which proved successful, and attempts
on the lives of other officials We're also
made. One bomb which was planted
in the path of Chief Justice Gabbert
of the Colorado supreme court blew up
another man, an assayer named Wal
ley, instead of the jurist for whom it
was intended.
One of the most remarkable Incl
dents in connection with the case oc-
Cured while this confession was being
read before Judges Gabbert and God
dart of Colorado, Adiutant General
| Wells of the same state and represent
| ativeS of the governors of Idaho and
Colorado. When the part of the con-
fession was reached in which Orchard
had described his attempt to blow up
Judge Goddart that iurist became I'M
easy. Orchard had said that the bomb
was still planted in the earth in front
| of the judges home and might be
found where he had placed it, but that
great care would need to be exercised
in its removal The judge was think
ing of his family and, fearful lest some
member of it might be killed by the
murderous weapon while the reading
of the confession was in progress, ask
ed an adjournment of the case at once
and hurried to his home Orchard had
declared that the bomb was arranged
in the same way as that which had
killed Governor Steunenberg and also
after the manner of that used in blow
ing up the thirteen men at Independ-
ence station in 1904. He said that the
bomb was about six inches below the
surface on the outside of the gatenost
that it was covered with a piece of
sacking, that wire from the bomb
rame just above the surface to the end
ot which small tishhook was attach
ed. A screw eye was driven into the
gate, and piece of wire was attached
to this, said the confession, and when
ready for use the wire from the screw
eye was slipped into the fishhook living
on the ground. The slightest opening
of the gate when this was set would
blow up the person opening it.
Judge Goddard on reaching homo
found the screw eye as described. but
dared not look for the bomb. On his
return the reading of the confession
was finished and then the entire party
OF eight went to the residence of the
judge, where General Wells undertake
the dangerous work of digging U6 toe
bomb and found it laid exact,7 as
Orchard had described.

spent two years
in visiting all places associated with
Columbus in Spain and America as
the result of Il commission received
from the Worlds Columbian cxposi-
ton, and his investigations have
thrown much light on the vexed ques-
tons OF the first landing place of Co
lumbus ana Of the final resting place
of the remains of the great explorer.
In his columbus the Dscoycrer' he
has this 10 say as TO the long disputed
question OF the island upon which the
explorer first set foot on reaching this
side OF the Atlantic:
NO one may positively assert that
he can identify the admiral's landfalr
or the coast he sighted on that memo
rable October morn in 1852 To the
first island | found. he wrote in his
journal. 1 gave the name of San Sal
vador (or St Saviour, in remem-
brauce of his high majesty, who hath
marvcluuSly brought all these things
to pass: the Indians call it Guanahani'
But where that island lies and just
where Columbus landed are matters of
dispute today. Many enthusiastic in
vestigators have tried to trace the voy-
agings of the admiral, following after
him with chart and compass, but
whether he first landed on Cat island,
on Watling's or ON Eleuthera the only
thing we can affirm is that the island
lies somewhere midchain of the Bahia

that the convention Itself will have to fight

There has already appeared every evil

the senator's unforglying political enemies
and they control a large number OF dele
gates. They will be against any candidate
who is suspected of being friendly to Pen
rose. They will be for almost any man
who is on the anti-Penrose side.
Some of them favor Watres. These are
to be found among the out-and-out sup
porters of John p. Eikin. and there IS evil
