REDS PREACH VIOLENCE.
Chicago Socialists Would Resort to
Arms to Avenge Death.


Chicago March 5.-Two thousand
socialists, some of them of a radical
stamp. held two meetings Sunday and
pledged armed revolution and their
lives to the "workingmen's cause" If
Hayward. Meyer and Pettibone, Of
ficers of the Western Federation of
Miners, should be sent to the gallows
for the alleged murder of Governor
Steunenberg Of Idaho.
There we're speakers who urged
revolution by means of the ballot and
others who advised taking up arms to
avenge the death Of the accused men
If they should be convicted and
hanged. Those who admonished ways
Of peace to accomplish their ends were
heard in silence. Those who preach
ed violence and resort to arms we're
wildly cheered agai nand again. The
temper of both meetings was plainly
in favor Of a radical action.
One of the speakers improvised a
poetical platform, and when It was re-
cited there was great applause and
shouts Of Good, good"
Here is the way the lines ran:
VIII Meyer and Hayward die
II they die, here's our cry:
There are twenty million workingmen
Who will know the reason why"
A collection amounting to several
hundred dollars was taken to help the
accused defend themselves in the
courts.

GRAND JURY
HAS Indicted

Caldwell, Idaho, March 2. - The
grand jury. which has been investigat-
ing the assassination of former Govern
or Frank Steunenberg, has made its re-
port to Judge Smith. Judge Smith
withheld the names Of the persons in
dicted. 1t is stated, however, that the
six men under arrest and detained in
the state penitetniary at Boise are in
cluded in the indictments and that they
will be arraigned before Judge Smith.
1t is believed that a special train will
be used to bring the men here from
Boise, as the officers fear that an at
tempt upon the life of Harry Orchard
or Steve Adams NAV be made if any
opportunity is offered. None of the de
PENDANTS were present in court when
the grand jury reported.

ANOTHER SENSATION.
Boise Authorities Fear Because Of
Powder Robberies.

BOISE AutnOritlcS rear BECAUSE VI
Powder Robberies.
Another sensation, which many as
sert has connection with the Steunen-
berg murder case, was brought out
Saturday at Boise, Idaho. During the
evening the powder house of the East
man-Teller Hardware company was
broken into and a considerable quanti-
ty of No. 1 giant powder taken. The
robbers did not break open the door,
but dug a hole through the back wall,
replacing the stones after taking the
powder. 1t is reported 400 pounds
were taken, but the company does not
think il nearly so much. The powder
house OF the Idaho Hardware and
Plumbing company was also broken
open. but members Of the company re-
fuse to state whether anything was
taken. An attempt was also made to
open the house of the Carlson-Lusk
company. Theft of the powder gives
rise to no little apprehension. The
suggestiveness of the theft is empha-
sized by knowledge of the fact that
many OF the worst characters OF the
Occur d'Alenes and Cripple Greek are
gathered in Caldwell and other points
in Canyon county. A Silver City man
saw one OF the most radical agitators
of his camp in Caldwell, and another
man from Silver City reports that
many Of the radical union men have
quit work and left town. He thinks
they are in Canyon county. Officers
have recognized several hard charac-
tiers from Cripple Greek.
Threatening letters are numerous.
Il is said that persons connected with
the prosecution have been warned.
One is said to have been advised he
will be dynamited unless the cases
against Meyer and Haywood are dis
missed.
