John Ackland were arrested here last
night charged with leading a mob

the young lady, rushed to his room
and fired a rifle bullet into his, brain,
dying almost instantly. 1t is thought
that he was crazed by mis- unrequited
love. He was about 20 years old and
his victim but 10.
About 1920 o'clock last night, Mrs.
Allen and Miss Florence, who were
in the sitting room of their home
were frightened by the noise of some
one endeavoring to force entrance
through a side door. They started
for the front door to make their get
away and summon aid. Just as they
reached the exit Miss Allen was shot
dead, falling across the threshold,
and a second bullet grazed Mrs. AL
lens body. The assailant fed through
the rear door and Mrs. Allen, as 5000
as she recovered from her fear, hur-
riedly summoned neighbors. She
had secured but "a glimpse Of the
murderer and could give only a
meager description. The officers ia
addition to a score of citizens i'm
mediately began search for the Grim
inal. Suspicion was at once directed
against Becker. 1t was generally
known that he had been turned
down" by Miss Allen and it was
rumored that he had made threats.
The officers soon went to the vacant
house in the outskirts where he room
ed and forcing entrance found him
dead. He did not leave any note or
explanation so far as known.
The Allen and Becker families are
among the best known citizens. DR..
Allen has resided here for years and
Mr.. Jacob Becker is prominent
farmer living three miles east of the
city.
Miss Allen was about 10 years
old and a graduate of Iowa Wesleyan
college. Recently she has been an in
structor in Howe's academy here.
Young Becker has been attending the
academy for some time, staying in
town during the winter months.
Miss Allen and Becker went to-
gether for a considerable length Of
time but some months ago she sever
ed their relations. Becker took his
rejection bitterly and evidenced his
sorrow.

ORCHARD HAS MADE
A FULL CONFESSION

Boise, Ida, Feb. 26.-Governor

ing statement with respect to the
Steunenberg assassination case:
Il want to state officially that Har
ry Orchard has made a full confes.
SIGN as to the manner and motive o.
the assas sination of former Governor
SseTncnperg, telling of the plans
made and giving the names of those
making them. The assassination OF
former Governor Steunenberg, which
occurred at his own gate on the even.
ing CT Lee. 20, 1905, was the third
attempt that Orchard made against
his life. This confe sslon was made
to James Mcfarland. 1t included a
history of his life from his early boy
hood up to the time of his arrest.
In that confession Orchard implicated
all those now under arrest and others,
including ]. L. Simpkins. He told
the story of twentysix murders, the
results of conspiracies In which all
the accused parties were interested.
When this story Is given to the pub
lc l believe 1t will be the greatest
narrative of crime which the world
knows,
There has never been any doubt
as to the truth of Orchards confession
among those who are familiar with
the crimes committed in Idaho and
Colorado and charged to the inner
circle of the Western Federation OF
Miners. l have seen Orchard myself
since this confession was made. He
told me that no promises of clemency
or reward have been held out to him
by MCFARLAND or anyone else"
