Houston, Va, June 26.--At the
opening Of court today in the trial
of former Judge Loving for killing
young Estes, the defendant looked
careworn as the result of the severe
strain underwent yesterday when he
took the stand in his own behalf
and heard his daughter repeat the
story of her carriage ride in COM
pany with young Estes. Seated with
the defendant were his son T. G..
Loving, Jr., and brother, Major j.
T. Loving, Of Pulaski. John P,
Swanson and Henry Swanson, OF
Danville, brothers Of Governor Swan
son, had seats on the prosecution
side. Mrs. j. P. Swanson is a sister
of Estes and her husband is taking
an active part in the defense of the
memory of the man.
Sheriff Beard, of Amherst county,
who has known Judge Loving for
years, testified as to the defendants
being an excessive drlnker and that
he suffered from delirium trements
from time to time. The witness
stated that the dissipation of Judge
Loving had completely changed his
disposition and that before he start
ed to drinking he was pleasant and
agreeable though in later years he
had become unreasonable and dis
agreeable. Sheriff Beard stated that
he knew that Judge Loving was con-
tlnuously drunk for four years while
in Amherst county. Mr.. Bouldin-
attempted to bring from the witness
the statement that Judge Loving had
always been a high tempered man
and had no liberation for those who
opposed him. The witness answered
evasively.

Palnyiew, Texas, June 26--Every
Flainview home has been thrown
open to the editors and their fami-
lies who are here attending the con-
yention of the Northwest Texas
Press association and every Plain
view citizen is considering himself
committee of one or more to provide
for the comfort and entertainment
Of the city's' guests 1t was With
some difficulty this morning that
the delegates got themselves away
from just visiting with the people OF
this hustling south plains metropolis
and got down to the business OF the
convention.
The special train yesterday COM
ing over the south plains road from
Ams"illo took leisurely run across
the green prairie and reached Plain
view about o'clock by that Time
all the scribes and their families ON
the train had become well acqualnt-
ed with each other and had received
careful instructions from Mr.. and
Mrs. shafer as to how to act when
in Plainyiew.
At the station the train was met
~ large and enthusiastic crowd
and all the visitors were Immediately
taken in charge by the Plainview
people. The association held a short
session yesterday in the skating
rink, which has been handsomely
decorated for the occasion, and de-
cided to put off the addresses till
this afternoon. The regular officers
of the association are unable to be
present and as acting officers the
meeting elected w. A. Johnson of
the Hall County Herald, president
and Edgar Proctor, of the Boyd
County index, secretary. A member

the Hale County Herald, and Nix,
Of the Vernon Hornet, was named
yesterday and a number Of new APP
plications including that OF S. A.
Brewster, managing editor OF the
Daily Panhandle, have been favor
ably acted upon.
A rain which demonstrated the
resources Of the Plainvlew country,
was one of the features last night
which interferred with some other
features on the program. DR.. and
Mrs. Wayland assisted by the COM
mittees, rendered a reception at their
handsome new home, to all the Wis
itors and although the attendance
was somewhat smaller than it would
have otherwise been, all present en-
joyed the evening.
Today the regular program is be-
ing taken up with discussions Of
topics pertaining to newspapers and
their making, Tonight the associa,
tion will be given banquet and to-
morrow all the visitors will be taken
on an auto ride over Plainview and
its vicinity. Es.

A PLEA f0R
ONE SYSTEM
To the Citizens and Voters Of the
City of Amarillo.


We have one or two statements
to make and then we are done.
In the first place the city council
differed in their views as to the two
telephone propositions. This is nat
ural with men who are looking to
do what is for the best interest of
the city and it is right that each
should have his opinion
Relative to the changes made in
the franchises will say that neither
of the franchises are as originally
presented. In fact the Davenport
franchise was changed and interim
ed to such an extent that it was nee
essary to have it rewritten by the
city attorney before it was present.
able.
We believe that the present com
pany will do what they say and
bond themselves to do
If they should not we can at any
time give someone else franchise
but If we grant a second franchise
without giving the first a chance we
put two systems on the community
without any chance of getting rid
Of either.
We knew and considered the fact
that nothing could be done to force
a company already established, to
abandon their plant so long as they
cared to remain and we believe in
giving them a chance to put in "a
good system rather than get two
permanently saddled on the city.
As far as service and rates are con-
cerned the two franchises are exactly
alike and we Cln see nothing to gain
by having two systems even If they
both were good
The real issue to be decided by
the voters tomorrow, as we see it,
is shall we have two telephone sys-
TENS. with double lines of poles on
the streets and additional expense
and annoyance, or one guaranteed
by a bond to be flrst-class in every
respect.

A possible step toward settlement

including Small, with the view Of
opening negotiations with the West

that the committee will be clothed
with authority to arrange basis of
settlement. The OPERATORS declare
that the companies are seriously
crippled and must ultimately yield to
their demands for a 20 per cent in

orally that the strike Is likely to

GOVERNOR
Orchard Told Denver Woman
He Would Get Even With

Associated Press.

Associated Press.
Boise, Idaho, June 26,-The first
witness for the defense, yesterday,
was Mrs. Mary j. King, an elderly
refined woman, who formerly con-
Quoted a boarding house in Cripple
Creek. She said she had several
sons who are miners but are not
now and never were Numbers of
the union. K c. Sterling, chief OF
the detectives for the Mine Owners
association Of Colorado, lived at her
house in Cripple Creek during the
strike at that camp.
She saw orchard visit his room
seven or more times, usually in the
evening. Sterling engaged and paid
for a room occupied by Mrs Nc
Kinney, the wife Of the man charged
with pulling spikes on the Florence
G. Cripple Creek railroad, the at
tempted wreck which -tiio defense
claims the railroad officials and the
mine owners undertook themselves
with the intent OF placing the blame
on the Western Federation OF Min
ers. Mrs. King said she saw Orchard
several times knock on Mrs. Nc
Knneys door.
The cross examination consisted
Of but few questions tending closely
to fix the dates of Sterling's stay at
Mrs. Kings house.
G. w. Adler, of Leadville, Colo,
formerly telegrapher in the employ
Of the Florence & Cripple Creek rail
road told of seeing Orchard, X. C.
Sterling and d. c. Scott detective
Of the railway company together in
Scotts room in Cripple Creek. He
saw orchard there twice before the
attempt at train wrecking. Adler's
recollection was somewhat hazy as
to dates and the time of day but said
he was sure about It's being Orchard,
Mrs. Alice Fitzhugh, who succeed
ed Mrs. King as proprietress Of the
Star rooming house said that Detec-
tive Sterling continued to live in her
house for some time after she took
charge. She saw Orchard go to
Sterling's rooms at least dozen
times. She also saw Mckinney, the
man accused of the spike pulling, in
sterlings room following his release
from Jail
The Haywood trial was resumed
today with Lottie Day, of Denver,
on the stand
Mrs. Day said that she met Or
chard just prior to the convention
of the Western Federation of Miners
in 1904. once, while she was talking
to Orchard, Haywood and a man
named Nixon, who also connected
with the Federation came in Or
chard introduced Haywood and then
went away with him.
Mrs. Day says she was first sum-
moned to Boise by the state but was
sent back OF Denver two weeks ago.
The witness related conversation
with Orchard when the latter told
her that poverty separated him from
the one woman he loved, that Steun-
enberg was responsible for his being
poor and he would get even with
him if 1t was the last act of his
life.
Mrs Day said that she does not
know Orchard under any other name
than Dempsy. She did not see Or
chard on the witness stand and rec
ognized him as Dempsey by photo
graph. When Haywood came to
Belmont the day she was talking
with Orchard, Mrs. Day declared
Haywood said he wished to see Or
chard The two men then went in
to Dempsey's room. The witness
says she often saw Dempsey and
.Pettibone together but Pettibone
never came to Dempsey's room so
far as she knew.
