In the Shoulder, Bathes His
8 Wounds and Turns Him Loose.
Especial to The Herald

BOISE, Idaho, Aug. sc. w. Holt, of
Grand View, started on horseback for
Montana yesterday. He had consider
able money with him. He had proceeded
but a short distance from Grand View,
when he was confronted by two men on
foot who. with drawn revolvers, ordered
him to throw up his hands. He slid off
his horse and opened fire upon the hold
ups, who shot several times at Holt.
One of the robbers was shot in the
shoulder and the other ran. Holt took
the wounded man to the river after dis
arming him and after bathing his
wounds turned him loose.

state law was created today. The dis
trict is near this city and farmers re-

death trap and during my associa-
ton with Holmes I was in il often
and in fact occupied room there. y
stranger to the city during the
Worlds Fair was decoyed into that
castle and murdered for his money.
He did not have as much money IS
Holmes thought-only S3,I0G. y bright
little boy was enticed into the castle
during the fair and held in room tor
five days for reward for his re-
covery. No reward being offered. they
were afraid to turn him out, and the
gas was turned into his room at night
and he was suffocated
I could mention other such cases OF
crime committed in the castle and als-
cussed in my presence, but these are
sufficient, except one, and that was OF
Mamie Williams. The cause of her
killing, as explained by Holmes, was
that one of the girls must be put out
of the way and that he could manaSe
Minnie easier than he could Mamie.
Minnie Williams was crazy in love
with Holmes, and she was jealous OF
her sister, as Holmes was paying her
some attention too. and he took par
ticular pains to increase her Jealousy.
to work her up to the point Of doing
the deed to get Mamie Williams out
of the way.
Allen concluded by saying that every
word in his statement was true and
that he did not make it to secure 3
pardon: that he knew Governor Clarke
too well to believe that he would issue
pardon unless the evidence would
break Holmes neck.

"SOME DAY"
a JURY MAY BE SECURED ~ THE
DURRANT CASE.
Opposing Attorneys Promise That
the Case Will Be Rushed Through
rs Rapidly as Possible When the
Twelve Men Have Been Secured.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 2S.-All par
ties in the Durrant case expect by
the middle of next week the taking of
testimony will be well under way. The
opposing attorneys promise that no
time will be lost as soon as the pre-
liminaries are Cleared away. It is said
that each side will try to impeach the
testimony of opposing witnesses and
some unpleasant developments are ex-
pected. The police have another wit
ness in the person OF Alexander Zen
ger, a member of Emanuel church.
where the double murder took place.
Zenger will testify, it is said, that he
saw Durrant and Minnie Williams to-
gether in front of Emanuel church a
short time before the murder on the
night of April II.
The plan of having the sheriff Sc
lect a special venire of 10 citizens was
barren of results today The special
venire was exhausted but the twelfth
juror was not secured Two veniremen
We're accepted by the prosecution, but
peremptorilly challenged by the de-
Tense Another special venire OF 70
was ordered for tomorrow.
The workmen in the shoe factory
where Durrant's father is employed
struck because the proprietor has re-
fused to discharge Durrant and an
objectionable foreman The strike was
settled by the discharge of all the
strikers and the employment of new
workmen.

has three supreme court judges, gov
ernor, congressman and superintendent
of public instruction. II also expects
at least one and probably two senators
if the Republicans elect the legisla-
ture. As there is a feeling that salt
Lake must not have the salt OF the
earth this weakens the ticket.
The platform adopted is strictly Oh
the Allen brand It is Republican, and
in some of its provisions it is eccentric
and questionable. When it attempts
to arraign the Democratic party for
alleged ballot box stuff1ng it is reach
ing the. climax in partisanship- 1t has
not yet been proven who tempered
with the ballot box or where or how
they were tempered with. The matter
is still open. But if fraud was commit
ted and was committed by Democrats
it must not be charged to the Demo-
cratic party. That party will be the
first to repudiate it and to censure the
men responsible. No issue can be made
on this point.
But the ticket is before the people.
That its strength will be more than
met by the united Democracy cannot
be doubted. and the campaign will be
on the principles of the parties OPP
posed.

WALLACE. Ida. Aug. 2S.--Osborn is
surrounded by immense forest fires
and momentarily threatened with de-
struction. In response to a telephone
message the fire department with the
entire apparatus was loaded aboard
a special train, and has left to assist
the neighboring town in its peril. Os-
born is in the Occur d'Alene district
in a deep canyon, with high noun
Dains on both sides. which are heavily
timbered, and with this dense forest
ablaze on both sides it is more than
likely that the town is doomed. Fears
are strengthened by the fact that COM
munication cannot be had with the
threatened town, by either telephone
or telegraph.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 2S.-The
factional fight that has been going on
for some time in Chinatown between
the See Yup and the Sam Yup has
eliminated in the disruption of the
Six Companies, the most powerful or
ganization ever instituted by the Chi
nese in this country
All the efforts of Consul General Ii
Yung Yew and other prominent Chi

coming to San Francisco and trying
his powers as a peacemaker.
The secession of the See Yups from
the Six Companies leaves the latter
with the small end of the organiza-
ton and a depleted treasury. The boy

OMAHA. Aug. pa special to the
Bee from North Platte. Neb., says:
Hans and Knute Knuteson. the young
Nebraska farmers who held up the
overland express on the Union Pacific
at Brady Island one week ago tonight,
are this evening en- route to the peni-
Tertiary with a sentence of ten years
each. They pleaded guilty. The proof
of guilt was absolute. They said they
were impelled to do the work by the
belief that great fortune might be
easily made. They said they secured
less than $50 from the safe which they
blew open in the express car The
through safes. which resisted their ef-
forts. were filled with treasure. The
boys have worked on farms in the
sandhilis several years and were not
regarded as Desperate characters.

the retirement from business of a
large number of firms. The boycott is
not confined to this city. but is being
extended to every place in the United
States where Chinese reside in any
number.
This state CT affairs has been tele-
graphed to the minister. A few days
ago he informed the Chinese officials
that unless the boycott was declared
off within twelve days from the dats
of his telegram he would come 20
San Francisco and take a hand in the
controversy. This is understood to
mean that some of the leaders IN the
warfare may expect to have their
heads Topped off whenever they re-
turn to China unles they comply with
the commands of the minister.

Indianapolis that the supposed body of
young Pietzel had been located in the
chimney in a house in the suburbs of
that city, was conveyed to II. n Holmes
in his cell at Moyamensing prison by HIS
attorney this afternoon.
The attorney had n long conference with
the notorious prisoner in relation to this
new phase in the case and states that
Holmes did not waver in his claim that
Howard Pietzel had been left in the care
of Hatch and Minnie Williams on Oct 1C
last Holmes counsel said that his eli
ent is so accustomed to hearing of start
ling developments in the famous case
and has been SO frequently accused OF
crimes which 1t would have been physi
cally impossible for him to commit. that

The hall which seats 1000 people was

devoted more to a discussion of the sit

nized that argument was not needed
here. He laid particular stress upon the
ignorance of the people of the east on
the subject. urging the necessity of push
ing a campaign of education in that sec
ton. He said the prospect for silver was

The Decorations.

The DECORATIONS of the theater were
very tasteful From the centerpiece
hung a dozen long streams of bunt-
ing, running down to the level OF the
second balcony, and caught up again
in the third balcony. From the center
hung a sphere of small flags, duph-
Gated by three others hanging higher
I'D over the orchestra. Two smaller
spheres hung from the flies. Small
flags decorated all the gas fixtures,
lining the balconies. Over the boxes
were cheap Autographs of Garfield
and Harrison. Around the balconies
were streamers of bunting. AS a
background on the stage were large
flags. But hanging in the center, over
shadowing all proceedings, was the
banner of the Oquirrh club, with its
rising sun peeping over the mountains.
Potted ferns and plants were ranged
in front of the stage.
