duction of evidence bearing on the
Occur d'Alene trouble as having no
bearing on the case against Haywood.
Judge Wood admitted the testi-
mony, saying, THE court can easily
see it might be important"
This appears to settle the question
as to the extent to which Orchards
testimony will be admitted.
Orchard proceeded in narrative
form to tell the story of the blowing
up of the concentrator at Wardner in
April, 1893, where two men were
iected to the evidence.
Haywood kept his eyes steadily
fixed on Orchard, who gazed equally
as steadily at the front of the room.

chard did not look at Haywood.

one of the fuses that blew up the con-
centrator mill at Wardner.

Gator, but left there on strike in Au-
gust, 1908.

the money for the things he had al

ID. c, Scott, of the railroad company,

He did this because he wanted

the injunction proceedings which the

Orchard Closely Guarded
In order To prevent any injury 10
the witness a number of guards con.
stantly surround Orchard, and the
movements Of every man IN his VI
cinity are watched.
So afraid were the officials in
charge Of the man that some one
might attempt TO do him injury that
he has been spirited TO and from the
court room today by a back stairs,
and rushed away in carriage There
seems 10 be some ground for their
caution, as threats have been made
repeatedly against Orchard
