WALSH IS PAROLED
Washington. D. C, Oct. 10. John

wrecker, who three years ago was

1 S0S. and his ageil -ifo has worked
continuous y since that time to se
cure his release.
Official announcement of executive
clemency to the bank wrecker is be
ing withheld In Washington by the
government officials, ns the parole is
directly co 'dieting with the stand
that was te Ken last May by President
Taft whe.i he refused to liberate
Walsh, saying that to do so would de
feat the object of the law under
which he was convicted, after Walsh
had robbed hundreds of women, chil
dren and po -r people who had their
all deposited in his Imnk.
Regarding the pnrdon for Walsh,
President Taft at tlint time said:
"A pnrdon for Walsh would defeat
the object of the law and present a
demoralizing difference between the
punl.-hmCiit that la meted out to the
ordinary criminal vftiose adverse cir
cumstances naturally led him to com
mit a crime, and one whose position
In society should make him the
strongest In the restraint against a
violation of the law.

JUVENILE MIMICS OF ROUND-UP STARS
ROPE TWO DEER AFTER EXCITING CHASE
McKay creek comes forward with
a peist-ltound-Up story that rival
that of the roping of the chicken
thief last week by young Frank
Smith of this city in the element of
the scnsationnly. While engaged in
practicing Round-Up feats on the
reservation near McKay creek last
Sunday, four boys suddenly came up
on two deer, evidently frightened
down out of the timber,, gave chase
on the'r horse and after four hours
suceeeded in bringing the'in to e arth
with their .lassoes. Drawing theeir
knives they iju'ckly cut the throats
of their captives and returned home
In triumph trailing their victims in
t lie dust.
This is the story brought to the city
this morning by Dan Shaw, prominent
rancher of McKay creek, and which
he avers lo be absolutely true. To a
number of loe-al people today he ele
schlbed the sensational chase and
capture In detail.
The boys have been in the habit,
he says, since the Hound-Up, of
mounting their ceiwponles nnd prac
ticing feats which they saw pcrform-
cd nt the frontier show. Last Sunday
while engaged in this emulation of
the wild west celebrities, they sudden
ly espied the two stragglers from the
forest, und with yells and whoops ot
delight, dashed In pursuit.

liouists and Government Worried.
Mexico City, Mex , . Oct. 10. So
complete'- have the insurgent Indians
gained control througnout the state
of Moreles that the Mexican govern
ment has found U necessary to take
dr.istic measures t) uppress the rev
olution and todaya request was sent
to the United States government, ask
ing permission to d.spatch Mexican
fe ienil troops through American ter
ritory, via Kl Pas , Texas and No-nr.li-
, Aiiz, st they can reach the
si en! of the rebellion in the vicinity
of Sinalou, as quickly as is possible.
A report received by the govern
mt nt today from Puebla state that
the federal forces at that place have
been caught in a trap by a large body
of Zapatausla Indians and that a bit-t-r
battle is being waged in which
the federals are getting the worst of
it.
Several battles have been f ught
by the revolutionists and the small
bands of federal troops, and in most
of them the federal 'roons have been
u fcated or put to flight.
An official report, however, states
that in a battle fought a few days
ago in northern Mexico, resulted in a
victory for the federals. Thirty reb
els are reported to have been slain
and more than sevenly wounded. This
battle occurred near Chiapa de Corzo.
The outoreak in southern Mexico
is also reported to be ' assuming
alarming proportions and in every
conflict, according to the reports, the
revolutionists have proven more than
equal to the force of the govern
ment. WILL BE OBSERVED
Thursday will be Columbus Day, the
nnmveisaiy of the occasion on which
Christopher Columbus first set eyes
on the American continent, and it will
be observed in the state of Oregon as
