GOVERNOR Is CONSISTENT.


The circumstances surrounding the
chase after and capture Of Fred George
by the state prison guards on Thursday
night, have been thoroughly discussed
10y local officers and the public In gen
eral. The consensus Of opinion is de-
cidedly in favor Of giving the prisoner
another chance. II is argued, and no
doubt with good reason, that the fact
that the paroled man had worked every
day ne could, that the breach OF his
parole which was In his going TO Park
city to get employment, was done lnno-
Gently and with desire to please rain

that he returned TO the city as soon as
notified to do so; that when The guards
did find him he was on one OF the busl-
est thoroughfares with his brother and
a prominent business man. evidently
waiting for a car to report IN person 10
the prison authorities, that his break
from the officers was induced by sudden
terror rather than an intention to run
away: ana his good conduct while out
of prison, show he had no desire to vio-
late the parole rules or beray the con-
fidence reposed in him by the board OF
pardons and his friends.
Coy. Wells, who has always taken a

ened ideas, Is disposed TO give George
