Saltwater, Oct. u. - Frank and
Louis Floyd left the prison by virtue
Of a pardon granted them by Gov.
Clough, and it is safe to say that two
happier men v left that institu-
ton. The pardon was brought over
by Hon. George A. Bracket Of Min
neapolis, and the boys were delighted
when they cast aside their first grade
prison uniforms and put on nobby
suits that had been sent to them from
Minneapolis. They could hardly wait
for their hour of departure, and care
fully noted the fleeing minutes. Ar
engagements had been. made for them
TO go on the $40 Omaha train. and
shortly before that time they were
driven from the prison to the depot in
a hack in company with Mi. Bracket.
to whom much credit is due for Sc
curing their release. Being asked what
their plans We're for the future. they
replied that they were going to re-
main in Minneapolis, where they hope
to demonstrate by their conduct that
they mean to lead honest and honor
able lives.

their mother has been stopping, the
Floyd boys were greeted by the host
of friends who have stood by them in
their misfortune. Many Of these
friends were of the fair sex, and their
welcome home vas n that many a
man would spend months in confine-
ment to receive. When a reporter ar
rived at the WesseX the crowd of
friends had gone and the happy moth
or was alone with her darlings. Mrs.
Floyd's great joy at getting them
home again was so great that she
could not keep still a minute, but was
constantly on the move to provide for
their comfort.
Both of the boys show the palor in
their faces that from confine-
ment, but Il few days in the open air
will soon restore the color to their
faces. Frank has been sick for some
time, and said that he was used as a
lay figure for the graduates from the
university to practice on. He said that
this was the only enjoyment he had
while in Saltwater. Lou bears OF his
head a scar that he got in the shoe
shop in the prison from the breaking
of a piece of machinery.
