More than 65 years without a
bath was the experience of Mrs.
Mrs. Nancie Neaston of this city,
who died yesterday morning from
the effects of bath she was
forced to take. She was 15 years
old. A week ago she was taken
to the Logan county Jail, where
she told the officers that she had
not been in water since childhood
and that her last bath was in the
st. Mary's river. The women at
tendants at the jail forced her to
tax a bath week ago. When she
came out Of the bath she had a
chill and a day later was taken i'll
with pneumonia. From this she
died today.

his crime on the gallows tomor-

ORCHARD REPEATS
HORRIBLE TALE

Boise, Ida, Dec. 12.-Beginning
yesterday, when he was on the
stand for four hours, and contin-
uing today, Harry Orchard again
detailed the awful story of crime
committed by him as an agent of
the Western Federation of Min
ers. While being examined by
counsel Orchard maintained the
same self-possession that marked
his appearance on the stand at the
Haywood trial. The statement he
now is making deals with Petit
bones connection with the vari-
Gus murders and assassinations
and particularly with the murder
of former Governor Steunenberg
of Idaho, with completely in which
the defendant Pettibone stands
charged.
Under the guidance of James
II. Hawley, chief counsel for the
prosecution, Orchard told of the
blowing up of the Bunker Hill
and Sullivan mines in the Coeur
d'Alenes, the killing of Charles
Mccormack and Mel Beck in the
Vindicator mine in the Cripple
Creek district of Colorado; the
murder of Lyte Gregory in Den
YER; the blowing up of the Inde-
pendence depot and the attempts
made on the life of Governor Pea
body of Colorado.
In the main the testimony given
was that given at the Haywood
trial, but the questions were to
show Pettibone's allegiance. An
entirely new feature of the testi-
mony was the statement by Orch
ard that Pettibone had told him
in 1904 that he purchased 100 ri
fies from hardware company in
Denver and shipped them to the
Coeur d'Alenes for use in the ri
OTIS of 1905. The witness said Pet
tibone told him he had $500 of
Western Federation money for
the rifles. A portion of the testi-
mony which the state regards as
important was the statement that
Pettibone visited Orchards house
at Cripple Creek and showed him
how to use the "Pettibone dope. !"
1t is claimed by the prosecution
that corroborative evidence will
be introduced on these points.

IMPROVEMENTS AT RIFLE.

The little town of Rife has made
such wonderful strides along the
line OF progress the past few years
that some who have not visited
the place recently would scarcely
recognize it should they be drop
ped down there some day. The
new sanitarium built by DR.. Dy-
menberg is IA modern affair with
hot water heating plant just in
stalled.
Several new residences of very
creditable finish and proportions
also greet the eye, the most no
ticeable being the modern brick
structure Just completed by w.
II. Haley. This is a building
which would be credit to any
town, and Mr. Haley as well as
the citizens of Rife shouId be
proud. Not only is it connected
with the water and sewage sys-
tens which the town has recently

One of the best boosters for

etor of the New Winchester and
Clark S hotels, Since Mr.. Clark s
return from California nearly
year ago. he has expended nearly
$4,000 ON his hotel property, con
Meeting with the sewers and wa
ter system and is now installing a
hot water heating system which
will make comfortable the whole
house and sample rooms and an
adjoining store building now used
as harness shop. Mr.. Clark al
ready has his own private gas
lighting system by means of
which the entire property is beau
tifully lighted with acetylene gas,
which makes a white, soft and al
together satisfactory light.
