After a somewhat checkerei career
the Saupete VallY railroad, extending
from Nephi to Chester, has been oblig.
ed 10 cease operations. Tao road was
built by Simon BEmbsrger Ia 1852 for
an English syndicate known a. the
Central PaciilcCoal andCoke company.
This company is still interested IN the
little road by reason OF holding mort.
gage OF 500, 900 against T.. 1, was at
at FIRST believed that the road would
prove profitable Investment, but
subsequent developments proved to the
contrary. This cause Of It's building
was believed to be extensive
and valuable coal deposits
In the vicinity Of the little town OF
Wales. Investigation aud protrac,ed
work showed, however, that these coal
beds were OF an infcyor quality. The
only thing that remLined for the road
TO eubsist upon was limited freight
aud passenger traffic which OF late has
fallen short by far from paying ex.
penses anu the result was that on Satur.

Boston, Dot. 1.-The notorious forger,
John A. Snow, IL again In custody, hav.
ing been arrested yesterday afternoon.
Snow has followed this line OF criminal
business for fully is years, having already
served three terms in tho Charlestown
State Prison. A conviction this time
will mean q sentence under the habitual
criminal act, which means sentence OF
Is years in prison.
II is probablc that he will be convicted,
as the evidence against him II certainly
OF the strongest nature. Snow was only
released from prison on July 4 last, and
it appears that he did not wait long be-
fore he began his crooked business again.
The other day he went into the Bunker
Hill National Bank in Charlestown and
asked for some checks, which were given
10 him by the teller.
He then set out on his game OF forgery
and caught Isaiah p. Lewis and tried TO
work OF bogus check on Wilson Bros.
His game with the latter failed.
