GOOD BANKING.

The man who invented the cash
iers' check will go down into history
as the most monumental blunderer
of the age. The business men of q
town that uses them refuse to de-
posit anything but script. and the
cash is gradually accumuiating In
those banks that cash their own
checks. This was inevitable. No
good business man Is going to de-
post the cash necessary to run his
business where ne can't get 1t when
needed. AS an illustration, the cash
deposits In the Parma and Caldwell
banks have increased thousands of
dollars since the scare started, while
those of other towns have decreased.
correspondingly All the banks are
sound, but they have simply adopt
ed short sighted policy.-Parma
Herald.

done by the settlers. which would be
received as payment on their lands.
This meeting was by far the most
interesting yet held and 1t looks now
as though there would be something
done toward getting water on the
lands under this proposition. No one
is barred from working. but 1t must
be remembered that they are to take
pay In certificates Mr., Ross is en-
titled to the gratitude Of the settlers
under this project for the work he
has accomplished In getting the re-
clamation service to assist in con-
structing the canals and laterals. The

ORCHARDS TESTIMONY.

The trial of George w. Pettibone
is now fairly under way Tuesday
forenoon James H. Hawley for the
state made the opening statement
to the jury and in the afternoon
twelve witnesses took the stand for
the state and testified to matters re-
lating to the death of former Gov
ernor Steunenberg. how and when
and where he was killed and to the
facts OF Harry Orchard, then known
as Thomas Hogan, having been In
Caldwell for some time previous to
the murder and having been visited
there short time before the murder
by man who went by the name OF
Simmons. Several witnesses identi-
fed n photo of Jack l.. Simpkins a.
q likeness of the man they had seen
In Caldwell with Orchard. Hotel men
from Nampa and Silver City testified
to the presence Of Orchard and Sim
mons In those towns on certain
| dates.
1t seems probable that little time
| will be lost In this case AMI judging
from the order In which witnesses
were called In the Haywood trial it
seems likely that Harry Orchard may
be called to the stand some time to-
day.
4 Mr.. Hawley took but an hour snd
35 minutes In his address to the jury.
He outlined the case practically as
he had done In the Haywood case but
abbreviated his points in many res
Il poets. There was no attempt made
at eloquence but the address was
forceful, conversational tone being
used at all times, and 1t was notice
held the close attention of every
juror Senator Borah conducted the
examination of witnesses in the af-
ternoon and no witness was cross
examined by the defense.
!, The forenoon crowd was small but
in the afternoon the spectators part
of the court room was about three
fourths occupied. At the newspaper
table yesterday sat c. p. Connolly,
representative of Golfers magazine.
whose writings concerning the Hay
. wood trial were SO largely read and
i | commented upon. He will stay
through the Pettlbone trial as a rep
| resentative of the magazine.
IL That the Pettibone case will be
fought hard on both sides Is indf-
/ Gated by the manner In which the
1 attorneys are watching every move OF
: opposing counsel.

Last night young man named
William Russell, who recently came
here from Canada. was shot and
mortally wounded by Sam Simpson.
The tragedy occurred at Simpsons
home on the Roswell bench. where
Russell was taking supper. Young
Simpson had finished his meal. and
going into another room picked up
the shot gun which he didn't know
was loaded, and coming back to the
door, pointed the gun at Russell,
who was still seated at the table. and
telling him to look out. pulled the
trigger. The full charge struck Rus
sci in the right side of the face. lit
orally tearing II to pieces. A por-
lion of the shot glanced from Rus
sells face and enterd the hand and
arm of a brother of Simpson. who
was seated across the table, but not
wounding him seriously.
DR.. Cluen, who was summoned to
dress the wounded men. thinks there
is little hopes for Russel's recovery,
although he Is still alive. Russell is
about 81 years of age, and Simpson,
who did the shooting, about l6 or II.
There is no excuse for the tragedy
except that of a thoughtless boy who
who didn't know 1t was loaded. -

Simpkins left and went to Silver City. |
He visited the unions. He saw some
people there whom he knew and was
afraid to stay there longer.
When he first came to Boise Or
chard said he stopped at the Idanha.
After Simpkins left, in November, Or
chard said he again came to Boise
and went to the Idanha hotel. He be-
lleved he stayed here two days. On
the first time he came to Boise Or
chard said a man by the name OF
johnson pointed Steunenberg out to
him on the streets. That was the
first time he had seen Steunenberg to
know him. After the second trip
to Boise Orchard said he went to Salt
Lake to try and get a man by the
name of Shoddy to come to Idaho to
help him get Steunenberg. He could
not find Shoddy and came back. Or
chard told of several endeavors he
had made to get Bill Easterly then
at Silver City. to help him. but could
not succeed. Orchard told of his
movements in shadowing Steunen-
herg's home. He said he did not see
him until Christmas day on the street.
That night he took his shotgun, load
ed with buckshot, expecting to shoot
him when he returned home. He said
he laid in wait for him, but had
trouble in getting his gun together,
and the former governor got into the
house before he could shoot.
Orchard said that later he fixed a
clock -work arrangement and took the
bomb to Nampa, expecting to get a
chance perhaps to place it under Steu-
nenberg in a seat in the car. He
was frustrated in this attempt.
Orchard told of seeing Steunen-
berg on the night of December 80.
He said: Il saw Steunenberg In the
hotel. When / knew he was about
10 go home took the bomb and hur-
ried to his house. fixed screw-eye
in the bottle cork and placed the
bomb by the gate and covered 1t with
snow. | connected the cork in the
bottle to a picket on the gate with q
piece of fish line. knew when the
gate opened it would pull the cork
| from the bottle, let the acid flow over
the giant powder caps and explode
the bomb"
After placing the bomb Orchard
hurried back toward the hotel He
was on foot bridge about a block
and half from the hotel when he
heard the explosion. He hurried or
20 the hotel and entered the barroom
The bartender was tying up small
package and Orchard said he held hi
inger on a string while the barkeep
er tied 1t. Then he went upstairs
Taking things out of his pockets, h
said he spilled some acid on gian

and there was quite. loud explosion

dental ticket in 1908. composed of
Lewis Stuyvesant Chanler, Lieutenant
Governor of New York, for President,
and John Johnson. Governor of Min

Mr. Simmons explained that the
Democrats could not hope totsucceed
without New York, and that they ought
to strive to get ticket that could
be relied upon to carry New York.
He said that the South felt very kind
ly toward Lieutenant-Governor Chan
Ter, and that there was a manifest de-
sire among Southern Democrats to see
and hear more of the New Yorker.
What we know and have heard of
him is exceedingly creditable to him.
and interest in him as a possible pres

EXPRESS DRIVER
NOW MILLIONAIRE
Young Englishman Becomes
Heir to Large Estates in
Great Britain.
InHERITs FROM HIS UNCLE
Mr.. Wildbore and Family Expect
to Leave Richmond and
Reside Abroad.

Mr. Robert Newton Wildbore, an en-
pany, in this city, has Just received
notice of windfall that will change
him from a plain everyday working
man to man of means, worth possibly
IL million or more dollars
Mr.. Wildbore, who has been en-
ploysd as driver for the Southern
Express Company for a year or two,
Is modest young EnElishman, who
has been living with his mother and
three brothers on Cherry Street for
two or three years. His widowed
mother had some means, and the boys
were Industrious and frugal. and alto
gether they saved up enough money to
buy a modest home out on Hanover
Street, where they have lived for the
past six months. They came from Eng
land to this country some years ago,
and knew they We're, sooner or later
to become heirs to n large estate.
Dr. Frederick Wildbore, an uncle OF
Mr.. Newton Wildbore, and man of
large means. long before his death,
which occurred five years ago, made
his fill. leaving large estate, con-
ssting mainly of stocks and bonds,
to his childless widow, and after her
the express employe of this city, and
the eldest son of his brother. The
widow has recently died, and in ac-
cordance with the will the property
comes to the young man.
About u Million.
Just exactly what the estate is
worth is hard to tell, but it seems cer-
tain that 1t Is somewhere over Il mil
lion dollars, perhaps not more. AS Is
the way with all EnGltshmen the
will leaves the entire estate to the
elder male member of the family, but
all of the family now in Richmond
will share In the benefits.
Mr. Wildbore Is out of the city on his
usual summer vacation. and probably
does not know yet that the fortune
left him by his uncle is at his disposal
His mother, who lives with her sons
at No. 2317 Hanover Street. says that
the news was no surprise to her, anc
will not be to her son. They have
known all along that sooner or later
the property would come to them. Hel
son has had London lawyers looking
after his interest. and the first intl.
nation of the windfall came through
the attorneys.
She says her son has formed ne
plans as yet. and will await mail adj
vices from London before making any
but. the probability Is that the whole
family viii journey to England before
the end of the year to take possession
of the estate.
While, as before stated tho prop.
erty left Mr.. Wildbore consists largely
OF stocks and bonds. there Is a fine
English homestead and considernb',
valuable land included IN the estate
left to the lucky young Englishman.
