f dith Maxwell
Given Pardon
BY Gov. Price

Perhaps the final chapter in
the Edith Maxwell case, so far
as the law is concerned, was
written a few days ago when
Governor Price announced that
conditional pardon had been
granted the young woman who
was convicted for the Staying of
her father, Trgg Maxwell, at the
Maxwell home one night nearly
six years ago and sentenced to
20 years in the penitentiary.
The Governor said that she
had served five years Of the sen
tence, that her prison record had
been model and a job was await
ing her.
Inquiry at Pound, where the
young woman was born and
where she spent the greater part
of her life up to the time of the
tragedy, elicted little information
or interest as to her future. 1t
was learned that one of her
brothers is in business in New
York and the surmise was that
she would be employed there.
From the date of the killing
and until after she was convict
ed and entered prison, irrespon-
sible news writers gave Wise
county much unenviable notori-
ETY., painting the county, and par
ticularly the Pound section, as
being made up of. illiterate, back

WILL WORK OR FIGHT

Brother" Emil Vanover of
Mcclure Ave-, has decided that
ne is going to work or fight, but
would a little bit rather work.
He has had an application in
with a powder plant down state
for some months now and has
been doing odd jobs here and
there while waiting for his call
The odd jobs have not proved
sufficient to keep Emil the COM
forts he would like, hence the
decision. He states that he will
make a personal call at the en-
ployment office and if they do
not need his services, he will en-
list in the army for the 'dura-

Col. Dutton
Falls Into Hands
OF Fee Hunter

Colonel Alex Dutton, 1som
merchant, ran afoul of the claw"
in the person of Deputy Sheriff
Hubbard at Pound recently anc
sustained severe beating about
the head and face with a Weap-
on that he thinks was black
lack. He then and there lost
consciousness and found himself
in the Wise jail when he revived
the next morning. Later in the
day he was released from Gus
tody by the kindly trial justice,
but whether he has yet to face
trial on various charges, we do
not know.
The Colonel says that as he
came to grips with the officer
he attempted to draw his trusty
revolver to protect himself, but
that the rain of blows rendered
him helpless and that the revolt
yer was taken from him.
So severe was his injuries that
he was unable to attend to his
store this week.
He was accompanied to Pound
by two or three erstwhile bud
dies, who, according to his state
ment, stood afar off from him
in his hour of trial

The Making of Tunney

Commander Tunney will tell you
that his battles with Chuck Virgins
and Harry Greb were the two main
factors in getting him ready for the
first Dempsey fight.
Tunney won't admit that he thinks
both Virgins and Greb were even
tougher than Dempsey, but that's
how he feels down in his heart. I
don't mean harder punchers. Nei-
ther was killing puncher. But I
mean rough, tough, tO-hell-with-the-
rules, anything goes.
In getting ready for Dempsey I'll
say for Tunney that he never picked
the rose-patched or the violet
bordered road. When he selected
Chuck Virgins, Harry Greb and
Rubberman Risko he elected to
walk through a garden of thorns
and poison ivy. Anyone who could
wade through this trio, especially
the Greb part, even though he was
half blind, was about ready to walk
into a cage and grab the raw meat
away from Bengal tiger.
Tunney still rates Greb the great
est fighter he ever met. So does
everyone else who ever met Greb,
especially the bigger fellows who
were his meat. Or you might ask
Mickey Walker, on the smaller side,
and about as good and as tough as
they happened to come along.
The ring knows a far longer list
of great fighting men under $50
pounds than over that mark-Jim-
my Wilde, Joe Cans, Kid Lavigne,
Joe Walcott, Benny Leonard, Owen
Moran, Frank Erne, Terry McGov-
ern, Driscoll, Welsh, Attell, Nelson,
Wolgast, on and on.
And how many fighters, pound for
pound, ever could match Harry
Greb, Stanley Ketchell, Sam Lang
ford, or Jack Blackburn?
Greb at 160 almost murdered such
heavyweights as Gene Tunney, Tom
Gibbons, Jack Dillon and others
from 100 to 200 pounds.
What about a half-pint champion
in golf by the name of Elizabeth
| Hicks Newell?
Mrs. Newell is now the women's
amateur golf champion. She still
will retain that title through 1912
since this championship has been
called off.
She is about the size of mashie,
but she can hack around a goli
course in rs and hit her drives
around 220 yards. She has small
hands and small wrists. But she
can outhit the average male golfer
