AbscOnded
With Cash
Oily TOngued Tailor leaves
Behind Some Mourn
ers in This Town

M. Hirsch, the merchant tailor,
who formerly conducted a busi-
ness on Main street, made his
departure the other day without
giving any one notice of the
same. This would not be so bad
in itself, for we are certainly
pleased to be rid of such cattle;
but at the time of the departure
of said Hirsch, he was owing
numerous and sundry bills to
many of our business men,
which he had never paid and
as evidenced by his leaving,
never intends to. A good por-
ton of the bills left by the alb
sconder were borrowed money.
He came here without a cent,
and through the good graces of
the business men was enabled to
build up quite a business. He
gathered up what profits there
were and hied himself to parts
unknown.
An attachment suit was sued
out in the justice court by Henry
Lee. and a number of suits which
he had left in his establishment
were attached by the sheriff. A.
A. Carman intervened, claiming
that the goods left were given
him by Hirsch as security, anc
also that he (Carman) had ad.
vanced the C. o. D, charges or
them at Caliente. A jury com.
posed of E. A. Hodges, J. G.
Brown, VIM. Nichols, George W.
Royer, L. F. Peer and d. c.
Mahedy were summoned by tht
sheriff to try this issue of fact
The jury failed to agree in tn,
matter, being evenly divided al
to how the question should b,
decided and were excused. Tn,
sheriff has not yet decided jus
what steps he will take in tn,
matter.
These absconders are becoming
very numerous here lately, ant
it would be well for our business
men and citizens to exercise some
caution before dealing with such
people, for it can only result il
their loss in the end. Another
thing which is bad, that such oc
currences make it hard for hon
est men to receive needed assist
ance by reason of the experiences
with the scoundrel.

guished visitors. We have learn
ed that their visit was of necess-
ity a hurried one, just having
enough time at their disposal to
ride over the new line and make
an inspection of the same. So
pressed were they for time that
they could not make an inspec-
ton of town before returning, it
being necessary for them to get
back to Caliente Immediately.
We hope to have these gentle
men make another visit and that
they may have more time at
their disposal. also that we may
be apprised before hand of their
coming.

One of our prominent county
officers was surprised the other
morning on opening his Office to
find a note announcing that his
assistant had been troubled with
a severe attack of insomnia the
night before and therefore was
unable to report for duty. Sub
sequent developments proved,
however, that the attack was
only temporary, and a cure was
effected in a few hours.

holding the contract for the
route between Caliente and

Road to Depot
Is Repaired

We are pleased to note that
action has been taken in the
matter of cleaning the road lead
Ing to the depot. In our last
issue we made mention of the
fact that said road was in a de-
plorable condition, but since that
time Road Inspector Peaslee has
had men at work, and the road
is in good condition so far as
rocks are concerned.
There is under consideration
the advisability of constructing
a boulevard at least twenty feet
in width from town to the depot.
This could be done with but little
expense, and one of the finest
driveways in this sectionsrnade.
something which would be a
credit to the town and a comfort
to all those having to use it,
which, of course, would be the
majority. The construction of
this driveway is a capital idea,
and should never be lost sight of.

Hon. James kirtley Says State

Absolutely False.

After an editorial was written and

with, and efforts 10 afford the people
relief from the iniquitous forest re-
serve. In this letter he makes his

paper that he told Mr.. Pinchot not

Kirtley are equally well acquainted
with Mr.. Abbott and will have no
hesltancy In making up their minds
where the falsehood lies.
In a roundabout way we were In.
formed that man connected With
the forest reserve was responsible for
the story stating that Mr.. kirtiey
wrote Mr.. Pinchot not TO come 10

OF clearing his own skirts and the

poker game, and one OF them. Pat
rick McHale, bartender. swore that
be sat In the game. BY various
means, by showing that McHale In 4
gambler, the prosecution endeavored
to break down this testimony. but
both witnesses held To their stories.
J. II. Ramey. who formerly operat.
ed stage lines In north Idaho. testi-
lied that Orchard came to him May
,, 1893. and offered to sell him his
interest in the Hercules mine fer
si00. Orchard has testified that he
finally sold his interest In the mine
In 1897. Frank Hough, who said he
was sent To the ''bullpen" In north
Idaho In 1889 for reasons that he
never knew, described conditions in
that military prison and told how
negro soldiers required Jack Simp-
kins to stand for six hours in the bot
sun OF July day, refused him water,
and kept him up by menacing him
with their bayonets.
Another cruelty witness was VIII
liam Amole, once watchman on the
Portland mine, which acceded To the
demands OF the stikers at Cripple
Creek, and continued to work with
union men. In picturesque language
and real good humor, Amole told how
after he was tirst driven from the
district lie sneaked back To get his
furniture, only TO be rounded up by
the militia. The soldiers released
him, but as he left the Office Of the
citizens alliance he was set upon by
u party OF armed masked men. Hs
testified that they took him 81,
miles outside the town and there
cruelty whipped him with revolver
butts and u tlacksnake.
Judge Theron Stevens, now o

trict court OF Ouray, Colo, traced
the relations between the soldier

He testified that when the depor

Boise, Idaho, June 2s. The attor-
neys for William d. Haywood con.
tinue to center their efforts on the
disc rediting Of Harry Orchard. and
the establishment OF their claim that
Orchard killed Frank Steunenberg In
revenge for the loss of his interest In
the Hercules. Today they directly
attacked the Vindicator explosion
with the testimony OF witness that
made 1t appear accidental rather
than criminal.
Thomas Wood, non-un:onist,
who entered the vindicator as q tim
ber man after the strike began,
swore that the night before the ex-
plosion he placed box containing
twenty-five pounds Of giant powder
at the shaft of the eighth level. He
saw the powder the next morning
shortly after ten O'Clock, and a few
minutes later Supt. Mccormick and
Foreman Beck came to the eighth
level. They remained but n short
time and left to 20 TO the sixth level,
where they were killed. Wood swote
that when ne reached the shaft
twenty minutes later the powder was
gone, and it is reasonable inference
that Mccormick and Beck took IL
with them.
Wood testified that ne had seen a
revolver in Beck's pocket. that the
fragments OF only one revolver were
found on the sixth level. and that
the bodies Of Mccormick and Beck
were blown apart. indicating that
the explosion had occurred between
them.
william Easterly, ~ho concluded
his testimony this morning, and ID.
( c. Copley, who was called this after.
noon, both testified they heard Or.
charu say he lost his interest IN the
Hercules mine through Steunenberg
and threatened to kill him.
Witness said orchard was at Grip

or his associates In any form Of

Mrs. Lottie Day Of Denver said

and that he said he would kill Steun.
enberg for the wrong done him.
John ID. Elliott, an old soldier, swore
that Orchard told him on a train in
Idaho in the fall of 1905 that he was
in the employ Of the mineowners and
that there was plot against the fed
eraion and its leaders.
Boise, June 27.-A ruling made to.
day by Judge Wood while Ed Boyce.
for years the leader of the Western
Federation nf Miners. and now a
wealthy mineowner OF the Coeur
d'Alenes, was testifying In behalf of
William d. Haywood, may materially
limit the showing of the defense as
to the existence Of the counter-con-
spiracy against Haywood and his as.
sistants which it alleges.
Boyce said he never knew Orchard
personally; in fact, he never saw the
man until he took the witness stand.
Boyce secured his interest In the
Hercules through his wife, who held
part of the claim. lie denied Or.
chard's statement that Boyce had
given him union transfer card in
Butte. The witness said he had
never issued such card to anyone
and had no such authority.
| Boyce was followed on the stand
by James Maher of Butte, Montana,
an employing miner, who was secre.
tary-treasurer OF the Western FEEDER,
alton of Miners under the presidency
OF Boyce, from September 1896, tC
June 1901. Maher said he had lived
in Butte for twenty years and fol
four years has the Office of county
treasurer. The witness repeated
much of what Boyce had said regard
ing the object, purposes and accom-
plishments of the Western Fedora
ton of Miners since its organization.
Maher said that so long as he wa:
an officer Of the federation there hat
never existed any criminal conspirac,
nor agreement to any illegal thing
nor was any money spent for any II
legal purpose.
