GOVERNOR WILSON OF KEN.
TUckY PARDoNs BOTH POW
ERS AND HOWARD.
AFTER EIGHT YEARS
BELIEVES THEM INNOCENT OF
COMPLETELY IN THE MURDER
OF GoEsEL.

Frankfort, Ky.-By announcing the
pardon Saturday of Caleb Powers and
James Howard Governor Wilson
closed the last chapter in one of the
most noted criminal cases in the his
tory of this state, in which people all
over the United States have formally
expressed their interest by signing
petitions for pardon.
In the closing days of January, eight
years ago, while the contest of William
Goebel for the gubernatorial seat oc-
cupied by Governor Taylor was being
held, Goebel was shot, dying later from
his wound.
The shot was believed to have come
from the half open window of the sec
retary of states office, and as Caleb
Powers was then filling that position.
suspicion was at once directed toward
him and his arrest followed
Four times has Powers been put on
trial for his life on the charge of com
plicity in the murder, the first three
trials resulting in conviction and sen
tence, death being the penalty in two
trials
On the fourth trial, which came af
ter the case had been carried to the
United States court, being finally ap-
pealed to the Supreme Court, which
sent it back to the state courts, the
jury disagreed and thereupon the ef-
forts for pardon for Powers, as well
as for James Howard, who had been
convicted some years ago on a charge
of completely, were renewed. Names
of many hundreds of thousands of SYM
pathizers of all parties and all sections
were appended to the petitions that
poured in on Governor Wilson, who
for several weeks has been consider
ing the case.
In announcing his decision Governor
Wilson says:
Il grant Caleb Powers a full and un-
conditional pardon for the offense with
which he stands charged and a restor
alton of all his rights of citizenship,
and order that he be forthwith released
from Jail. My reason for granting a
| pardon is that | am fully con-
vinced that he is. beyond all reason
able doubt, innocent of the crime
charged against him, and that any fur
ther prosecution against him for the
crime charged would be great wrong
and against the peace and well being
of the commonwealth"
The governors reasons for the par
don Of James B. Howard are set forth
to be that after careful examination
of all of the evidence and proceedings
Of the trial he is satisfied that Howard
had nothing whatever to do with the
murder of William Goebel, but that
Henry Youtsey formed the plan which
was carried out in the murder.

IMPORTANT DECISION OF LAND
OFFICE IN GRAND VAL
LEY CASE.
COLLISION CHARGED
SETTLERS NOT PERMITTED TO
TRADE LAND IN HOMESTEADS
FOR WATER.

Grand Junction, Colo.-That the
Redland Irrigation and Power Com
pany, S1,O0O.O00 corporation backed
by some of the most prominent and in
fluential business men of Grand juno
ton, conspired to defraud the govern
ment out of 5000 acres of rich agri-
cultural land in the Grand valley, and
must relinquish its holding is the eff
feet of a decision by Receiver Gordon
Kimball and Register Bryson p. Blair
of the United States Land Office.
The decision Sustains the contest of
fourteen local parties, who made the
affidavit charging fraud. These We're
filed year ago. Among those in
volved in the company's dealings are
ID. r. Stone cashier of the Union
Trust and Banking Company of this
city; A. j. McCune, FORMER state en-
gineer; Robert A. Orr IA wealthy fruit
grower; Frank ID. Kiefer of Fruita and
II. +. Piatt, millionaire of Lansing,
Michigan.
The decision of the land office, it is
said. lays the promoters of the COM
pany liable to investigation by the fed
eral grand jury, and it was intimated
sometime ago that if the contest were
sustained. the federal authorities
would take hand in the matter. The
decision is in the cases of W. Guy
Boyer against Julia McCune and thir
teen other contestors and contestees.
In the decision the land officers say:
I'VE find that the said entries were
not made in good faith for the sole use
and benefit of said entrymen, but at
the instigation and for the use and
benefit of the said promoters and the
officers of the Redland Irrigation and
Power Company, and therefore, under
the law, said entries are not entitled
to stand on record In view of the
foregoing we therefore recommend
that the entries be cancelled subject
to the right of appeal
The contestors claim that the Red
lands company, which has erected a
million dollar power plant for the pur
pose of supplying water to the land.
entered into collusion with the entry
men to secure possession of the major
portion of the land filed upon.
1t is said that only $50 acres out of
total of 4,4S0 filed upon were to re-
main in the hands of the entrymen,
each securing twenty acres, the bal
ance of 4,200 acres to go to the COM
pany for furnishing water, which is
held to be violation of the law.

and their cohorts of strong lunged fol
lowers and shoulders, others with their
friends and admirers of the various po-
litical candidates, and still others and
again others of the curious onlookers
drawn from every section of the coun-

foreign nations who have come to wit

POTASH IN CLAY.
Experiment in Indiana, in Application
of Clay to Swamp Land.

In Indiana some experiments have
been made in which reclaimed swamp
land was treated with dressing of
clay known to be very rich in potash
1t was expected that the potash in the
clay would be made available by hav-
ing 1t cultivated in. For two years
crops were grown on soil SO treated
and showed practically no results.
Land SO treated produced about the
same as check plots of the same soil
on which no clay had been put.
The reclaimed swamp soil was also
very rich in organic matter, which in
its decay might be supposed to act
advantageously on the potash locked
up in the clay. To what extent such
potash is available is matter not
fully determined.
The above may have some bearing
on the practice of plowing worn out
land little deeper than usual to get
an inch or two of soil in which the
potash has not been exhausted If the
clay spread on the reclaimed swamp
land did not yield up it's potash what
may be expected of the potash in the
inch or two Of soil just below the
level on which the plow has been
wont to run in worn out lands?
1t has been assumed that when the
surface soil has been rendered de-
ficient in potash by long cropping, and
there was a potash-rich soil just be-
low. plowing a little deeper would
make it unnecessary to purchase COM
mercial potash. Has this claim, asks
the Farmers Review, been sufficiently
established? 1t is a problem worthy
of extended study

Double Murder and Suicide.

Denver-Maddened with jealousy
when the man he had introduced to his
sweetheart won the woman's affection,
Charles A. Byers, a cigarmaker, aged
fifty-six Friday night shot and killed
his rival, Edward Smith, cigarmaker,
twenty-seven years old, and fatally
wounded the woman, Mrs May E. Bor-
en-, aged thirty-eight, landlady of the
Briston rooming house, 1S4S Larimer
street. Byers then turned the revolver
on himself and sent bullet crashing
through his brain.
In January last Mrs. Boren secured a
divorce from John Preston Boren, sup
erintendent of Devine's ranch, Howard,
Kansas. The couple had three children,
Charles Arthur Boren, twenty, Lulu
Maud Boren, eighteen, both of whom
are making their home now with their
father near Howard and Ruth, thirteen
years old who was living at the house
with her mother. The family lived for
merly at Pittsburg, Kansas.

Yuma County Land Suit.

Denver.-Yuma county land to the
value of between 100000 and $4,000
600, is involved in a suit filed in the
federal court by Charles E. Gibson of
Boston, against the Empire Ranch &
Cattle Company. While the immediate
suit concerns only $50 acres of dry
land, if successful it will be followed
by several similar legal actions against
the present holders, and will result in
about 100 quarter sections changing
hands.
In his complaint Gibson, through At
torney John F.. Mail, alleges that the
treasurer of Yuma exceeded his author
ity and sold land already disposed of
when he let the Empire Company have
it at something like so cents to rs
cents per acre. At that time the land
was considered practically worthless
1t is understood that the defendants
will fight the case through to the su-
preme Court of the United States if
necessary ON the validity of tax titles.
