GAMBLER FROM FINANCIER

complaint of the western farmer
against the form of gambling in some
of your organizations Specializing in
the necessaries of life is a serious
thing, and when by, for instance, bet
ting on wheat, if the price of wheat is
lowered the farmer is hurt, and if the
price is advanced, the man who buys
the flour is hurt
Fine Distinction.
You seem to distinguish between
gambling and speculation in a way
which amuses the western farmer. A
man who bets upon the turn of a card
you call a gambler. and the man who
Mr.. Bryan said he was glad of an
opportunity to commend the action of
President Roosevelt in the direction of
railroad regulation.
1T does not make any difference that
the president and 1 do not belong to
the same political party" he said. II
am very glad that he has seen fit to
take advantage of q plank that we put
in our platform. 1t was made for use.
and I am glad someone was able to use
1t and to that end to assert that any
one may use 1t who can.
What the farmer contends is that
the railroads are overvalued and that
they are forced TO pay taxes on that
generalization. / ask that YOU unite
with the farmer to give him just rates
and to free him from extortionate
rates"

''Pettibone asked me how Bradley was"
continued Orchard. Il told him Bradley
was still alive when I left San Fran

lose his eyesight and probably be deaf
for the rest Of his life. Pettibone said
that was better than if I had killed him

FEWER HOURS, LESS MONEY
Strike of Miners in the Black Hills
Settled-Proposition of 0per-
ators Accepted.

Deadwood. s. D., June 6.-The strike of
miners which has practically tied up busl-
ness in the Black Hills for over five
months. was settled last night at a meet
ing of the Terry Peak Miners union This
strike was called on January 1, on the
refusal of the mine operators to grant the
eight-hour day to their employees.
The proposition made by the operators
that the miners consent to a reduction of
twenty-five cents day for a period of
five months was accepted by the union
and the agreement was signed today. The
reduction in pay means $50 per day for
miners and S2.75 for shovelerS and helpers.
The other unions in the hills have sig
nified their intention of taking the same
action as the Terry Peak and operations
in the mines will begin Monday. About
700 men will be employed. The mines af
fected by the settlement are the Regal

years prior to the campaign of 1896; l

are other questions before the people

entertained at luncheon, Mr.. Bryan
said:

There has been a great deal of mis-
understanding between the farmers and
those engaged in trads and transporta-
ton. We must get together. The

and the farmer knows it. There is no
feeling of dislike on their part of those

Toronto. Ont, June 6.-Alfred HorsIey,
alias Harry Orchard. a cheese maker in
a factory north of Brighton, left this
part of the country about 1896. His name
is that to which Orchard confesses and
though the frequently published Boise
picture is not a good likeness of Hors-
ley. there is no doubt here as &c his iden-
tity.
Horsley was born of respectable par
ents who kept garden farm about two
miles from Wooler. a small place some
eighty miles out of this city.
After working on the farm in his young
er days. Horsley became a cheese maker
at Wooler. going afterward to Brighton

been good. but ne is said TO have left
the factory after the occurrence of a
suspicious fire. There was some invests-
cation of the incident, but nothing was
proved against Horsiey.

trap and the meeting in the evening
gloom the victim walked unconsciously
to his doom Through IL all he WINGED but
once and that was when the defense
made him name his six sisters and his
one brother and give their residences in
Ontario and New York.
State Got in Its Story.
The defense fought the story with a
multiplicity OF objections and succeeded
in heading off an attempt TO tell the
story of the murder of Arthur Collins at
Telluride and temporarily shutting out the
contents of a telegram received and
telegram sent by Orchard after his ar
rest. But for the rest the state managed
TO get in its story intact.
The state today began its confederation
of Orchards crimson tale by producing
the lead casing Of the Peabody bomb.
Orchard identified it, swore that ne
brought it from Canon City to Denver and
then on TO Wallace. where he gave it
to a man named Cunningham 1t was
thrown into the river and the state prom
ises to later prove its recovery.
Haywood and his kinsfolk listened quiz
city TO the long recital and about their
first show of feeling was one Of amuse-
ment when Attorney Richardson began
his onslaught and brought out Orchards
domestic crimes.
Many Women Spectators.
There were the same precautions and
the same armed guards today to protect
Orchard and the same courtroom scenes
except that among the spectators the
women to men were two to one. There
was another rush for admittance and the
doors of the court had to be closed at
both sessions.
Orchard finished his direct examination
at 2:35 o'clock and the cross-examination
had only rea ched down to the Coerv
d'AIene days of 1899 when the court rose.
The cross-examination will be continued
at 9 O'Clock tomorrow.

THE RAILROAD ACT.

The much talked of railroad bill
for Nevada has become law.
Both houses of the legislature
have passed upon it by almost a
unanimous vote and the governor
has signed the measure. Just what
it provides for we are unable to
state at present as we have not
seen copy of the bill as it passed.
One feature, however, is the crea-
ton of a railroad commission; we
note this from the fact that the
Attorney General is besieged with
applications for appointment on
this commission. The new law
also fixes q maximum rate for
passenger and freight traffic at a
much lower figure than heretofore
charged by the railroad companies,
and if this provision can be carried
out it will be good thing. The
charges for freight transportation
at present are out of all reason
simply a holdup by the companies,
and such rates are retarding bust
ness greatly at the present time.
There are only a few people in
Nevada who are not disposed to
give the railroad companies a fair
deal; those few are of the anarch-
istic stripe. But what the people
want is for the companies to be as
open and liberal with them as they
are disposed to be with the COM
panies.
There is no doubt that the rail
roads have, and can help Nevada
greatly, but it is unreasonable for
them to demand such freight rates
as will pay for the building of a
new road every year.
The new law may work we'll,
and it may not. 1t is big piece
of legislation to tackle for those
who are not more conversant with
railroad matters than the average
Nevada legislator. 1t is to be
hoped that the new law will give
Nevadans the desired relief and
also work no hardships on the
railroad companies, but it will take
a year or two of trial to see how it
works out.
