Deny Orchards Story.
witnesses have sworn that Orchard
was not at Wardner on the day the
Bunker Hill and Sullivan Concentra-
tor was blown up; that the facts con-
nected with the vindicator mine tend
to the conclusion that the explosion
was accidental; that while Orchard

pendence depot was destroyed. Steve
Adams was in fact the man who was
employed by the mineowners to blow

kins had personal motives for killing
former Gov. Steunenberg, and that
Simpkin's motive was the stronger of
the two, in that he was subjected to
unjust punishment and torture at the

Steunenberg in 1899
