CHICAGO, June l2.--How the railroad
reyolutionizes socially and physically
the country through which it passes
was never better shown than in the
changes wrought by a 50-mile stretch Of
track from Stockdale to Cuero, Texas.
This line traversing open prairie coun-

San Antonio Railway between San An.

Cuero to Port Lavaca gives San Antonio
a direct line to the Gulf 1t also opens
up an additional line between San An
tonic and Houston by way Of Stockdale,
providing an additional incentive to the
development Of the entire coast coun-
try, which in the past decade has made
wonderful progress.
But the change that has come over
the country traversed by the Stockdale-

made Adams uncle came to Boise from
his Oregon home and got into communi-
cation with him. He employed counsel
to secure writ of habeas corpus for
the release of his nephew, Inyestiga-

his uncle Adams had concluded to re.
pudiate his confession. As no charge
had been filed against him. he might

murder of Frey Tyler, aim-jumper,
on the st. Joe River, in Shoshone Com-

The prisoner was then taken to Wal
