Berlin, Feb. 22.-The following incl
dent is reported from Moscow: Late
at night civil servant was vending
his way homeward. using, as he
thought, the safest streets. Suddenly
highwayman appeared before him
who demanded. with drawn dagger, his
money or his life. The victim offered
his gold watch as a ransom, which was
promptly accepted. and he was allowed
to go. only to be overtaken again by
the same thug. who demanded that they
should exchange coats his own. as he
said. being rather shabby. Objections
were clearly out Of place, and the des-
poiled one meekly obyed. The unfor-
tunate official was lucky enough to
find cab at the next street corner
and hastened home.
Upon arriving, he was agreeably sur
trised to find his own watch, the high
waymans dagger and 100 roubles in
gold in the pockets of his assailant's
overcoat. which the latter had forgot
ten to empty after making the ex-
change.

MILLER IS TO DEFEND THEM
Orchards Attorney Will Assist Defense
Federation Officials.

Boise. Feb. 22.--An interesting state
ment was made late last night respect
ing the position of Fred Miller, Of Spo-
kane in the cases that are now attract
ing so much attention here.
He appeared at Caldwell to defend
Harry Orchard without having been
sent for by the prisoner. The latter
had stated when taken into cOuE to
have a time set for his preliminary
that he had attorneys. one in Denver
and one in Spokane. and that one or
both would start at once II the news
of his arrest were published In the pa :
pers.
So the question OF who employed
Miller has always been an Interesting
one. Tonight the awkward query has
been laid so far as possible by the for
NAL announcement that Miller has now
been retained to assist In the defense
of the men from Denver.
