MOVER ON THE ST AND.
President Of Western Federation
Of Miners TestifieS.
NO ENMlTY TO STEUNENBERG

witness Declares He Was In the
Black Hills at the Time Of the
Occur d'AIene Strike and Was Not
Particularly Interested in It.
Boise, Ida, July 11.-Charles H
Meyer, president of the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners and fellow defend
ant of William D. Haywood in the in
dictment charging them with the muir
der of Frank Steunenberg, took the
stand as witness in behalf of his
comrade. He seemed quite self-pos
sessed as he walked to the stand, but
displayed some nervousness as his
examination began. Within few
minutes, however, he was going along
very steadily in recital of his con
nection with the Western Federation
of Miners During the review of the
Occur d'Alene strike Of 1899 the wit
ness said he was in sympathy with
the strikers in their struggle and he
never had any personal hostility for
Frank Steunenberg. He was working
in the Black Hills in South Dakota al
the time.
In describing his duties Meyer de
clared that they required he be alb.
sent from Denver-plotting ground OF
the: conspiracy alleged by the state
more than half of the time.
Shortly before noon the witness en-.
tered upon a lengthy examination as
TO the Cripple Creek strike of 1904.
Meyer, with the utmost deliberation
denied that he had ever discussed the
explosion at the indicator mine as
detailed by Orchard. He admitted
having met Orchard in Denver during
labor convention in January, 1904
Fairly Well Acquainted.
He had also seen him at Cripple Greek
in February, 1904, when he became
fairly we'll acquainted with him. Meyer
denied that at any time he had given
Orchard any money or had any knowl
edge Of Orchard having been given
money by any officer Of the fedora
ton. Meyer detailed his trip to Ouray
Colo., with Orchard in 1904. He said
Orchard was going there to get work
and Meyer suggested that they travel
together. This was for self-protection
because of attacks on, members of the
organization. He described their ar.
engagements for carrying revolvers
and Sawed off shotguns," which, he
said, were secured by Pettibone. Or.
chard, Meyer said, bought his own
ticket, but Meyer paid his expenses
and hotel BILL
When the trial opened Senator Bo'
rah read the cross-examination in the
deposition of w. A. Alternately, a con.
tractor and former miner in the Coeul
d'Alenes, who declared he heard Harry
Orchard say he would "get" Governor
Steunenberg some time. This was

ent, who have been deemed worthy by their right reverend bishops to be associated in honor with their more active confreres, near the throne of the Supreme Pontiff. To such an honor has your devoted pastor been called. And why this selection? It has been truly said that mans best work reveals to finer insight a mans ideals. whether he has written out in colors more lasting than printers ink, whether he has realized in solid fact of character. The very nature Of the Christian priesthood, the holy, noble end for which 1t has been in stituted. the sancity 1t calls for, and the loftiness of purpose it inspires, demand ideals, in the fulfllment of It's work, which few. if any, seem able to realize fully. But 1t is in the striving after this perfection that the priests best work Is done, his highest ideals shown. To make known the perfections of God and to lead man to fashion his life after them, to show faith, in all the vividness of a con crete. living reality, the beauty of virtue sanctifled by religion; to in- struct the young in tho ways of God. 10 encourage the weak and wavering. to uplift the fallen, to succor the needy, and to break the bread of life to Christian souls. These are the works of a truly zealous priest, the
