New Pass Agreement For the En-
suing Year.

Copies of the new pass agreement for
the ensuing year were received by local
railway officials yesterday. It places
greater restrictions on the free trans
p%ortation system thar ever before, and
many who have been in the habit of
travelling on pasteboards Will this year
have to pay.
One of the new clauses in the pass
agreement this year is that no passes
shall be issued to persons connected
with roads having less than fifty miles
of road in operation, unless each road
has connecting lines over 100 miles in
extent, Owe which passes might be is
sued in return. This clause viii cut off
a great many who think themselves en-
titled to a pass because they are in
the railroad business, while the road
may not be in operation or perhaps
have only a couple CT miles of steel.
For the purpose of doing away with
the issuance of passes to influence traf-
fic a very strict clause has been incor-
porated, while no passes will be issued
to refrigerator, tank line or private car
companies not owned by a railroad.
Another clause provides that no
passes issued in 1898 shall be good after
the first of the new year. Heretofore
passes have been honored for thirty
days, sometimes, after their date of ex-
p~iratiOn.

MRS. BOTKIN'S NARROW ESCAPE
PRISONERA COME WITHIN ONE
VOTE OF HANGING.
Jurors Stood Eleven For Hanging and
One for Life REPRESENTATIVES,
VIII Be Appealed.

San Francisco, Dec. 31.-Mrs. CoIde-
liza Botkin, convicted of the murder Of
Mrs. ohm P. Dunning and her sister,
Mrs. Deane of Dover, Del, is an in
mate of the branch county Jail. She
became historical shortly after her ar
rival there last NIGHT and was Gained
with difficulty. but she recovered her
usual sang froid today and has taken
hope from the promises of her attor-
neys, who have stated that they will
stand by their client to the end.
Their next move in the case will prob
ably be an appeal to the supreme court,
as it is certain that Judge Carroll Cook
Will deny their petition for a new trial,
thus casting the case into the higher
court for settlement. The attorneys for
the defense look a number of exceptions
during the trial and hope to make cap
ital out of these when they make the
attempt to secure a reversal of the de-
cision. The real fight for Mrs. Botkin's
liberty, however, will be made upon the
question of jurisdiction. The prescott
ton was conducted under the provi-
SionS of section q, of the penal code.
providing for the punishment of crimes
committed in whole or in part in this
state. The defense contends that as the
oOtCOlHe VI ire CRIME really tOOh place
in Delaware, that Mrs. Botkin was only
liable to the law of that state. 1t is
believed that this question has never
been presented to the appellate court in
this country.
Judge Cook has fixed next Saturday
as the day for imposing sentence.
1t is stated that the first ballot stood
ten for hanging and two for life i'm
prisonment. The second ballot was
eleven for hanging and only one for life
Imprisonment. But the one stood firm,
and after much discussion the other
eleven went over to him.

sANPETE's G. O. P. CLAIMS.
Republicans Recommended For APP
pointments On State Boards.

OSpeclal correspondence
Mt. Pleasant, Dec. 31.-The Sanpete
county Republican committee held a
meeting in this city last week, which was
a warm number. The contention which
occaSioned the warmth was the recon-
mendation of the committee desired by
certain Republicans who are after APP
pointments from the governor. These are
memberships in the state board of land
commissioners and in the board of equal
ization- The Republican leaders of the
county claim that at the last general
election they turned in majorities for the
G. o. p. that demonstrated positively that
Sanpete is the banner Republican county
in the state, and, in consequence, they
assert that the county is entitled to
recognition in the matter of appoint
ments.
Having arrived at this conclusion, the
leaders called the committee together and
after long hours of balloting,
dations were decided upon as follows:
For the state land board, w. d. Cand-
land of this city. and for the board of
equalization, Peter Thompson of Ephraim.
Other aspirants who were put out Of
the race were Thomas Reese of Wales.
Sven o. Nielsen of Fairview, and John
Lowry of Manti. The matter has been
further investigated by the aspirants. and
1t is now understood that Sanpete viii not
be overlooked when the appointments are
made.

Willis Dug His Way Out of the Manti
Jail.
Especial Correspondence.)


Manti, Dec. 31.-This morning When
Sheriff Judd came down to the county
jail he found his prisoner. Willis, the safe
cracker, had flown. During the night he
dug out the wall of the jatii and quietly
took his departure. hoping to evade prose-
cution for Safe-cracking at Mt. Pleasant.
His trial would have come off on the 9Th
of January. The sheriff had placed shack
les on his legs, and twice had ne cut them
off. He left the Jail with the shackleS on
both legs, not being able to get them
off. The sheriff is this morning
securing the country in search of the
prisoner.
During the last term of court the judge
made an order directing the sheriff to
employ q guard, but last night no one
was on duty, and Willis thought it was
a good time to flee from justice. The
fellow is no novice at the business, from
the manner in which he has cut his
shackleS while he has been confined in
the jail. kilograms nave been sent to all
the officers in the various counties to APP
prehend the man, but if he does not take
