MORENCI, Ariz.. June 27.-The en-
tire saloon district known as New
town." situated one-half mile from
Morenci, burned to the ground at 10
o'clock last night with a loss of from
$75, 900 to 100000. The buildings were
mostly frame and only $4,000 insurance
was written in the district. Twenty
seven buildings, including saloons,
restaurants, stores and houses, were
destroyed. The fire started in a room
ing, and in less than an hour the town
was in ashes.
No deaths occurred, though there
were several narrow escapes. The water
supply was defective and inadequate
and the buildings were so close that
the fire had complete sway before water
could be had.
Paul Becker is the heaviest loser, his
loss being about $4,000. Most of the
owners of the burned property are left
without anything except the clothes
on their backs.
One Chinese attempted to commit
suicide on account of the loss of his
building, but he was removed to a
hospital and may recover.
Early this morning the town was
still smoking, but men were carrying
lumber to rebuild the saloons and
stores Saloons were opened before 8
o'clock in tunnels and under canvas
tents.

ANOTHER GIVES
LIE TO ORCHARD
EASTERLY DENIES STORY OF
CONSPIRACY
Judge Wood Limits the Defense in Its
Attempt to Show counterplot
by Mine Owners Against
Federation
BY Associated Press.

BOISE, Idaho, June 27.-A ruling
made today by Judge Wood while Ed
Boyce, for years the leader of the West
ern Federation of Miners and now a
wealthy mine owner of the Occur
d'Alenes, was testifying in behalf of
William D. Haywood may materially
limit the showing of the defense as to
the existence of the counter conspiracy
against Haywood and his associates.
James III. Hawley, for the state, OBJ
jected to a general question as to the
policy and practice of mine owners
throughout the west in blacklisting
union miners, and in the argument
that followed Clarence Darrow, for the
defense, claimed the same latitude in
proving counter conspiracy that the
state enjoyed in showing its conspiracy.
Mr. Hawley contended that the stats
had directly shown the existence of a
conspiracy by Harry Orchard and by
so doing had laid the foundation for
and made the connection of all the
evidence subsequently offered on the
subject. He said that the defense was
trying to show counter conspiracy in
proving various isolated instances and
certain general conditions, none of
which were connected with the case
and for none of which a proper foun-
dation had been laid.
In ruling the court accepted in part
the contention of the prosecution and
limited the proof of the defense along
this line to events in Colorado and
the Coeur d'Alenes connected with the
case now established.
Boyce Testifies
Ed Boyce was the principal witness
of the day and his testimony was
chiefly devoted to history and work of
the Western Federation. He denied the
existence of timer circle or that there
had ever been a conspiracy to ''do an
Illegal act" The chief Importance of
Boyces examination was the produc-
ton of speech made by him 1t the
convention of the federation held at
Salt Lake in 1898, in which he said
that every union should have rifle
club, every member rifle, so that the
federation could march $4,000 armed
men in the ranks of labor. Mr.. Boyce
would not agree with the accuracy of
the quotation, but said that the senti-
ment was correct and declared with
spirit that when he spoke the words
imputed to him he had in mind the
misconduct of state troops in Colorado,
the use of troops elsewhere against the
federation and the constitutional right
of all citizens to bear arms, which was
as much the right of the miner as the
aristocrat.
William Easterly, one of the most
important witnesses in the case, was
called Just before adjournment and his
testimony will be continued tomorrow.
He occupied the witness chair long
enough, however, to directly deny the
statements of Orchard charging him
with criminal conduct in Colorado. He
denied that he had ever discussed the
Vindicator or any other plot with Or
chard, or that he had helped Orchard
on the experiments of the device that
blew up the Vindicator mine, and de-
MED that he and Orchard had discussed
the Vindicator matter or any subject
with Meyer and Haywood at federation
headquarters in Denver.

he would not take the stand.
Judge Lawlor will pass upon the mo-
tions tomorrow afternoon, it is under
stood. If the court decides in favor of
Delmas' contention that no witnesses
were sworn in connection with the find
ing of the Sanderson indictment against
Glass, this will be made the basis for
a general attack upon many of the
other indictments, the defense contend
ing that all of the witnesses who gave
testimony were sworn generally and
not particularly and specifically in the
matter of any one charge; therefore
that no testimony was legally given
upon which to find one after another
of the various indictments.
