sure to proceed with the statehood
bill he would ask to be heard at this
time.
Speech of Mr.. Patterson.
Mr.. Patterson then addressed the
senate on the statehood bill, speaking
in opposition to the passage of the
house bill He devoted his attention
almost exclusively to the portion of the
bill providing for the joining of Ariz-
ona and New Mexico and contended
that Arizona had an unqUestiOnable
right TO ultimate statehood. He ex-
pressed the opinion that Arizona and
New Mexico were now prepared for
separate statehood, and contended that
the country was in honor bound to OBJ
serve the compact made when the ter
ritOry of Arizona was created.
Some Interesting History.
Mr.. Patterson gave an interesting
account of the narrow escape that New
Mexico had had from becoming a state
when Colorado was admitted in 1876.
At that time Mr.. Patterson was the
delegate in congress from Colorado
and Senator EIkins the delegate from
New Mexico. Bills for the admission
Of both territories as states were
passed by the house and after being
AMENDED were also passed Dy the SELL
ate. When the bills were returned to
the house from the senate they were
| held on the speakers desk and while
retained there, Mr.. Burrows, now the
| senator from Michigan, made a, speech
which Mr.. Patterson said was so elo-
uuent that it aroused the greatest en-
thusiasm on the part of the repubIi-
cans, while at the same time it en-
ragged the democrats. Mr.. Elkins was
among the first to offer COngratula-
| items to Senator Burrows, and the dem
ocratic members were not slow to note
| his enthusiasm and to determine to
| punish him for the Offense-
Punished MIR. EikIns.
As q consequence when, at 2 o'clock
| in the morning of the last session, an
| effort was made to take the Colorado
/ and New Mexico bills from the speak
/ er's desk, the effort succeeded in the
| case of Colorado, but failed in the case
/ Of New Mexico
| Mr.. Patterson concluded that If New
| Mexico was ready for statehood thirty
| years ago it was now prepared for 1t.
| This anecdote related by Mr.. Pat
| terSOn as a reply to the charge which

HAREAs CORPUS CASES.
Prisoners Charge Conspiracy in the
Answers Filled.

Boise, Ida, March s.-CharIes H.
Meyer, William D. Haywood and
George H. Pettibone have filed their
answers in the supreme court to the
return made by Warden Whitney Of
the penitentiary in the habeas corpus
proceedings. They are practically
identical, though in some minor de-
tails respecting the movements of the
accused during some months prior to
the murder of which they are accused
they differ.

(SpeciaI to The HeraId.)

Boise, Ida. March S.-A curious COM
edy of errors was playing at Boise and
Caldwell today in the matter of the
a1raignment of Meyer. Haywood and
Pettibone, the Western Federation men
accused of the assassination of Gov
ernor Frank Steunenberg-
Early in the morning the announce
ment was made that the defendants,
who had been indicted yesterday,
would be taken from Boise to Caldwell
to be arraigned. First it was given
out that the party would go to Cald-
well on the early morning train. Lat
er this plan was abandoned and the
word was passed around that a spe-
cial train would be used.
Finally Got Away.
Then the special train idea was given
UP and Sheriff Nichols of Canyon cOun-
ty, together with several deputies, one
or two penitentiary guards and some
of the attorneys for the defense, finally
got away on the regular train leaving
here at 2 o'clock, and arrived IN Cald-
well at S:33 a. nj. At Nampa z. F.
Richardson of Denver, chief counsel for
the defendants, joined the party. When
Caldwell was reached Sheriff Nichols
solemnly lined up all hands and the
march to the court house was begun
A hundred yards from that building
Judge Smith was met. He announced
to all assembled that court had ad-
journed for the day and that, therefore,
the men could not be arTaigned before
tomorrow at the earliest So Sheriff
Nichols. having like the king of France
with his 0,000 men marched up the
hill, proceeded to walk down again. A
train for Boise happened along in
about an hour and everybody went
back to Boise.
Cause of the Tangie.
The sheriff had supposed the court
would wait for him and the court had
had no official notice that the sheriff
was coming These are assigned as the
reasons for the blunder. It is posi-
BILE that the defendants will be taken tc
Caldwell tomorrow for arraignment
| but it is hardly likely that they viii
go until Saturday, as they must be
present when the habeas corpus case
| is argued before the supreme court
Answers to the returns of Warden
Whitney were filed in those cases to-
day on behalf of the accused.
The pleadings are vOluminOus, cover.

original applications are repeated, en-

Name Is Changed.

When Fort Crittenden was first founded
in 1858 it was called Camp Floyd, after
Secretary Floyd, by General Johnston.
During the civil war Secretary Floyd ad-
hered to the confederate side. Colonel
Philip St George Cooke became the post
commander, and by his order the name Of
Camp Floyd was changed to that of Fort
Crittenden.
This post when it was first founded fur
nished a market for the products Of the
farm. ranch and dairy. The pioneers took
advantage of the commercial chance thus
afforded and re-supplied themselves with
clothing, tea coffee, sugar and other
neceSsaries When the camp was evacu-
ated IN 1862 the government property, such
as was not destroyed, was sold to the piO-
neers at q great sacrifice. The advent
Of the army was of great material bene-
fit to the settlers and resulted in the eS-

Congressman Howell's Bill for En-
try Is Favorably Reported
to House.

Fort Crittenden, located in Cedar Val
ley, Utah county, formerly called Fort
Floyd, will probably be thrown open for
entry. The house committee of public
lands reported favOrably yesterday on
Representative Joseph Howells' bill ex-
tending the provisions of the general land
laws over the abandoned military re-
serve.
This reservation was made in 1888 when
General Joseph z. Johnston founded Fort
Floyd during those stirring times in the
early history Of Utah. There are 49, 900
acres of land included in the reserve, but
there are no streams with which the land
would be irrigated. The soil is suitable,
however, for the production of grains, but
the scarcity of water would necessitdte
dry farming.
