25 YEARS EACH.

Joe Davis and Jeff Spurlock, convicted of robbing the Golden State Limited train at Apache on the night of September 7, 1916, were sentenced by Judge William Sawtelle in the United States court yesterday morning to serve 25 years each in the federal penitentiary on McNeil Island, off the coast of the state of Washington, says the Tucson Star.
 Both men received sentence in silence. Davis, who is noted at the county jail for his liveliness and ready jokes, wore a solemn countenance as he faced Judge Sawtelle. Neither man had any comment to make as the two left the court room under heavy guard
 The men were found guilty on all five counts of an indictment charging them with train rob bery. Judge Sawtelle sentenced them to 25 years on the fifth count, 25 years on the fourth, five years on the third and three years each on the second and first counts, with announcement that all sentences are to run Davis and Spurlock, in serving out the first 25-year sentence, will automatically serve all the other sentences, the actual limit of confinement being 25 years.
