 ols at their home on the Warren
 .,.d three miles from Pine Bluff on Icunday morning, September 16, 1911,
 vill die on the gallows this morning
 botveen 6 and z o'clock. Governor Donaghey last night announced that
 he would not interfere in any way or
 ,,ant communication of the sentence m N years in the state prison. This final decision of the chief executive came after he had given the case much thought and had heard plea af- ,er plea of his attorney, J. M. Shaw, and repeated requests of Nichols relatives and friends that his life be spared
 Although Nichols and his lawyer expected Governor Donaghey to be lenient, those familiar with the pro- ceedings of the past ten days were sure that the governor would remain firm and he did.
 Story of the Crime.
 Nichols slashed his wife's throat when she went to her former home to take their three small children to her home in Pine Bluff for a few days, lie and her husband being separated at the time while a divorce case. was pending in the chancery court Mrs. Nichols had been given the privilege b, have the children with her at in- tervals; and they were to be with the flther the remainder of the time. Mrs. Gear Parnell had accompanied Mrs. Nichols to her former home in bug v and witnessed the tragedy Mrs. Nichols went into the yard and told the children to get ready for the trip back to town, While they were in the house. Nichols. who was sitting on the porch, asked his wife to go into a house on the premises to talk over the matter with him. She accom- panied him there and they remained there just a few minutes. When they came out the children were ready, the two older tots running to the moth CT and the baby boy, of few years remained on his fathers lap on the porch. Nichols declared that wher the child refused to leave him Mrs Nichols tried to pull him out of his iap He says this enraged him anG TOT few seconds he lost his reason he ran from the porch into the yard pulling his knife from his pocket a: ne ran, and grabbing his wife he ben her head back and slashed her throa Sne ran from the yard, .bathed in he own blood, screaming, and after run nlng about 100 yards down the roat ran onto neighbours porch and drop ped dead.
 Nichols went around his house, en tered the back door and secured { shotgun. He then left the house ant remained in hiding until 6 o'cloc' 'nat night, when he returned to hi nome and surrendered to an officer oelng later turned over to Sheri1 brewster and his deputies. He wa paced in jail where he has been con fined ever since.

of Fossil Remains.
Los Angeles Dispatch to the New York World.
Work on thorough and deeper exca-
walton of the famous La Brea asphaltum
tar beds in a systematic search for the
remains of animals and birds OF the
Pliocene Age has been commenced.
Prof. Reginald c. Stoner. a graduate
of the University of California, has ar
rived at the Hollenbeck from Berkeley
with the commission of bringing forth
from this death trap of the ages" the
wonderful remnants of the tertiary Pc
rod. which for thousands of years have
laid on the outskirts of what is now the
city of Los Angeles.
There are few places discovered in
any portion of the globe that have pro-
duced such perfect specimens of fossil
organism as La Brea tar beds" said
Prof. Stoner. They may possibly re-
veal new features in the science Of pale
ontology and give us even more wonder
full animals than the saber-tooth tiger
and the mighty sloth, remains OF which
have been taken from the deposits with
little effort
These fields have given to science the
mastodon sloth. A recent discovery of
the bones OF this animal revealed a pei
vic bone which measured three and a
half feet across. indicating that Che beast
was more than twenty feet in length.
Research has never been made at any
great depth, and the present expedition
proposes TO go as many feet as possible
under the surface. all the time collecting
the bones of the birds and animals which
were mired in what was probably lake
of oil centuries ago"
Prof Stoner paid a tribute to Mrs.
ErSkine NJ. Ross. formerly Nine Ida
Hancock, on whose property the depos-
its are located, for her generosity in
allowing the university to make the
present researches.
I'VE will do the work systematically,
and ten men will be employed. The fos-

ereu IN this matter Of choosing q good
watch. for a lever set watch
is preferred to the pendant set watch
because there is just the chance that
the stem Of the pendant set may not
be pushed back after setting through
an oversight
ON one great line about 5000
watches worth on an average OF $25
apiece "a low averngel. are used. II
we take into consideration the number
of witches that are used on other
roads throughout the country 1t is
evident that the value must run un
into hundreds of thousands of dollars.
In order that the watch may be kept
up TO n regulHr standard IL must be
inspected regularly. There Is not only
a general time inspector on most rail
roads. but n staff OF local inspectors
who are placed along the road at con-
venient points and to whom the men
may resort when they wish TO COM
pare their time with the standard time
al that place. Once every two weeks
the railroad man submits his watch to
such an Inspector. usually a jeweler
or matchmaker by profession.
The Inspector gives his expert opin-
ion on the condition OF the timepiece.
If II needs cleaning he says so and
does 1t; IL il is fast or slow he regu-
lateS It. and not until it Is running
with sufficient accuracy is 1t allowed
to escape from his care. A watch's
record is kept as If il were a thief. So
far as repairing goes. the railroad man
is under no compulsion. He need not
hand over his watch TO any particular
matchmaker or inspector for repair.
but be can give il 10 any matchmaker
in whom he has confidence. II must.
however. be submitted 70 the in
spector before il can be used in actual
service.
That no favoritism is shown In the
matter OF watches is evident in the
fact that no less than eight diff.

IL may he news TO many that the
