were In the year 1912, the amount

TOM sUPEXOR PARDONED.
Released From County Jail on Gus
ditional Parole by Executive CIR
der Of Governor AmmOns.

Tom Supenor was released from
the county jail last Wednesday on an
executive order of conditional pa
role issued by Governor Ammons ON
December 2Sth. His friends have
worked tooth and toe nail for weeks
to get Tom out OF Jail to celebrate
either Christmas or New Years, but
failed to connect until the executive
order was issued by the governor.
Tom has made a solemn promise that
he will be good In the future, and
has signed pledge that he will hon.
estly comply with the conditions Of
the parole. There are q lot of peo-
pie In Rocky Ford. whoever. who are
from Missouri, on any promise,
signed or otherwise, made by Tom.
that he will be good In the future.
but they will probably have to give
him chance. The governor has is
sued his ukase. and there is no ap-
peal from an executive order In mat
ters OF this kind.
Tom was tried In the district
court on June s. 1914. and convict
ed OF making an assault with a dead
ly weapon upon citizen of Rocky
Ford. II was not until November 6,
1914. that he was called into court
and sentenced to term OF ninety
days In the county jail at hard la
bor." A fine OF $500 and costs was
also imposed. and II was ordered by
the judges that he should stand COM
mitted until the fine and costs were
paid. He has been ID Jail since that
date until last Wednesday.
In November Toms bank roll In
the Rocky Ford National Bank was
garished ON an execution issued out
OF the district court. and the fine OF
5000 and costs. amounting In all to
s3oo.20. was recovered and paid In
to the district court.
Toms friends. however. wanted
to get him out Of Jail. Petitions
were circulated and extensively sign-
! I'd and presented to Judge Rissr ask
Ing that an order for his release be-
issued. This finally brought forth
an order from Judge Rixer to Sheriff
Yant. on December goth. which read
as follows:
II write to say that II Mr.. Supen-
or viii pay as much as 500 Of his
fine and the costs. you may let him
go ms Christmas gift.'
Sheriff Yant. however. refused to
recognize this order. and said that
I nothing but n pardon from the gov
ernor would get Tom out OF jail.
This executive order OF conditional
parole was finally forthcoming and
reads as follows:

The cowboys OF Southeastern Col

gave their tenth annual ball Al Elks'

the largest Of the entire series. prob.

Of the huge snow storm that visited
this section IN December Of last
year. and the cowboys were busy
looking after their stock on the
plains.

department which represents the
championship of the United States

competition is now going on under
the supervision OF army and national
guard officers, each club being repre-
sented by ten men shooting course

WASHINGTON, d. c., July 2b-
Rifle shooting is having a great boom
in the country just at the present
time, interested undoubtedly having
been considerably aroused In target
shooting owing to the almost unlver-
sal demand for better state OF pre-
paredness for the country's defense.
Not only the regular services by the
civilians at large and students IN
colleges and schools are taking con-
siderable interest in rife training
and local, Interstate and national
tournaments will be numerous DUR
ing the next three months. ,Fa
AS a result of this present agitation
and state of mind, all the states are
taking increased interest in the big
national event to be run OFF by the
government at Jacksonville, Fla.,- IN
october. Maryland and Pennsylya-
MIA are the only states in the union
which have positively. declined to give
their national guard the benefit OF
training team for these matches.
Three other states are doubtful but
are making every effort to overcome
the difficulties so that they can be
represented. They are California,
Washington and Virginia. The Uni
ted States navy has also declined to
send a team Notwithstanding the
navy representatives have made
splendid records in past years 1n.the
competition. For the first time
these matches have been thrown open
to teams of cadets from military
schools and colleges.

FRIENDSHIP

1t is an iuestimable blessing for any
man or woman to possess u friend; one
human soul in whom complete conf
dence may be reposed; one who knows
the best and worst of us, and who loves
us in spite of all our faults; who will
speak the honest truth to las while the
world tIatters us to our face and laughs
at us behind our backs, who will give
us counsel and reproof in the day Of
plosperity.and self-conceit, but Who
again, will comfort and encourage MS
in the day of difficulty and sorrow,
when the world leaves us alone to fight
out our own battle.
If we have had the good fortune to
win the esteem Of such a friend, let us
do anything rather than lose him. We
must give and forgive, live and let live,
If our friends have faults. we must bear
with them. We must hope all things,
believe all things, endure all things,
rather than lose that most precious of
all earthly possessions, trustworthy
friend.
Friends may part, notmerely in body
but in spirit, for awhile. In the hustle
Of business and the incidents of life they
may lose sight of each other for years;
they may begin to differ in their sue
cess in life, in their opinions, in their
habits and there may be for IA time
eodness and enlargement between
them; but not forever if each remains
trusty and true.
