RAISE MONEY FOR CAR LINE
Much Demand for Capital In Milton
Freewater District.

The rapid sale and development of
TIE small acre tracts for fruit purpos-
es iu and about Freewater and Milton
has made great demand for mouav
in that locality, and the real estate
man and business man are endeavoIing
to locate capitalists there to ease the
market up trifle. says the Pendle-
ton Tribune. The fruit lands are on
the boom and the trolley has aided
materially in the work of getting new
settlers into that territory. The di-
versified farming and gardening w hich
the small acre tracts have created is
also beneficial in effects. The business
men in these two towns are actively
endeavoring to interest the Walla
Walla Valley Traction company in
building another branch line into that
section, and large sum has already
been subscribed for the purpose of en-
couraging the venture. The Walla
Walla company has assured residents
of the northern part of Umatilla county
that this new loop will be Euilt if the
sum of $52O,00 is subscr lied. The
business men, real estate men and the
farmers are all liberal in loaning en-
oouragement to the venture.

MOTHER CARRIED HIS PARDON
Bradshaw, Murderer, Freed On Prom
Use to Work for Parents.

Oscar Bradshaw. who, after being
sentenced to be hanged for murder,
was lost and forgotten in the county
Jail at Walla Walla for years, has
again played in luck, for Governor
Mead has granted him a conditional
pardon. In 1909 Bradshaw was con-
vioted of murder at Pasco. Appeal
was taken to the supreme court, and
while this was pending Bradshaw was
placed in the Walla Walla county Jail
for safekeeping. there being no fit Jail
at Pasco. The appeal was never pushed
and month after month passed.
County administration changed and
Bradshaw was forgotten. In 1906 in
quiry disclosed the facts. Bradshaw
was taken to Pasoo and sentenced to be
hanged, rut before the execution date
Governor Mead commuted the SEN
tence to life imprisonment. In an
nouncing the pardon the governor
gives out statement which says in
part:
'"The doubt that the killing was a
premeditated act was so strong that the
trial judge. Frank H. Rudkin. the
special prosecutor employed to conduct
the case, Henry J. Snively. II of the
trial jurors and large number of the
leading citizens of the city oftPasco
recommended the sentence be COM
muted from hanging to..life imprison-
ment.
Bradshaw was but 18 when he
committed the crime and he was un-
doubtedly led into.the act by an older
companion, who escaped with light
sentence and is now at liberty. The
fact that the father of the young man
was recently injured for life and the
boys assistance is needed for the sup.
port of his family and the further fact
that he has been model prisoner
since his confinement in the peniten-
tiary, weighed in his favor.
"The terms of the conditional par
don granted expressly provide that
Bradshaw shall apply himself to earn
ing livelihood for his parents and
that be shall at all times conduct
himself in propvz manner, and in
accepting the conditions he agrees to
be bound by the same. The pardon can
be revoked at any time by any gov
ernor Of the state if the provisions are
not complied with.
''The pardon was given to the
mother of Bradshaw, who LETT for
Walla Walla to secure the release of
her son and accompany him back to
their home at Pasco."
