Seeks Pardon From Life Sentence.

j. c. Hunter, now serving life sem
tence in the penitentiary at Deer Lodge,
Mont, on charge of having killed his
son-in law, Otis Wslbridge, in the State
of Montana, more than twelve years ago, |
is appealing to his friends to aid him in
securing pardon, He stoutly maintains
his innocence and claims that his convic-
ton was brought about by evidence of
his own daughter through the intrigue of
others. Hunter is a former resident of
this vicinity, having been born near Tio-
nesta about 5S years ago, his father being
William Hunter, long since deceased, and
who resided on a farm on Hunter Iun
about three miles from Tionests. The
following clipping from Montana news
paper gives some idea OF the case:
"In response to the request of the board
of pardons, which is investigating the APP
peal of j. Z. Hunter, now serving life
sentence in the state penitentiary Tor the
murder of Otis Walbridge, the husband
of Mrs. Arvilla Cassandrs Melville, an
affidavit has been forwarded to Governor
Toole, stating that in the presence of sew
eral witnesses, Mrs. Melville admitted
that Huuter had been convicted on her
perjured testimony. In the spring of
1897, according to the story told by Mrs.
Melville, who was at that time the wife
of Otis Walbridge, she and her father, ].
c. Hunter, and Wslbridge left Saltese on
a trip overland. Her father and Wal
bridge quarreled and one afternoon they
went out hunting, her father taking with
him shotgun. Hunter returned alone.
Upon the witness stand at the trial in
Philipsburg few years later, Mrs. Mel
vile testified that her father told her he
had killed Wslbridge, and that be threat
ened to kill her if she told ofthe shooting
She also testified that her father burned
his coat and trousers, which we're covered
with blood. Upon this testimony solely
Hunter was convicted. 1t is stated, in
the affidavit forwarded to Governor Toole
that, while she was in the county Jail in
this city last year, awaiting trial on the
charge of bigamy, Mrs. Melville stated,
in the presence of a number of witnesses,
that her father was not responsible for the
death of her husband, Walbridge, but
that the latter was shot and killed by
George Melville, her present husband,
who is now in Jail in Helena, awaiting
trial for the murder of w. G. Guthrie, at
Bald Butte, Mont, May IL. A written
confession is also in the hands of Attorney
General Galen, in which Mrs. Melville
makes the same statement, accusing Mel
vile of numbering Walbridge in order
, that he might himself marry her. In this
confession she stated that she was forced
by Melville to perjure herself at the tria
of her father at Philipsburg, by swearing
r falsely against her father in order tC
shield Melville"
Mr.. Hunters appeal to his friends Il
help him in his efforts to bring his case
b. properly before the board of pardons is
a pathetic one, and we understand they
will make an effort to aid him in getting
a hearing.

N. A. Carringer,

The Republican nominee for District At
torney, is one of Forest county's brightest
young lawyers, whose success has been
very marked since his admission to the
bar several years ago. MIR. Carringer
came to Forest county with his parents
when mere lad, and being of a studious
turn soon led his classes in the public
schools of his home town, and at his
graduation therefrom attended Bucknell
college from which fine institution of
learning he graduated with high honors.
Taking up the study of law he fitted him
self admirably for that profession, so that
today he is peer to any attorney of his age
in this section OF the state. He has no
opposition in his contest for the position
of District Attorney and will therefore be
elected with practical unanimity, and it
goes without saying that he will fill all
the requirements of the position with
satisfaction to the people and credit to
himself

accomplish certain reforms to which a
good many were opposed, but the Penn
sylvanis amendments are mainly in the
interest of economy. There are ten of
these amendments and q schedule. The
mere printing of them fills two newspa-
per columns of small type, but nearly all
of them are notifications of the Constitu-
ton to accomplish 3 single object, viz,
the reduction of elections in this State
one-hslf. The uniform primary law
practically duplicates each election and
makes them very considerable expense
to the taxpayers. 1t is seen that there are
twice as many elections as are necessary.
To reduce the number one-half, and so
fix the terms, that county and municipal
elections will not come in the same year
with the State and general elections, re-
quires good many incidental changes,
the lengthening of the term of some office
a little longer in their places than was
originally intended; yet all who beieye
that the reduction in the number of elec-
tions by one-hslf is a desirable end will
vote for these amendments. Even under
the reduction we will have one election
every year. At present we have two and
though some of them in popular estima-
ton are of little importance they cost
about as much as If they were.
Two Legislatures have approved these
amendment without seeing anything to
object to in them, and we have no doubt
the people will confirm them with their
approval. Media American.

The failure Of the constitutional amend

pending in Pennsylvania. In some re-

lines, and the prediction is made that the
defeat of the proposed constitutional
changes in New Jersey may be repeated
here. We see nothing to justify this
judgment.

wards trans ferred their interests to the
Central Pennsylvania Lumber Co., and
for this firm Mr.. Aul has done the stock
ing down to the present time. In all
these contracts he has shown his ability
as a manager, his work being perfectly
satisfactory to his employers. During

ploy dissatisfied. Some years ago he

AIRsHlPs IN WAR.
Theory That They Would Be Used Az
Means of Attack.

s sSShsS VI ESsH
Discussing the airs41ip in time of war.
Colonel u. j. Lewis, a retired army Of
f1cer, OF Chicago, said to a Washington
Post reporter that In the next CONT
mental wal 1t is uncomfortable that the
effectiveness Of the mode Of attack by
means OF the flying machine will not
be utilized.
Any n can realize the immense
service a practical war airship Of SUI
ficient size can have. Instead of bring
ing up heavy siege guns In case OF
attack 1t would be much mere eco
nom1cal to drop explosive Shells upon
the enemy and vessels decks from
above.
1T will perhaps be urged that the
gas q Of a large airship would offer
a comparatively target" continued the
military man, but at a sufficient eleva-
ton l think this is by no means the
case. During the siege Of LadUsmtth.
in South Africa, I saw myself the cap
tive balloon of the British forces
brought slowly to the GROUND by Boer
rifle fire alone. But then It must be
borne in mind that the balloon was
stationary and at a low elevation, very
little higher h the hill from which
the firing came. A moving atrship at
a considerable elevation would form
a difficult target. and II only slight
damage We're inflicted. there would al
ways be the chance Of its being able
to get outside the enemies lines be-
fore having to come to earth.
"~Shrapne1 fire will probably be found
the most effective against such vessels,
but there u always be the dif1cuaty
OF getting the proper elevation for the
guns, and they could not be fired verti-
cally without the chance Of the proJec-
tiles on their return doing more harm
to the side that fired than to the enemy.
"A curious connection arises between
submarines and airships, because the
latter probably will be used as a
means of attacking the former. At
present submarines are quite invisible
from the ships. they attack, but from
the elevation of a balloon or airship
their movements under water could be
observed with the utmost distinctness.
"Airships win therefore probably be
used ~ re~connottre the movements OF
submarines on behalf of the ships the
latter are about to attack, and may.
furthermore, be used to drop projectiles
upon them. If one fleet employs air.
ships to watch submarines so will it's
enemy. and then the time must come
when the new craft will attack each
other, and the first air fight will take
Eplace."

Federal and confederate forces were

commander and his staff, seated upon

right Of the line, drawn up in the edge
of the woods. General Neal Dow was
standing in front of his command, a very
small one, with a tremendous big hat
on his head and an enormous big sword
dangling on the ground at his side, a

In sight of the entire right wing of

into the opening, his long, heavy sword
clank1ng on the ground behind him, his
big hat making him look like a grass
