HAYWOOD WALKS
FORTH A FREE MAN
Is ACQUITTED OF THE MURDER
OF FORMER GOVERNOR sTEU-
NENBERG.
WILL PROSECUTE THE OTHERS
STATE ANNOUNCES THAT CASES
OF MOVER AND PETTlBONE
WILL BE PUSHED.

Boise, Idaho, July 80. - Into the
bright sunlight of a beautiful Sabbath
morning, in the stiffness Of city
drowsy with the lazy slumbers OF a
summer Sunday, William D. Haywood,
defendant in one of the most noted
trials involving conspiracy and MUIR
der that the country has ever known,
walked yesterday free man, acquit-
ted of the murder of Former Governor
Frank Steunenberg.
The probability of verdict of ac-
quittal in the case of the secretary
| treasurer and acknowledged leader of
the Western Federation of Miners had
been
Freely Predicted
since Saturday, when Judge Fremont
Wood read his charge, which was re-
garded as strongly favoring the de-
Tense in it's Interpretation of the law
of conspiracy, circumstantial evidence
and the confederation of an accom-
plice who confesses.
1t was also freely predicted that in
! the event of Haywood's acquittal the
Estate would abandon the prosecution
of his associates, Charles H. Meyer
the president of the federation, and
George A. Pettibone of Denver. State
ments from counsel and from Gov
Gooding issued yesterday dispel this
view of the situation.
Jury at Last Agrees.
It was after being out for twenty
one hours that the jury, which first
had been divided at ten to two, finally
came to an agreement. Events moved
rapidly enough after this, and when at
last the principal actors in the trial
had been gathered into the court room
at few moments before o'clock the
white envelope handed by the foreman
to the judge was torn open and the
verdict read.
HayWOOd's attorneys were fairly lift
ed from their seats, and Judge Wood
made no effort to restrain them as
they surrounded Haywood to shout
aloud their congratulations.
First Thought of Mother.
Haywood's first thought after his re-
lease was of his aged mother, who
Saturday had suffered a complete
nervous breakdown after the jury had
retired. Haywood walked to st. Luke's
hospital and unannounced rushed into
his mothers room. So great was the
effect of the news upon the elderly
lady that last night she wa sup and
about and happy.
Next Haywood went to the little cot
tage where his wife and daughters
have been stopping. Once home. Hay
wood said: Il want to thank the
people of Boise for their kindness to
my wife, my mother, my family and
my friends"
Will Prosecute Others.
Senator Borah said
II have no comment to make other
than that twelve good men and true
men of the State of Idaho have passed
upon the case, and that disposes of it
SO far as the State of Idaho and Hay
wood are concerned. The prosecution
Of the other men indicted will be
pushed vigorously and without any
reference to the Haywood trial"
E. F. Richardson, one of Haywood's
leading counsel, said:
eve have had fair trial. We have

Lumber Famine is On.

Washington, Sept 2.-"The timber
famine Is upon the United States al.
ready, said James Wilson, secretary
of agriculture, who has just returned
from q six weeks inspection OF the
private and national forests OF the
Pacific coast.
"Lumber costs twice as much as
it did ten years ago. The price Is
steadily advancing and the supply Of
valuable timber is decreasing. The
Puget sound section is shipping daily
hundreds OF car loads OF lumber to
the east. This is used throughout
the Mississippi valley and some Of II
comes as far east as Boston. The
mines throughout the countries use
great quantities ofit.
"Vast quantities. Of timber are be-
ing wsntonly destroyed every year.
This destruction takes place on lands
which are privately owned, and is
due in large part TO the fact shat
when the big timber is cut the
branches are left to dry and become
fire trap"

ers In town who claim that they had
been swindled by mail order cloth
ing house now doing business through
the country. The scheme, as sub

John F. Henry and Others, told us.
is for the mail order man to drive
out to the farmers house accompan-
led by some man he knows and has
confidence In. After claiming 70
merchants are robbing the people,
the agent offers to sell three suits and
a dress pattern Tor $50 so, t. king o
note for that amount. Upon getting
the note, the buyer is informed that he
will have to buy the lining, which VIII
cost but little, and that he can buy
1t of she man who takes their meas
ure for the suits or any home merch-
ant. When the men camein Tuesday
to be measured they found they must
buy the lining ofthe mail order house
or,not have their goods made Up.
The cheapest lining shown them wcs
81 so per suit, little better than cal
leo, one OF the men said to US, and
the other grade ordinary ssteen, at
&c. so per suit.
To show how the greft worked We
call attention to Dennis Jennings
experience. He gave his note for
$50 so, and when his package came
Tuesday from Chicago and on the
box was marked c. o. D. $l9.50 for
lining. In other words, his three
suits and dress pattern cost him $50.
A merchant in whose store We saw
the lay out told us he was selling IN
his store three suits OF fsimilsr quality
only better made, tor $50 25, or
$6.75 each, just rs cents more than
the mail order house charged for
lining. Mr.. Henry said that he fek
like he ought to prosecute the OUTFIT
but saw no way to do It. A number
OF other farmers said ths same thing
to US. It's too bad, but the farmers
ought to learn to set the dogs On

"I suffered with catarrh Of the

it was supposed to be whooping cough

worse.
"After while 1t got so bad I had to
cough both winter and summer. Fl.

from the strain Of coughing, next .
blood vessel in my stomach, SO I kept
getting worse and doctoring, and even
then could get no relief.
"I went to dispensary for treatment,
but It all done me no good. At night
could never lie on my back. Iwould sit
up until two or three o'clock in the
morning before I could close my eyes.
Then of course, thought, and every.

"Reading the papers about Peruna
decided to try it without the least hope
thati would do me any good. But after

James s Davenport, Democrat, and
Frank Hubbard, Republican, for
seat in congress from the third dis

Both men are old timers In Indian

citizen OF the Cherokee nation and is
the only white man ever elected
speaker Of the Cherokee council, to
which body he became eligible to
membership by marriage, He has

Frank Hubbard is a Muskogee
banker. He came there when 1t was
but a struggling village and has
Witnessed and aided 1t TO grow to q
very prominent city OF the south
west. Mr.. Hubbard established the
Muskogee Phoenix, one OF the lead.
Ing Republican papers In Indian Ter
ritory. He has served as mayor ol
Muskogee and was worlds fair com
