A QUICK PAROLE

One of tbe strongest and withs
strangest cases that has been
brought before the board of pardons
for some time was that of H. Victor
Evans which was heard yesterday.
Evans is a young fellow who was
employed by the Southern Pacific
railroad as a peanut butcher" OF
their ira ms. He was being trans
ferred from one run to another
with an extra train ere and from
his story it appears that they were
all drinking or less and pre-.
vailed upon him to take a drink or
two. This befuddled his brain and
in walking through a sleeper in get
ting off the train he stumbled over
a grip. He stopped down, picked
up the grip and took it with him.
Afterwards in opening the grip he
found that there was considerable
jeweiry in it and becoming sobered,
was filed with fear at what he had
done. He put the grip in a saloon
and went or his run and upon re-
turning and being asked if he had
seen the grip by a railroad attorney,
he cOnfes sed to the theft and re-
turned the grip and contents. He
was taken to Fallon, where he plead
guilty to the charge. Judge Pike
recognized the true status of the
affair and did not sentence the young
man at once but left him in charge
of the sheriff with Instructions to
give him Is much freedom as pos
sible. This the sheriff did and the
young fellow was allowed to do odd
jobs around Fallon and proved him
self to be all hat a boy should be.
The district attorney, the Judge,
the sheriff and the man who had APP
peared for him at the time TO the
hearing all watched his every action
and became convinced THAT he had
sinncd in a fatal hour and was not
. criminal at heart.
The law must be appeased how
ever, and two days ago Judge Pike
sentenced him to a year in prison,
the minimum sentence, and then
signed a letter to the board of
pardons asking for their clemency.
Yesterday, Attorney Wall Of Fall
lonand Sheriff Wightman appeared
before the board and the case was
presented. The board was at once
interested in the case especially as
the sheriff had vouched for the
young man. Governor Dickerson
asked where the youth was and the
sheriff stated that he was sitting
out in the park on one Of the
benches waiting for him. Bring
him here" said the governor and
the young mar was brought in and
questioned. He told a straightfor-
ward story. which proved that the
words said n his favor were the
truth.
When the board went into exc
cutive session a parole was at once
granted the young fellow. He was
taken TO the prison to comply with
the law where nc was photographed
and registered and then allowed to
! go on his way.-Carson News.

UPPER BERTH REDUCTION
Ordered by Interstate Commerce Com :

state Commerce Commissions decision
ordering a reduction in the price of
upper berths in sleeping cars to three
fourths of the rates charged for lower
berths says: @.@ se-4"H .IF ,---
The company might be willing to
cOncede that the use of an upper berth
is worth less to the passenger than is
the use of lower berth, despite the
fact that it costs the company more
to provide the upper berth. | may say
that there might properly be a less
charge for uppers than for lowers, but
I wish to say emphatically that the
difference should not be so much as
the commission orders.
With respect to the fairness of our
rates, l wish to say that the Pullman
Company has not raised it's rates in 20
years, but has rather reduced many
rates On the other hand, hotels, which
are engaged in a kindred business.
