tual fact. Mr.. O'Brien, who has been
on the ground almost day and night
for the past two weeks. did not know
for certain that the last rail would
be laid yesterday, and it was only
By almost superhuman effort on the
part of the construction crew that
the feat was accomplished.
Yesterday morning around 1000

O'Brien had laid his plans to have
the road completed for operation Of
trains by dark Tuesday night, but
even In mid-afternoon it appeared
a. though the work would not be
completed. The party of Browns

$1,000. the maximum penalty under
the state law.
He surprised the court by plead
ing guilty, and no plea for leniency
was made. On his way back to the
county jail he confided to the turn
key that he expected to obtain his
release on parole after serving a
year or two. Western will be
transferred from the county Jail
to the penitentiary this week. He
pleaded to but one Indictment,
charging him with uttering a false
instrument in connection with the
forging of T. NJ Swingle's name to

by the state.
The plea brings to an end case
which has attracted considerable
attention owing to the prominence
