Boise. Ida., May 10.-One Of the
most horrible narratives of crime in
the history of the world is that con-
tained in the confession alleged to

Mcfarland by Harry Orchard. which
forms the basis of the prosecution Of
William Haywood and other officials
of the Western Federation of Miners.
According to his own story. Orchard
was a professional assassin, who hired
himself out by the day to slaughter
human beings. In addition to the
killing of former Governor Frank
Steunenberg, Orchard is alleged to
have admitted the commission Of
twenty-five murders in Colorado and
to have engineered the explosion of
the railroad station in Independence,
Colo, whereby seventeen miners were
killed and over twenty injured. Near

Atlnnta Games Transferred,
 But Memphis Ones Are Not.

Yesterday the last ball game was played in Montgomery until the 2nd day. of September, when Little Rock leads of at Capitol Heights with a double-header on Labor Day. Three more games--today, tomorrow and Saturday--are scheduled in Montgom- cry before the local team begin its last western trip.
 Atlanta was scheduled to play here on the three days mentioned, but on account of the dangerous" grand stand--which Is not dangerous In the least-the three games have been lanta.
 Atlanta and Memphis are running neck and neck for the pennant. and 1t is manifestly unfair and unjust to the Memphis people for the three games that should be played in Montgomery to be shifted to Atlanta. where Billy Smith will have all the advantage of the backing of his home fans. as well as being accustomed to playing on his home grounds. It is understood that an effort isy being made to play i've instead of three games. which should give Atlanta another big advantage:
 as soon see Atlanta win the pennant as Memphis, but will 1t be sportsman like to give Atlanta such an advantage over her rival? Memphis Is entitled to as much consideration as Atlanta. Both towns should have a square deal. but nothing more. There was not a quorum present at the directors meeting in Memphis Sun day, and, therefore. the transferring of these games looks Illegal, as all of the clubs had not agreed to it.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1907-08-15

A report has been spread--the At. lanta and other papers having 1t es- pecially-that the Montgomery grand stant was blown entirely down Sun day. That is big mistake, as the local grandstand is as sound as 1t ever was, only part of the roof being blown of. All three of the Nashville games were played here since the storm or the face of 1t that the structure has, Tn the middle of the week-after all but the Atlanta games have been played here-suddenly been found unsafe
 A prominent business man said yes terday that in a commercial sense the transferring of these games would De called a "hike"--that is. the move will be adyantageous temporarily, put eventually 1t will prove disastrous. and is a most foolish piece Of business judgment.
 If games are to be transferred, 1t Is only fair to Memphis that the games scheduled in Montgomery on the lztn, 18th and 14th of September be trans ferred to Memphis. -
 New Orleans is scheduled m Mont gomery on the 9th. 10th and 11th of September The game scheduled here for the 9th of September has aiready been transferred and was played Tn New Orleans several Sundays ago. A deal has been made by which another game will be transferred and the game of September 11th played on sun day in New Orleans.
