Many strong petitions were pre-
Isented to the governor, but he declin-
ed to entertain only those which were
presented by court officials who Off
eiated at the trial of the convicts
Such a petition was presented for
Royston, and a great many promi-
'nent citizens of Union county backed
up the officials in the petition.
One of the denied petitions was for
the pardon of the Fort Smith police
men who were convicted of malfes-
ance of office for not protecting the
negro who was lynched there last
Spring. The policemen We're removed
from office and fined $100 and asked
for a pardon after the supreme court
declined to interfere with their sen
tence.
Another pardon of peculiar interest
was granted to Ed Baker, serving
eight years for burglarizing a store
in Sheridan. Baker claimed he had
been following a man who confessed
to him that he had robbed a post
office at Carlisle, with the intention
% Turning him over to the federal of
ficials. Baker was caught in company
with the man, after the Sheridan rob-
berry. He claimed to know nothing
about the Sheridan affair, merely
meeting the man at water tank
above town after the crime had been
committed. The pardon was granted
at the request of Postal Inspector
Pierce, who stated Baker was of great
benefit to the department in ferreting
out criminals.

TER PULLING PIN WHICH
FASTENED MAIN GATES.

Specia. to the Log Cabin Democrat
Little Rock, Jan. 3.-A misunder-
standing of signals probably saved the
Arkansas penitentiary a general de-
livery Thursday morning and prevent
ed some Of the most desperate convicts
ever incarcerated in the institution
from gaining their liberty
Shortly before noon tall young
man approached the big gate of the
penitentiary and placed his hand on
the large iron pin which fastens the
double iron swinging door. Turnkey
Patterson saw the man approach but
thinking he was merely person at
tracted by curiosity, paid little atten-
ton to him. He thought the man was
merely endeavoring to look through
one of the bored holes in the door. but
when he saw the man place his hand
on the pin which would permit the
large door to swing open, Patterson
jumped up and drew his revolver or
the stranger. He threatened to shoot
and the man merely looked up at the
guard who was stationed on the high
wall overlooking the gate. The pin
was pulled before the guard realized
what was being done and the man
walked away. The guard thought the
man was intoxicated and did not know
what he was doing, consequently he
was permitted to escape while the Off
GERS of the prison were notified to hur-
ry to the defense of the gate.
1t is thought that this was an effort
to liberate some of the. convicts by a
general rush on the gates. In the
prison at the time were 235 convicts
all white. In this number We're many
of the most desperate men ever cap
tured in Arkansas, and the officials
believe these were cognizant Of the at
tempt at Wholesale delivery, because
at least dozen desperate men were
within few yards of the gate when
the guard turned from the man on the
outside and covered the convicts who
had been given the liberty of the yard.
The central gate of the prison is
about so feet from the office, where a
number of officials were at work at the
time of the attempted delivery, but
the turnkey attends to the door open
ing into the prison from the office, as
well as the central gate, and with an
apparent attack from two sides, he
could only look after the convicts and
prevent their escaping.
The man who pulled the pin of the
gate escaped before the officials arriv-
from the guard.

Parts of Louisiana Wilder Than Afri-

Wilder than the African jungle, more
impenetrable than the tropical forests

says the New York Herald, and none
know with certainty the manner Of
beasts which roam through the mo-
rasses.
AS Capt. Ed Nowland, of the steam
boat Wenona, Of Memphis, puts II:
"The Lord has forgot He ever made
that country around Piaquemine and

government probably doesn't know II

Those two bayous are the most pic
turesque bodies of water I have ever
seen," he said recently. You would think
you had left the United States and Were

much more dense than the Amazon
forests. The Wenona ran over more
alligators than ever dreamed OF being
alive. They fairly swarm in those wa
ters."
Men of Captain Nowland's crew said
that several times alligators were pick
ed up by one of the paddle wheels and
flung into the air. Some Of the animals
landed on the heads Of the crew.
