A convict named James H. O'Brien, who was sentenced to the Fort Madison peritentiary for a term of oight , was by order of the executive council remoyed to the penitentiary at Ana- mosa.

A statuto was passed fow years ago permitting tho executive council to muke these transfers it deemed desirablo, but this convier, questions the con- stitutionality of the statuto and insists that a man sentenced to one prison eannot be re- moved to another. The case is an important, one, for a number of prisoners have been transferred from one prison to the other, as ionco suggested, and if tho transfer was_unconstitutivnal they might all claim the right to be releas ilroad.

Burgess, one of tho accused dele- o8, said that he went into th onvention a Leo man, and did all ho could to_secure his nomination. He considered that he had acted fairly in the matter and_had no apolo- wies to make. He had asked Djurene to vots for Lee and he rofused. He in turn refused to vote for Djurenc’s candidate for justice, 7, C. Chiristiansen thought that the action of the delegation was a slap at his bational- ity, and it made him warm to be thus g nored. He pronounced the fellows who did him up as rascals and_scoundrels, and de- clared openiy that Johnson's friends would put him through yet. At this junetion William Kierstead, who is the president of the club, croated peace and harmony by n pleasant little specch, expluin- ing the mavter in_detail.
