AN AGED COUPLE
FOULLY MURDERED
Hacked to Death in Their
Mountain Cabin.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

ANGELS CAMP, June 3O.-In the
high mountains, about forty miles from
this place, an atrocious crime was COM
mitted by young man While in mad
rage, after being repeatedly refused
piece of property which belonged to his
aged uncle. The news was brought here
by q logger, Jacob Whitsone, who has
been working in the vicinity of JON
athan Bakers place, cutting timber.
The details as given by him are hor-
rible in the extreme.
An Indian girl called Mamuela came
into the logging camp at an early hour
on Wednesday morning and said that
Baker had been killed by young fell
low at his cabin. She would not talk
further. A party started for the scene
and found Baker lying on the floor of
his home in pool OF blood. Near MN
| lay his wife cold in death.
Bakers head was crushed in and had
a great cash through it made by an
ak. Mrs. Bakers head was completely
severed from the body and the left arm
was terribly hacked. Wounds were
seen on the face and body. After a
search of the premises was made about
5000 was found, and that, taken with
the fact that the place was in an or
derly condition, indicated that robbery
was not the motive for the crime.
The Indian girl was made to talk fur
in her broken language how young
man named Biggs, a nephew of Baker
was angry with the couple because they
would not give him the place on which
they lived. He had been offered piece
of twenty acres, and this but increased
his anger. He had made threats on sew
eral occasions, and of late had acted
queerly and seemed to thtink of moth
ing but the old peoples refusal to deed
him the property. He had left the
cabin where he stayed few mornings
ago very early and had not returned
He has not been seen since. and a party
is searching for him, as it is believed
that he is the guilty man.
The logging camp near the scene of
the crime is called Molinas Camp and
is in an almost inaccessible part of the
country. Whitsone was not very we'll
versed in the geography of the country,
and was not certain of the exact loca-
tion further than it is near the State
line. Baker and his wife were over so
years of age, and young Biggs is but
26 years.

SPOKANE, June 30.-Charles Fryett,
a young Wardner clerk, the only sup
port of a widowed mother, has been
bound over by United States Commis-
sioner H. P. Strong of Walla Wa4la on
a charge of interfering with the mails
during the riots Bail was fixed by the
Commissioner at $4,000 Absolutely no
testimony was given before the Com
missioner to warrant the holding OF
Fryett. A stenographic report of the
hearing shows the following facts:
Postofffce Inspector Charles Bratton,
who signed the complaint, was the first
witness. Bratton testified that his
home is in Spokane, that he was not
at Wardner the day of the riots and did
not know whether Fryett was in Idaho
that day. Coroner France, Acting
Sheriff at Wardner, was the only other
witness called. He swore he was in
Wardner the day of the riot, saw the
trains side-tracked and saw a crowd of
1900 men. The other questions to France
and his answers follow:
Did you see anything of the defend
ant there?" mo, sir, | did not"
You did not see him there that
day." No"
You had a talk with the defendant
this morning. Yes, sir
You told him that if he would go to
Idaho you would sign papers to
release him. if he would become a wit
ness for the State?' Il spoke to him
as having authority from the State. l
couldn't speak with any authority in
this Federal trial"
The defense objected to a general
question asking France if he could con-
meet Fryett with Obstructing the mails.
This objection was OVerruled, and
France said that while conducting the
inquest he heard testimony that Fryett
was seen to mingle with the crowd.
The Commissioner then announced
that he would bind the prisoner over
and fix his bond a t $4,000.

BURBIDGE TELLS HOW
HE LED THE RETREAT

WALLACE, Idaho, June 30-The TAX
ing of testimony in the action against
the County Commissioners was con-
cluded to-day, and at the request of the
court the case against the Sheriff was
Immediately taken up. Judge Stewart
expressed a desire to have all the evil
yience in both cases presented to him
before argument was begun in the Com
missiOners case.
The greater part of the afternoon ses-
sion was occupied with the testimony
Of Frederick Burbidge, manager of the
Bunker Hill Company. His statements
created q great deal of laughter, espe-
cialIy when he told how he led the
forces of the company in making their
retreat when it was learned that the
miners were coming from Canyon
Creek Burbidge said that when he
heard the train from Wallace was com
party was on board. He instructed his
men to remain at work and pay no at
tentiOn TO the suaSiOnistS. Soon after
he received a telephone message to the
effect that some of the men were
masked and armed. He then marShaled
his men and ordered them to abandon
the companys property. He himself led
that he reached Kingston, seven miles
away, in about an hour. The company
had a number of rifles and a quantity of
ammunition on hand for the purpose of
defense, but the witness thought it best
to leave the property at the mercy of
the mob, especially as he, as a matter
of business precaution, notified the
County Commissioners several days
previously that the county would be
held responsible for any damage done
the company's property. Burbidge also
stated that his company had refused to
arbitrate with the Miners Union, al
though requested to do so by Governor
Steunenberg, and said that whenever a
union man was found working in the
mine ne was at once discharged. The
policy of the company for years had
been to employ no union men. The
wages were so cents and 81 per day less
than the union scale.
Burch. superintendent of the mine,
followed Burbidge on the stand. His
testimony was of a similar character.
A barricade of about forty ore cars had
been formed near the tunnel entrance
and men with Winchesters were placed
there to protect the property, but wit
ness when he heard the mob was COM
ing, took to the hills and mad covered
about two miles when the train reached
the station.
Senator Heitfeldt arrived here to-day.
It was understood he came for the pur-
pose of personally investigating the sit
uation and to lay the matter before
Congress at it's next session.

GOMPERS SYMPATHIZES
BUT WILL NOT AID

WASHINGTON, June 30.-The Amer
lean Federation of Labor in this city
to-day received telegram from Ed
ward Boyce of the Miners Union in
Montana, asking cooperation and sup
port in a national labor convention to
be held in Chicago to protest against
the action of the military authorities
in Idaho. President Gompers, while
expressing sympathy with the object
of the convention, declined to have the
American Federation drawn officially
into action with this particular move
ment.
The message from Mr.. Boyce was as
follows:
BUTTE. Mont, June 2S.-Samuel
Gompers, Washington, d. c.: VIII you
join union men of the West and hold d
national union labor convention at
Chicago July II to protest against the
usurpation of power by military au-
thorities in Idaho? ED BOYCE."
President Gompers replied:
Edward Boyce, Butte, Mont: The
American Federation of Labor author
ICES its officers to take every action to
further labor interests, but special con-
Ventions have proven expensive, use
less. superfiuous and often destructive
of the purposes for which they were
called. We shall leave no effort un-
tried to prevent military or other usur-
patton and we should have your CO.

STRIKE BEGUN
At HONEST FAD
Danger of a Repetition
Of Strife of '92.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

PITTSBURG, June 30.-The Post to-
morrow will say: A strike was in
augurated at the Homestead Steel
Works to-day which may rival the bat
tie between capital and labor which
was fought on that famous spot seven
years ago The discharge of fifteen
men at the plant during the past three
weeks is at the bottom of the trouble.
These men were dismissed because of
their affiliation with the newly formed
lodge of the Amalgamated Association.
The strike, of whatever proportions
it may be, was precipitated to-day
when a committee of nine men, who
sought the reinstatement of the dis
charged men, were also discharged for
the same reason. superintendent Corey
informed the men that no organized
men would be retained, though it be-
came necessary to close down the en-
tire plant.
At a secret meeting of the men. held
on Thursday, it was decided to stand
by the organization, and in the event
of the discharge of any of their mem
bers all would strike.
When the nine men were discharged
to-day they were not permitted to re-
turn to the MILL and the walkout was
not Immediately carried out. but event
ualiy one of the men gained access to

MAY BOYCOTT
SOUTHERN PACIFIC
Chicago Merchants Up
in Arms.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CHICAGO, June 3O.-At a conference
between the wholesale merchants and
manufacturers of this city and the rep
Fesentatves Of the Western railroads to-
day il was practically resolved to boy
colt the Southern Pacific and Kansas
City Pittsburg and Gulf railroads unless
they increase the freight rates from New
York TO the trans Mississippi territory
and withdraw the demand for a differen-
tial of Is per cent less than all rail rates
from New York 10 trans Missouri River
territory
The low rates recently made from New
York by the Morgan and Mallory steam
ship lines. in connection with the South
ern Pacific and tthe Kansas City, Pitts
burg and Gulf railroads. are less than
the rates from Chicago TO the same
points west Of the Missouri River, and
consequently wholesale merchants and
manufacturers Of Chicago, St. Louis and
other Western cities are unable to COM
pete in that territory. 1t is believed the
Southern Pacific is responsible for the
rate discrimination against Chicago. 1t
owns the Morgan steamship line from
New York 70 Gulf ports. and the Mallory
line is forced to meet rates made by the
Morgan line. In addition, the Southern
Pacific carries freight from the steamers
to the Kansas City, Pittsburg and Gulf
Railroad, which gets but pittance for
carrying the freight on to Kansas CITY
and intermediate points on its line.
The Southern Pacific has always
worked against Chicago and ! think it IS
time for US TO return the compliment
said a representative of one of the biggest
nerca ntile houses Of the city at the con
ference. THAT railroad has always de-
manded that freight rates be as low
from New York as from Chicago to the
Pacific Coast and now it demands the
right to make rates lower by 10 per cent
from New York to points west of the Mis-
souri, River than rates from Chicago The
right thing for every merchant and man
ufacturer of Chicago and St. Louis to do
is to send all California shipments by
way Of the Santa Fe road, the only rival
Of the Southern Pacific. 1t is 20 the in
terest of the Santa Fe to advance the in
terests of Chicago, and We should in turn
aid the Santa Fc"
Similar views were expressed by 9th
ers, but it was finally decided 70 await
the result of the conference to be held
at New York next Thursday between
the traffic officials of Western railroads,
the Gulf, and the Southern Pacific rail
roads and the Mallory and Morgan
steamship lines

that if he (Otis) did not have enough
men it was his own fault. The President
also realizes that the better the men are
cared for and their health preserved the
more capable they will be of doing eff
fective work, and before the rainy sea-
son began General Otis was instructed to
prepare for it, and in various ways was
given TO understand that the President
