HOW TEN MEN PUT TAR ON
GIRL NEAR LINCOLN, KANSAS

LINCOLN CENTER, Kansas
While the young victim listened
calmly Chester Anderson, a laborer,
today related to jury the story of
how 10 men, including himself,
dragged Miss Mary Chamberlain, a
school teacher, from a buggy and
poured warm tar on her naked body.
Anderson said he arranged with
Edward Ricord, a barber, to take the
girl for a buggy ride so that she
might be captured by the men, and
told of going back to Clark's Hill to
notify the gang"
When Miss Chamberlain and Ri
cord came along Anderson said that

pistols at them and halted the pair
Two other men wearing masks took
the school teacher out of the buggy
and Rtcord got out and hid. After
the tar had been rubbed on Miss
Chamberlain she was helped into her
clothes. With tar dripping from her
she got into the buggy and drove
away with RicOrd.
Four of the men who perpetrated
the outrage have been sentenced to
a year each in Jail, following pleas

QUEER MONSTER OF THE DEEP

Played Tag With Vessel Four Days,

and When 1t Failed to Respond
Tried to Push 1t Out of Sea.
HOUSTON, Texas.-An unknown
monster of the deep, forty feet in
length, copper colored and with a
head over Is feet in width, for four
days and nights played tag with the
fishing schooner Mendocino, and
when the schooner failed to respond
vainly tried to push it out of the
sea.
The fish appeared the second day
out, coming to the surface about a
half mile astern of the Mendocino,
and all of the day it could be seen
leisurely trailing the vessel, rolling
over and disporting itself as it kept
pace with the ship.
For three days the fish kept astern
OF the vessel, when it decided to per-
feet closer acquaintance. Putting
on speed it came abreast of the ship
and started some antics which caus-
ed no little concern aboard the ship.
Running alOnside it would scrape it
self against the side of the vessel,
scOOt ahead and then roll and lay
on its back until the vessel caught
up. Then it would dive under the
vessel or swim around it as if in
play.
Evidently the fish became disgust
ed over the failure of the vessel to
play and planned a fight The watch
ing sailors saw the fish, sweeping
leisurely astern, suddenly disappear.
A minute later the vessel shook from
stem to stern as though hitting a
rock. 1t keeled a little, but righted
itself as the fish came to view at its
side. Diving again and again the
fish jammed it's blunt nose on the
bottom of the vessel, the result be-
ing only a tremor.
Failing to make the vessel play or
fight the fish rose to the Surface and
with a mighty slap of it's tail on the
water sank from view. A few mo-
ments later it was sighted a mile
astern, swimming from the ship.
That was the last seen of it.
The monster evidently was well
along in years, for it was covered
with barnacle, some as large as a
saucer. Revolver and rifle balls fired
from the deck of the ship ait close
range had no effect,

THE HOME LIGHTS GLINNER
MORE APPEALING ARE PRAYERS
TO GOVERNOR FOR PARDON.
As Holidays Grow Near Every Agen-

ecutive Clemency.
ATLANTA, Ga.-Acting Governor
Slaton is already feeling the heavy
pressure brought to bear on a gov
ernor in the matter of pardons, and
through letters, petitions and person
al appeals q good part of each work
ing day is taken up.
That he will exercise the pardon
ing power with extreme care he has
already made plain. Like Governor
Brown he feels keenly the response
biHty resting on the executive in the
matter of liberating persons duly
convicted and sentenced to the peni-
tertiary
Governor SIaton has so far acted
on only two cases-both negroes
without influence and who had either
served. q long time or were old and
WORKOUT. In one case the negro
pardoned had served more than 10
years, and had a badly injured leg
received while a convict. In both
cases the governor believed that JUS
tice and right would be properly
applied by granting paroles, which
he did.
Governor Slaton says that it is per-
haps a fact that too often personal
influence has proved too great a fac
tor in securing pardOns, while cases
of equal merit and perhaps exactly
similar in nature have been allowed
to go because the party had no intlu-
entail friends to work in bis behalf.
The pardon docket of the prison
commission always contains from one
to two hundred applications, as is
probably natural, where 5000 I'M
foTtunates are concerned.
But it is a fact that about the hOl-
idays both the convicts and their
friends become more insistent for
mercy. 1t is due perhaps to the hui
man longing to be near home asso-
Citations and friends during the hOli-
day season, and the belief that the
spirit of the season brings softer and
more yielding feelings to the breasts
of those who deal with the pardon
ing power.
In times past this has proven true
to a large degree, for the number lib
Grated in November and December
ran above the average for other
months. Governor Slaton, however,
will investigate every case he acts
upon infinitely, and will take no
favorable action without the cases
are of exceptional merit.
Under the circumstances it is
probable that fewer pardons and pa
roles will be issued during the holi-
day season this year than for a long
time before.

COLUMBUS, Ohio.-In addition to
the democratic victories in the three
great cities of Ohio, Cleveland, Gin
cinnati and Columbus, just freshly
recorded by the electors, another sig
nificant index of the public pulse in
Ohio is the result of the election lust
had for delegates to Ohio's consti-
tutional convention.
These members were elected from
precisely the same districts as were
the members of the lower house of
Ohio's general assembly in 1910. By
virtue of the tremendous majority
that Governor Harmon received last
fall, to-wit, 100000, the democrats
for the first time in 81 years carried
the house of representatives. The
respective party strength is:
DEMOCRATS ........... .......... 90

independents .........
The party lineup in the new con-
StitutiOnal convention elected in
1911 is as follows:

This shows that Ohio democracy,
with Governor Harmon as their lead
er, has made even a better showing
in 1911 than the unprecedented vic
tory in 1910.
Can there be any longer any doubt
ing Thomases as to the ability of
Governor Harmon to carry Ohio in
1872? Ohio is needed to make vic
tory possible.
