WALTER KAY SIMMONS PAYS DEATH PENALTY IN ELECTRIC CHAIR Protesting his innocence to the last but showing no fear toward death, Walter Ray Simmons was electrocuted at the state penitentiary in Lincoln at 7:06 a. m. Tuesday, end ing his three-year battle to escape the death penalty meted him after his conviction of murdering Frank Pahl, of Spencer, Nebraska, on May 14, 1922. Letters from Wyoming, Nebras ka and South Dakota, which poured into Gov. Adam McMullen’s office Monday night, from persons claiming to know the real slayer of Pahl, failed to obtain a twenty-second reprieve for the condemned man. Simmons was pronounced dead at 7:10 o’clock, ending one of the most drastic battles for life ever fought in the courts of Nebraska. Following conviction in district court, Simmons case was heard twice by the state su preme court, twice by the state board of pardons. He was granted twelve reprieves by former Governor Charles W. Bryan, and seven by Governor McMullen. Nothing was left undone by Josiah Coombs and Judge E. P. Holmes, Simmon’s attorneys, to save him from the electric chair. Every known ef fort was made through the courts to obtain another reprieve for him at the last moment. The governor and pardon board stood firm in their be lief that Simmons had received a fair trial and was not being unjustly exe cuted. Simmons maintained his air of nonchalance to the last. Laughing and joking with the Warden and others on the way to the death chair he asked the warden if “he had any tags on his clothes, I certainly hate to have St. Peter see me come up there with anything like that hang ing to me.” As he walked into the death chamber, he paused and greet -- Wo are prepared to furnish you almost anything you want in our line at practically any time of the year, but— We make a Specialty of SEASONABLES at all times of the year, and you will be more up-to-date and save money besides to fol low these suggestions at this store.

HUGH E. DONOHOE MAKES 435 YARD HOLE IN TWO O’Neill golfers are just uounn t* mulce records, wherever tney may as. Several of the local golfers have made holes in one and thus covered tnent selves with glory, but Hugh E. Dono hoe, brother of James A. Donohoe and P. C. Donohoe, a former O’Neill boy now residing at Chehalis, Wash ington, hung up a record recently for all golfers to shoot at by making a 435 yard hole in two. the following account of the event is taken from the Chehalis Times: “Chehalis, Wash. Some persons are born famous. Some are lucky, but it comes to knocking over a 435-yard hole in two you have to doff the head piece to our friend and councillor, H. E. Donohoe. • “Some time back a player of the game known as cow pasture pool, in the vicinity of Everett, hung up a record that he thought would stand. He gathered a 428-yard hole in two on the course of the Everett Golf & Country Club green and his followers around Everett and vicinity were loud in their acclaim. Just to show them that better things could be done in the far famed southwest section of Washington, “H. E.” drove 260 yards and sunk his 175-yard mid-iron shot for his mark. According to all reports this record is the best so far this season. Fur thermore “H. E.’’ says that no rec ords are safe when he is around, not even his own, so look out in the future.
