Board Grants Full
Pardon to Hunter

At called meeting of the board
oi pardons, held couple of days
since, a full pardon was granted w.
J. Hunter, an applicant for parole,
who was sent to the penitentiary
something over year ago for en-
bezzlement from Humboldt county.
Considerable interest attaches to
the Hunter case, as he was in many
particulars a victim of hard luck.
Prior to his conviction he had been
telegraph operator in the employ
OF the Western Pacific at Winnemuc-
ca. He was not getting a high Wage
and he had sick family on his
hands. Unable to meet the expenses
that followed he Borrowed" little
from the company, and then little
more. Finally he was caught and his
conviction and sentence resulted.
Among the people who took an in
terest in his application for parole or
pardon were ]. E. German, wealthy
railroad man of Chicago, and w. D.
Forster of Goldfeld, the latter max
ing special plea before the board II
Hunters behalf, and Mr.. German
promising that if Hunter were releas-
ed he would provide work and go
bond for him. With this understand
ing the pardon was granted.
Hunter has since left Nevada for
St Louis, where, through Germans
influence, he will be put to work on
the Rock Island road. His wife, who
has been living at Miami, Ariz., has
been provided with transportation
and is already on her way to join her
husband in his new home.

Dixie MinStrelS

The Dixie Minstrels, which will ap-

produce the famous scene taken from
Palm Beach, Florida, at one of the
magnificent hotels where it is custom
ary to entertain the winter tourists
with real darkey performers, and it is
this custom that has given birth to
the minstrel show which is now so
popular throughout the entire coun
try. The beautiful palms and other
floral scenes are all shown in the
scenery carried by this attraction, and
to hear the beautiful singing of the
darkies and the sight OF the pretty
chorus of creole girls who, with their
many changes of gorgeous costumes,
make most striking appearance, is
enough to make one feel that he is
really way down in the Sunny South.
