president of the Telluride Miners
union and at present head Of the min
ers' union at Burke, Idaho, has arrived

mere few years ago.

or assisted in such a crime in any way.
l am ready to stand trial on any
charge, believing that will be prompt
ly acquitted by any fair minded jury.
| do not want any delay in this case
and hope the authorities will expedite
matters as much as possible"
st. John was asked if he feared
lynching WELL" he answered, with
shrug Of his shoulder, "a person can
only die once. l can't see any differ
ence in being strung up by mob and
being railroaded to the gallows on

Say Steve Adams Is Crazy.
The Salt Lake Tribune correspond
ent at Park City, Utah, says:
Steve Adams, alias Adam Stevens,
who has gained much notoriety Of
late because of his connection with the
Steunenberg case, resided in Park City
last June and worked as a miner at
the DAILY West. On June 10, while
the family of Arthur Hooper was in
Salt Lake City, Adams entered the
Hooper home and removed the furni-
ture. He was arrested and lodged in
the city jail on the charge of house
breaking. 1t was thought at that time
that his mind was unbalanced, as the
furniture was removed in broad day
light and in the presence of the neigh
bors. For this reason the charge
against him was reduced to petit lar
ceny and he was fined $25, which he
paid and left town.
While in jail Adams talked freely
of his life, and stated he had been in
Cripple Creek during the trouble there.
He told persons here, it is alleged,
that he was familiar with the inside
workings of the union, and was one
of the three men chosen to assassi-
nate the three judges of the supreme
court of Colorado, Governor Peabody
and Adjutant Bell He told of having
been in Cripple Creek and said it was
he who placed the loaded revolvers in
the indicator shaft that resulted in
the deaths of Mccormick and Beck.
A photograph taken of the man in
Idaho has been recognized by several
who knew him there. He was not
member of the local branch of the
Western Federation Of Miners and is
unknown to the officers of this union.
Adams was hard drinker and those
who knew him here are of the opin-
Ion that the man Is insane.

by the sin of the people, the pollution
must be removed, lest the Divine

An Interesting Relic.

Unknown to many in this city piece
of the plate of the old Colonial Church
at jamestown has been deposited for
safe-keeping at the First National Bank
since the year 1866, just forty years ago.
Bishop Meade knew OF it and stated
that 1t was preserv I'd at the Theological
Seminary. Evidently it was sent to
Alexandra oy the late DIR. Packard
through Rev. DR.. Sprigg to the First
National Bank for preserving ii in safety.
This piece of plate is paten OF the
old style for containing the bread used at
Holy Communion. The inscription upon
il Is in Latin and reads as follows: "ln
usum ecclesiae Jscobi-polis ex dono
Dll Edmundi Andres Equitis Virgiuiae
Gubernatoris. Ammo DomIni MDCAClV,
that is for the use of the church at
Jameslown, the gilt of Lord Edmund
Andres, Knight, Governor of Virginia
in the year of our Lord 1894 This In
scription surrounds the coat of arms OF
Governor Andres. This piece OF plate
is thus 2l2 years old and is of great
value on account Of lis history. 1t must
have been lost for some time as there is a
further inscription added to the old one,
"Presented by Hugh Monroe OF Mobile
to the Diocese of Virginia through Rev.
b. B. Leacock, 1856" The paten was
brought to the Gazette Office today by
one of the professors of the Seminary
and shown to a number of gentlemen.
1t will be an interesting relic for the
jamestown Exposition.
