 It was after being out 21 hours that the jury, which at first had been divided s to 1, and then seemed dead locked at 10 to ?, finally came to an agreement shortly after the first streaks of the coming day were show ing gray above the giant hills. The weary, snow-bearded old bailiff who had kept an all-nigAt vigil beside the door of the jury room was startled into action by an imperative knock from within. Events moved rapidly after this, and when the principal ac- tors in the trial had been gathered into the court room at few moments before 8 o'clock the white envelope handed by the foreman to the judge was torn open and the verdict read.

 Views of the Jurors.
 Inquiry among the jurors after their dismissal revealed some of the ele- ments entering into their decision. Samuel D. Gilman, the last man to be won over to the defense, declared that a majority of the men seemed con- vinced that the general tone of the courts instructions indicated the de- fendant should be freed. Finally, Nc Bean, who had voted consistently for acquittal from the first, declared that the judges instructions seemed to settle all doubt as to the course h. should take.
 Juror James Robertson, the good notured Scotchman, at whose homa here in Boise, Governor Steunenbers boarded for more than two years said:
 T could not reconcile myself to voting any other way than with the defense from the very first, and think that under the law and the evi- dence there was nothing else for us to do. The last fellow who held out against acquittal belongs to the sama

treasurer and acknowledged leader of the Western Federation of Miners had been freely predicted since yes terday, when Judge Fremont Wood read his charge, which was regarded as strongly favoring the defense in it's interpretation of the laws of conspir- acy, circumstantial evidence and the corroboration of an accomplice who confesses.
 It was also freely predicted that in the event of Haywood's acquittal the state would abandon the prosecution of his associates, Charles H. Mover, president of the federation, and George A. Pettibone of Denver. State ments from counsel and from Gover- nor Gooding issued today dispel these views of the situation.

Trade that is worth having is worth asking for. and the merchant who sits down and waits for business to come to him without making any eff fort for it will have a lone time to wait. This is no age for slug gards in the business world. The man who succeeds nowa- days must be up and doing early in the morning. or he will find out when it is too late that success does not come without hard work and plenty of it.
