he has passed from a strong. robust atAs

ly paralyZed from the blows dealt him
by his assailant. Senator Saunders ana
Representative Anderson, of Omaha
presented Mr.. Morgan to the goyernof
and assisted in setting before the chief
executive the details of this rather pa!

he was sentenced ut the penitentiary. The
governor now says he will recOmmend
that the convict serve out that term.

mittee. His report states that the CONS
mittee found after some investigation
own printing as cheapIy as it could hira
1t done and that therefore it would not
be the best business stroke to appropriate
