The stage drivers and stage horses

hoe for the past week, and often quit
after hard days work without reach

work of stage driver is easy, should
be with them in an Owyhee snow

times they will work all day trying to
get horses through from one station

make three miles day, without sue

THE grand jury failed to indict
Peter Olson, arrested last November,
and charged with robbing the stage
on Henry creek last July. There was
no strong evidence against him, and
there are many circumstances that
lead to the belief that he is not the
robber. The man has been in jail
since last November, and If he is in
nocent-and we are inclined to that
! belief-he has suffered a great In US
tice, for which he has no recourse at
law So many stories were circulated
before his arrest, the general belief
was that he was guilty, and therefore
the officers did their duty in arresting
him. Ii they hadn't made the arrest
thew would have been severely cen
Islred. The rumor that was current
to the effect that Olson was at work
near Henry creek month previous
to the robbery, and disappeared
on the morning of the robbery, prov
ed to be without foundation. At any
rate we have been informed BY mel
who were living on Henry creek tina
Olson was not seen by them previous
to the robbery, and not until two o
, three months after. What the evi
b dence before the grand jury was i
! not known. But from what we hav
; learned from parties who were sum
moned as witnesses, there was nc
II evidence sufficient to warrant an III
dictment. If there had been the ju
