None of the legal fraternity are an

out. The Judge was occupied until
3;3 in dealing with excuses, then the
jury so far passing examination, was
brought in; eleven of these have been
passed for cause, hy the prosecution,
and three by the state. At the close
of the afternoon session two men had
been examined. ListOr stated that he
had an unqualified opinion and was
excused. He had previously asked the

Chinn could not remember whether he
voted for Gooding's trial appropria-

his brother had voted for Borah for

Special to the Montana News

Boise, May l3.
Yesterday s Statesman" the Good
ing organ and the sheet that has so
mercilessly and infamously prosecuted
the Western Federation men came out
with a leader in startling head lines
announcing that a plot had been un-
covered to kill Harry Orchard. The
glory of this remarkable discovery is
laid to the Pinkertonn detectives, of
course. The blood curdling expose
states that emissaries of the Fedora
tion were found in position on the
mountains overlooking the walls of the
penitentiary intently scrutinizing with
spy glasses the enclosure. IL is said
that the intent was to learn the habits
Of guards and prisoners so as to shoot
Orchard when he was taking his out
of door practice. The wonderful scoop
then goes on to state the somewhat
sition taken was such that these agents
could shoot and kill the men with ease.
How this could be done when il would
take spy glass to see him, is one of
those mysteries whose solution lies
only with the sleuths which enlightcu
the classic files of the "Statesman
The insanity story in regard to Or.
chard is also being repeated as the
time draws near for him to appear on
the witndss stand. At two o'clock
today the trial was resumed; the court
room was filed. The iurymen sum
moned on the new call for hundred
veniremen were all present. The Judge
read the status under which he was
limited in excusing those called for
jury duty, and then said he would list
en- 10 the requests Of those who wished
TO be excused. Twenty-four men
promptly arose and crowded TO the
front. The apparent eagerness to
avoid jury duty aroused a loud laugh
in the court room. All but three Of
the men, however, making the request,
were excused.
Numerous certificates of personal
sickness and sickness in the family
were presented which were honored by
Judge Wood. Several old men asked
TO be relieved who were not able to
stand the strain Of n lengthy trial. It
is noteworthy that the Judge in ques-
tioning them, asked IL they thought
they were able TO endure confinement
Of two or three months. This gives
an idea of what the legal lights con
nected with the great trial expect.

was hoped TO get agent into the house who could
quietly open the way for force sufficient TO cope
with the counterfeiters on the premises, and then
lay in wait while the outside contederates walked
into the trap. It was with a blending OF nervous

Died Down East.

Last Friday word was received here
of the death of Michael Hacket, pro-
prietor of the Medix Run Hotel, who
accompanied by his two children and
niece were on a visit to Mr.. Hackets
old home at Chatham, N. B. His death
was caused by heart failure. Mr..
Hacket received a fall sometime ago in
which he hurt himself badly and has
been troubled from the effects ever
since, but his death was a great shock
to his friends.
His remains were brought to his old
home at Driftwood on Monday for in
terment. The funeral was held on
Wednesday. His age was 40 years.
Deceased was widower and is sur
vived by two children, girl and boy
aged seven and nine years respective
ly. Also by two brothers, John and
James Hacket, both of whom reside at
Driftwood.
