Seek Pardon Alfred
Man from Prison

Executive clemency in behalf of
THOMAS II. Youlton of Alfred is
sought in a petition just filed at
the office of the secretary of State.
Co-signers with the prisoner on the
petition are several residents of
Lowell, Mass. and Enfield, N. H.,
who are interested in the prisoners
release. Youlton is serving from
seven and a half to Is years in
States prison at Thomaston for the
crime of highway robbery, having
been committed to prison January
26, 1923.
The following reasons are set
forth in asking for pardon or a
Communication of change:
THAT he has already served long
enough to be thoroughly repentent
of and regret his offense and there
fore the aim of justice is already
attained.
THAT the original sentence of
seven to 10 years for a first Of
Tense seems particularly severe for
an lS-year-old boy that the present
warden seems to find SO tractab BILE
and reliant.
NJ. and his wife, Lois Anne, of En-
field, N. H., stand ready to imme-
diately take him into their house
hold as his foster parents, with
intentions of legally adopting him
if ultimately it becomes mutually
agreeable"
The petitioners also stress the
point that the prisoner has the
tendency to repeatedly catch cold
at the slightest exposure, making
them nearly continuous, and tina,
further confinement is very apt to
develop into pulmonary tuberculo-
sis.
Hearing on this petition will be
assigned by the Governor and Coun-
Gil at their next meeting.

week.
The colonel, according to Major
Decker, was returning from an
arduous days hunting, and found
an enormous porcupine seated on
the doorstep Of the camp. The por-
cupine, who had evidently passed
the summer In the camp, allowed
that lieutenant-colonel meant moth
ing In his young life, and refused
to vacate his position. A terrific
struggle ensued, with cuss-words
and quilts flying in all directions.
and the colonel finally managed to
land solidly behind the hedgehog
right ear with meat-axe from the
camp culinary department, ending
the skirmish with the well-known
dull, sickening thud." The weight
of the deceased porcupine was va
riously estimated at between 65 and
los pounds, and it will doubtless
continue to gain weight as the
yarn is handed down from year to
year in the annals of Names mill
tary history. for this was the sole
item of game obtained for the first
weeks hunting.

A PARAMOUNT PICTURE

ing the picture. The cast includes
such favorites as: Dorothy Dunbar,
Margaret Livingston, Alphonz ETH
err, Pat Harmon and many others.
The story is from the pen of that
much loved author-Peter 3. Kyne.
A variety of thrills, powerful dra-
ma and love story of great charm
and appeal, are the features of For
ever After which is to be the at
traction at the Opera House on
Thursday.
The story, adapted by Julian Jo-
sephson and Paul Gangelin from an
Owen Davis stage play and directed
by f. Harmon Weight, is one of pa
thos, comedy, suspense and thrilling
action.
Mary Astor and Lloyd Hughes
are starred. Hallam Cooley. David
Terrence. Eulalie Jensen, Alec Fran
els and Lila Leslie support.
The tale begins in a small New
England town, shifts to q fast NOV
ing sequence of college life and ath-
letics, then TO a contrasting setting
of social luxury and poverty, and
finally to the vivid background of
the World War.
Paramount has filmed another of
those redblooded stories from the
facile pen of Zane Grey, and this
high powered western drama For
lorn River will be the program for
the final two days of the week.
To the lively plot. teeming with
the romance and adventure of the
northwest cattle country, has been
added a spirited cast. featuring such
sterling favorites as Jack Holt, Ray
mond Hatton, Arlette Marchal and
Edmund Burns.
AS in all Zane Grey productions,
the locations We're chosen with the
greatest fidelity possible to the ac-
tual locale of the original story. In
this instance, Zion National Park in
Utah was used as a BACKGROUND
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1926-11-08

giving the picture a scenic setting of
unsurpassed natural beauty.
The action of the story centers
about Holt, eX-member of a band Of
cattle rustlers, whose outlaw actfvi-
ties have prompted the honest ranch
owners to band against them and
hunt them down. Looked upon as a
traitor by the desperadoes and con-
sidered a bad man by the sheriff,
Holt finds himself between two fires.
To complicate matters, he falls in
love with Miss Marchal and arouses
the jealousy of Edmund Burns.
With such a start, the picture de-
velops considerable excitement that
has been well balanced with some
fine comedy contributed by Ray
mond Hatton in the role of tramp
cow puncher. John Waters, who
jumped into the limelight with his
first directorial effort, Born to the
West" is also the guiding spirit of
"Forlorn River" The scenario is the
work Of George C. Hull.
Park Your worries outside of the
theatre when you see Richard Tai
madge in his latest f. 3. o. produc-
ton, THE Merry Cavalier" also on
the Friday and Saturday program.
GU will be too busy laughing, being
thrilled and feeling romantic to even
remember whether or not you have
any troubles. This is precisely what
the daring Dick aims to do-and it
makes his pictures such joyous riot
of smashing action that his audience
will be swept on their feet. The
dashing and dynamic Dick reaches
the zenith of surprising and specta-
cular stunts; breath taking stunts
which are packed with humor as welr
as thrills. A romantic note is sound
ed by Charlotte Stevens who plays
the part of Beauty in Distress. The
cast also includes such favorites as
Jack Richardson. William II. Tooker.
Joseph Harrington and 3. OFarrelI
Grover Jones is responsible for the
story and continuity. Mason Noel
directed the picture.
