Boise, Idaho-As expected, the sec

and no jury has been secured to try
Haywood. The court has adjourned
and Sheriff Shad Hodgin has three
days to summon sixty-one more tales
men. One of the twelve examined
was qualified. against protest by
Clarence Darrow, and he will probably
be excused by peremptory challenge
when the jury box is full again. This

to disqualify him. and during the cross

After the eleven men in the box were
excused from court counsel for the de-

which the two venires had been drawn
and pointed out that farmers, mer.

and that working men, either union OF

Kidnapped Girl Returns.

New York.-Restored to her father
after seven months of wandering. Anna
Einsig, beautiful girl of l 6 years, told
remarkable story of captivity and
cruelty by gypsies. She was recovered
after the police had raided camp Of
gypsies at Wakefield on complaint Of
the girls father. William e. Einsig, Of
Eastchester, Pennsylvania.
Two weeks ago the girl escaped from
band of gypsies near Williams bridge
and went to the home of Samuel NJ
Spear in Boston road. Mr.. Spear anG
his wife had seen the girl at the camp
and when she appealed to them they
took her in. From her they learned
the details OF her remarkable expert
ence.
Last October l was taken by the
gypsies from Columbia, Pennsylvania

"chey loaded me with finery and prom

nothing to wear and was watched all
the time. Even at night, when l would
try to steal away. l would find some
one of them watching me. Finally

down to gypsy life.
Last fall the band reached Williams
bridge and leased a plat of ground on

He and his wife saw the girl. who is
Strikingly pretty and were attracted
by her blonde beauty. They knew she
was not a gypsy. but all efforts they
made to talk to her about herself were
frustrated.
When the girl got away two weeks
ago Mr.. Speer kept her in secret at the
house until the gypsies left. Then he
telegraphed her father, who arrived
last night. Mr.. Einsig went to Wake
field by mistake and caused police
raid on band of gipsies there. After
he learned of his mistake he went tc
Mr.. Spears home, where father and
daughter were reunited.

want to Sell State Lands.

Cortez, Colo.-The board of direct
ors of the Montezuma valley irrigation
district have inaugurated campaign
to induce the State Board of Land
Commissioners to sell all state lands
living within the district.
In all. the state has some 5000 acres,
some of it the finest land in the state,
and it is the belief of the board
that the state should sell this land and
allow it to bear part of the burden in
building the big water system in the
valley. A petition asking for the sale
of the land is now being circulated and
will probably be presented to the board
the first week in June by Secretary w.
F. Mowry of the district board.
Work on the big water system of the
Montezuma valley irrigation district is
is now in full blast. sub-contractor w.
H. Crawford having force of some
$50 men at work, with more teams and
men coming in every day. The first
work being done is the building of the
Narraguinep reservoir in the north
part of the valley. Next week large
force will be placed on the Ground Hog
and by the first week in July the work
will be strung throughout the entire
valley

Land Cases Create interest.

Denver-A contest over desert land
commenced in the United States land
office, promises to be OF far-reaching
Importance in that it may affect the
titles to thousands of acres of arid
land in the West, the question to be
determined being whether prairie
lands can be taken up under the des-
ert act.
James NJ. AGREE, farmer living
near Keene in Weld county, brought
the contest against Mrs Mamie NJ.
Jackson. He claims that the tract of
800 acres In dispute is not properly
desert land. as he has cultivated crops
on it for two years. He claims he did
so to test the value of the soil to see
If it was worth filing on. He sent in
his application three days after Mrs.
Jackson had sent in her papers.
The case is unique because of the
fact that for the last two years there
has been an unusual amount of rain
fall in Colorado, and large area has
been put under cultivation which has
heretofore been considered impossible
without irrigation. The question will
probably be referred to Washington
for final decision.

GENERAL BELL MAY BE CALLED
Dispatch From Boise Says He Will 3,
Witness.

Boise. Idaho.-General Sherman
Bell will be given opportunity to testify
ut the Haywood trial. He will not be
called by the state but his name will
be included among the list of witnesses
for the defense.
This peculiar turn of affairs-a con
dition where the man most cordially
hated for his activities against the of
ficials of the organization now on trial
is to be summoned to their aid-arisef
not from any of the late utterances Of
General Bell. The defense long age
decided to call him and the reason fol
it was explained to me by Clarence
barrow today.
1--WE have always regarded Bell as
our enemy" said barrow. HE has
fought the federation in season and
out of season and has dealt some right
lusty blows. But we never had tc
guess as to his position. AS he says
himself, he has always been in the
open with his face turned toward us.
"On each of my trips 10 Colorado J
made every effort to see Bell. l hae
been given a good line on the charac
ter of man he is and | earnestly desired
an interview with him. l don't know
how much he knows, but a man who
has filled the position he occupied fol
two years must necessarily be in pos
session of facts which are material to
this case.
I'VE have no means of compelling
General Bell to attend the trial, but
we are perfectly content to put the
proposition up to him and trust to his
sense of fair play and square dealing
There is no doubt in my mind but thai
he will be here when wanted
at is a significant fact that the state.
which has scooped the entire West
for witnesses, fails to include the name
of Bell in its list, although there is nc
man in the western country who has
had better opportunity to view at first
hand the many events and incidents
which will be brought into the trial"

his signature n year ago in which he
declared for an armed demonstration
If the Colorado men were executed
have heard many references TO this
threat. and there is no doubt that it
has aroused bad feeling here.
The unfortunate part of it is that
whatever is said or done by socialists
that in any way bears relation to
this case is turned against the man
who is on trial for his life
Following the arrest of Carl H. Dun
can yesterday number OF stories of
the widest character were put in cir
culation. He was represented as an
other hired assassin engaged by the
miners union to put an end to Or
chard, sort of destroyer to destroy
the destroyer.
One of the detectives of the private
agency which figures prominently in
the case solemnly assured me that
they had the goods on him." that he
was sent there by one of the Western
Federation unions"
There is no question that Duncan is
n crank of the dangerous type, and 1t
Is the part of wisdom to hold him in
custody. He will be arraigncd Friday
on charge of carrying concealed
weapons and burglars tools.
Chief Francis has refused to get into
panic over the fears expressed by the
private detectives, and while he recog-
nizs the danger of permitting his pris-
oner to run at large, he is acting with
good sense and moderation.

with the two remaining bullets.
The powder set the dying girls
clothing afire. and as she rolled on
the floor in her last agony, she set the
building afire.
The girls alteration is said to have
been caused by a love affair which

lease and was her bondsman.
The parents were asleep when the
girl arose and secured revolver,

"You must die" shrieked the
maniac daughter as she leveled her
weapon at the fleeing man, ana nred
two shots at close range. Both bull
lets missed their aim, and the father
ran screaming into the darkness with
out. The girl turned, stepped into the
room where her slain mother lay and
deliberately turned her revolver to
ward her body and fired the re-
naming two bullets into her side.
The shots set her nightrobe afire
and in moment the entire garment
was blazing. Life still remained in
her and the agony of the blaze caused
the dying girl to arise and run madly
around the room. Every where she
went she set something ablaze. Al
last, as the room became entirely en-
veloped in flames, she sank again tc
the blazing floor and died. Her
charred body was found less than two
feet from the burned remains of hei
murdered mother when the fremen
extinguished the flames.

Skiff Field, son of the late poet, has
married Mis- Anna Hid of the LaSalle
Theater Company. and that she is now
on her way to Boston to break the

During the severe weather in Janu
airy the young queen of Spain ordered
that the number of rations given to
the poor at her expense be doubled.
At the beginning of the winter she
gave orders for 1000 rations a day, SO
that now from her own private income
she is paying for 1000 rations daily.
Judged by the American standard the
queen of Spain does not belong to the
class of the extremely rich. There are
at least so American women between
the age of 20 and 80 who have private
incomes greater than that enjoyed by
her majesty.

James Fitzgerald, judge Of the su-

sided at the Thaw trial, was born in
Ireland in 1857. An intimate friend
says of him: His keynote is force.
There is force in his straight stare,
his firm-set jaw and even in the in
sistent bristle OF his clipped mustache.
And yet his gentleness-tha certain
adjunct OF all true justice-has more
than once moved the admiration Of
the spectators of the late nerve-wreck-
ing drama, and the women of the trial
had reason many times to be thank
full for his native courtesy.

Executed.

CITY of Mexico.-Full confirmation of
the suicide of four prominent Guate-
malans and the imprisonment and SEN
fencing to death of nineteen men sus-
pected of completely in the attempted
murder of President Cabrera early this
month, has been received.
According to private telegram the
four men who gave up their lives be-
cause of the incident were DR.. Julio
V. Blanco, DIR. Joenge A. Villa, DR..
Echeverria and Baltasar Rodil, a civil
engineer. All of the men were wealthy
and belonged to the first families OF
the republic. They had not hereto

footing, now on the Guatemalan from
tier. Distributed at strategic points to
the south of this capital are 5000 ad-

ported to the border on twenty-four
hours notice.
While there is disposition in Off

sides that should Guatemala's presi-

intervene.
A. P. Hawley, an American business
man who has just returned from trip

1.-TWO days after the alleged attempt
1t was known in Cenetral America that
the whole business was badly-garbled
plan framed up by Cabrera himself in
an inspired moment to arouse the SYM
pathy of the country and of the neigh

got was a thinly-veneered note of re-
greet and sympathy from the various
countries. which are, as matter of
course. obliged to accept the statement
of the government.

the explosion of few harmless pow
der caps was prearranged affair.
Cabrera had another motive. Nine
teen men were arrested, charged with
the crime, and afr fastening the
charge on them he is going to show
his magnanimity to all the world by
pardoning each and every one of them.
