HARRY ORCHARD IS
MISSING
REPORT GAINING cREDENcE THAT
MURDERER OF GOV. STEuNRN.
BERG is NOT IN BOISE PENITEN.
TENTIARY-IN COLORADO.

The report that Harry Orchard the
self.confessed murderer OF Ex-Governor
Stcunenberg, IA not in the State pcni,
tentiary at Boise. but is in Colorado
enjoying his liberty, and where II is said
he was taken by the authorities, but
for what reason is not known, Is gain
ing considerable credencc. II Is said
that several attempts have recently
been made by parties acquainted with
Orchard to ascertain his whereabouts,
from the prison authorities, but all are
met with eyastiye answers. The war
den Is even reported to have admitted
that orchard had not been in his charge
for month.
Perhaps the strongest story yet circu-
lated concerning Orchards mysterious
disappearance from the penitentiary
was the following from the Journal Of
Butte, Mont, Aug. 10;
p. d. Lambert, who was on his way
to his home at Rupert from the Ida
ho Democratic state convention, brought
the startling story that Harry Or
ehard, who il said to have confessed to
the killing OF Governor Steunenberg, IA
no longer confined in the penitentiary at
Boise, but has bee spirited away.
The authorities have refused to al
low anyone to see or interview Or.
chard from the beginning Of the hit
ter controversy, and II is said that sew
eral miners who knew him have upon
various pretexts secured admission to
the penitentiary and have failed to
find him there.
Lambert also declared that the fate
Of President Meyer and Secretary Hay
wood Of the miners union depends to
great extent upon the result Of the fall
election. He says that II Governor
Gooding is reelected the prosecution of
the men will be carried on zcaIonsy,
and it is declared by partisans Of the
anti-union movement that they will be
convicted and hanged.
