GIVEN THEIR LIBERTY.
Governor Johnston Pardons MT. and Mrs. Tyers-Conv.cted of Conspiracy
 Eight Years Ago.

A few days ago the State-Herald pub Esheh an account of how Convict Inspee- tor TIapp had become interested in the case of Jerry ard Mary Myers, who were convicted in the ciicuit court of Calhoun county about eight years ago on the charge of the mother holding her H. year-old daughter while the step-father committed a heRrifying crime, ani had, after dirgent search, found the daughter, now grown and married, who disclaimed that any such crime had been done hel- The danughteC, as then noted, was car rtcd. -bel1r>s the g0vern-c and afterwards carried by MT. T1app to visit her rlr- ents, then at Speigner's. The gcver.'-lr after hearing the evi&-nce, took the m It. ter under consldG- 1tlon, and has sl-iee granted the pardon. Speaking of the oaSe- Governor JCarston says: -z"IfaS- cas-. is extraordinary in may pespf cts and l have given it patient con- I sideIation.
 'The mother aI1d stepfather of a girl I about II years crd are, upon her testlnlo- ny, 'conv 1ctsd of rape ard sentenced to Efe impFisonment. They have been con- fl4ed about ten years. A number oe law- yef5 who were present and heard the u"lal declare their opinion that the de- ! feHdelltse ought rot to have been con- yieted. Th9l jury was in doubt several days.
 IA The conviction rests upon the testi- n1Jny of the S1US Ater and alleged viz i'm i about Il yd7ra cid. It is almost irls-l- ceivable that mother should star1 by af.d consent and ai1 in the rape oi her own daughter by her own husband, to wl.om she had been married about a menth. It is mu;h easier to believe that the child was persuaded to swear to the charge against her mother.
 "The daughter has been before me. arl TOW ur'der oath declares that her testimony on the trial was false, anl Shat 'he WAS persuaded and induced so to testify by her gra.dmother, who ob- t9ated to the marriage of the defendants, and desired to get rid of Myers. doubt whether the daughter told the whole truth in her eXaninsltb5ll by myself and the attorney general, but if she is now unworthy of belief, it would seem unjust to dstain these convicts fer life on the testimony of a witness unworthy of be- lief.

TRAFFIC. AGREEMENT BETWEEN
THE UNION PACIFIC AND
PORTLAND LINES.
Master Cornish Says He Has no Knowl-
edge Of More Than One Bidder for
the Union Pacific Property and That
Will ice the Reorganization Com
mittee-Rairoad Notes

"a mutually satisfactory agreement"
said President Samuel Carr last even
ing, has been entered into by the I'm
ion Pacific, Oregon Short Line and the
Oregon Railroad and Navigation com
pany. The agreement covers all their
traffic relations, M OF the results be-
ing che restoration Of the Chicago-Port-
land train service"
President Carrf5 announcement will
be hailed with delight by all who were
a~nxiously awaiting he settlement, but
the unfinished story is Of equal i'm
p~ortance as many things we're amicably
sealed at Yesterdays conference which
marked the end OF one OF the most PEE
GUITAR railroad wars ever walged in the
west.
The p. Ei,ery Anderson agreement
made on the 18Th, as told in the Tri-
bune, only covered the Missouri river
business between the Union Pacific and
the Oregon Short Line. No provision
was made for local linterchanges In
Utah, idaho, Wyoming and Colorado
and Rock Springs coal was still barred
from Salt lake, and other important
matters left unsettled.
Yesterdays agreement, however,
covers all this ground. All tariff rela-
lions between the two roads, in exist
ence before October Isl are to be re-
stored This covers local ticket offices,
train service and above all the through
ireights.
Tt was on September 23rd that the
Union Pacific cancelled all its tariffs
reading to points on the Oregon Rail-
road and Navigation company and Port
land trains were taken of. The restor-
at9on of these tariffs was one OF the
most important features Of yesterdays
agreement, all Oregon Railroad and
Navigation tariffs being likewise restor,
ed and through train service will be re.
srNmed ait once. An inquiry among the
various officials last night met the gen,
eral response that the whole matter had
been settled in the most amioable way
and to the entire satisfaction Of the
Ynree roads.-Sat Lake Tribune.

MINNEAPOLIS BANKERS WILL
PUSH DEVELOPMENT WORK
ON FRENCH CREEK.
At a Depth OF Thirty Feet Ore From a
Breast OF Eleven Feet Gives $50 to
the Ton-The Properly is the Dis
covery OF Mr.. Henry Johnson. the
Veteran Prospector.

MI. Chas. Johnson Of the banking
house of Hills & Sons. Minneapolis,
MINI, left for the east on the noon
train. Mr.. Johnson has been in the
city for several days on a visit TO his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. A. F. johnson,
and for the purpose Of Negotiating for
an interest in a valra1ie piece iof mining
property for the Hills & Sons bank.
The I-rrerly n question Is ON French
creek, about 40 miles Straight west OF
this city. and was discovered by Mr..
Henry Johnson. The veteran prospector.
1t Is an extension OF lle Telephone lead,
which has showed up some very rich
ore in its day. French creek heads on
this side OF the Snowy range and liter
ally cuts the high mountains in two In
Its course 10 the Platte. Where it crosses
the Telephone lead it is fully 1000 feet
below the level Of the surrounding coun-
try, and II was at this point that Mr..
johnson began lbs development work.
A depth Of 80 feet has given assays up
wards OF $50 per ton across a breast OF
IL feet OF ere, and the ore has grown
nicher and richer with every foot o!
depth into the mountain side. The trou,
ble encountered upon the Old Telephone
lead, which is now the properly OF Judge
M. &c. Brown. was the immense quantity
OF water. AT a depth Of 80 feet in the
shaft, the miners were driven out, bu,
not before they had secured rock which
assayed rich in gold and silver. On the
Johnson mine this trouble will in a great
measure be obviated, at least for the
present, as the tunnel can be run In on
the lead a. a great depth below the Level
o, the surrounding country and at the
SAM time upon a grade which wiz per
init the water to run from the mouth
OF the tunnel into French creek.
1t Is an ideal spot to work a stamT
mill, for French creek would furnish
almost unlimited power for the purpose
The people OF Laramie and vicinity
will be glad to hear OF Mr.. Johnson'f
good fortune and will hope that the fu.
ture will bring him fruition Of his
fondest dreams. The bankers who are
now Interested in the proposition are
lei Of great means and have signif1ed
their intention of ~devoping the proper
ty to the extent OF al least 10000.

this is the second year which they bore
