GOVERNOR ISSUES PARDON
 a -i; FOR DEAD MAN

H. B. Clark, a convict who died Nov ember 29, has been granted a pardon by Governor Sloan. It might seem to be an unusual proceeding to issue pardon to dead man, but there are reasons both sentimental and other wise.' --s -s. '' '-'
 ; Clarke was convicted of the crime of uttering a; fictitious check, and on December 20,' 1910,' he was sentenced to serve twenty months in the peni- tentiary. After he had been confined for a time it became apparent he was suffering from paresis and it was con cluded. that he was mentally unbal- ianced, not only then but at the time the offense was committed. He was removed to the insane asylum and died there on the date named.
 The pardon was issued, partly to remove. from Clarke's name: the stig- ma of criminality when fhe was merely the, victim Of misfortune, and partly to clear the record of the case in the
 event it; might be necessary for the
 administration of his estate.

BOX CANYON coNTRo-
 -=' i- VERSY HANGS FIRE

r WINKELMAN4Thu far no definite news has been received in Arizona as to the outcome of the fight between the Southern Pacific and the Casa Grande settlers for the floor of the Gila Box canyon. Although the pow CTS that be in Washington declared some time ago that the decision would be handed down on January 15, the case was again put off this time to an indefinite date but with promise that it would be forthcoming within three weeks from the above date.
 In the meantime, every one inter ested seems confident of success. The Southern Pacific openly declares that the right-of-way over the floor of the canyon will be granted. At the same time the lawyers in Washington for the water users assure their clients that all indications point to a victory for that side.
 Whatever the outcome of the fight, it is generally believed that the Southern Pacific will build a road the canyon, along the low line if pos sible; along the high line if necessary and that thus Winkelman will be put upon the main line of the greatest transcontinental line in the country. In either event if these prophets be wise ones, Winkelman is bound to profit whatever it may prove the, de- cision to be.
 It is held by many that the South ern Pacific while not wanting to build along the high line, will have no choice in the matter as the can yon must be used for railroad pur- poses in order to provide cheaper route to the coast. The grades east of Yuma will be eliminated for freight and passenger trains on transcontln- ental hauls by the use of line thru the canyon, and it is this which the railroad wishes to accomplish.

Focal News From the State

serious a long train of cars loaded with coal showed up on the Santa Fe road. The Portales citizens wanted some of the coal, but the railroad men said it was consigned to other places, and they could not set out a car. The Portales men got out their shooting irons, and told the conductor to set one of the cars of coal on the side track, failing of which his life was the penalty. The conductor wired di- vision headquarters and told the sup erintendent' the situation he was in, and the superintendent advised him to set out and no one froze at Portales. -Lordsburg Liberal.

 The reason for the cessation of the road construction after about 20 miles had been built was that funds to continue were not forthcoming, in view of the impending change from a territorial to a state government, and the inability of the present territorial officers to forecast plans when they are about to leave. --~
