The first time he met Pettibone was
in Denver in 1900. He met Easterlv in
1901, in Cripple Greek. Neither of
them talked with him about Orchard
Orchard was first introduced to him
by delegates to the convention in Den
Yer in January, 1904. In March of
that year they went to Cripple Creek
on the train wrecking cases. He met
Orchard daily and became we'll ac-
quainted with him.
March 30 he arranged to take Or
chard with him to Ouray as he needed
him as a guard. During the trip they
discussed Orchards life history. H.
was sure Orchard did not make any
threats against Steunenberg, but he
told him of having to leave the coun-
try, which cost him a fortune.
After being arrested he didn't see
Orchard again until in June, 1905. He
knew Orchard was suspected of the
Independence depot explosion, but he
told him he had left before the explo-
sion, and he believed him innocent.
Meyer then read a cipher telegram
from Simpkins, January 4. after the
Steunenberg tragedy which read, Can

saw or heard from Simpkins after
wards.

Supplies for Quail.

After a couple of days in camp ar ranging for tbe forwarding of supplies, Fred Cassidy departed Monday morning on his return to the mouth of Quail creek, where he and H. Shorty Olson have built dam and expect to take out considerable gold during the open season yet remaining.
 The dam was built to keep the Trou- blesome water from spreading over the extensive bar at the mouth of Quail. It answers its purpose admirably, but the high water in Troublesome has backed up so as to obstruct the outlet for tail ings and has thus interfered with sluicing. Mir. Cassidy has rocked some on the bar and averaged $l.30 an hour. With even one month of uninterrupted sluicing he believes nice stake can be taken out.
