Judge Settled Question

''There are many in Boise who in
cline to the opinion that controlling
influence with the jury was their mis-
belief of Orchard.
Judge Wood in his charge warned
the jury to view Orchards testimony
with great caution and, as a test of
the corroborating evidence, suggested
that the story told by Orchard be set
aside and the remainder of the evi.
dence viewed in that light. It was
not necessary, however, he added,
that the corrotorating evidence should
prove every point.

tonic upon the elderly lady that be-
fore night she was up and about and
happy. Next Haywood went to the lit
tie cottage where his daughters have
been stopping. Once home, HAYWOOD
said:

for their kindness to my wife, my
mother, my family and my friends"
There has been widespread sympathy
here for Mrs. Carruthers, the prison
er's mother.
Judge Settled Question
Inquiry among the jurors after their
dismissal revealed some Of the ele-
ments entering into their decision.
Samuel D. Gilman, the last man to be
won over by the defense, declared
that majority of the men seemed
convinced that the general tone of the
courts instructions indicated that
the defendant should be freed. Fin
ley Mclean. who voted consistently
for acquittal from the first, declared
that the judges instructions seemed
to settle all doubt as to the course he
should take.
Juror James Robertson, the good
natured Scotchman at whose house
here Gov. Steunenberg boarded for
more than two years. said:
II could not reconcile myself to
voting any other way than with the
defense from the very first and / think
that under the law and the evidence
there was nothing else for us to do.
The last fellow who held out against
acquittal belongs to the same frater
nal organization that do. There was
some talk Of compromise on second
degree verdict, but we would not
stand for that-it either had to be &C.
quittal or would have staid there
forever"

By an Explosion of Gas
in a Coal Mine.
AT PRICEBURG, PA.
All of the Victims We're Frightfully
Burned, the Clothing Being
Burned Off Most of Them.

Scranton, Pa.-Seven men were
killed outright and two others
seriously injured in two explosions Of
mine gas In the Johnson No. l mine,
at Prceburg, Tuesday The first ex-
plosion. which occurred about D. M,
was caused by the carelessness of a
doortender who, by leaving a door
open, allowed gas to accumulate In
the workings. One man was injured
as a result of this explosion. The Sec
ond explosion, which resulted in the
death OF seven men and the injury of
another, occurred about o'clock and
resulted from the ignition of the
deadly tredamp which accumulated
after the first explosion.
OF the eight men who were working
In the main gangway at the time of
the second explosion, seven were
killed instantly
A runner VINO was near the foot of
the shaft when the second explosion
occurred quickly gave the alarm and
rescue party hurried to the scene
OF the explosion.
All the victims were frightfully
burned, the clothing being burned off
most of them
News of the explosion spread rap
idly through the village of Priceburg,
mining hamlet just north of Scran-
ton, and hundreds of wives, children
and other relatives of those who are
employed in the mine hurried to the
breaker. So badly disfgured were
the remains of those who were killed,
that identification at the time was i'm
possible and the widest excitement
prevailed

DEATHS IN A STORM.
Two Residents of Michigan are Killed
by Lishtning-others Are Struck
and Survive.

Detroit, Mich-Specials to the
Free Press tell of severe electrical
storm which passed over the lower
peninsula of Michigan late Friday. A.
Kalamazoo Frank Stirner was strucn
by lightning while trimming a spruce
tree. One of his shoes was torn off
and he was badly burned about the
body. The shock left him clinging to
the branches of the tree bereft of
reason. Neighbors attracted by his
cries were unable to reach him or
make him understand their directions
to climb down to the ground and fire
truck was called to bring the man
down by ladder He was taken to a
hospital, where it is hoped the effects
of the shock will pass away in a few
days.
George Hawley, a farmer. was
struck by lightning and killed while
plowinS in cornfield near Kalama-
zoo and Mrs. Stephen Curtis was
struck by lightning and killed while
talking to her husband in their
kitchen at Onaway, Cheboygan coun-
ty. Mr.. Curtis was stunned, but not
seriously hurt.

BUSINESS BROADENS.
Trade Responds to the Livening InfIu-

dence Grows with the Crops.

New York.-R c. Dun & Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade says:
Weather conditions throughout the
country are reported as seasonable
for the first time in several months
and the response is immediate in all
branches of business, while crop pros.
pests have improved greatly, although
there still remains much lost ground
to be regained. With scarcely an ex-
ception the weeks news is encourag-
ing, especially from the west. Conf
dence grows with the crops, and or
ders come forward to the leading
centers for large fall and winter ship
ments of all classes of merchandise.
Most manufacturers are fully occu-
pied on old contracts and there is lit
tie prospect of much idle machinery
in the near future except on account
OF the customary midsummer repairs
and inventories.
Less new business is received by
makers of pig iron, partly because
consumers have provided for require.
ments well into the future and in
part on account of the large contracts
already placed with furnaces which
prevent any pressure to obtain orders.

That Man with the OveralIs.

When the man with the overalls
comes into your store don't turn
around and take your time to wait on
him. Don't snub the man with the
overalls in order to wait upon some
elite of your town-that is, if the over
all man came into your store first.
Your overall man usually stands by
the home town. He works in the
shops, in the stock yards, in the fac

THE STATE RESTS.
Judge Wood OverruIes a Motion to
Acqut w. D. Haywood of Murder.

Boise, Idaho.-When the state on
Friday closed its case against
William d. Haywood, charged with
the murder of Frank Steunenberg, the
defense made an unsuccessful at
tempt to have the court direct the
jury to acquit the prisoner on the
ground that the state had not proved
its charge.
Judge Woods ruling, which requires
the defense to meet with evidence the
case that the state has presented, was
made at the close of court, and it was
then arranged that Haywood's counsel
should make their opening statement
and present their first testimony on
Monday.
The prosecution introduced a few
witnesses Friday to corroborate previ-
GUS evidence and then formally rested
its case.

How often you hear one business

1t is pluck
Pluck and enthusiasm are the pow
'ers which make the winner. With

Business men who have achieved
greatness In their line are those who
possess an abundance of enthus-

A possession that is better than any
thing else to man is that determine

an enthusiastic confidence that he will
succeed.
To persevere against great odds,
and to make a victorious fight in the
face of almost impossibilities, it re-
quires pluck which is not governed by
impulse.
To cultivate pluck one must encour-
