known Alaska newspaper man and a

mously endorsed by the King county
Democratic committee for the position
OF state printer. Efforts are being
made to influence Governor Lister to
appoint Mr.. Troy. There are several
reasons why Mr.. Troy seems to be
entitled to the appointment. In the
first place he is thoroughly competent;
in the second place he was largely in
strumental in rolling up the majority
in King county which elected Mr.. Lis
ter, and in the third place the wishes
of the King county Democrats are en-
titled to serious consideration by Gov
ernor-elect Lister for he owes his cleo
ton to splendid efforts and loyalty Of

Blood, Dago Frank, Lefty Louie,
and Whitley lewis, gunner, were
sentenced to be electroeuted in
Sing Sing prison for the murder
of Herman Rosenthal during the
week beginning January 6, by
Justice Golf today.
The affair was carried out with
all the heavy stuff usually pulled
in a ten-twent' -thirt' melodrama.
Long before the gunner arriv-
ed. the court room was crowded
with well dressed men and wo-
men, all hungry to hear fellow hui
man beings sentenced to death.
Sheriff Hamburger marched in
to the court room ahead of the
gunner, wearing a dark scowl
and a long overcoat. In the side
pockets of the overcoat were two
big army revolYers.
Hamburger gripped the revol-
vers in a sort of do-or-die fashion
all the time he was in court with
the gunner.
The sentencing itself was short,
sharp and to the point. Judge
Lawler, who presided at the Abe
Ruef and other graft trials of San
Francisco, was on the bench be-
side Golf.
The district attorney moved
that sentence of death be pro
nounced on the. gunner. The
clerk of court asked the prisoners
if they had any reason to give
why sentence should not be
passed.

that the verdict was contrary to
the law and the evidence.
Justice Golf sentenced the gun
men; Whitley Lewis and Dago
Frank first; then Gyp the Blood
and Lefty Louie.
Twelve of Harburger's biggest
deputies, all gripping revolyers,
closed in around the gunner, and
hustled them downstairs.
A solid steel van, with another
dozen armed deputies around it,
was waiting there, and the gun
men were pushed into it.
The van drove to the Grand
Central station. Armed deputy
sheriffs were scattered up and
down the platform. There were
a dozen around the entire day
coach which Hamburger had re-
served for the gunner.
Still gripping his reviewers IN
der his coat, Hamburger followed
the gunner into the day coach.
The train pulled out. The gun
men were on their way to join
Police Lieut.. Becker in the death
house at Sing Sing.
A notice of appeal, which will

KING ANNOUNCES
FAIR MEETING

J. A. King, manager of the Faux
ner county fair, and chairman of the
temporary state organization of coun-
ty fairs, formed at Little Rock June
10, has issued call to the secretaries
and officials of the 26 county fair as
soc ations in Arkansas to meet in the
office of c. W. Watson at the old
state house in Little Rock July 8 at
II o'clock a. m. to effect permanent
organization. This was the date
agreed upon at the first meeting,
which was called by Secretary George
r. Bedding of the state fair The pur-
pose of the organization is to promote
the interest in county fairs through
out the state, form compact circuits
which would avoid conflicting dates in
the same territory and enable each
fair to have a better class of attrac-
tons and racing stock.
The state fair, it is believed, will
also be benefited, as the new organic
alton will attempt to adopt uniform
premium lists conforming to the reg
ulations of the state far and thus
greatly increase the number and va
riety of eligible entries of products
at the Hot Springs fair.
