Salt Lake, August 5th, 1898. Hon. William M. Roylance, Springvilie, Utah. Dear Sir: I am in receipt of a letter from Mr. J. M. Whitmore in behalf of himself, Packard and Whitehead aud Clyde, stating that they had agreed to take fifty dollars each of the reward offered for Maxwell Max-well and were wi'ling that the balance bal-ance of three hundred dollars should be paid to Mr. Joseph Allen, who was injured in the engagement. If this proposition is favorably considered con-sidered by yourself and the people geneially, I would like to be advised of It. Very respectfully. IIeber M. Wells, Governor. Sf ATK W TjTAHXI5c"uTliiE OFFICE," Salt Lake, June 15th, 1898. Hon. William M. Roylance, Springville, Utah. Dkau Sin: I am extremely anxious that the state reward offered by me for the. apprehension aud delivery to a f-afe jail of the outlaw Maxwell should be paid, not only because it is due, but also for the reason that prompt payment may have a beneficial bene-ficial elli-ct towaids inducing the capture cap-ture of other outlaws. I hope the people interested will undcrstam: that failure to pay up to this date has been oecassioned by the failure on their part to agree on the distribution of the reward. On the one hand, I am in receipt of numerous numer-ous letters from citizeus who allege that they were eugaged in the capture of Maxwell, together with a large number of the inhabitants of Springville, Spring-ville, and w hile they were not present when the outlaw was arrested, yet they took as active a part in tho capture cap-ture as auybodj else. All of this class seem willing to assign their claims to Mr. Allen, who was shot in i conflict with the other outlaw killed the same day. Sheriff Storrs has also recommended to me that the proper thing to do would be to pay the whole amount to Allen. 1 confess con-fess that it would he an easy way out of the dilliculty, a generous and humane settlement of that matter: but unfortunately on the other hand there are Withers who quite earnestly protest against such a course and represent that they are entitle to the reward. Mr. J. M. Whitmore was the original origi-nal spokesman for these latter citizens citi-zens and he spoke in behalf of himself. him-self. James H. Whitehead, George Packard and William Clyde Jr. Mr. Whitinorc represents that these four did the work for which the reward was offered, to-wit: They apprehended appre-hended and delivered to a safe jail one, I. Maxwell, etc., and hence they claim each one fourth of the reward, refusing to share any portion thereof with Mr. Allen or any person else. Under these circumstances, you will appreciate the dilemma in which I am placed. Therefore, this is written writ-ten in the hope that you will use your good offices in endeavoring to have all the parties concerned reach an agreement as to just how the reward re-ward should he distributed, and I assure you that the same will then be promptly paid. Upon reflection, I do not wish to further complicate the matter by making any recommendation, recom-mendation, preferring to leave the solution of the matter to those Interested Inter-ested in the hope that they may reach an amicable und satisfactory agreement. If you will undertake this task for me, I assure vou it will be a favor I shall appreciate. Very respectfully, IIeber M. Wells. The unseemly contest over the division of this award has -not done the city any good, and Springville should be congratulated that the j miserable question is at last settled.; Spies of the famous Robbers' Roost gang are everywhere present, and will undoubtedly take the above scheme of division, and what it implies, im-plies, and conclude to have revenge. These robbers are very curious beings. They have their own ideat of honor, and it has been expressed by Maxwell in this particular case. Whether Maxwell is in or out of jail, these four men stand in great danger at. their hands, and the only apparent. remedy or safety is a prompt declaration declar-ation of war and the vigorously carrying carry-ing out of that declaration on tho part of Whitmore, Clyde. Whitehead and Packard. If they do not succeed in jailing all the members of the' Roost, and that quickly, there is very apt to he a real genuine vendetta. These robbers are queer. It would not be a matter of surprise if they; should now come forward secretely and give Joe Allen $500 in spot cash, as a testimonial on their part of bis acknowledged bravery. The gang has for the past few weeks been suspiciously sus-piciously quite, and add to this the fact that "Hutch" Cassidy has returned, re-turned, the reader may well conclude that mischief is on foot. Maxwell is suspiciously jolly, and ha has not yet been tried. He may not be on hanJ when he is wanted for trial. They work in secret, and no one can say when and where the next blow will fall, and it begins to look as though the Robbers' Roost gang run the three states. i These suggestions are offered to point out clearly the fact to the four men who have Insisted upon a favorable favor-able division in their favor, and is solely done that they and their frieuds may exactly understand that they have made themselves the especial mark of a baud of secret assassins, and not wjtta the igtentvVi impugn their motives, question their loyalty and reverence for a speedy and prompt execution of the laws. Springville is grateful to Messrs. Allen, Whitruore, Clyde, Packard, Whitehead, Reynolds. Roylance, liird and the rcmainde'of the loyal host that so promptly responded to the CiU of duty. It is to the even greater danger which now threatens these henes to which we call attention, and to arouse in all this people the thought, may God help the (list man who makes a bad break!

You flight to have had enough presence of mind to have thought of some of those delinquent subscribers, get cussed ly mad and blown yourself up. We noticed souk; time ago au article arti-cle in one of the Salr, Lake papers in which the writer in a patronizing wastries was-tries to flatter the little country paper. Among other things he says: "It is amusing to read in the Utile country paper the arrival in town of John Smith, William Rrown ete. etc. from the farming regions. Rut,'" he says, "those things are necessary in the little country paper while t hey look so out of place in the poshing metropolitan dailies" Pom- thing! how we envy him! The chances are ten to one that he is an extra under the assignment of the horse reporter. He is just the kind of an idiot, as thinks it would be out of place to notice the arrival in town of an honest hon-est man, but would break bis neck to get out to the next station and meet such a pug as John L. Sullivan or Jim Corbett, and fondle around them for a smile, like anv other sycophant, and then devote a column in the "uushing metropolitan paper" to the condition of the aforesaid bruiser's finger nails, nightrobc and toilet articles.

Provo is too modest. She should have all three of the commissioners and incidentally all the other county officers.

Provo proposes to properly prop-erly rebuke us by vot ing solidly for any person of that city fortunate enough to get on any ticket. A better bet-ter plan would be to have her ask the legislature to make her a county as well as a county seat, and then Provo would have the laugh on us, in watching watch-ing the f.:nny antics of our judge trying try-ing a case while in a drunken stupor the effects of whiskey bought from the public funds by depositing an I. t).
