DEFENSE WOULD ENMESH ORCHARD
Makes the Remarkable Witness Rete the Story Of His
Many Murders, Duplicates and General Cussed-
ness---Cldm They Gan Prove Its FaIsity

Boise, Idaho, June Slowly but
surely the defense is developing lines
by which it hopes to break down the
story of Harry Orchard, SO far as It
affects Haywood, now on trial, Moyer
or Pettibone, who are as yet to be
tried on the same charge, and if pos
sible to heap further obliquy on the
witness by proving him guilty of petty
crimes. HI s,..
4zBy his own admission he is biga-
I'm thief, liar, and an incendiary.
RE has played traitor to his employ
ers. He has deserted two wives and
his children. All of these offenses he
has been forced to confess, but under
the gruelling examination by Richard
son he has stuck to his story and Civ
en- the chapter and verse. Possible
witnesses have been named and coun-
sci for defense state positively that
the pile of well sworn to testimony
they will bring to refute the charge,
must convince the most prejudiced of
its falsity Il.

BOLD MEN
During I'l |! School Hour O / Kidnapped
a Nun While She Was
Teaching
They Garry Her Screaming
and Struggling to Hack
and Drive Away
Hundreds Pursue But AbduC-
tors Get Away With the
Yong Woman

st. Paul, June S.--A special to the
Pioneer Press from Duluth, MINI.
says: s
One of the boldest crimes ever com
nitted in this city was perpetrated
yesterday when two men kidnapped
Sister Borromea of ST. Clements
Catholic school. The sister was
teaching in the primary room at the
school when, at 1870 in the afternoon
two men entered the school room,
seized her and carrying her to a
hack which they had in waiting,
thrust her in and drove away.
Her young pupils were spellbound
with terror and stood mute for some
time, hut when the sister was borne
screaming through the street, they re-
gained their senses and soon had the.
entire neighborhood aroused.
Hundreds of people gave chase to-
the rapidly driven carriage, follow
ing it until it disappeared. The POI
lice were notified and special detail
of six men put upon the case, but up
to nos5race Of the sister or
of her abductors had been found.
The abducted woman is twenty
four years of age and is daughter Of
Edward Deigle, of the st. Paul term
inal railroad yards. He is a non
Catholic and is said to have opposed
his daughters taking the veil. She
was to have taken her final vows on
July II.

FARMERS INSTITUTES
PROFESSORS SHAW, .HovERSTAD
AND ELLIOTT HOLDING MEET
ING ON MISSOURI SLOPE.

Prof. T. A. Hoverstad, of Minnesota,
is spending a day i'll the city, after
spending a couple of days in Farmers
Institute work at New Salem, assisted
by Prof. Thos. Shaw, northwestern
editor of Orange Judd Farmer, and
Prof Elliott, of Gait, Ontario.
Mr.. Hoverstad has been engaged in
this work for many years and is weu
known in North Dakota. He declares
that the delevopment of North Dakota
the western part-during the last
seven years is remarkable. And in the
New Salem region he was surprised
at the high grade of live stock being
raised. At the Institute meeting just
held there was exhibited some of the
finest registered cattle and horses to
be found anywhere.
Prof. Hoyerstad says there need be
no apprehension regarding the prob
/ lem of winter feed for stock ON the
Missouri slope. 1t is no problem what
ever. Plenty of the finest kind Of
corn fodder can be raised and also
turnips of superior quality an ex-
cellent food for stock. The farmer
who provides himself with a good silo.
which will cost no more than nay
barn, can have ensilagethe best Of
fodder all the year round.

day, from Bismarck Prof. Hoverstad
and Elliott go to Underwood, where
a Farmers Institute will be held Mon
day and Tuesday; thence to Ryder for
Wednesday and Thursday and then
on to Minot
The New Salem meeting was unde-

Associated Press to Bismarck Tribune
Washington, June s. notable
conference on the subject Of trust
prosecutions was held at the White
I House. Those who participated were
President Roosevelt, Secretary Of
State Root, Secretary Of the Treas
ury Cortelyou, Secretary of the In
terror Garfield, Attorney General
Bonaparte, Interstate Commerce Com
missioners Knapp and Lane, and
Frank B. Kellogg of Minnesota, spe-
cia1 counsel for the government The
conference began shortly after 8
o'clock. Secretary Loeb ait midnight
issued this statement: INF
The conference was held for the
purpose OF affording ample discus
sion concerning matters which have
been under investigation by the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
has not vet formulated its report
and all Of the discussion was Of a
purely relimiaary kind. esAAfter the
report has been made the attorney
general will carefully consider it.
The discussion took very wide
range Much time was given to the
Harriman-AIton deal. Every phase OF
that transaction was thoroughly gone
over and the discussion was partici-
pated in more especially by the
president, Mr.. Kellogg, Attorne, Gen.
eral Bonaparte and Commissioners
Knapp and Lane. The conclusion
was promptly reached that however
damaging the evidence might be
against Mr.. Hartman the testimony
he had given in the interstate COM
/ merce Investigation had given him
complete immunity from criminal
prosecution.
Commissioner Knapp explained that
{ he did not complete his investigation
and that therefore he was not pre-
pared to give a definite opinion as to
the suff1ciency of the evidence to
warrant the government in instituting
suit to nullify the Alton deal. AS
soon as the Interstate Commerce
Commission has completed its hear.
I ing in the case, the report will be
z made to the attorney general, who
will at that time take charge Of the
! matter and determine what, If any
action, shall be taken. 1t is not ex.
pected, therefore, that any. proceed.
angs will actually be begun for some
time I'll
The question Of prosecution Of the
bituminous coal carrying roads was
discussed at some length, but the mat
ter was finally left in the hands d
!. the attorney general for such action
as he might see At to take. No in
structions ito bring suit were giyey
him and there appears to be some
question as to whether any action

T The prosecution OF the anthracit,

Following the general conference
