Orchard and Psychology.

Prof. Munsterberg's appearance at
the trial of Haywood in Boise City Is
not surprising to those who know
that enterprising and intrepid psy-
biologist. He could hardly afford to
neglect so brilliant an opportunity for
putting into practice some of the
latest discoveries and inventions of
his department of applied science for
the registering of emotions-the pro-
cesses of the mind, that is to say
that accompany, or, rather, are pro-
duced by, the stress of great excite
ment. Prof. Munsterberg believes
that in the analysis of the truth of
statements made, especially in court.
the discoveries of psychology can be
made great use of. In recent mag
azine article the professor declared
that psychology now affords a means
of testing even the power Of obser-
walton of witnesses, to begin with.
To establish deficiency in the capaci-
ty of telling things straight. whether
moral obliquity or intent to deceive
be involved or not, is to contribute
materially to the means of estimat-
ing the creditability of a given wit
ness. The professor illustrates by
many common instances the fallibili-
ty of the human senses and the hu-
man mind in the effort to state facts
accurately. and he looks actually
toward to the adoption by courts of
justice of scientific tests to determine
the creditability of witnesses.

BUILDINGS GO UP IN FLAMES
FIRE LADIES DID GOOD WORK
the GERMANA RESURANT
MARRY BUtDiNGS--TWO OF THE OCCUPANTS
Slightly

Fires usually occur in Caldwell in
groups of three, the one last Wednes-
day was followed by another Sunday
morning about 80 a. m. The clang,
clang, of the fire bell sounded the
alarm at the hour when people gem
orally are sleeping the soundest of any
hour of the night, many heard the
first tap of the bell, but could not
arouse themselves sufficiently to get
up and dress for several minutes.
The fire was first discovered in the
Germania restaurant, although some
who were among the first to arrive
say that from the appearance of the
adjoining building that the fire orig
mated in it and not in the restaurant.
Both Of the buildings were old-timers,
the restaurant being the one formerly
owned by Swain Beatty, but had been
moved from Main street. The build
ings were both consumed but the loss
was not heavy and were it not for
the loss sustained by Mrs. Laudebeck
the fire would have been blessing In
disguise. 1t was fortunate for the

Mrs. Carlock, and son of Mrs. d. C.
Sabin, were returning home. Mrs.
Lee and one of the boys got out on
the ferry to hold the horses. The
ferry had just left the bank and
struck the swift water when the
horses backed the wagon off the boat
The wagon box was overturned. with
Grandma Sabin under 1t. Mrs. d. C.
Sabin managed to get hold of the
wagon box, and caught the boy and
got him on top of the box Grandma
Sabin then came to the surface, and
she caught her by the arm and held
to her and to the wagon box until
they were rescued about a quarter
OF mile below, near the bridge. Mrs.
Carlock failed to get to the wagon
box after she was precipitated into
the water and was nearly drowned
when she was rescued by James Dix
on, a 15-year-old boy who was assist
ing at the ferry, and who, at the risk
of his life, plunged into the water in
an endeavor to save the victims when
the catastrophe occurred. Mrs. Car
lock was unconscious for several
hours after the occurrence, and all
of the victims were subjects for med
zeal attendance.
The team, which belonged to Mrs.
Carlock, was drowned, but the wagon
was recovered after 1t drifted down
the river about quarter of a mile,
where it lodged on a sand bar.

Boise, Idaho, July 10, 1907

Boise, Idaho, July 10, 1907.
On account of the celebration OF
the Fourth of July there was no court
on Thursday. The Friday forenoon
session was taken up by the defense
with three witnesses who testified to
the conditions existing in Colorado
mining camps during the strike dis
turbances, Owney Barnes, who lived
near the independence depot denied
Orchards story about making bomb.
Jacob Wifi, a former clerk for Pet
tibone, and in whose name letters
containing money were sent to Harry
Orchard, though he did not know any
thing about whether there was any
money In the letters he sent,
or not. All he knew of be-
ing sent was Masonic charm
and his union card. John Har-
per and son testified and before the
fathers testimony was concluded
court adjourned until O'Clock The
afternoon session only lasted about
three-quarters of an hour, for after
his examination was concluded and
one other witness had been examined
Mr.. Darrow arose and said that with
the exception of two or three witness
es, who We're not at present here and
the reading of the dispositions the de-
defense was through; the originals
had not arrived from San Francisco
and there We're mistakes In the script
of the copies, he did not think any
time would be gained by reading
them, but that an adjournment until
| Monday would really be time gained
All were agreeable to this and court
was adjourned until Monday at 10
o'clock.
All of Monday was taken up read
ing of the testimony offered by the
defense on the subject of the explo-
sion at the Fred w. Bradley home In
Washington street, San Francisco,
in 1904. These was taken by depo-
sitions. the witnesses being examin-
ed in San Franciscoiby Attorney Mil

To Incorporate.

The citizens of Middleton held a
meeting Monday night in the bank
building for the purpose of taking
steps to Incorporate the town under
village government. A committee of
three was appointed to first decide
on the lines for the Incorporation and
then to get the necessary petitioners.
The law requires that there be 200
inhabitants within the corporate lin
dts and that a majority of this num-
Der must favor the Incorporation.
It was practically decided at the
meeting to start at the center OF Sec
ton 8. which is near the center oil

The funeral of Peter Soma took
place Thursday from his residence in
Boise. By the death of Mr.. SIENNA
Boise looses one of her most ener-
getic citizens and 1t will be many
years before the vacancy caused by
his death will be filled. Peter Soma
was self-made man, coming to Idaho
in the early days, with only. energy
and economy for his capital, he has
by practicing both these qualities
amassed a fortune that is near the
million mark. He has left, what Is
better than gold, clean name, one
that his children need never apologize
for.

The Third One.

The alarm of fire yesterday about
4:3O p. m. brought out crowd on
short notice. The fire company re-
sponded with their usual promptness.
When the place of the fire was located
it was found to be near New Home.
Some children either set the salt grass
on fire or it caught from some other
source; at any rate the flames were
quickly extinguished, before any dam
age was done. This is the third OF
the series and 1t is hoped that 1t will
be the last.

Base Ball Managers Meet.

The brass collars, the gentlemen
who are supposed to furnish the gray
matter for the ball teams playing in
the state league met in the parlors
of the Saratoga hotel Thursday night.
President Gowen presided; E. X.
Hayes acted as Secretary. The fol-
lowing teams were represented
Boise by Abbott; Weiser by Moulton;
Payette by Driscoll; Emmett by
Hayes; Nampa by Robb; Mt. Home
by Goddard and Caldwell by Ham
mond. The fisrt order of business as
stated by the president was the read
ing of charges as preferred ny the
Emmett team against the Welser
team, the former claimed the game
and also asked that the Weiser team
: forfeit the 5000 stipulated in case
team fails to play on the regular
date. Moulton of Weiser offered the
following resolution:
THAT the Weiser game and the
$4,000 forfeit be not given Emmett"
Abbott of Boise moved to strike
out the game and vote on the 5000.
The amendment carried. The motion
as amended was then voted on and
carried. The matter as it now stands
is that Weiser keeps her money and
Emmett gets the game. 1t is but
fair to state that Weiser paid the
Emmett clubs expenses the Sunday
the game was forfeited.
During the time the motion was
disposed of than ever was at Popu-
list caucas. Moulton of Weiser de-
MED that the water had been turned
purposely on the diamond, he was
ably seconded in his remarks by
Driscoll of Payette. Hays of Emmett
contended that his team had been job
bed and thought that they should be
paid for It. Goddard of MI Home
was unable for some minutes to de-
termine just where he was at, but Ed
die Hammond was Johnnie on the
spot and read base ball law like a
Philadelphia lawyer, The matter was
finally disposed of, and the PROPOSE
ton that another series be arranged
for was talked over but nothing def
mite was arrived at. II was observed
that comfy lines cut no figure when
1t came to. deciding the question OF
the game and the forfeit Boise
Nampa, Emmett and Caldwell voted
as a unit while Weiser, Payette and
Mt. Home stood shoulder to shoulder
1t looked at one time like the fire COM
pany would have to be called out
to quell riot between Weiser and
Emmett but 1t all passed off.

hall, that the brick building owned
by the Pioneer Irrigation District
stood between these buildings and the
fire, otherwise there would have been
one of the most destructive fires that
ever visited Caldwell, But as AL
is well that ends WE'LL" Caldwell
was again fortunate The restaurant
building and lot are owned by the
A. X. Steunenberg estate while the
other building was owned by Froman
& Mosby and the lot by e. C. Lavering
The origin of the fire will always re-
main mystery. for if it was not of
incendiary origin it must have caught
from the stove and slumbered for sew
eral hours before breaking out. Mr..
Brown a boarder and Mrs. Laudeback
the owenr, were both injured and
came near losing their lives.
The fire laddies are to be congrat-
ulated on their promptness in getting
the fire under control after getting
the water. 1t was some minutes be-
fore the full pressure was on but
when it did come the flames were
soon subdued.

two distinct explosions, the first
smashing him down, the second
throwing him into the street. He
testified that pieces of the mosaic
work in the hall and material of
which the door mat was made was
blown into parts of his body by the
force of the explosion. At the be-
ginning of Wednesdays session the
balance of the dispositions were
read, which consumed about a half
hour, then upon the judge asking
Mr.. Darrow responded by saying call
Mr.. Meyer. There was quite a pre-
ceptable stir when the famous pris-
oner made his appearance; he en-
tered the court room with a quick,
springing step and looked as If his
confinement had greatly agreed with
him, for he had gained at least 40 or
so pounds since incarceration. One
score gained by the state was the ev-
idence of John s. Tierney, special
correspondent to the Denver News
and Times, was objected to by Mr..
Borah and though argued by Mr..
barrow that 1t should be admitted,
Judge Wood ruled that 1t was not
competent and the witness was COM
PEELED to retire. Mr.. barrow noted
an exception. 1t was Immediately
after this that Mr.. Meyer made his
appearance. His evidence covered
his connection with the Western ED
Grafton of Miners from the time he
joined in 1897 down to the present.
He denied all charges made by Or
chard in which any criminal connec-
ton was alleged, but admitted most
of the things testified to by Orchard
which were in mo wise criminal. He
said that on account of his position
as president of the orgaization 1t was
necessary for him to be absent from
headquarters most of the time, trav-
cling over the country visiting the
other smaller organizations, etc.
Stated that he was paid SIS day be-
sides his railroad fare; said he was
an Odd Fellow, had been for Is years,
was an United Workman, had be-
longed to this 5 years, and was in
good standing in both orders. He
told of the numbers of the Western
Federation at the present time, about
40, 900, and of the extent of its juris-
diction orders were in existence from
Canada to Missouri and from the Pa
ciflc coast to Michigan; said that 1t
was the custom of the order to de-
fend any of their members II they
got into trouble; said he knew Jack
Simpkins and that he was on the
Board of the organization and attend
ed to his duties in his district; said
he did not know Gov. Steunenberg,
never saw and had no personal hostil-
ity toward him, told of his troubles
In the Cripple Creek district and
many other matters that witnesses
for the defense had testified to. He
first met Harry Orchard in June 1904
at the headquarters of the Western
Federation. of Miners; said Orchard
was a delegate to mass meeting
which was called by the president of
of the Colorado State Federation of
Labor. He corroborated Orchard s
statement that Meyer asked him to
go along as body guard. Meyer
said Orchard went and that he bought
him q sawed OF shotgun to take elong

on the trip, besides the revolver Or
chard already had.
At the close of the afternoon Mr..
Meyer told Of his trip to Idaho
though he was not permitted by the
court to say how quick the
trip was made or where they
stopped on the way. This end
ed the direct examination and
adjournment was taken until to-
morrow, when the cross-examfnation
will be taken up at $40.

The Ball League.

The Caldwell ball team played an
engagement at Payette last Sunday.
The game was dandy, as the Pay
etters had taken the precaution to
strengthen their team by getting the
assistance of five of Weiser's players.
But little thing like that never dis
couraged the Caldwell boys. They
knew before they left home just what
they would have to contend with, they
played the game and lost, the score
standing 4 to In favor of the Pay
ette-Weiser team. The boys il they
felt so disposed could blame the UNI
lpire or any old thing, or even say the
Payette team was lucky, but they did
not take advantage of the chestnuts
in base ball parlance, but just said
they were defeated and let it go at
that.
Wednesday.
The Payette team, that is, the gen
uine article, played a return game in
Caldwell, but the result was quite
different from the Sunday game and
was not nearly so interesting At the
close of the game the score stood A
to 0. This game finished the games
so far as Payette and Caldwell are
concerned.
AT present writing Caldwell heads
the league for the pennant. But
Weiser has two games to play with
Mt. Home, and If 1.-THE Kids" win
both games, then Caldwell and Weis-
er Will be a tie, otherwise Caldwell
wins.
