a community alphabetically poison
ed against us by newspapers and Of
ficials. We have been confined in
Jail for IA months against our pro-
test, mad denied bail while constant
ly demanding trial. Every effort
has been made to teach the farmers,
business men and working men of
the community that we are assas

after all this our case is about to
be reached and the president of the
United States, in no way interested
officially or otherwise, sends two let
tiers over the country broadcast
charging us with guilt and crime,
and these are published in every pa
per in the land and especially in
every paper in Idaho. The governor
of Colorado, day or two later, adds
his words of spite to the venom of
the president and says we are not on

many others, too. While the presi-
dent of the United States, and the
governor of Colorado are sending
out their statement to compass our
death, the judge of this county has
brought citizen before him for con-

CALDWELL BASE BALL
TEAM DEFEATS WEISER
THE SCORE WAS TWO TO ONE--WAS A GREAT GAME
ThROUGHT

The champions of Caldwell as
usual did not disappoint their admir-
ers last Sunday, when they met the
Dudes of Weiser on their own dia-
mond and sent them down the line
boys could have made the score much
larger, but the fact is, that they
loosened up the cinch in order that
the Dudes might not get discour-
aged. The Caldwell boys are loud in
their praises for the gentlemanly
treatment afforded them by the Wei
serites, and say that when the return
game is played here that they will
loan them the black cut, but will in
sist on keeping the umpire. The
following extract is from the Weiser
Signal:
The day was ideal, the grounds
were in fine shape and over one thous-
and people were there and rooted roy
ally for our home taem. Every man
on the Weiser team was in the game
and stayed there, but we lost 1t
must be acknowledged, however, that
in Caldwell we were up against the
real thing. Those Caldwell boys are
players and brought their luck with
them. Their hits came at opportune
moments. 1t was a pitchers battle
and Johnson got the best OF 1t, but
what SteltZ lacked in wing work he
made up in generalship. Weiser

On the appearance of this man in
court the judge promptly told the

this obscure farmer indicted for fell

weight will be given to his words
than those of an obscure private cit

Newport, R. l.. May 11.-Friday's
trials of the submarine torpedo boats
Octopus and Lake. under the aus
pieces of the naval trial board in Mar
ragansett bay, were for the purpose
OF determining the speed and man
agability Of the boats when submerg-
ed. Storage batteries were used as
motive power. The Octopus went
over the measured mile course six
times. The first time three runs were
to test her speed, and the average
rate OF these runs was 10000 knots
an hour. The other three runs. on
which the time was not taken, were
for the purpose Of determining the
time required to put the boat through
various maneuvers and the method
OF accomplishing the maneuvers. The
submarine then took two "porpoise"
dives In thirty feet of water, coming
to the surface for five minutes ex-
posture for observation. The time
under water for each dive was forty
seconds.
Later the Lake was taken out. but
before the tests of this boat were
fairly under way, it was found nee
essary to postpone them because Of
a leak IN her starboard torpedo tube.
This also will keep her out of the
trials tomorrow.
