learns from one of. the gentlemen prom
inently interested in the enterprise.
The HERALD correspondent has had the
pleasure of meeting and becoming ac-
quainted with Judge Scott, Of Greeley,

made.
Yesterday, at Coroner Larkins' Office,
was held the inquest over the remains of
George p. COnnors, siXteen-year-old lad
and printer who had run away from his
home on Howard street, San Francisco.
He, in company with another lad, whose
parents also live at San Francisco, had
been beating" his way on the break beams
and by other means of gratuitous trans
portation, for which he, however, paid at

wheels running over both legs, especially
cutting the left one so severely that when
he was put in the charge of DR.. Perkins, at
Ogden. no surgical skill was sufficient to
retain the tieeting breath of life. The ver-
dict was in accordance with the above facts.
1t is surmised that the Tiibune's story of
the attempt of certain wealthy men of the
centre stake to bring the Pacific Short
Line to the capital by way of Hilliard,
Wyo., instead of by the projected route via
Ogden city, is the production of a diseased
brain. The HERALD knows that in the
articles of incorporation Of the Salt Lake
Valley I& Eastern railway lis provided
that the road ''shall start at some point
within this salt Lake. city, and run
north through the counties of Davis and
Weber, to a point in Ogden city; thence
east and northeast through Weber and
Rich counties to u point on the boundary
line between Utah and Wyoming" etc. 1t
will be seen that although the road will
eventually go to Salt Lake city, it is not
likely to do so via Hilliard and Park city.
Even if the proposed plan were feasible,
the ridiculously small sum named, Sl50,000,
would hardly compensate the managers OF
the Short Line for considering it. As one
of them remarked to the writer. LET
them add another cipher and change the
position of the commas: then we'll think
