the verdict to-day was the case oil
Harry Orchard, the self-confessed
murderer of Governor Steunenbers
and the witness upon whom the state
relied to prove its claim of conspiracy
against the Western Federation OF
Miners. When told at the state
penitentiary that Haywood had been
acquitted, Orchard said:
well, have done my duty. |
have told the truth | could do no
more. | am ready to take any
punishment that may be meted out
to me for my crime, and the sooner
it comes the better"
1t was after being out for 81
hours, that the Jury which at first
had been divided eight to four and
then seemed deadlocked at ten to
two, finally came to an agreement
shortly after the first faint streaks
OF the coming day showed gray
above the giant hills which wall
Boise to the north and east. The
weary, snow-bearded old bailiff who
had kept an all night vigil before
the door Of the jury room, was
startled into action by an imperative
knock from within Events moved
rapidly enough after this, and when
at last the principal actors in the
trial had been gathered into the
court room at few moments before
= o'clock the white envelope handed
by the foreman to the judge was
torn open and the verdict read.
1t came as an electric thrill to
the prisoner, to his counsel, to the
attorneys for the state and to the
small group Of heavy-eyed news
paper men and court officials who
had been summoned from beds hut
lately sought, from offices where
sleepless waiting had marked the
night.
Tears swelled to the eyes OF the
man who during the mighty days
OF his trial had sat with stolid in
difference written upon his every
feature-at last the icy armor he
had thrown about himself with the
first day of jury selection had been
pierced and whatever of pent-up
feeling had been contained within
was loosened. Haywood's attorneys
fairly lifted him from his seat and
Judge Wood made no effort to re-
strain them as they surrounded him
to shake his hands and shout aloud
their congra tulations.

CONCERT A SUCCESS
NOTED ENGLISH OPERATIC
SINGER DELIGHTS LARGE
AUDIENCE.

| The music lovers of this city were
afforded treat last Wednesday
evening, when Miss Nellie litter,
one Of England's popular sopranos,
gave delightful concert at the
opera house. She was assisted by
Misses Euphemia Campbell, Miss
NJ bel Baker, Miss Mary Campbell,
and Messrs. G. Fl. Beasley, S. l..
Hodges and Hiram Bristol, with
Miss Genevieve Beasley and William
litter as accompanies. Senator
Henry M. Rae was on the program
in duet with Miss litter from,
The Country Girl" as we'll as for a
solo, but he was unable to return to
the city in time, and this added to
the burdens. of the visitor, who was
quite equal to it, however. The pro-
gram was also re-arranged, and Miss
litter gave as her first selection the
famous Jewel Song" from Faust
Her Interpretation of the difficult
solo was faultless, and for an encore
she gave Coming Thro' the Rye"
'A''' - oPiAtNiShSSo tlldl WON dill.
Filling the gap on the program, she
next gave "On the PIER one of
the prime favorites in the London
concert halls, and pleased the
audience SO much that for an encore
she gave another light selection,
bringing in strong comedy ele-
ment.
She was at her best in Scenes
1 hat Are Brightest" and in respond
ing to recall ballad that was
equally pleasing Her final number,
The Moorish Maid" was given with
dramatic intensity. These selections,
it will be seen, showed the ver-
satility of the young artist, and she
certainly captivated the large
audience that crowded the opera
house.
In duet with Mr.. Beasley, as we'll
as in the two chorus numbers, Miss
litter was also effective, and her
concert was complete success from

All along the road are seen mag.

Hundreds of cattle were seen alone
