PETITION
Seal

In the Case of William Galbraith
From Webster County.
To His ~Excelleucy, John II. Morehead,
Governor of the State Of Nebraska.
We, your petitioners respectfully
pray that II pardon may be granted to
William Gaibraith, undergoing sen
tence for burglary, at the October 1917
term of the District Court, within and
for Webster County, Nebraska, for the
following reasons:
The said william Galbraith does not
belong to the criminal class, but, when
not under the influence of his appetite
for liquor, is an industrious citizen and
devoted To his family,
lie Was not, in the opinion of the
majority of the people of Red Cloud,
guilty of the crime charged against
him. AT the most, hi, oifeuse is be,
lieved by us to be petty larcency from
the railroad company, while he vas
intoxicated.
His friends here, knowing his weak.
ness for liquor, thought his arrest IA
good opportunity to reform him in the
matter of drink.
They persuaded him to plead guilty,
assuring him that the sentence would
bc suspended under the provisions OF
e664xi Cobbsy's A Statute 1911. He
acted under their advice. Judge Dun
gan suspended sentence, aud at the
suggestion of his friends, threatened
him with the full penalties of the law
IL he again indnlged in drink. Gal
braith kept his parole with fidelity
until just before his year expired
when having yielded TO his appetite fol
drink he failed to appear at court.
There seemed to be no alternative
for the court except to sentence hin
to the penitentiary; and we, who sigr
this petition, either recommend thi,
procedure TO the court, or approve it
believing that Il few mouths enforced
abstinence from liquor would enabl,
him to conquer his appetite. lie has
now pSCh bubc III jan Iuc pchi
Tertiary for six months, and we believ,
that he eau be safely trusted at liberty
He has a wife and seven children
who are now largely supported by tn,
public, aud whom he supported previ
Gus to his incarceration.
His sentence and Imprisonment wer,
really the result of his friends advice
and action as u measure to reform hin
in the matter of temperance, rathe
than to punish him as a criminal. w
believe that he can now be restored t.
his family and the community as
useful citizen.
We expect that the letters of j. 5
Gillian, who appeared as his attorney

torney, of Z. j. Overing Jr., and of hi

FUMBLES PLAY BIG PART

Coming with a rush in the second
half, the East Side High School foot
ball team yesterday afternoon de-
feated the Orange High School eleven
at Orange, by score Of 20 to Z. The
East Side eleven was without the
services of Joe Cir1incione, its star
halfback, who Was unable to be on
hand, Orange High Schools warriors
scored their lone touchdown in the
latter part of the game. when Coach
Butterworth rushed his substitutes to
the forward line. Bongiavanni, Bien
and Sievering scored East Sides
touchdoWns, while Bernard accounted
for placing the ball behind the East
Side posts for the Orange eleven
1t was not until the third quarter
that East Side registered a touch
down, and this came after some good
hard work on the part of Bongia
vanni, Horns and Lazron. Bongia-
vanni made an end run of twenty
yards on his way to the goal posts.
Horns also hit the line hard and
Bongiavanni carried the ball over,
only to tumble. The oval, however,
was recovered by Sievering and went
for a touchdown. Bien scored the
second touchdown, after he had olev-
erly blocked "a kick and ran twenty
five yards for a score Holman, a
tackle on the East Side team, was
mainly responsible for the third East
Side touchdown. He grabbed a
fumbled ball and ran for forty yards
before being downed in the vicinity
of Oranges thirty yard mark. Bon

got busy with line rushes and the
former player scored. Braeder sue
ceeded in kicking two out of three
goals after a touchdown had been
made.
Bernard scored Oranges six points
when he made a good run of forty
yards, being downed on East Sides

SCHOOLDOYS FAIL
TO REACH DECISION
Plans for Second East Orange
Rutherford Football Game
Again Fall Through.
SITE QUESTION THE CAUSE

Once again the proposed second
game OF football between the East
Orange and Rutherford High School
teams is declared off. East Orange
tried its best to have Rutherford APP
pear at East Orange Saturday, in
place Of Dickinson High School. The
team representing the latter school
asked for a postponement until a
week from Saturday. This left East
Orange with Saturday open and, as
Rutherford also had the date open,
the managers Immediately got busy
only to meet much the same fate as
the Army and Navy officials, Mana
ger Warner, of East Orange, contended
that the former game, which resulted
in tie, should be staged at Ashland
Field, East Orange, while Principal
Van Alta remained firm in his con-
tention to have the game played at
Rutherford.
Principal Van Alta says his team
will not, by any means, go to East Or
ange Saturday. The head of the
Rutherford institution claims that one
game away from home with East Or
ange is enough for one season. Ruth
erford is looming up as champion
ship possibility. The team would ike
to play East Orange again, but the
players, like their principal, do not
care to have the game played away

day, unless Dickinson can be induced

Newark is still agog over the ex-
pose Of the proposed fake fight be-
tween Jim Savage and Charley Wei
merit. The sports are talking IN
chunks about it. The desire to see
the men battle was very keen and
the fans are very sore because the
bout is not to occur Weinert seems
to be coming in for the most criti-
cism The opinion is rather general
that Weinert didn't care much about
meeting Savage and that he was
glad of chance to call the bout off.
He wasn't in the best of condition, it
is said, while he learned to his heart S
sorrow that Savage had been train
ing faithfully for two weeks and was
in tip-top shape Despite all the
eensure of Weinert, Percy Woodruff
is the one who really suggested the
fake and he is the one to be
roasted However, Woodruff open
confession and his declaration that
Savage was to fight on the level,
which seems plausible. have made 1t
rather easy for Percy to get away
with. The public, however, has its
own opinion, and only the future will
tell what that opinion is.
%
Weinert was a visitor at the Eve
ming Star Office this morning. He is
all "het up" over the affair. He says
he meant to fight on the level and
that he would have beaten Savage
sure. He said he would fight Savage
any time and he insisted that the
fight must take place, sooner or later.
He said he was anxious to vindicate
himself, and the best way to do that
would be for him to meet Savage in
the ring. He declared he would bet
Woodruff 81 900 that he could beat
Savage, after which he said he
guessed he would now go up in the
find him. In fact, Weinert was all
out of sorts. He knows the public is
sore over the whole affair and he
surely feels that he is at least part
TO blame. With tears In his voice he
said:
1T want to square myself with the
public. / am on the level and meant
to fight on the level, and I would give
everything / have in the world to get
into the ring. We must fight
that's all there is to it-and-and
what whipping I'll give Jim when
we meet"
Both Woodruff and Savage felt the
same way about it. They seem to
think that the fight ought to take
place, even if they didn't get cent
for their share There is a soreness
between all concerned and the men
would surely box on the square.
Manager Wood says he wouldn't al

the right view of 1t. The men might
secure an engagement in New York
and the club that gets the bout would
do we'll Savage is anxious to fight
and Weinert says he is just
crazy to fight Jim. There is talk that
the men will come together when
they meet on the street, but that
would be entirely out of order.
Things are bad enough as they are
without bringing about a street
orawl.

exposing the fake, would have been
