WANT MURDERER PETTY SPARED
IN INTEREST OF SCIENCE

When the board of pardons takes up
the application of G. G. Petty for a
pardon. not only will his two attorneys
be present to plead for him but DR..
A. II. Heppner, who advanced the de-
fense of sadistic insanity for Petty
during the trial. will appear and will
plead TO the members of the board
Of pardons that they reduce Petty's
sentence to life imprisonment and al
low him TO live for the sake of science.
He will endeavor to convince the
members of the board of pardons that
Petty is insane along certain lines and
that he should be held in prison and
there be studied by scientists so that
they may determine some means of
scientifically getting rid Of degenerates
and criminals and saving those who
may not be too far gone by performing
some scientific operation upon them. :.
DR. Heppner has taken a great in
forest in the case Of Petty, the muir
dorer as he does in all eases where
there may be a chance to do something
for science. and he now claims that
Petty is degenerate and that his
offspring will show certain signs OF this
deeeneracy.
He therefore argues that for the sake
Of humanity Petty should be allowed
TO live. but as punishment should be
confined for the remainder of his life

cation.

types of degeneracy should be treated

GREAT IMPETUS GIVEN
NEW MEXICO AGRICULTURE

The preparations of the reclamation
service for the construction Of the big
Engle dam have given a great impetus
to agricultural development in that
part of New Mexico, according to a
statement issued by the reclamation
service, says a Washington dispatch.
The increase in the value Of lands
in the first unit of the Rio Grande pro-
iect, it was said, has been taken as an
indication of future prosperity
throughout the irrigable areas.
Under the Leasburg diversion last
year, 22,500 acres were irrigated and
the acreage this year, it was said,
doubtless would exceed that amount.
The value of land under cultivation at
present varies from 800 to $500 per
acre, and that of raw land from $50 to
$50. AS comparison, it was pointed
out that the value of the land under
cultivation at the time of the prelimi-
nary survey was $40 to $40 per acre
and that of raw land SO to $40.
The majority of theland is now in
the hands Of Americans, ii was added,
while previous to the advent OF the
reclamation service. it was controlled
by farmers of Mexican extraction.

WONDERFUL EXHI-
B|TION OF nerve

Saturday evening Drs. King and
Mangan returned from National
where they had been called Friday ev.
ening to attend to the injuries receiv-
ed by Frank and George Stall in the
cavern ON the Stall lease. The physi.
clans reported that they left their pa.
tients resting easily and had hopes of
their rapid recovery.
During the dressing of their wounds
both brothers gave an exhibition of
fortitude and nerve rarelf, IL ever,
equaned. Neither one was given an
enaesthetic, and during the trying
hours the surgeons were operating not
groan or a complaint escaped their
lips. In the case Of Frank Stall,
whose left leg was SO badly shattered
that the bones were protruding in sew.
eral places, the surgeons took up the
shattered bones, then took a knife and
removed the flesh from around the
holes and swabbed the wounds with
caustic. During the ordeal Frank Law
there, evidently an interested spectat-
or, giving no more indication of pain
than a wooden Indian.
Frequent reports have been received
from the camp since the return of the
physicians Saturday evening, all Of an
encouraging nature. This morning Drs.
King and Mangan left for Natioal in
Ed Smith g auto for the purpose of Wis
iting their patients.
Owing to the long distance and the
rough roads between National and
Winnemucca, it has been deemed in.
expedient to attempt the removal of
the injured men for the present, and
accordingly they will be made as com
Portable as possible at the camp.
Sunday afternoon Mr.. and Mrs. En-
reed and Mrs. Mary Fletcher arrived
from Marysville, California, and left
at once for camp. The ladies, who are
sisters of the Stall brothers, will re-
main with them as long as they can be
of any service.

PLUCKY NEVADA TEACHER
VISITS NATIONAL ASSOOIAxI(

Vl6lx6 NAIxONA4 A0OOO4A 84O3s
A dispatch from the east tells how
Miss Rose Evans, Nevada teacher,
succeeded in attending the annual
meeting of the National Educational
Association, recently held in Boston:
Miss Rose Evans, q teacher, came
across the great Nevada deserts In four
days, her coach being q springiess
blackboard, drawn by four bronchos,
the chief amusement of which was
bucking and kicking. Her driver was
a cowboy with a penchant for what ne
called "red eye," and on each side OF
the blackboard rode two cavallere, VINO
her across the wateriess
sands with tales of how many had Deen
killed in attempts to cross the desert,
and how few ever succeeded In making
the trip alive.
However. Miss Evans and her party
arrived safely and in record time, and
she boarded the train for the east. The
reason for crossing the desert in this
nr;mit;ve manner was the Lack Of ready
money coupled with determination to
reach the teachers national conven-
t;on When she had finished her four
days' trip, she had to sell the bronchos
10 get enough money to complete the
trip to the meeting Of the National Ed
ucational Association.
"They don't pay trust company
wages for school teachers in the west,
