ESCAPED CONVICTS HEARD FROM.
THE CASE OF J. D. BROWN.
.1. D. Brown loft a really bsautlfu I letter
which wo publish to-day addressed to Su
perintendent Watklnds, Informing him of Ids
Intended departure from tlio Penitentiary
and pleading his own caso, aud his youthful
indiscretion, with a power of pathos re
markable for a convict, and showing that his
early advantages had been good. Our sym
pathies were quito worked upon for awhile,
but whon wo come to remember the poor
fellows antecedents and leirn other facts
about him, wo are fearful that lie is simply
a bad egg and a triflo of a hypoorlte. He is
under indictment for larceny In Linn county

An additional reason for his present journey

the 17th. It was so cold before we could not.
We havo been dilving iuaud feodlDg all that

fouud six head that weio very poor. We will
do what wo can to save them, but there tiro
somotb.it will die. The stoun scattered them I
so that they aro hard to tlnd. Charley Durbin
wos over the other day from tho sheep ranch

aro doing well." From fie above KtjlKement
Mr. Durbin considers that all his stock are

as they went only feeding sixty out of two

fed at all.

KANSAS ANDHE3EASKA SURFERFR5;
A metlng of the It jll.jf Commlttco vv.v

Afier a discussion or the maitor and roidlng
of l.t'int Information ou tho subjoct it was do
elded'by tho Commlttoa that fifty barrels of
Hour bo shipped for tho relief of Nobrasktv
sutrerors, and that no imtnodiato action bo
takon as to thn remaining fifty barrels which

ing that they should bo equally divided bo
twoontho two Slates namedand n3 worti

strikes us as strange tint Nebraska can ont
suppllos froo while Kansas can not. Money
ii m-nn-a in uregon anil Hour is plenty. We
distrust this hankorlug aftor money, nnd if
Kansas oannot uso our flour and tho railroad
f.iiiiiot give frootranspirtatlon thon tho Com

to tho original donors acalu. Thor will wait
awhile to hoar definitely from Kansas bofore
limiting tne restitution.
