ON ANCIENT INDICTMENT.
Aged Man Arrested for Murder Committed
Thirty Wears AGO.

Thirty Years Ago.
William G. Graham an old man
of 70 years, who was indicted in Mad
ison county, Georgia, at the March,
1877, term of the superior court for
the murder of William King, but who
made his escape from the scene Of
the crime Immediately after it's com
mission, was last Friday morning
placed under Arrest, ten miles north
west Of Gainesville, Ga, at Bolding's
mill, in the upper part of Hall coun-
ty. by Sheriff Orr, of Dawson county,
to whom the warrant was sent by the
Madison county sheriff a few days
ago
The facts of the killing are, of
course, meagre, but few of the pres
ent day remembering them. However.
it is said by former citizen OF Mad
ison county, who is now living in
Gainesville, that a difficulty arose be-
tween Graham and King, as they came
out of a stream or pond, where they
had been in swimming. 1t is said that
King came at Graham with an open
knife, when the latter Drained King
with a stick, INJECTING such serious
injuries that King died shortly there
after. 1t is also understood that Ora
ham left Madison county on the night
that the sheriff went to his house to
arrest him on warrant charging him
with murder
Graham went to Hall county, and
located near where he was arrested.
He has conducted himself properly
since he has resided there, and is held
in estem by the people OF that com
munity Graham has a wife, who is
older than himself, and she is nearly
blind The old man took his arrest
calmly.
His neighbors never suspected no
was wanted for murder, and his ar
rest caused much discussion. The
crime has been well nigh forgotten
in Madison county, owing to time
elapsed since its commission.

Washington Not Surprised.
A Washington special says: An

received with no surprise by govern
ment officials.
From the time the company came
to congress and to the executive de-
partments Of the government with re.
quests for appropriations there has
been a tendency among the govern
ment people to refuse as far as posi-
bic all concern in the jamestown ex-
position. 1t was only the last days
Of the last session of congress that the
attempt to secure a substantial appro-
prlation was successful.
That the company was in sore
straits for money was evident ten
days before the exposition was for
mally opened. A meeting Of the
board of directors Of the campany was
called, and it was decided to postpone
the opening owing to the lamentably
unfinished condition OF the buildings
and grounds This would subject the
company to law suits for damages to
concessionairies, an expense it was in
no condition to stand, even if the ex-
position had to be opened in an I'm.
prepared state
Before the announcement by the
company that it needs $35O,00O to
complete the buildings and grounds
an attempt was made to get help
from the United States government,
but the government was not be won
over to the plan, and the company
then evolved the plan Of getting out
bond issue, secured by the land on
which the exposition stands.

SCORE ARE KILLED.
Wall of Mammoth Dam Gives Way and
Twenty Mexican Workmen are

A special of Friday from Chihuahua,

and twenty of whom are dead, and

All Of the victims are Mexicans.
Meager details Of the affair reached
San Antonio, Texas, early Friday
morning, when the judicial authori-
ties and several surgeons departed
Immediately for the scene.
The disaster is only the last of a
large number which have recently
claimed nearly 200 victims in that
section, and mostly in the neighbor-
hood of Chihuahua.
The authorities are making a thor
ough Investigation into the present
catastrophe and will severely punish
those upon whom they place the
blame
According to one version of the az.
fair the men were working on a
foundation close to the foot of the
main rampant of the dam, which had
already been constructed. The main
wall was weak and gave out under the
water pressure.
The dam was being put in for irrt-
cation and stock watering purposes,
and was a large enterprise. The loss
will be heavy.

of Miners, will the current week be
placed on trial at Boise, Idaho, charg-
ed with the murder of Ex-Governor
Frank Steunenberg. In all four men
are in custody with the same Of

the Western Federation OF Miners;
George A. Pettibone, former member
Of the executive board, and Harry
Orchard a member of the miners fed

OF these men Orchard, it is alleged,
mas made a confession, in which he
admits that he killed the former gov
ernor, and in the same confession,
it is alleged, duplicates the other
men under arrest, together with 9th
ers as being accessories before the
fact.
Under the laws of the state Of
Idaho, while it is admitted that Hay
wood, Meyer and Pettibone were not
in the state OF Idaho at the time of
the murder, they are charged with
the actual murder, the contention I'M
der the statute being that they were
ON the spot in spirit, that they plan
ned, and, therefore, comprised the
death of Governor Steunenberg.
In its main and lateral branches the
complete history Of the case extends

between union and non-union miners

that narrow strip Of mountainous
country, rich in lead and silver ore,

The background to the Steunenberg
case is the momentous struggles in
the Occur D'Alines, extending as it
did over a period of seven years and
involving the calling out of the state
militia and finally the dispatch Of
United States troops by President Nc
Kinley to the scene Of conflict, cen
tering around the mining towns of
Wallace, Gemm and Wardner.
To the part that the dead governor

The assertion made by Senator La
Toilette while fighting in congress for
the passage of the railway rate bill,
that the railroads of the United States
are heavily over-capitallZed, is proved
to be absolutely true by government
statistics compiled this spring.
Forty per cent of the railroads of
the United States earned gross $751;
347,147 in February, 1907; in Febru-
ary, 1906, they earned $60,613,O77.
This was an increase of about $1,000
900 on this 40 per cent of the nations
mileage: for the 100 per cent the total
would be about $153, 900 this Feb
ruary. The increase on the 100 per
cent mileage would be about $1,000
600.
Last June n rate law was enacted,
which was fought by the railroad lob
by throughout the entire long session
of the seth congress. 1t was said at
the time that 1t would not injure the
railways; that it would not yield any
results in decreasing freight and pas
senger tolls on the public.
1t was pointed out that, by the de-
feat of the La Toilette amendments,
the total result of the new rate law
would be to prevent discrimination
| by roads in favor of one shipper
against another shipper; that, mas
much as there was no provision for
| the establishment of a true basis for
rate-making, there could be no ma
terial correction of railroad tolls which
were conceded to be extortionate by
everyone not connected with the roads
| themselves.
Senator La Toilette proved by expert
figures and by the most masterful am
alysis ever presented in or out of the
United States senate, that American
railroads are over-captalized; that
they are collecting annually from
$3.50, ,OOO,O 900 to $500. 600, 900 more than
they could collect, were honest capi-
talization insisted on.
