FARMERS
CHANCE
Home and Fortune
Combined

In the newly opened country of
1.-THE Big Horn Basin in Wyoming,
f5ust available this season for the
first time. We are offering the
farmer who is seeking an oppor-
tunity of his lifetime the great
chance of the year to secure an ir-
rigated farm at one-third the price
the same farm will bring In less
than FIVE years. We have some
thing like one hundred of these
places Gao to $50 acres), the very
best In that locality. Level,
smooth and a deep, rich soil.
Water never falling. These farms
will produce enough in two sea-
sons (drouth, ETC., of no conse-
quence) and increase in value un-
till their selling price, II one
wanted to sell, will be something
wonderful. Just the locality for
wheat, oats, rye, alfalfa, potatoes,
melons, sugar beets. fruit and
vegetables. Right in the coal
fields, as well as abundance OF
wood for fuel. We offer both
decided and Carey lands. Decided
farms, S35 per acre, with per-
petual water; Carey lands, $3.50
per acre, also including water
right. There is no question about
the statement that 1t is the oppor-
tunity OF a lifetime to buy cheap
and make a fortune. We run excur-
sions over the Burlington route
every two weeks, the next three
being as follows: May FL, June 4
and Is, and that road makes the
exceedingly low rate of $40 for
the round trip from Omaha; S25
from Chicago. Send for book and
circulars, and get ready to go up
and see and be convinced.

fendant, whom Britton is prosecuting.
Jordan was to have been tried to-
day at Hanson s school house, eight

Britton decided to drive out together.
A mile and a half from the school
house four masked men issued from

New York -Vicksburg National Park
Commission, and also secretary of
that body, is expected here soon to
select an exact site for the placing
of the New York memorial. The EN-
pire State had only four commands

the sum of $12,5OO for the building
of her memorial Another interesting
item is in letter from Gen Stephen
D. Lee to Capt. Rigby, that in all
probability he has secured bronze
statue, equestrian in style, of Gen.
Pemberton, which figure is to be pre-
sented by the son of Gen. Pemberton.
Gov. Swanson, of Virginia, is to come
here to dedicate the Botetout battery
bronze tablet at some early date.

Postmaster in Trouble.

Rev. Isaac A. DeLoaeh colored, who
has been the postmaster at Burdette
for sixteen years or more has been
checked up short by postofice inspec-
tors to the amount of $1,000. De-
Loach has long been a leader in the
church and in the education of the
colOred race in this section and has
held the confidence Of all. He is away
from home most of the time preaching
and working for the Greenville Col
lege, and he says that the shortage
is due to the carelessness or work
of those who have been in charge Of
the Office during his absence. DeLoach
paid up the shortage, and on the
charge of being short was bound over
to the federal grand jury in bond
of $3.50, which he readily gave. Those
who know DeLoach best do not be-.
lieve that he wilfully misappropriated
the governments s funds.

Biloxi Tragedy.

Capt. John Walker shot and killed
his wife and then killed himself.
Capt. Walker was an officer in the
United States navy with Perry on his
memorable trip to Japan, was cap
tain in the Confederate navy, with
command of the Mississippi and Loui-
siana coast feet, and at the time of
his death was president of the Bank
of Biloxi.
He was one of the best known men
in this section Of the South. The ira
gedy occurred during dispute be-
tween husband and wife.
The servants in the house say that
the aged couple, both of whom we're
over 70 quarrelled during luncheon.
Five minutes elapsed between the
shooting of his wife and Capt. Walk
er's suicide.
During this interval he wrote note
requesting that J. II. Walker, his
son in New Orleans be notified. Mrs.
Walker was a second wife. The po-
lice have begun an investigation.

ORCHARD TELLS
STORY OF CRIMES
TAKES STAND AND TESTIFIES
AGAINST HAYWOOD.
MANY ATROCIOUS DEEDS
Murdered Eighteen Men and Com
mitted Many Social Crimes-Acts
Committed at Inspiration and for
Pay of Western Federation of
Miners.

Boise, Idaho-Alfred Horseley,
alias Harry Orchard, the actual as
sassin Of Frank Steunenberg, went on
the stand a witness against William
d. Haywood, and made public confes-
sion of a long chain of brutal, revolt
ing crimes done, he said, at the in
spiration and for the pay of the
leaders of the Western Federation
of Miners.
The promise by the special prose-
cutors for the State that they would,
by later proof and connection, legit.
innate his testimony, opened the way
like a flood gate to the whole diaboli-
cal story, and throughout the entire
day Orchard went on from crime
recital to crime recital, each succeed
ing one seemingly more revolving
than those that came before.
Orchard confessed that as mem.
Der Of the mob that wrecked the
Bunker Hill and Sullivan Mill in the
Occur d'Alene he lighted one of the
fuses that carried fire to the giant
explosives; confessed that he set the
death trap in the Vindicator mine at
Cripple Creek that blew out the lives
of Superintendent Mccormick and
Foreman Beck; confessed that be-
cause he had not been paid for his
first attempt at violence in the Vim.
dicator mine he had been treach-
erous to his associates by warning
the managers of the Florence and
Cripple Creek Railway that there
was a plot to blow up their trains !;
confessed that he cruelty fired three
charges of buckshot into the body of
Detective Lite Gregory, of Denver,
killing him instantly; confessed that
for days he stalked Governor Pea
body about Denver, waiting a chance
to kill him; confessed that be and
Steve Adams discharged the mine un-
der the depot at Independence that
killed fourteen men, and confessed
failing an attempt to poison Fred
Bradley, of San Francisco, he blew
him and his house up with bomb,
and he has more brutal crimes to
tell that will bring his bloody career
down to its end at Caldwell, where,
with a great bomb, he killed Cover
nor Steunenberg.
The story was told to a tense
nerved, rigid crowd that watched
with staring eyes for every move and
word Of the confessing witness; a
crowd that was sickened and weary
of its disgusting details. Orchard
retained control of himself almost
from the moment he took the stand
and if he suffered much he did not
