Especial to The Republican,

(SDecial to The RepuDucan)
 FLORENCE, Nov. 26.-William Fall tin was not executed today. In spite of the fact the board of pardons and paroles refused to take action Warden sims could not see his way clear to execute Faltin.
 It was noticeable about the prison this morning. that today had not been selected for an execution. There was an air of suppressed excitement, flav- ored with general buoyancy of spirit on the part of all the officials. Faltin, though he had not been informed that the execution was off was aware that his day had not come, due to the fact he had not been prepared for death in the usual manner. He had asked to be shaved and otherwise prepared for his final hour, but had been told by the death watch to hold his horses
 Sims stated this morning that he could not execute Faltin in the face of the affidavit signed by Dr. O. F. PIath and Dr. W. c. Randall. Assis- tant Attorney General Harben deliv- cred Attorney General Jones letter to the warden on his arrival this morn ing. Sims stated the letter would have no effect on his conduct in regard to the hanging. He informed Haroen he would have preferred to have had letter containing a legal opinion. He also told Harben he could not rely upon Jones' opinions and that if he had follCwed-his letter of instructions in the VTlalobos case, he would have been brought up for manslaughter and contempt Of the supreme court. It was on the advice of private counsel that he refused to follow the attorney generals instructions in this case. Sims expressed the opinion that if MT. Jones had been as determined to put through the three-cent fare law, as he was to "besmirch his hands with the blood of the men condemned here" he would be doing something the taxpayers would be benefited by.
 The board met as soon as the members arrived. Shortly after nOon Chairman Trott called on MT. Sims and informed him the board had re- fused to take action. This. according to Jones. left not a legal leg for Sims to stand on This did not deter the warden from his course. He is posi- tive he is right and will do his duty as he sees it. My shoulders are broad enough to carry all the criticism" he said.
 Faltin was interviewed in the death cell this afternoon. He resented the fact anyone was permitted to see him He cursed in answer to questions and told those present they should be ashamed to come in and see him. He called The Republican representative bad names, and accused the paper of having printed lies about him.

FERRY HEIRS SHARE ALIKE.

Portion Of Property Break Will.

Daughters Who Were Left Interests IN
Portion Of Property Break Will.
Sigourney, Janu. 4.@The jury In the
case Of Loughridge VS.. Elizabeth Ferry,
ct al, returned verdict in favor OF the
plaintiff after four hours deiiberation.
Mr.. Ferry made his will aonetime IN
1910 and died in April, 1913. BY the
provisions Of the will he devised one
third Of all real and personal property
70 his wife, Elizabeth A. Ferry. abso-
lutely. The remaining two-thirds ne
disposed Of as follows: A life estate OF
one-seventh thereof with remainder to
their children to each Of the i've
daughters, viz: Martha NJ. Lough-
ridge, Mary E. Bowker, Lille M. Wood,
Lisetta Price. Leona B. Stacks; and
then disposed Of the residue one-sev-
enth each to his two sons, James u.
Ferry and John B. Ferry the shares OF
his sons going to them In fee simple.
In this case It Is contended that Ches-
ter A. Ferry made his will while so en-
feebled mentally as not to possess the
legal capacity for making his Will. The
court appointed D. T. Stockman as
guardian ad Item for William Lough-
ridge, incompetent, and for Evan WOOD
and Grace Wood, minor.
1t IS q very rare tA4iiS Aoi lAo Pto8
bate Of a will to be set aside in this
county. In this case 1t is accounted
for by the fact that Mr.. Ferry was a
yery old man very far in his decline
in senility when he made his Will and
4 was question whether he possessed
the legal capacity required by the law
n order to be allowed to dispose of his
property by will. His Ave daughters
had all helped him by working hard
In the field for years and years to en-
able him to accumulate his estate Of
some $4,000, and to have sustained the
will would have necessitated that their
shares should have been held In sus-
pension practically until their separate
deaths and then have gone to their re-
Spective children.

Indian Troop, sensitive

Correspondence of Associated Press
London, Dec. 20-Absurd stories
about the cast habits Of the Indian SOL
diers will make trouble at the front,
says Gen. O'Moore Greagh.
One correspondent wrote that the
Ghurkas had been given a special dis
pensation to eat beef and drink porter,
like the British soldiers. Nothing
could be worse insult to the Ghurka,
says General Creagh.
The British press has lavished Its
praise almost entirely on the Ghurkas
and Sikhs, to the neglect Of other fight
ing castles. There are. for instance,
three regiments of Dogras. who, altho
of poor physique. are the coolest under
fire of any Of the native soldiery. Some
OF the best fighting Indians are the
Punjab Mohammedans.
A popular mistake is that the Ghur-
kas throw their kukrim or carved knife,
at the enemy. They do not throw it,
but use 1t so skillfully that they can be-
head buffalo calf at single blow.

Eldora, JAN 4.-Should the official

were supplied with so cent revenue

In this particular. as In several otners'
might have been more explicit.
Attorney General Cosson was called
to the phone and the question was
submitted to him. His opinion was
that bonds OF county and township
officers required no stamps. but at the
request of the board he agreed to send
written opinion on the question Tues
day or Wednesday Of this week. In the
meantime the old officers are holding
over and the new ones are waiting"
County Auditor Boylan had his bond
in early, supplied with stamp and 1t
was approved at the December session
before the question now presented
arose.
The matter is being watched with
no little anxiety, as the law requires
that "The several officers before en-

and by giving, when required, bond.
which qualification shall be perfected
before noon of the second secular
