whitman RECEIVES
PARDON
DAILY WORLD SECURES FREE
DOM FOR "HUMAN RATTLE
BOX'-GOES OUT AFTER SER
WING TWO YEARS IN PEN.

Ellis Whitman is a free man after
serving two years in the penitentiary
for the forgery of a $500 check.
Whitman. OF as he was known here
as The Human Rattlebox", was
without money, and without realizing
the seriousness of his offense signed
a check on another man and passed
it in as payment for his lodging. He
plead guilty to the charge when it
was placed against him and was
given an indeterminate sentence of
from one to fourteen years.
The Daily World has little SYM
pathy for the hardened criminal as
a general proposition, but in the case
of Whitman it has felt that longer
than one year was persecution. Hav-
ing no friends Whitman has been at
a decided disadvantage until the
Daily World took up his case a few
weeks ago. Communication was en-
tered into with the governor, the
pardoning board and the warden and
his release secured
Whitman is young and is not a
bad sort of a fellow. The name
Human Rattlebox' was applied to
him from the fact that he can throw
practically all of the bones of his
body out of place.

NOTED RAILROAD CASE
J. +. Polt Brought Suit Against Mil
waukcc Co. to Secure Damages
Under tho 1907 Inv

At the term of cicruit court in
Plankinton this week the case of j..
F. Polt IS. the Chicago, Milwaukee &
ST. Paul railroad company was tried
in which Preston & Hannett appeared
for the company.
Polt sued the company for damages
for a fire set by a train near Plank
linton March, 1908. This suit was
brought under the law of 1907 which
requires railroad companies to pay
double damages in fire cases, whether
the companies are negligent or not in
setting fire to property. Mr.. Preston
set up a defense for the company on
the grounds that the act of 1907 is
unconstitutional and violates both the
state and federal constitution in Civ
ing double damages when there Is no
wrong or negligence on the part of
the railroad companies. The jury.
however, brought in a verdict in fav-
or of Polt amounting to $500.
Judge Smith declined to enter a
judgment for damages on the verdict
returned by the jury and at the re-
quest of the attorneys for the defend
ant company granted a stay of pro-
ceedings for thirty days, at the end OF
which time he will hear arguments in
this city on the constitutionality Of
the law, which question has not as yet
been brought up and has been
settled.
In the event that Judge Smith
holds the law good the case will
likely be taken up to the supreme
court of this state and finally end
in the supreme court of the United
States.
At the time the fire occurred Claim
Agent Mcdonald settled with all the
other farmers who. incurred losses
by reason of the fire, Polt being the
only n to hold out-possibly look
ing to the damage law to secure
larger amount than his loss amount
ed to.
It is understood that this is the
first time that a railroad company
has been sued under the double dam
age law, and the companies desire to
know whether 1t is constitutional
or not.

DID At CHILDHOOD HOME
MIR. John l.. Davenport Passed Away
az the Place Where She Lived i'm
Youthful Days.

The Elkland, Pa, journal contains
the following nouncemen of the
death OF Mrs. John l.. Davenport. For
many Years the deceased was a resi-
dent of Mitchell, coming here in the
early pioneer days of this country:
Mrs. Sarah l.. Davenport, wife of
j. l.. Davenport, died at her home on
West Main street at about 10 O'Clock
p. M, Tuesday. Mrs. Davenport met
with an accident Thursday night of
last week and was injured quite Sc
verely by falling down stairs. Her
death, however, it is said, was not
due to the injuries she received, but
rather to. old age, being in her Seth
year.
Sarah Louise Scallin Davenport
was born in Buffalo, October 5, 1923.
With her parents she moved to Law
~renceville, Pa, and in 1910 to Elk
land, and six years later was united
in marriage to John l.. Davenport.
who was then engaged in the lumber
and real estate business in Elkland.
They built and resided for a num-
Der of years in the building now oc-
cupted as the Presbyterian parsonage,
then located at the corner of West
Main street and Pattison avenue.
In the year 1858 the family NOV
ed west and resided in the states of
low and Missouri. In 1879 they NOV
ed to South Dakota and remained
thera until 1905, when they returned
to Elkland. For ten years they have
made their home with their daugh-
ter, Mrs. Sadie l.. Laidlaw, who is
the only survivor of the five children
that were born to them. Thus the de-
ceased. after residing in many west
ern cities, finally came to die within
a stones throw of her first home.
Besides her aged husband and
daughter, she will be lamented by a
large acquaintance here and in the
west, who admired and loved her
many e%ndearing qualities. Those
who knew her intimately classed her
life. as a true Christian life. For many
Years she was an active and consist
ent member of the Congregational
Church of Mitchell, South Dakota.
'.she has gone to her long home
and we leave her in faith to the
fatherly care of Him who is the re-
%surrection and the life"

A Lively Runaway.

y runaway on First Avenue west

good deal of excitement. A team
hitched to a wagon loaded with baled
hay became frightened at an engine
and ran away, scattering the hay bun
dies along the street. At the Wild
mann hotel corner the team crashed
into the buggy of Chas. Krom and
smashed it up badly. The team was
hitched to a telegraph pole. The
runaway team was caught out on
First Avenue east and it belonged to
mar by the name of Roodner, living

MISSING 20 YEARS,
COMES BACK HUNGRY

CHICAGO, April 6-After an absence
of twenty years. during which his wife
and son did not know his whereabouts
or whether he was dead or alive. John
Allies has returned to his home i'm VIII
mette. brought back by his son Frank,
who was ten years old when his father
vanished.
The family still lives at Prairie and
Wilmette avenues, where they lived
when John Allies sank out of sight. He
was a laborer in the employ of the gas
company at Wilmette. One morning he
started to work with his dinner bucket
on his arm. and failed to come back.
The police hunted everywhere for him.
but in the course of few months they
lost interest and everybody except the
abandoned wife was content to suppose
that Allies was dead.
She took in washing and hired out
by the day until Frank was old enough
to go TO work.
About q month ago a friend of Mrs.
Allies, who had been in California, told
her that he had heard of a man named
John Allies working in an orange grove
near Whittier. which is twenty hve
miles east of Los Angeles.
The name was so unusual that Mrs.
Allies was sure this must be the miss
ing husband. She persuaded her son
to go and find out.
When he saw the man in the orange
grove he did not recognize him as his
father but the elder man knew Frank
you've changed a good deal,' he
said, extending his hand.
The only excuse he made for running
away was that he had been liscour-
aged. He made no objection TO goins
home with his son.
Mrs. Allies saw them coming and
stood in the doorway to welcome hei
husband. He was ever a peculisr anc
sullen man. betraying little onotior
himself and disliking it in others. Sht
remembered this.
Come in. John" she said, "dinnei
is ready"
I'm awful hungry" said Allies.
We make show cards; Bucher-s.'

POOR PENN DEAD
Laurel's Famous Pet Dog is Killed
by Train.


LAUREL, April 6.-Penn, Laurers
most famous dog, met an untimely
death yesterday afternoon. Penn was
raised by Granville Bacon. but nearly
every Laurelite claimed pn interest in
him, particularly was this true where
there were children, as he was a great
pet with them ALL
He was too high toned TO play with
dogs. preferring TO visit the homes of
families where children congregated.
Being an unusually strong dog. he
would carry them on his back. and he
seemed TO be in his greatest enjoyment
when there was snow on the ground.
so he could pull them around in their
sleds.
Yesterday afternoon he went visiting
across the railroad bridge. on his re-
turn he was struck by a train and
knocked into the river forty feet below.
one leg was cut off, his teeth knocked
out and his head badly crushed. vet
he swan ashore and crawled nearly two
blocks before sympathetic friends. at
tracted by his cries. put an end to his
suffering by chloroforming him.
