GEORGE BROWN MAY.
GET OUT ON PAROLE
Wonderful Memory Displayed by
Man Who Was Convicted of
Burglary Here

According to an affidavit filed in
superior court. George Brown a pris-
oner in the penitentiary at Walla
Walla. shows that he has an excellent
memory. 1t is barely possible that
Mr.. Brown had reason to remember
what he heard, for the remarks of
bearing on his future life
Following is the story of crime,
clerical error and wiping out of the
mistake
September Z, 1909, George Brown
entered the house of William Haupt
and committed the crime of burglary
in the second degree. The following
day, having been arrested in the mean
time, he appeared before Judge f. b.
Preble of the superior court of Yak
ina county, and pleaded guilty to the
charge. The following day he was
sentenced by the judge. What that
sentence was is unknown, but it
caused Mr.. Brown several hours of
uneasiness. Having served two years
in the penitentiary at Walla Walla.
to which institution he was taken
September 10, 1903, by a guard by
the name of N. l.. Loveall. he made
application for parole. AN examina-
ton of the record showed that Brown
had been sentenced to from to Is
years. Mr.. Brown made affidavit that
he well remembered what the judge
had said when passing sentence, and
that the words he used were from 20
to Is years." not from 80 to Is years"
Prosecuting Attorney j. Lenox Ward
added his affidavit to that of Mr.
Brown, with the result that Judge q.
B. Preble Saturday, March %, Issued
new order, Judgment and sentence.
years. and the order judgment and
sentence are as though they had been
made on the original date.
1t Is quite probable that George
Brown will now be allowed to get out
Of the penitentiary on parole.
The sentence of from 8 to IL years
is the maximum. Judge Preble was
inclined to the belief that he would
not have sentenced Brown to the ex-
IRENE, limit for the first offense. 1t
seems to have been a clerical error.
1t will be noticed that defendant
Brown remembered that the judge
said two and not five as the min
imum part of his sentence. Had he
forgotten what the judge had said, he
might have had to remain in the peni.
Tertiary for an extra three years. 1t

An order was received at Fort Leav-
enworth that the infantry which has
been held in readiness to move at a
moments notice may unpack. Every
organization at the post has been in

mean the trouble in Mexico has sub
sided and that no additional troops
will be needed on the border.

FROM THE EDITOR

Talking of food there is probably 40
professional man subjected to great
er, more wearing mental strain than
the responsible editor of a modern
newspaper.
To keep his mental faculties con-
st; ntly in good working order the
editor must keep his physical powers
up to the highest rate of efficiency
Nothing will so quickly upset the
whole system as badly selected food
ard a disordered stomach, If there
fore follows that he should have right
food, which can be readily assimilated,
and which furnishes true brain nOur-

feel that he did splendid work toward

he will not likely be the chairman Of

ed by common consent should go to
Mr.. Hutchens. Possibly there will be
some discussion over it in the cOncen-

Mr.. Watson will go as a delegate to
