MORE LIGHT.
Dennis Ryan and Attorney Galusha Come
to the Front.

lnuepenuent.J J-MT. Dennls hyau WAS
asked to-day to explain his connection
with the Rocky Fork road, in view of
the fact that his name had been used in
reference to the non-rayment of laborers
for work in grading the line.
"All can say on the subject replied
Mr.. Ryan, lis that since the first of last
October l have not had the slightest in.
terest in the conduct of the proposed
Rocky Fork road, having transferred my
contract to Mr.. r. B. Galusha, the
representative of syndicate whose
names do not know. 1t is true that
when the road was first proposed and
after the initiatory steps for its con-
strucion had been taken, the contract
for the work was made out IN my name
and turned over to me. 1t was deemed
judicious to have the contract made in
one mans name, rather than corpor-
alton, since it would be easier to make
a transfer if such an emergency arose,
and it would be matter that one man
could dispose of in few minutes with
out the trouble of hunting up other
parties to execute such an instrument,
THIS WILL ACCOUNT FOR MY NAME
appearing in the transaction, and for the
fact thai it was signed to the grading
contract by Mr.. Cooper, representing me
and by Mr.. Galusha in regard to the
ties. Finding that could not give the
contract the attention it deserved, ar
rangements were made by which
transferred all my rights in the premises
to Mr.. Galusha's syndicate some time
last fall and subsequently I understood
that Mr.. H. G.. Davis, of the Northern
Pacific road, had assumed the direction
of affairs and was the responsible man
of the concern. One thing is certain,
however, am not responsible for any
of the debts contracted although would
like to see the laborers who were EN-.
ployed receive every cent that is due
them"
