man In the general land ottlce here is
at work on what is to be a Mr map o'
Alaska and wbieh is to bo exhibited at
the Alaska- Yukon-Pacific exhibition.
The map 'Till bo nine feet square ami
will be made with the same Attention to
detail that is manifest in all povern
(Quae charts. A special feature will be
a broad margin around tbc entire map
and this margin will contain photo
graphic prints of proininent^Alaskans
and typical Alaska scene*.
Mr. Merry Is making good progress
with his undertaking and is preparing
tO!>eodtoall parts of Alaska for the
photographic data he will use. A study
of the map is calculated to go far to
ward correcting many of the false im
pressions existing with regard to Alaska
and a!-o lo afford some commensurate
idea of tbe size of the territory.

From Prison Where He Was Incarcerated Eleven Years

the romantic circumstance surround

u woman.
In many respects Jones ~wns n re
markable convict. The murder for
which he was Imprisoned was com
mitted In Williamson county. A wo
man whose name had been handled
more or less by local gossips was
fouud dead. Certain circumstances
seemingly pointed to Jones as the mur
derer. He was tried and convicted.
His wife showed her devotion by re
moving from her home to Iluntsvllle,
the penitentiary town, so that she
might visit him frequently. He fur
nished money for her support.
Jones maintained his innocence of the
crime, setting forth that he was at all
limes devoted to Ills wife and had uev
no , i j i L- f
worked nil these years for her sup
port."
The divorce wits granted, and the
wife soon married ngaln? married a
man whom she met in Huntsville,
where she was living to be near her
convict husband.
Jones' wounded arm healed after a
painful siege, but he always mourned
for his wife and often In the night the
guards on their -rounds would hear him
sobbing her name.
And now for the strange part of the
story.
J. H. Waldrlp, who Uvea at Chester.
Tex., and who teu years ago read
newspaper accounts of how Jones had
chopped his hand off, dreamed a few
weeks ago of the affair. He nlso saw
In his dream the murder of the woman

er associated with otli-r women. For
aliout a year Mrs. Jones was a frequent
caller at the prison. It was the one
lirlKlit spot iu Jones' prison life, these 1
visits from his wife.
Itiit there came a time when the vis
Its were not so frequent. Jones pined.
I >11 1 Ids wife explained that she feared '
to gain the displeasure of the prison of
ficials. She felt that they were an
noyed by her calls.
One day after the visits had slack
ened there caiue a civil officer to the
prison with a divorce summons for
Joues.
"Here Is a paper for you," said the
officer.
Jones' heart fluttered. Probably that
faithful wife of his had secured him a
pardon.
lie glanced at It hurriedly. He real
ized Its meaning.
Catching up the hatchet with which
he had been work lug. he severed his
right hand at the wrist, and with his
left he handed the amputated member
to the deputy sheriff, saying:
"Take this back to my wife and tel!

business and delved into the records.

Judge, long since retired, and I togged
him for assistance In freeing Jones.
"The man Is not guilty. I know It.
I saw another man commit that mur

declared with earnestness.
At first Waldrlp's dream was looked
upon as a Joke. Ills friends feared for
his sanity. But he kept persistently at
his task aud at last attracted more or
less of a following. Little by little the
tangled skein was unwound, and now
