January worked in the quarry another taohtb . ifiarly in loaa, January says, he started to sell tea and ccffee He traveled through Sjuthem Kansas, part of MicfcOuri and into Oklahoma with a man who owned ahoise and light wagon.: This be did for more more than a year and then went to Kansas City, , where he solicited for an insurance company, ' saving his money, and later engaged ' in the same business for himself for more than two years.'

It bears 40,000 names, and it iB believed the man will be speedily pardoned and sent back to his wite and baby girl and little restaurant. .There it universal sympathy for January and his family, and equally wide spread execration of the former con vict who betrayed him to the' offi cers.
