gie Shqrt, a Logan young, lady, has granted ft commutation of his, sentence to ten years by Govern er JJoah, Since his has been a model prisoner and having the oonfidence and repppct qf he officials, has been allowed a few liberties condemmed murderers seldom hflve granted, We' have heard several Phillips county people who have visited the pen, re-park aa to JJintqn'e behavior aiub the good word wardens and other offioers in that institution have had to say for him, AR this has nq doubt counted in the coniinu-. tatiou of the life sentence, The Topeka oorrespondent to the Kansas City Journal thus recalls the Hinton case, with which -many of our citizens are familiar. Hinton six years ago was a lad 18 years of age and kept company with Maggie Shnrtz, a girl of the same age. They became engaged, but the father of the girl not only refused the hand of his daughter, but forbade them from seeing each other, The lovers drew up a suicide compact, which they planned to carry out, One evening Hinton called for the girl at the house, She met him in the yard, placed his arms about her, kissed her, and then shot her twice, She died iin-mediately. Hinton turned the revolver upon himself, firing into hla left side evidently seeking his heart.

iBut the bullet went through his lungs, 1 He dragged himself to a creek near the house for a drink of water and then dragged himself back to the house and begged the girl's father to kill him, The latter caused his arrest, In the county jail awaiting trial Hinton had to bo wa-'ched very closely, He tried to pull the band, ages from th wound in an effort to Weed himself to death. He waa tried and sent to the penitentiary for News. In the above clipping there is a mistake as the girl did not die immediately but lived 51 days nf-ter the shouting occurred.
