ORCHARD ON TRIAL
Alleged Murderer Of Gov. stunen-
berg has Preliminary

Harry Orchard the man accused Of kill
ing former Governor Stunenberg, was on
trial in the preliminary hearing at Cald
well, Ida, Saturday and Monday. v hen
court adjourned Monday iC was learned
the prosecution had not placed Oh the
stand those whom they considered the
best witnesses.
The prosecuting attorney was asked
why other witnesses who had been sum
mOned had not been allowed to testify.
He replied: "It was entirely unnecessary" ;"
The testimony already ia was entirely
sufficient to insure that Orchard be held
for trial. | can say that the very strong
eet evidence we have against the pris-
oner has not been exposed in this ex-
animation and will lot be made public
il we can prevent it until the actual
trial is on"
Attorney Miller said: "They may be-
hoodwinking me, but doubt very much
if they have evidence enough to convict
my client. There was certainly not
enough presented at the preliminary
trial to convict him of murder before a
fair minded Jury.
"It is my honest conviction Orchar1
will never be brought to trial. My?
Simply because | think the detec iye-
working on the cns4 Will tn1 the real
murderer Of ex Governor ; gutenberg
before the date f trial arrirea, and my
client will be released"
The preliminary was held behind
closed doors, even the reporters being
excluded.

TO ASK WHEAT RATE
Railroad Commission Covers Up
Requests for Joint Rates.
Illness of Chairman FairchiId Pre-
vents Publication of Complaints
From Various Shippers.

A dispatch from Olympia says: The
railroad commission has issued a state
ment announcing that complaint had
been made to it against the railroad
companies concerning a lack Of Joint
rate on wheat from O. r & n. points to
Puget sound. The millers of Seattle
and Tacoma to the number Of six signed
a strongly worded complaint, asking for
a joint wheat rate. This complaint has
been on file for several days. In addi-
tion thereto it has heretofore been stated
on competent authority that com
plant was in course OF preparation by
shippers in the Palouse country The
railroad commission is silent as to the
character or the number OF the CON-
plants, but the reason for Withholding
information concerning them is given in
the statement as follows:
Owing to the fact that the meeting OF
the railroad commission has been delayed
by the sickness OF Chairman Fairchild,
who is detained at his home in Belling-
ham, no announcement has heretofore
been made Of the fling OF complaints
against the railways asking for a joint
rate on wheat from 0. R. & n. points in
eastern Washington. Definite informa
tion concerning complaints of this char
acter will not be given out until after
the meeting of the commission.
The state concludes with the announce
ment that the complaint has been filed.
The complaint from western shippers
of wheat was wholly unexpected, and it
is believed, took the commission very
much by surprise. 1t has been anticl-
pated that the hearing on this, the N ain
spring of the railroad commission legis
lation, would be held in eastern Wash
ington. The law requires that the hear.
ing shall be held in the county where the
complaint originates. 1t is believed the
commission will choose eastern Wash.
ington for the hearing if the Palouse
complaint materializes. 1t will also fol-
low the plan adopted in bringing about
the recent Colfax joint rate hearing on
coarse grains and other products by

TO Go AFTER MILWAUKEE.
Business Men in Commercial Club Meeting Start
Big Boost for Colfax Interests
Committee Appointed to Try New
July Celebration, County and to
Build A Fine


To present the claims of Colfax to the
officials OF the Chicago. Milwaukee 4 st.
Paul as future station on the new line,
now almost an assured fact, to demon
strate the amount Of business which can
be secured through such connection and
to assist on the right of way.
To begin at once the preparations for
monster Fourth of July celebration to
be held on the streets of Colfax.
To inaugurate the preliminary ar
rangements for a Whitman county fair
to be held this fall.
To build and own a club house which
shall possess social and athletic features
as we'll as strong commercial backing.
Such were the results of one of the
largest meetings of the COlfaX Com
mercial club held Tuesday afternoon at
the Office of Secretary George Lennox.
New life was injected into the club pro.
jects and sturdier battle for recogui-
tion OF the many advantages OF Colfax is
assured since the plain vOieing OF the
opinions of progressive business men.
The annual meeting of the commercial
club was held last Friday afternoon,
when about eight members were present.
At that time the old officers were re-
elected for another year. They are:
President, Ben Burgunder; vice president,
F. A. Russell; treasurer, E. I. Conan;
secretary, George Ii. Lennox.
At that meeting committee consist
ing of E. J. Peschau and Andrew John
son was named to personally visit every
business man in the city and secure his
promise to attend a special meeting
called for Tuesday afternoon. The com
mittee went to work in earnest and as a
result Of the effort to boost. there were
3S in attendance, with "a of them mem
members of the club through renewals
or first applications.
When President Burgunder called for
a report OF the soliciting committee
something OF a sensation was caused by
the winding up of the report with
recommendation that, owing to the
small number attending the annual
meeting, the officers then elected should
tender their designations ia order that
the larger meeting might have d choice
in naming officers for the ensuing year.
This precipitated a lively discussion
which ended with roll call of votes on
a motion that the present officers be
continued. The motion to continue
carried with vote OF 20 to IA
William Goodyear called attention to
the official announcement that the Mil
waukee would not extend its main line
through Spokane, but would cut through
the Palouse country, with a strong
probability of its tapping Colfax and
suggested the appointment Of com
mittee to take active measures in insur-
ing the passing of the road through the
city.
Charles Mackenzie secured the floor
to state that at a special meeting. OF
few business men called to discuss GER
tain enterprises, the question of the Mil
waukee coming through COlfax had been
taken up. He announced that informa-
tion had been received that the line
would most likely follow the Palouse
river from Winona and that it was
pretty well understood that COlfax
would be tapped. The meeting. he said.

TO PRISON FOR LIFE.
Matthias Garrant, Assailant OF Lone
Women, Severely Punished,

Matthias Garrant, the fiendish hobo
who attempted to assault Mrs Malcolm
st. Clair and Mrs Samuel Phelps at
their homes four miles from Garfield last
week, will spend the remainder of his life
behind prison bars.
Garrant was sentenced to life i'm
prisonment in Walla Walla by Judge
Chadwick Wednesday morning. Despite
his boasts OF having a better time in
prison than out, the bestial assailant
shed tears after leaving the court room
and while being led back to his cell in
the county jail.
Garrant. when arrested, admitted the
attempted assaults and also confessed
to having served term in the Montana
prison for the same offense.
In order to make an example of the
brute, Prosecutor Kipp sent to Mon
tana for the record of the conviction
and, through Garrant confessing to both
attempted assaults in this court. was
able to show three statutory crimes
which, under the law, admitted of a life
sentence.
The prosecution and the community
is to be congratulated on the putting
away safely OF so dangerous a dsgener-
ate.
