Governor Stuart Saturday decided
that Alton V. Hoover, twice convicted of
the murder OF his wife, Cora Hoover, at
Atlantic, Crawford county, on the night
of November q. 1907, is to be hanged on
February %, according to sdvices re-
ceived from Harrisburg. Since Hoover's
second trial in Erie county, when he was
convicted of first degree murder after
hard legal battle, his parents and at
torneys have set forth every effort to Sc
cure new trial, com mutation of sent
ence to life imprisonment or a pardon.
Every effort has been in vain and they
realized some weeks ago that there was
no hope left for the young man.
The REPUBLICAN acknowledges a
pleasant call from J. s. Vail, of West
Hickory, yesterday. One of Mr.. Wallis
driving teams INDUCED in peculiar run
away one day last week that furnished no
little excitement for time, but did not
result seriously. Starting near the West
Hickory depot the horses ran up the
track, crossed the river bridge and tore
down the river road on the east side. On
the "narrows" they passed no less than
three igs without collision of any kind,
the runaways keeping the outside OF the
road and so close to the steep embank-
ment that the wheels of the vehicle
lacked but six inches of going over. The
team ran as far as the county home,
distance of about four miles, VIII re they
were halted. Neither horse was injured,
and the rig was damaged only to the ex-
tent of a couple OF dollars.
