STEPHEN JONES, PROP. Victoria, B.C.

The Boyd boys appear infulence at work in their favour an officer belonging to Victoria appears to be much interested in them & today the O.C. Col Ross sent for all three & it was an Officer he sent & the Officer & not a sergent marched them off to see the O.C. I have not heard the outcome & do not expect to see much result from thier pull but others suspect a commission or perhaps 3 out of it J. Murphy is hanging on to them like bird line in hopes to sail up with them in someway if they go up J.M. waylays Sergents & sometimes finds an excuse to stop an officer and give him B.S.
