I 6“ 1111111811111 111 1111111 Former Ontario Cheesemaker’s Tale of Gold- Blooded Assassination. A despntch from Boise, Idaho, says: For three hours and half on Wednesday Harry Orchard sat. in the witness chair at the Ilaywood trial and recited a his- tory of crimes and bloodshed, the like of which no person in the crowded court mom had ever imagined. There was nothing theatrical about the ap- pearance on the stand of this witness upon whose testimony the whole case against Haywood, Moyer and the other leaders of the Western Federation of Miners is based. It was a horrible, we- volting, sickening story, but he told it as simply as the plainest narration of the most ordinary incident of the most humdrum existence. To Haywdod the story was of vital interest. He sat with his lawyers sur- Eounding him in such a position that e could fix his gaze on Orchard unin- terruptedly. but so placed that only those very near his chair could see his face. From first to last he gave un- wavering attention, and when occaâ€" sionally Orchard turned his eyes on his old comrade whom he was denouncing as a procurer of assassination Haywood met them squarely and unfiinchingly. Mrs. Haywood sat beside her husband all day, but their daughters did not come to court until the afternoon. Hay- wood’s mother, Mrs. Crot-hers, and his half-sister, Miss Crothers, sat near his m 1?. AN ONTARIO MAN. Harry Orchard when called to the stand and sworn gave his residence as the penitentiary. “Are you charged with any crime?” asked Mr. Hawley of the prosecution. "I am charged with the murder of Frank Steunenberg and waiting trial. ‘Answering further questions, he con- tinued: "I was born in Northumberland county, Ontario, Canada, in 1866. and .am, therefore, 41 years old. Harry Orchard is not my true name. I have gone by that name for about eleven ears. My true name is Alfred Hors- ey. I came to the United States in 1896, first to Spokane, where I remain- ed a week. I went to Wallace, Idaho, in March or April, 1896. I first worked for Markel Brothers, driving a milk wagon, and remained there until about Christmas, 1896. I then went to a wood and coal yard in Burke, Idaho, and was engaged in that business until the spring of 1899, and on my own ac- count for two years. In 1898 I sold a bait interest in the business to Mr. Mc- Alpine. My business in Canada was making cheese. I sold all my interests in the wood yard and went to work mucking in the mines in March, 1899, continuing at it for a month. I immedi- ately became a member of the Western Federation of Miners.” COUR D'ALENE TROUBLES. Orchard described the Cour d’Alene‘ country, giving the railway connections between the different cities and mining camps. . “State what unusual occurrence there "Was at Burke upon the morning of 'April 29, 1899," commanded M. Hawley. “On the morning of April 29, 1899,” said the witness, “when I got through breakfast I was told there was a special meeting of the union and everybody was expected to be present. I went to the meeting. The meeting was called to order by the. secretary, who said it had been decided that day to go to Ward- ner to blow up the mill at the Sulli- van and Bunker Hill mines and to hang the superintendent. SEIZED NORTHERN PACIFIC TRAIN. “Arrangements had been made to cut the wires along the railroad and take possession of the Northern Pacific train. At Gem we were to be joined by the Gem Union. and together we were to proceed to Wardner. While the Secretary was telling us what was planned by the Central Union the Pre- sident of our local came in and said he had not been informed of the meet- ing. When told the purpOSe he ob- jected to it and there was a discussion. The motion to go to Wardner was finâ€" ally carried by a small majority. After the vote nearly every man decided to o. g “Paul Cochran and six other members at the union took charge of the train. We went to Gem and took forty boxes (1' giant powder. _ ORCIIARD LIT ONE FL‘SE. “There were about 1,000 men on the train, most of them armed. M Ward- her we were told by W. F. Davis to line up. The men with long guns were told to take the front ranks. followed by men with sixvshooters. We were told to fire upon the mill as we approached. This we did. and the fire was returned by the guards. It soon developed that there were no men there, and we took possession. Powder was placed about the mill. and it was blown up. I lit one fuse; I don't. know who lit the others." Orchard said two men were killed. â€" not been paid for his first attempt 91 Violence in the Vindicator mine he was treacherous to his associates in warn- ign the managers of the Florence & Cripple Creek Railway that there was a plot to blow up their trains; confessed that he cruelly fired three charges of Luckshot into the body of Detective Lytc Gregory of Denver. killing him in- stantly; confessed that for days he d1ggcd Governor Peabody of Colorado about Denver for a chance to kill him; confessed that he and Steve Adams set and discharged the mine under the sta- tion at. Independence which instantly killed fourteen men, and confessed that, failing in an attempt to poison Fred. Bradley of San Francisco. he blew him and his house up with a bomb of gela- tine powder. MORE ’I‘ALES OF HORROR TO COME. He has more brutal crimes to tell of. which will bring his bloody career down to Caldwell, where with a great bomb be killed Steunenberg. The story was told before an anxious crowd, which staringly watched every movement and word of the witness; a crowd that sick. ened and grew weary of the fearful details. IN PAY OF THE DEFENDANTS. Orchard swore that after his visit to Denver when he got the money for kill- ing McCormick and Beck he was con- stantly in communication and in the pay of either Haywood or Moyer or Petti- bonc, Perkins or Davis; that one or all (1 them suggested his various crimes and that at all meetings held after each crime his acts were warmly commend- ed. ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATIONS. Thursday’s murder record exhibited accounts of repeated attempts to assas- sinatc’ Gov. Peabody, of Colorado, ex- Adjutant-General Sherman Bell, who commanded the Colorado militia at the strike of Cripple Creek in 1903, Judge Gabbert, and Judge Goddard, of the ilorado Supreme Court, who had ren- dered decisions against the strikers, and Fred Hearne, manager of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company. None ofthese was successful. though one attempt to get Judge Gabbert caused the death of a mining engineer named Marion Wal- ley. - This, aside from the Steunenberg murder, was the most tragic of the day‘s stories. ‘Orchard said that Petti- bcne and Haywood urged him to get Judge Gabbert, and that he and Petli- bone made‘ a bomb for that purpose. It was made like all the bombs that Orchard has described. THE STEUNENBERG MURDER. Orchard was not. asked to go into detail about the Steunenberg murder. The story has been told often. But he gave all the essential particulars. told how be and Simpkins has passed under the names of Hogan and Sim- monds, how they had made one bomb and set it in vain, how he had tried vainly to shoot Steunenberg, and how he and Simpkins made the bomb that finally killed the ex-Governor. He told how, on the evening of Dec. 30, he saw the ex-Governor sitting in the lobby (f the Saratoga Hotel. how be hustled up to his room and got the bomb. wrapped it up in a newspaper, and hurried to the Steunenberg house and planted it outside the gate, with the usual at- tachment of a string, fastened it to the gate and connecting with the deadly little bottle of acid. “I hurried away from the house then," he said. “and about two blocks away I passed the Governor. 1 ran as hard as I could then. I wanted to get back to the hotel before it went off, but I went into the bar-room and helped the bartender do up a package he was having trouble with. Then I went up to my room.” Orchard said he had left a giant cap in his pocket and a bottle of acid, and the cork came out and set off the cap. It. made a noise like a gun, he said. and he was afraid everybody would hear it. It burned his coat, too. “Then I went down stairs and went in to dinner," said the witness, and the dreadful tale was completed. The crowd in the court-room took a deep breath. the first for many minutes. Orchard blinked his eyes rapidly. It 'was the only trace of emotion he had shown during those two dreadful davs. He was not near breaking down, how. ever. for while the lawyers whispered he volunteered a trivial correction cf one detail of his story.

A cloudburst caused Big Crecki to deluge that vi.lage of 175 persons on Saturday night. and 21 persons were, drowned or crushed by falling houses. The disaster was due to the erratic be-j havior of Big Creek, which was already swollen by recent rains. When the cloudburst precipitated 6 inches of rain in an hour on Gradyville and vicinity, the creek took a new course with the force of a tidal wave. Inhabitants of Gradyville were nearly all in bed when the foaming waters struck the town, carrying away six residences, a mill and a number of small houses. At New Minden, 111., a tornado Satur- day morning killed five persons and in- jured six others. At York, 111., three persons were killed and thirty injured by a tornado which descended on the town Friday, night. At. Duquoln, 111., many houses were blown down around the outskirts of the town, and four persons were injured. BIG “'ALL FELL DOWN. Crashed Through the Roof of a Livery Stable. A despatch from Calgary says: On Saturday the whole side of the wall of the large wholesale building of the Cockshutt Plough Company fell with a crash. and crushed in the root of the Alberta livery stable next to it. It, made a hole about fifteen feet square through the roof of the stable. and- crashed through the floor of the loft and came down in a stall in which two horses were tied. They were unburt, but one horse that was loose in the cor- ral at the rear of the stable was buried under the debris. It was a new build- ing and an addition to the main build- ing, facing the lane at the rear end. and was about fifty feet long. with two stories.
