palladium Specially

Economy. Ind, June 27.-Miss
Olive Belle Picelle of Cleveland. Ohio,
who is the guest here of her sister,
Mrs. Grace Hunt. after having been in
a Clevelond hospital for seven weeks,
was almost scared to death by a horse.
Prompt application of powerful heart
stimulants saved her life.
Miss Picelle was in a hammock on
the lawn of the Hunt home. and Irwin
Hunt, her nephew, and Mrs. Hunt,
were seated nearby, when a friend
drove up the private driveway and
stopped near the group. The horse
began to nibble leaves from a tree
branch and Mrs Hunt jokingly asked
the driver if he ever fed his horse"
The man, embarrassed, jerked the
lines, one line catching in the shaft,
causing the horse to lunge in the di-
rection of the hammock in which
Miss Picelle was reclining. She roll
ed out of the hammock, then arose and
fled screaming across the lawn until
she collided with tree. knocking her
unconscious. She was carried in the
house and was in a serious condition
throughout the night. but is now con-
siderably improved and out of danger.
She thought the horse had killed her
nephew and it was some time before
she could be convinced that he had
met with no harm. ~--'~-

Richmond People.

That true Americans are not in ac-
cord with Canadian justice, or that in

by maudlin sentiment, is indicated by
the signatures to petition, asking
the Canadian governor general to par
don an Italian woman, the murderer of
her husband, who tried to force her
into white slavery" The only peti-
tion in this city is at the Quigley drug
store on North E street and has been

woman is sentenced to hand on Au-
gust 9. The petition is as follows:

"To His Excellency, The Governor
General of the Dominion of Canada,
Ottawa, Ontario, the undersigned res
pectfully petition,

on Mrs. Angelina Napolitano, Saulte
Imprisonment or that she be given a
reprieve so that the child soon to be
born to her be not deprived of a moth
er's love during the first months of it's
life. The evidence in the case shows
that the defendant had great provoca-
tion for the crime committed. 1t has
been proven that at the time of the
crime she was desperate. she was fear
full of her life. She had been dishonor-
ed and in a large measure she was ir-
responsible for her action We believe
therefore. that the ends of justice
would be we'll served by pardoning
