BOISE. IDAHO, June 12.-Thc de-
8tion OF Harry Orchard down to thcl
actual crime charged against William
d. Haywood-the murder OF former
Governor Frank steunenberg. The
steunen borg crime wa IS cached at mid
day. and counsel fsrst the defense dt-'
rected their effort tI1 an attempt to
cloud the early purposes and move
mentsfof Orchard with uncertainty and
indehnitenoss. Then they emphasized
the abandonment of all effort to kill
after Orchard first tracked Steunen-
berg to a hotel in Boise, and with. a
skeleton key had gained entrance to
the room in which the Governor was
living. Here they delayed for mos
ment to prove that Orchard twice
wrote and once tclephoned to Bill
;Easterly, at Silver City. to urge him
to come and join in the crime, and the
direct Implication was that Orchard
was endeavoring to inveigle another
Federation man into the crime, which
would bring discrcdit and dishonor to
the organization.
To Ikldnnp for RANSOM.
Then the witness was carried over
his long Journey into North Idaho, and
his crimes there including a plot to
kidnap and hold for ransom Paulson's
child, were emphasized. Orchard swore
that David Coates, formerly Lieuten-
ant-Governor of Colorado, and late @
publisher in Wallace Idaho, first sug-
gested the kidnapping to Pattibone and
himself at Denver, Paulson, once
poor miner, had made fortune in the
Hercules mine, In which Orchard held
an interest when the property was not
paying. and it was believed that II his
children We're stolen he would come
through with $4,000 or $4,000 in
ransom"
Got Simpkins.
Orchard said that when he went to
North Idaho he got Jack Simpkins to
enter the plot, and together they wen t
to Coates to renew the scheme.
E4 Coates was asked to stand up, and
Orchard said lie was tho man. Orchard
was then asked whether he had not
himself proposed the crime to Coates,
who Immediately rebuffed him. and
whether Jack Simpkins had not warm
ed Paulson the minute he heard Of
the plot. Orchard denied both sugges-
tions: and reiterating his first story.
he insisted that Coates had consented
to stay In the plot and handle the
money they hoped to get from Paul
son.

JOHN RUssITT KILLED BY CARS.


Early yesterday morning it was
stated that the body of a man had
been found by the railroad track be-
tween here and Lake Preston but it
vas unidentified. The way freight
stopped and made a more ex-
tended examination. A postal card
with the name John Russitt was found
in his pocket and brought here by
the conductor. The body was taken
to Lake Preston and later brought
here by the section men.
How the accident happened does
not seem TO be known and perhaps
it may never be known. He was seen
in Lake Preston in the evening and
intended to come home at 1904 but
did not get onto hat train. 1t is
supposed he missed this train and
started to walk home on the track.
An extra must have come along and
run him down. The body was quite
badly cut and mangled and no doubt
death was instantaneous or came soon.
The coroner came and made an ex-
animation of the body but it was
thought no inquest was necessary.
A wife and FIVE small children are
left to mourn his untimely taking

BANCROFT BUSINESS CHANGE.

The general merchandise stock, to-
gether with the buildings and good
will of the business of G. o. Dill &
Sons was sold Monday to Holland
Bros. & Co., the new firm taking pos
session on that day.
In the shuttle the Dills acquire the
Holland farm north of town and the
farm will be operated by Byron Dill
who has moved his family to the farm.
The dwelling here occupied by Byron
will be the home of G. o. Dill and
family while the house of the latter
was included in the sale and will be
occupied by the Holland family.
G. 0. Dill, the senior member of the
retiring firm, is the pioneer merchant
of Bancroft, says the Bancroft Regis
ter, having engaged in business there
at the time the town was placed ON
the map. While his friends regret
his withdrawal from the mercantile
business, they are pleased that this
pioneer family will remain residents
of this community.
Hollond Bros. q Co., the new firm,
are well and favorably known resi-
dents of this vicinity. G. W. Holland
will be remembered as the popular
clerk with the firm of Agnew Il Hab-
erman. They have had experience in
the mercantile business and they pro-
pose to give Bancroft the best gener.
al store in the history of the town.
