Swaggart of Heppner, was a guest of her sister, Mrs. J. C. Stamper, tbe first of the week. MOTHER CARRIED HIS PI Bradshaw, Murderer, Freed On Prom ise to Work for Parents. Osoar Bradshaw, who, after being sentenced . to be hanged for murder, was lost and forgotten in tbe county jail at Walla Walla for years, has again played in luok, for Governor Mead has granted him a conditional pardon. In 1903 Bradshaw was con victed of murder at Pasco. Appeal was taken to the supreme couit, and while this was pending Bradshaw was plaoed in the Walla Walla oounty jail for safekeeping, there being no fit jail at Pasco. The appeal was never pushed and month arier month passed. County administration changed and Bradshaw was forgotten. In 1906 in quiry disolosed the faots. Bradshaw was taken to Pasoo andsentenoed to be hanged, Cut before the exeoution date Governor Mead commuted tbe sen tence to life imprisonment. In an nouncing the pardon the governor gives out a statement whioh says in part: "Tbe doubt that the killing was a premeditated act was so strong that the trial judge, Frank H. Rudkin, tbe special proseoutor employed to conduot the case, Henry J. Snively, 11 of tbe trial jurors and a large number of tbe leading citizens of the city ofJPasoo reoommendel the sentenoe be com muted from banging toUife imprison ment. "Bradshaw was but 18 when he committed the crime and he was un doubtedly led intothe aot by an older companion, who escaped with a light sentence and is now at liberty. Tbe fact that the father of the young man was reoeutly injured for life and tbe boy's assistance is needed for the sup port of his family and the further fact that he has been a model prisoner since bis confinement in the peniten tiary, weighed in bis favor. "The terms of the conditional par don granted expressly provide that Bradshaw shall apply himself to earn ing a livelihood for his parents and that be shall at all times conduot himself in a proper manner, and in accepting the conditions he agrees to be bound by tbe same. The pardon can be levoked at any time by any gov ernor of the state if the provisions are not oomplied with. "The pardon was given to the mother of Bradshaw, who left for Walla Walla to secure the release of her son and aooompany him baok to their home at Pasoo." RAISE MONEY FOB CAR LINE Much Demand for Capital In Milton- Free water District. Tbe rapid sale and development of the small acre tracts for fruit purpos es in and about Freewttter and Milton bas made a great demand for lnouav in that looality, and the real estate man and businessman are endeavoring to looate capitalists there to ease the market up a trifle, says tbe Pendle ton Tribune. Tbe fruit lands are on tbe boom and tbe trolley bas aided materially in the work of getting new settlers into that territory. The di versified farming and gardening wbiob the small acre traots have oreated is also beneficial in effects. The business men in tbeso two towns are actively endeavoring to interest the Walla Walla Valley Traotion company in building another branch line into that seotion, and a large sum has already been suDsoiiked for tbe purpose of en- oonraging the veuture. The Walla Walla company has assured residents of the northern part of Umatilla oounty that this new loop will be built if tbe sum of $520,000 is subsor ited. Tbe business men, real estate men and tbe farmers are all liberal in loaning en couragement to tbe venture. Wreck on W. & C.
