possible
pardon and no promise of a mitigat-

the long trip and last Wednesday he
started. He reached Chicago yester-
day and had long talk with Colonel
