Why Steuuenberg Was Marked.
Mi Hawley went on TO show that he
expected to prove that the action OF
Governor Steunenberg in crushring out

the enmity OF the inner circle Of the
western Federation Of Miners and that rs
a result Of that enmity he was killed at

We will show YOU. gentlemen OF the
jury Mr.. Hawley continued that the
inner circle OF the Western Federation

a few choice spirits. Murder was their
trade and assassination n means OF liveli-
hood. They even had a scale OF wages

crimes al the bchest OF the inner circle
and who were paid ior them from the
emergency fund were one Harry Orchard
and one Steve Adams. These were hut
mere Incidents OF the larger purpose and
objects Of the big cunspirnCy. We will
show that the inner circle oi the West

for some Of the most fieudiSh crimes ever
committed anywhere-all TO carry out the

that these men were responsible for the

Position of the Defense.

Now" said Darrow To the court we
insist that the State has no right to
make proof in this trial to all of tho
alleged disorderly or unlawful acts of the
Western Federation of Miners which have
extended all over the Western country.
We are not trying any one here but w.

der OF former Governor SteunenberG.
The court said Judge Wood, can
tell whether the prosecution Will be al
lowed TO make such proof or not until
the time comes,
1t was finally agreed that the whole of
the address should be considered as eN-
cepted 10 by the defense.
Mr.. Hawley. resuming, declared That
the inner circle Of the Western Fed
GRAFTON OF Miners had traded in blood,
had hired assassins as its needs seemed
TO require and had raised by assessment
from time to time emergency funds from
personal uses and for the retention Of the
best legal talent to defend those of It's
members who were accused Of crime.

NO FIRECRACKERS.

Calling the attention to the
order of the sheriff which APP
pears in this issue, relative to
the use of fire crackers within
the limits of the town, we would
urge upon parents the absolute
necessity of their using their
utmost efforts to see that the
children do not get hold of them.
In town composed mostly of
lumber buildings, which have
stood for many years, it is an
easy matter to get a fire started
and a very difficult one to stop
It's progress, no matter how
quick or effective the fire appar-
atus may be. An example of
this occurred Thursday after
noon; some children were play
ing with fire crackers and sue
ceeded in setting fire to some
old boxes in the in rear of dwell
ing houses on McCannon street,
and but for parties seeing the
blaze when they did, and using
prompt and effective methods to
put it out, a serious confagration
might have occurred. 1t is all
very we'll to speak of the pleas
ure it might afford children, but
the risk to be run makes it no
consideration in comparison.
The sheriff is determined to
see that the order is enforced,
disliking as he does to take any
effective measures where child
rem are concerned, (for it is with
the children that any trouble
might be anticipated,) but he
feels that the rights of the prop
erty owners demand action in
instances where the parents do
not consider the situation.

ARM BROKEN

VIM. Pease of the Phoebe Club
met with very painful accident
Thursday evening, having his arm
broken just above the wrist. Mr..
Pease was standing in front of
his place of business, talking to
a number of gentlemen, when a
heavily loaded wagon, driven by
Jesse Peaslee drove up in front
of the house and stopped. AT
ter chatting for some moments
Mr.. Peaslee started to move on.
AS he gave the word for the
team to start, Mr.. Pease made a
movement to get hold of the
brake rod, as he did so he STUN
bled. His hand passed between
the spokes of the wheel, he
seized the brake rod, as the
wheel came around, a spoke
caught his wrist and broke the
bone squarely into.
DR.. Stockham was Immediately
summoned and set the injured
bone and the patient is getting
along as nicely as could be ex-
pected.

JUSTICE COURT.

Thomas Russell was arrested
Sunday on the charge of selling
or giving intoxicating liquors tC
an Indian, was brought up be-
fore Justice Garrison Monday and
arraigned, entering a plea of not
guilty to the charge. He was
brought before the state author
ties for the reason that the In
dams to whom he is alleged to
have sold the liquor are not
wards of the government, thus
giving the local authorities jur-
isdiction.
The case was taken up at 1920
Tuesday morning, Judge John
M. Breeze appearing for the de-
PENDANT and District Attorney
Horsey for the state. Several
witnesses were called in behalf
of the state. The evidence con-
Meeting the defendant with buy
ing the liquor and giving it to
the Indians was substantiated by
two seperate confessions, vol
unfairly made by the defendant,
in which he admitted giving the
Indians liquor, but pleaded ig-
norance of the law on the sub
ject. The defendant was placed
on the stand in his own behalf
and by his testimony endeavored
to show that at the time of stat
ing that he gave Indians liquor,
he was referring to Idaho, where
as he claimed, no notice was
taken Of it and stoutly denied
having given any liquor to In
dians in the State of Nevada.
After the evidence was all
submitted very able arguments
were made to the court by Judge
Breeze on part of the defendant,
followed by District Attorney
Horsey on part of the state. The
court took the case under advise
ment until Thursday morning at
10 o'clock, at which time the de-
PENDANT was bound over to await
the action of the grand jury.
