"a good railroad man," is the high
est term Of praise that can be be-
slowed upon a faithful manager of
great interests along line of travel.
Farmers, stock-growers, ore shippers,
merchants of all sorts, families and
secrets are entrusted to his care, and
in his keeping are the property and
hopes of these. The man who truly
discharges such trust is a noble
man. Such man, among others just
like him, is P. P. Shelby, the Assist
ant General Traffic Manager of the
U. p. Railroad. Mr.. Shelby is now
at Salt Lake, his headquarters, ar
ranging to help the interests of all the
people along his vast system, while,
on commercial principles, he takes
care of the interests Of the company

pear.
John Fallon and Pat. Millmore,
whose arrest was told of yesterday in
the TIMES, appeared to-day before
the Probate Judge for examination.
The charge was larceny of jug or
demijohn of whisky, at Tikura. The
complaining witness was T. Hensley,
agent at Tikura. To-day District At
torney Ruick dismissed the case, after
awaiting the arrival of the train that
he supposed would bring Hensley, the
witness. An attachment for the ar
rest of Hensley as a defaulting wit
ness was issued, and the young men
set free.
These young men are strangers.
They are in charge of Frank Martins
brood mares, which they brought in
from Louisville, Ky, and stopping
and feeding the stock at Hodgman's
ranch, because they cannot get over
to Martins.
There is not word of testimony
against them. 1t seems to be one OF
those "suspicions" that do innocent
men wrong that nothing can rem.
edy. Hensley should be punished for
contempt. If the accused did steal
he should have been here to testify
If they did not he should be not only
punished, but scorned for making the
accusation. These young men &C
forth free and without stain, and
the court and officers take pleasure ir
saying so.

District Attorney Ruick's card in
reply to the charges made by neigh
boring paper is manly one. If the
statements he makes are true, and
this Office has no reason to doubt
them, the publication of his deputy's
bad conduct might have been made
without besmearing him. An officer
is frequently deceived in his ap-
ponies, but is not necessarily a bad
man or incompetent officer.
