FRED TURNER GOES FREE.
Wife Secures the Liberty of Her
Cruel Husband.

The forgiving disposition of a much
abused and mistreated wife frequently
helps a cruel husband out of the clutches
Of the law Such is the sequel 70 the
conviction of Fred Turner, the piano.
player at an all-night resort, who two
weeks ago was sentenced by Police Judge
Timmony to sixty days in jail for beating
Mrs. Turner. The defendant put UP a
cash bond of $10O and secured his liberty
pending an appeal to the district court.
Yesterday Mrs. Turner called<o see AS
sistant City Attorney Stewart and in
formed him that she no longer desired to
further prosecute the case; that for the
past week she had again been living with
her husband and his behavior towards
her during that period had been per
fectly lovely AS far as she was con-
cerned the charge against her husband
could be dismissed, for, no matter what
the prosecution intended doing, she would
refuse to go ON the stand and testify
against him, and there was no law that
could make her.
There was no alternative for the assist
ant city attorney but to consent to the
dismissal of the case on appeal. This he
will do on Monday, on condition that the
defendant pay the costs. When Mrs. Tur-
ner left Mr.. Stewards Office her evident
satisfaction was undoubtedly as intense
as the attorneys disgust at the turn af-
fairs had taken.

DISAPPOINTED AT ACTION OF

Union Pacific Earnings For Octo-
Der Show a Large Increase In
Earnings and Decrease in operat-
ing Expenses-Notes.

There is a good deal of grumbling
among western lines over the decision
of the war department to send the
troops to Manila by way of the Suez
canal. All previous movements to the
Philippines and other islands have
been by way of the Pacific and just
Why the longest route, both water and
rail, should be selected is known only
to the war department. Out of the six
regiments to be moved at once two
are in western territory-the Twenty
second at Fort Crook and the Twentieth
at Fort Leavenworth. But aside from
this fact it would seem that the west
ern route is by far the most feasible.
1t is interesting to know that many of
the officials assign as a reason for the
war departments act the unprecedent-
edly low rate offered for transporting
the New York regiment of volunteers,
the first detachment of which, is, now
on its way from San Francisco here
en- route to the Atlantic coast In this
instance the business was secured at
about SIS per man from coast to coast.
But out of this amount the Southern
Pacific, which has a monopoly west Of
Ogden, gets approximately SIS, leaving
only about SO per man to be divided
among the lines east of Ogden.
The Union Pacific and other lines
We're very anxious TO secure the bust
ness and put in reasonable bids, but
the successful one was so much lower
that it has paralyzed some of the
other roads who We're bidding for the
business.
OF course, the Southern Pacific must
be left out of consideration for its
share though exorbitant, was credited
on the government debt Calls has a
pretty good hold on things and man
ages to get about what he wants when
it comes to dealing with the govern
ment
But the kick comes over the action
of the other lines east of Ogden in
making such low rate. Such roads
as the Union Pacific and Santa Fe have
just been waiting for an opportunity
to square things up and hence feel
chagrined at the action of the war de-
partment, both on this account and
the loss of prospective business. The
Union Pacific confidently hoped to
carry the soldiers from Omaha to the
west and, it is said, was getting ready
for such a low rate as no one ever
heard tell of. Now, however. it is all
off and western roads will have no
chance to secure any business or to
show what they can do in the way Of
low rates.

Pittsburg & Gulf REIMBURSEMENT.

Philadelphia, Dec. 15.-The published
statement that the Kansas City, Pitts
burg & Gulf railroad was to be reor-
gained was today pronounced false by
William Taylor of this city, secretary
of the company. Nj. Taylor said there
will be a, readjustment of the capitali-
cation of the company, but not a reor-
ganization. He says the report of a
reorganization has probably grown out
of the knowledge of the preparation of
a plan by which it is expected that in
the near future the Kansas City, Pitts
burg & Gulf railroad, the Kansas City
& Northern Connecting railroad and
the Omaha, Kansas City & Eastern
railroad may be consolidated in a sys-
tenn which will enter st. Louis and Chi
cago, and bring them in direct commu-
nication with the lines running east
from these points. This combination,
Secretary Taylor says, will be entirely
distinct from the Chicago & Alton deal,
of which there has been so much said
lately

question was worth 81, 500 The defend
ants combatted this, and showed to the
satisfaction of the court that it was
worth less than $4,000, and followed up

TALKING DARK HORSES NOW
THURMAN, TT is SAID, is BEING
GRooMED
For the Senatorial Race-McCune
Gaining strength-King's Chances
Powers and the Utah Democrat.

Politicians were yesterday talking of
dark horses who might be brought into
the senatorial contest Those most
frequently mentioned were Judge W.
II. Dickson, Hon. R. C. Chambers and
Judge Thurman. It was considered
that if either MIR. Dickson or Mr.. Cham
berS would consent they would have
a strong following in the legislature
and at the same time it was said that
Mr. Thurman was being groomed and
put in condition to make the race, and
that he was not at all averse to being
brought into it. Mr.. McCune, it is adj
mitted, has made quite considerable
gains within the past ten days, two Of
his latest acquisitions, it is stated, are
Senators Abel John Evans and A. o..
Smoot of Utah county. They both say
that they are not committed to any
candidate, but it is strongly asserted,
although not by either Mr. McCune or
his manager, that when it comes to
the ballot they will be found in the
column indicated. 1t is further stated
that in case it becomes apparent that
NfcCune cannot be elected, they will
then bring in Mr.. Thurman, their fell
low townsman, as a dark horse and
stay with him to the end. This is an
arrangement, it is claimed which has
recently been fixed up and which also
includes a scheme to defeat Judge
King. That King will go in with more
votes than any of, the others, is the
general opinion and anything that is
calculated to draw strength from him
will receive the approval of the other
candidates. Senator Rawlins is credit
ed by some with Thurman tendencies,
and by others with favoring McCune,
but if anybody knows who his prefer
ence is, it is not from any declaration
he has made even to his most intimate
political friends, and he has emphati-
cally said that he would keep out of
the fight entirely, -venturing no further
than the statement that the plum
should go to a Democrat.
