Outcome Of a Tragedy in a South
ern Idaho County.
THE HIRED MAN CONFESSED
Rode Up to the Farm just in Time to
See His Late Employer Murdered
Under Bail as Witness.

Boise City, Idaho. June 12.-On May
10 Thomas Roman of Lower Boise, Can
yon county, was found dead near his
corral with his head battered with an
AK. His wife told story Of having been
lured out by noise on the fence at the
corral as though horse had been
caught in the wire. She had fallen
asleep and had not missed him until
morning. She also told Of a tramp hav-
ing INDUCED in threatening language
the night before upon being ordered
away from the place.
A special tonight from Payette, Idaho,
says: Yesterday evening Deputy
Sheriff George w. Edwards, at the in
stance of G.. B. Eldridge, arrested a
man by the name of Mat Crump, Ro-
mans hired man, for the murder Of
Thomas Roman Of Lower Boise, on the
3Oth of May last. It seems that ever
since the crime was committed Mr..
Eldridge acted the part Of detective
and worked himself into the confidence
Of the man Crump until finally Crump
confidentially told him that he had
killed Roman, but did not give any
reason therefore. Last night about 10
o'clock Crump became quite uneasy as
to his position and finally said he want
ed to make a confession or statement,
which he did, the same having been ta-
ken down in writing in the presence
of witnesses at Crump's dictation. His
statement differs from what Eldridge
claims he told him. The substance of
the statement is that Mrs. Roman kill
ed her husband, the deed being witness
ed by Crump, who rode up just as 1t
occurred. Crump had hearing before
Judge Allen today and was discharged
on the charge of numbering Roman, but
on the statement made in Jail last night
Judge Allen has held Crump as a wit
ness in $1,000 to appear before the grand
jury or any court in which the matter
may come up for examination or trial.

these propositions. Nothing could be
more convincing"

Week Ending June 10 Has Been partic.
ularly Favorable.
Washington, June 1.-THE weather
bureau, in it's report of the crop con-
ditions for the week ending June 10,
states:
Upon the whole the week has been
more favorable to agriculture than any
week of the season since the period
from May II. There has, however, been
too much rain in portions of the gulf
states, where it has been rather cool
for cotton, while drought conditions
exist over portions of Missouri, Illinois,
Indiana, Michigan, Northern Ohio, West
Virginia and Ohio. The winter wheat
harvest has begun in Texas, Oklahoma,
and the southern portions Of Kansas
and Missouri, and will begin in south
Illinois and Indiana this week. All
reports indicate that the outlook for
spring wheat is excellent. Light frosts
occurred in New England on the 9Th,
but resulted in little damage. Killing
frosts occurred in Minnesota and Idaho
causing injury to gardens.

AN AMERICAN CITIZEN WAS SEIZED

German Authorities Fine and ImprisOn
Morris ROthschild OF New York.
Bath, N. Y, June 10.-David Roths-
child, a leading business man Of Bath,
has received letter from his brother.
many last month, stating an attempt
was made to force him into the Ger
man army. He reached his fathers
house at Eishtitten the latter part of
May. After being there week he was
arrested, and kept in prison 4S hours,
despite the protests that he was citi-
zen of the United States and offered
passports and naturalization papers In
proof. At the end of two days he was
brought before the military court, ex-
amined and found eligible for service
In the German army. His papers were
taken from him and he was sentenced
to six weeks in prison at the end Of
which time he must begin a three years
term in the army.
David Greismar of New York, who
accompanied Rothschild, employed a
lawyer. who laid the facts before the
military authorities with the result that
the sentence was changed to fine Of
300 marks, and papers were forwarded
to the war department at Berlin, which
will decide whether Rothschild shall
serve his army term. Rothschild paid
the fine and pending the decision of the
war department has gone to Switzerland
where he now is. David Rothschild will
communicate at once with the state
department in Washington regarding
the matter. One of the papers taken
from Rothschild and forwarded to Ber-
lin was the regular passport Of the
United States bearing the signature of
Secretary Gresham.
ANOTHER CASE.
Paterson, N. j.. June 10.-Herman
Flick Of Paterson, a naturalized citizen
of the United States, has for five months
! been confined under military charge in
the village of Kohlen Byringstedt in
Germany. The cause alleged for the
imprisonment is his liability to service
in the army Of that country, but as he
is provided with passports from the de-
partment Of state, and Is moreover
much under the height required for re-
cruits. it is thought there are other
reasons. Just before his illness began
| Secretary Gresham received some start
ling information concerning the con-
tinued Imprisonment of American citi-
i zens in Germany and though his illness
prevented immediate action the depart.
ment has now taken hold of it vigorous.

WHITNEY ON SOUND MONEY.
He Fayors an Educational Campaign
Against Free SILVER.

Boston, June 1o.-Ex-Secretary of the
Navy William G Whitney was inter
viewed at the home Of his mother. in
Brookline last night. lie said:
Il am not. and viii not be n presidential
candidate. If the silver men should carry
the next Democratic convention IL viii
split the party Tho Democrats must
stand for sound money. There are a good
many sound money men i'm the West and
South. and the Memphis convention,
think. has helped the cause along. Car
Isles speech at the convention was an ex-
eeent one and deserves to be widely
read. II has undoubtedly had an infu-
ence in the South. | think the people will
eventually treat this question the same as
they did the greenhack question. They
want sound money now just as much as
they did then"
Ar. Whitney said that he felt, however.
that the free silver question was liable to
assume the same proportions. or even
greater ones. than did the greenback ques-
ton He intimated that an organized edu-
caiional government was what was nee
essary 20 counterfeit the spread of the
free silver craze
J do not think the Republicans will care
70 reopen the tariff question again" he
sail " They see they would gain nothing
b. Il. The money question viii dominate
everything IN the next campaign unless
there Is a radical change I'm sentiment
within the next year"
N~. Whitney does not think any of the
Eastern states will follow the Illinois
Democrats in the matter of calling state
conventions 70 consider the financial ques-
ton
In answer 20 the question whether the
United States should continue TO build its
na.s Il has in the last few years. Mr..
Whitney said: Yes. but think what We
should Confine our attention 10 now is the
building Of large battle ships OF the best
type"
Mr. Whitney does not think the United
States could very well recognize the Gu
Tan Insurgents as helligercnts.
