ADMITTED TO CIrIzENsuiP.-Henry
B. Bostwick yesterday was granted In
tho U. S. Court his final papers as a
citizen Of the United States. As this
Is somewhat Interesting case. and as
Mr.. Bostwick's holding Of a Govern
ment position prior to this formality
NAV lead to some uncharltable COM
ments, We will briefly explain mat
ters: Mr.. Bostwick's father was a ma.
tive of Great Darlington, Mass; ana
was q man grown, and therefore nh
indubitablc and full-fledged American
citizen, before he went to Canada
where Mr.. Henry B. Bostwick wal
born. Under the prevailing interpre,
tation Of our laws Of Citizenship II
Expatriation Mr.. Bostwick has been,
no doubt, all along. a citizen OF the
United States in the full acceptance OF
the term ; but as there was some ques-
ton as to his status, he went through
the regular process Of declaring his
intentions, aud finally, OF perfecting
his lawful allegiance to this Govern.
ment. So says tho Carson Appeal OF
this morning.
CAuour At LAsr.-We extract the
following interesting item from the
Carson Appeal: "Chris Blair, well
known %malefactor. one Of the escapes
OF the State Prison at the time Of the
famous outbreak on September IL.
1871, was arrested a day or two since
at Ogden by Mr.. John Hume, former.
ly Deputy Warden under a
Denver. Blair was yesterday morn
ing brought In here aud Is once more
In his old quarters at the Penitentiary.
He has been at Ogden or ~thereabout
for several months, and was engaged
as n bSrkeeper when Hume caught
him. One OF the strangest OF the
strange things about these old convict
refugees il that they will tempt arrest
and a forced march hack to prison by
selecting as their hiding places towns
and villages and business places where
they can only escape recognition by
the most unlikely freaks OF fortune:
There Is a reward, We believe, OF $30O
for Blair's apprehension.
