Des Moines, Ia, April 22.-Jasper
mason, 81 years old, walked out Of
the Anamosa penltentlary free man.
after thirty-one years imprisonment,
to begin life anew in new world. All
his relatives are dead and the friends
Of his youth are scattered, so that he
will have to depend on the charity OF
former fellow convict for home
until he can make place for him
self
The Iowa that Mason knew before
he was sent to prison was state of
trackless prairies, over which rode
bands OF wild Indians and still wilder
cowboys. The Iowa he will now get
acquainted with is state of we'll
titled farms and thriving cities, with
the accompaniment Of whirring troll
ley cars and speeding railroad trains.
Quarreled Over Politics.
In 1876 Mason and friend, j. II.
Woods, were travelling through Iowa
and camped south of De Soto, in Dali
las county, for night. There they
got into quarrel over the Hayes
Tilden political controversy, then at
Its height, and Woods assailed Mason,
who shot his companion.
Woods died in few days and Ma
son was given life sentence for muir
der. Under the Iowa law as 1t then
stood he was not able to go on the
stand in his own Defense. and there
were no eyewitnesses to the murder.
He served for twenty-five years in the
prison at Fort Madison and was
transferred to Anamosa.
Mason's was the only pardon recon-
mended to the governor by the legis-
!ature which has just adjourned. For
time it looked as though he would
not be liberated, for the recommended
ton was for a parole. while the legls.
lature has power only to recommend
pardon.
Freed by . Conferences.
A conference between the governor
and Attorney General Byers however,
was responsible for the conclusion
that the parole recommended might
be construed as a conditional pardon.
The only condition attached to the par.
don by The governor, however, is that
Mason shall conduct himself as an up
right and peaceable citizen. He Will
not have to report to the executive of.
fee.
Mason will go to Kimball, 8. D.,
where he will make his home TEN.
porarily with his convict friend. Some
years ago this friend, who was an in
mate of Anamosa prison. told Mason
that whenever, IL ever, he wGs re-
leased home with him would be pro.
vided.

lao. n. BRAzOs BOTTOM BRANCH,
Effort VIII Likely be Made TO Induce
The Road 10 Build from Point
West Of Bryan.

No meeting of the bushes:
league was held last night, but the
few who gathered at X. of p. hal
discussed the feasibility of branch
leaving the /. & G.. n. at some
point west Of Bryan, extending 10
the Brazos river, across and down
the bottom. 1t is believed that
right-of-way can be easily secured,
and that conditions are such that
the line can be built by the /. *
G. n. at comparatively small cost.
II would unquestionably be pay
ing proposition for the road both
in freight and passenger business;
would counterfeit the effect OF the
building of the proposed new road
down the bottom ON the other side
of the river to Brennan, and would
be a great thing for Bryan.
1t is probable, therefore, that a
committee of some OF Bryan
leading business men will visit
Palestine in few days and lay the
matter before General Manager
Trice, and that while there the
matter of making Bryan a full
freight division point on the TT.
Worth division will also be dis
cussed. The Eagle will be glad
10 see this move made. The inn
portance of it will readily be seen.

immense Crowd Was Present Sunday
Nighi-Addressed by DR.. West
and Rev. J. J. Taium.
Splendid Music.

Sunday night witnessed a special
service OF great interest at the Bap-
fist church, the services at the
other churches participating being
omitted. The church was filed
and many were unable to find
room. The service was conducted
under the direction Of the pastor,
DR.. Geo. B. Butler, who read a
scripture lesson relating to the
subjects OF the addresses. Spleen
did music was a prominent feature,
with several numbers by the How
ard Payne quartette, and solos by
Miss Marie Adams and Mr.. Boaz
of the quartette. II was a special
pleasure TO the many friends OF
Miss Adams to hear the selection
she rendered so beautifully.
DR.. West, pastor of the Presby-
terrain church, spoke OH The I'm
minence of Cod" and Rev. J. J.
Tatum on THE Expulsive Power
OF New Affection. Though
necessarily not exhaustive in the
of the subjects, OH ac-
count of the lack of time in such a
service, the discourses were no less
and helpful in the pre-
sentation of the truth and its APP
plication to the daily life. The
service was such in its entirety as
gives strong spiritual uplift to
he thoughtful mind, and might be
repeated from time 10 time with
great advantage.
