The body of the Lake Valley section boss,
who was lost during the recent severe storm,
has been found near Osceola station. It is
thought that he met with foul play from some
of the Mexican section men, with whom he had
some trouble a few days before his disap-
pearance.
Elijah Franklin, colored, native of Ver-
mont, and for four years past cook at the peni-
tentiary, will be released from that institution
tomorrow, he having served his term of twelve
years with good time allowance. He killed a
negro in Grant County, at a gambling table, and
was first sentenced to be hanged. This was
commuted to life, and afterward again com-
muted to twelve years. He has been a most
faithful man and having violated none of the
rules of the institution, the governor today re-
stored to him his citizenship. — New Mexican.
