LIQUOR OR PRISON BARS
w. I'll. Long Is Compelled to Choose
Between Them.

# w. H. Long takes a single drink of
whisky he will have to go to the .peniten-
imposed upon him by Judge A. W.Dana
Of the district court. This is a portion
his parole today from Governor w. R.
Stubs. Harry F.. Due Berry, formerly a
now a foreman In the santa Fe shops, has
agreed to look after Long and has prom
lsed Governor Stubbs that the first time
be taken to the jail and allowed to serve
out his term in the penitentiary without
ing out of the sentence of the court
Long was granted his parole this morn
ing and is now free man except for one
thing. He must not touch whisky. The
moment he does that he forfeits all rights
to executive clemency and not single eff
fort will be made, according to those who
have interested themselves in his case, to
save De hing soo from on the Peniten nea
an application for mercy for Long. He
has long been an employee of the Santa
into trouble. Due Berry, who has had
considerable experience with prisoners is
believes that with the proper treatment
Long will never make anolner such break
as he did when he helped the two Slusher
boys rob an east side grocery.
He has agreed, with the officials, to
watch after Long and the moment he vio-
role turn him over to the officers
Long was convicted of burglary in the
district court. He had always borne a
good reputation, The Slusher boys needed
help to rob the store which they had de-
cided to rob. They decided Long was the
man to help them and that his place was
the place to hide the stolen goods until
they could dispose of them. They met
Long at the Santa Fe yards when he had
finished his days work and was, return
ing to his family. They offered him a
drink and he took it. Several more were
offered and taken.
After Long, still exhilarated by the burn
ing liquor, had finished his supper they
called on him again and gave him more
liquor. Then they persuaded him to help
them rob the grocery store. They did not
want him. to do much. Just enough to
prevent him from talking. They hid the
stolen goods in his place.
Next morning Long awoke and was
overcome by remorse at the thought of
his actions the night before. He would
make the boys get the stolen goods off
his premises. But he had helped steal
them. He was a thief as much as they
were. All he could do was wait and hope
he would not be arrested.
But he was arrested and the truth came
out. Long soon found that he had hun
dreds of friends of whom he did not
know. And right Loyalty did they rally
to his succor. At the Long home are four
children. They were not to be deprived
of a father because that person had made
one misstep. And through the kindly eff
forts of his friends Long today is free
man-until he takes drink of whisky.
