Leavitt should smite him on the left
'The Brotherhood of Owls stole
some of our ideas,'' he explained, ''and

BOISE, June 10.-Steve Adams, i'm
legged crimes, denounced Orchard as q
beautiful liar and declared every state
ment Orchard made where it impl1-
Gates him is false.
Adams got in early this morning in
the custody of deputy sheriffs and is
now locked up in the county Jail. He
was accompanied by his attorney, John
Wourns, who defended him on the
charge of numbering Fred Tyler, a
claim jumper at Wallace in February
WOurnS declared the state would gain
nothing by calling Adams, as his testi-
mony will hurt it's case more than
help it.
Adams was taken from the county
Jail at Rathdrum Saturday night and
to the Washington boundary line and
early Sunday the trip here was started.
1t had been reported an attempt
would be made to secure Adams re-
lease on a writ of habeaS corpus, so
the Sunday trip was decided upon.
Orchard at once resumed as soon II,
court reconvened. He looked fresh
and was in his usually we'll -groomed
condition.
Richardson resumed the cross-ex-
animation relative to his movements
in and about Independence at the time
he alleges he blew up the depot. The
first half hour developed nothing not
already made public.

Detective MCFARLAND at the peniten-
tiary yesterday for an hour and saw
him again this morning in Hawley's
office. Also he talked Sunday with
Hawley. Warden Whitney, Mills and
Ackerman regarding the testimony
and how he conducted himself on the
stand.
Orchard said he wished to correct
some testimony heretofore given. He
declared he had not made a correct
statement when he said he made tpe
Grecian fire experiments with Bill
Esterly. He said it was Bill Acker-
man. Asked if he corrected the testi-
lnony because Esterly was here to con-
tradict him and Alderman is supposed
to he in Nevada and could not be

Building Of Electric Line to Wa|IuIa
Assured.

Everything appears optimistic as re-
CARDS the proposed electric line from
Dayton to Wallula via Walla Walla,
according to a statement given out by
Miles c. Moore this afternoon.
In answer to a question from a
Statesman reporter as to the prospects
of work being begun shortly, Mr..
Moore said:
1.-The report of the engineers who
have been surveying the route has
been turned in and is highly favor
able, and other conditions seem equal
ly favorable. There is nothing defin-
ite to give out further than that tn.
preliminary preparations for the build
ing of the road are progressing satis-
factorily."
1t is understood the engineers who
have just reported on the route of
the proposed road are representatives
of an eastern bonding company which
will assist largely in financing the
construction work.

M instead of 3:15 p. m., the scheduled
time.
This is what is known as the weedy
season along the 5O-mile stretch of
road between Walla Walla and Pleas
ant View. Usually a train runs out
there and back every Sunday, carry
ing water in large tanks to the far
mers along the road and bringing back
the cars full of wheat
Yesterday, however, the rails were
so overgrown with weeds that pro-
gress was rendered nearly impossible
at times. The rails were so thickly
covered that often when the wheels
of the engine were revolving at a rate
which should carry the train 40 miles
an hour it would be standing still DO
cause the weeds, when crushed by the
engine, creased the rails.

The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1907-06-10

By the liberal use of sand the train
was slowly coaxed along to Eureka
Junction. There the strain proved too
much, and the engine slipped it's back
eccentric. This rendered it helpless,
and it was necessary for the disabled
train to lay there until an engine could
be sent from Walla Walla.
Upon the arrival of the helper the
train was again put in motion and
finally pulled in after midnight.
Owing to the opposition offered by
the mustard, however it was impos-
sible to take the usual amount OF
wheat, and a train will be sent out
tomorrow to bring in the remainder
of the shipments.
The passengers were cared for at
Eureka, where the one hotel was
taxed beyond it's capacity by the un-
expected visitation of hungry guests.

didn't know. He denied he had been
cautioned not to fix either time or

William Pinkerton of Chicago, telling
him what course to pursue and what
would be done for him after the trial.
