Chicago, Feb 19.-The first public

here Saturday night and hurriedIy re-
moved to Idaho were charged directly
with the murder of Ex-Governor Frank
Steunenberg, Of Idaho, and not merely
with being accessories to the crime
The complaints and acquisitions in the
three cases are identical, and charge
the accused men with having dis
charged the bomb by means of which
Steunenberg was killed at Caldwell,
Ida, Dee. 80, 1905.
Why the Murder Charge Was Made.
The specific charge of murder was
made, it is explained, in order to fore
stall habeas corpus proceedings on be
half Of the accused men, but no at
tempt will be made to prove that they
were in Idaho at the time of the com
mission Of the crime. It is alleged.
however, that they conspired with 9th
ers to murder Steunenberg and fur
nished funds to carry out the plot. The
atrOciOuS murders committed during
the labor troubles in the Cripple Greek
and Telluride districts in this state,
which have been shrOuded in mystery
the earlier Occur d'Alevene murders,
and the more recent Steunenberg assas-
sinatiOn, form chain of crimes with
which efforts are being made to con-
meet the officers Of the Western Fed

have been made by Harry Orchard
who is charged with the Steunenberg
murder.

TWO PRECINCTS MADE OF THE PRESENT ONE-NEW WARDS
 FOR DOUGLAS.

DOUGLAS,\ ,\ June 26.-{Special.)-
 It Is gathered from reliable sources that a new judicial precinct will be created in Pirtleville, which is now part of Precinct No. 8, of which Judge Mcdonald is the justice of the peace. It is understood that the board of su- pervisors will, at the next meeting of the board, pass the nevessary measure and appoint a justice of the peace and a constable for the new precinct.
 The jurisdiction of the new just ce will cover everything north of the Southwestern main line. as far east as A avenue. That section north of the railroad and east of A avenue will be in Judge McDonald's precinct.
 It has not been learned who will be the court officers of the new pre- cinct, but it will be only or a short term, as a new set of precinct officers will be elected at the coming election this fall.
 Douglas has bee ndivided in two wards for the coming territorial and county elections. That part of the precinct north of Tenth street will be known as ward No. 4. and thai south of Tenth street will be ward No. AZ.

A UNITED PARTY.

Democrats can well afford to be glad over the prospects of a once more reunited party and a national victory in 1908. During the past month it has been made manifest that in 1908 the democrats of every state and sec ton of the country will arise and with one voice demand the nomination of William J. Bryan for president and a platform demanding that the great democratic principle of equal rights

ed the call to arms through the means of his primary pledge" which has been subscribed to by many thousands throughout the country.
 Mir. Bryan has never lost confidence in the patriotism and honesty of the American people. and knowing that the principles of the democratic party are those which will bring the country back to it's old moorings, when meas ures were measured for their worth to the masses rather than to the classes, he has clung to the old ship through the fierce gales of the past, while many who were deceived joined the republicans under the cry of sound money" and while others worse de- ceiyed turned to the socialists in the hope of remedying the condition of the country.
 When MT. Bryan arrives in New York about the first of September he and east, north. south and west will extend to him such a welcome as no other American ever received at a homecoming. Watterson, of Kentucky, will be there to pledge the support of the south; the north will be there | with a distinguished democrat and cit lien; the west has not yet named a man to represent her at the Bryan coming, but a man will be there to speak for the Rockies and the Pacific coast, while the east will be ablaze with enthusiasm.
 Let the Bryan boom continue. It is the breaking of a better day for tnis country, and the complete triumph Oi the democratic party.

The Sonora mining field continues to attract the attention of mining men, and every train going south from this city carries a party and sometimes two or three, who go to look at properties with a view of purchasing. The active work of railroad surveyors in that section shows that the future possibil- ities of that country is becoming gen orally known.
