A special from Salt Lake to the Oma-

ference of the heads of the Hartman
roads in that city, says:
The extensive improvements in the
roadbed in Wyoming, including the AS.
pen tunnel. have been completed and
a shortening of time acros Wyoming

cided to cut down the time across Wyo-
ming, but to lengthen it in crossing

NOTHING TO SUPPORT
SENSATIONAL CHARGES.

Governor DeForest Richards says
that the story published in the Lara.
mic Boomerang to the effect that pris'
oners at the state p~enitentiary are tor.
tured by the lessee is false, says the
Rawlins Republican. The charge was
based upon a statement Of an ex-con.
vict named Martin who served a seven.
year sentence for forgery. Martin was
a gambler before he was sent to the
~penitentiary from Sweetwater county.
The penitentiary is not a pleasure re.
sort and the taxpayers of the state ex
pect that discipline will be maintained.
Men who know the kind and gener'
GUS character of Lessee Boswell can.
not believe him capable Of treating the
men in his charge cruelty. There is
nothing to support the sensational
charge Of the Laramie Boomerang but
the word of an ex-convict. The Boom.
erang seems to be unfortunate in the
company it keeps.
