CASEDAY NOT TO HANG.
Joseph H. CASEDAY, formerly deputy sheriff of Grant county,
sentenced to be hanged for complicity in the murder of Oliver SNYDER,
will not pay the death penalty. Governor Oswald WEST said that CASEDAY's
sentence will be commuted and CASEDAY will be given employment either in
or about the state penitentiary in a day or two. Word was received by
the Governor's office that CASEDAY's wife is critically ill of heart
disease, brought on largely from a nervous breakdown following the
lodging of the murder charge against her husband. During all the time
since Mrs. CASEDAY has had knowledge that her husband was sentenced to
die, her condition has been such that knowledge of this nature would mean
her death as well.

MRS. CARPENTER DEAD.
Mrs. Charles CARPENTER, residing near Adams, died Monday after a
lingering illness, aged 66 years, one month and 8 days. The funeral was
held in this city Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. She is survived by
her husband and three children. They are Louis LABADORE, of Helix, Mrs.
Agnes MORRISETTE of Adams, and Miss Millie LEWIS.
