His trial on a charge of numbering

an intermission caused by his illness.
The opening of court was delayed I'M
til IL o'clock in order to allow Judge
Fremont Wood to attend to some i'm

in attendance an opportunity to re-
turn from their homes.
The state has had fifteen months to
collect evidence.
Detective Mcfarland, the mine own
ers' sleuth, has given his whole time to
this case.
The end of the coming week will
bring forth the crux Of the states case.
Two or three days are to be used for
the usual preliminary proof. Then Or
chard is to be brought from the peni-
tentiary to tell his tale of murder and
repentance. When he shows in court
there will be a crowd on hand and the
lawyers will be ready for a technical
debate on the admissibility of his tes-
timony. Whether the defense objects
or not to lifting the gates and review
ing all the strike history of the mining
regions, 1t is a practical certainty that
Judge Wood will follow the Chidsgo
anarchist cases and let in everything
that has transpired in the Coeur
d'Alene and Colorado for the last fif-
teen years.
The defense is ready to meet the sit

Encounters Old Pressmen.

Breckenridge, Colo.-County Judge
J. w. Swisher was the victim OF vic
ious assault in his chamber by
Thomas B. Thompson. distributor for
the Rocky Mountain Fuel Company.
who used the official seal OF the court
to beat the Judge over the head. He
struck him repeatedly with the wea-
pom, and Judge Swisher, besides Sc
we're bruises, has a cash over the left
temple that bled so profusely as to
cover the floor with blood.
After disabling the judge Thompson
locked horns with white haired Col
onel ]. r. Oliver, who many years ago
was a pressman in Denver when the
papers came out on hand presses. In
those days Oliver was called the
strongest man in the territory and was
nicknamed Sampson" Thompson is
very burly and active man in the
prime of life, but he was glad to have
someone hold him after Oliver seized
him.
Thompson rushed to the police Judge
and pleaded guilty to assault and bat
terry, possibly thinking to get OF cas-
lily, but was fined 800 and costs. He
paid the fine and then wanted to ap-
peal the case, but was told there was
no appeal when the defendant volun-
tairly pleaded guilty to a charge made
by himself. He then sworc out a war
rant for Judge Swisher, Colonel Oliver
Sam Swisher and A. L. Wood, who was
not present at the fracas, charging
them with insulting him. Owing to
the absence of District Judge Hogan
the police judge ordered the case set
for hearing June 10th.
A warrant has been sworn out by
Judge Swishcr charging Thompson
with assaulting him with a deadly
weapon and Thompson has been
placed under a bond of $500 for his
appearance.
The disturbance arose over column
article in the Breckenridge Bulletin,
owned by Swisher, which excoriated
the local coal dealers, who are T. B.
Thompson and C. A. Finding. Finding
is the man who for weeks lodged H.
G. Clay whose wife he was charged
with leading astray. He had Denver
detectives protecting him, as CLAW was
supposed to be hunting him with
gun.
For many weeks the coal trust here
has had no coal to supply customers,
even at the exorbitant rate of Sc rs
and 81 ton. Coal was formerly $3.50
a ton here in car lots, and the Bulletin
has written up the trust every chance
it has had for its predatory methods
of business.
