Nailed to ,hs Cross.

County Treasurer Downer and
County Assessor Adsmond went to
Rocky Ford last Monday to inter-
view the proprietors of the Rowe
Clothing Company. who have been
doing business in that burg since
June 18th, and were about to pack
up bag and baggage and depart for
fields green and pastures new.
About the middle of June this firm
dropped into Rocky Ford with a
stock of goods from LOveland. The
city authorities thought that it was
a fiy-by night scheme to get rid Of a
bum stock Of goods at auction. and
wanted $l5 a day license for the
privilege of doing business. The
proprietors announced that it was
their intention to engage in business
permanently, and as an evidence of
good faith deposited an affidavit to
that effect with the county clerk, in
which the observation was made that
the stock was worth $4,000. The
new firm worked the community for
a month and then prepared to pack
up and leave town.
The county officials were posted as
to what was going on, and on last
Monday the assessor and treasurer
paid an official visit to that burg.
Mr.. Adsmond acted as master of
ceremonies, walked into the store,
introduced himself and the treas
urer and announced that they had
come to make an official visit. Mr..
Adsmond looked around the store
and then casually inquired:
What is this stock Of goods worth
anyway? Well, don't know as it
makes any difference as ! have your
affidavit to the effect that it is worth
$4,000, so III just make out a
schedule for 5000 and assess you
S293 taxes for the year 1907 for the
good and welfare of Otero county.
Do you want to sign this schedule?
No? Well, don't know as it makes
any difference in this case, eyether,
so III just sign it myself. Here's
the county treasurer, and you can
pay the money over to him. I'm
through with my part of it, Good
day"
The proprietor, after being turn
ed over to the tender mercies of the
county treasurer, claimed that he
would have to have little time to
raise the money. as he did not have
the required amount in his jeans.
Il am very sorry replied the
treasurer, but this money will have
to be paid today. You see the
county always does business on
cash basis in case of this kind, and
is no respecter of persons. All,
why there is Sheriff Potter I'll
bring him over and introduce him.
He can then take charge of this dis
traint warrant and you can make any
arrangement you want to with the
sheriff. Good day."
The money was paid and the Rowe
Clothing Company will always have
the credit Of having made the first
payment of taxes for the year 1907.

dynamite cap near the 500. de-
pot platform and not knowing
what it was begun pricking the
cap with a piece of wire, when
suddenly it exploded while in his
hands, blowing off a part of the
thumh and forefnger of his left
hand and severely ipjuring his
right eye.
As soor as the train arrived ar
rived MIR. Richardon hastened on
to Crandon with the boy, where
Drs Decker and Diamond were
summoned to dress the wounds

to amputate the injured members,
but expressed the belief that the
eye can be saved.
Master Dana is bright, young
fellow and has been running com
pass for his father while cruising

associates here are very sorry to-

slmpkins Named in Indictment.

Boise, Idaho-It is the intention of
the state to introduce evidence in
support of the Orchard story and en-
deavor to further link the defendant
with the conspiracy to murder Steu-
nenberg as outlined by Orchard In his
confession. So far the evidence has
been corroborative of Orchards story
of his many crimes in major and mi
nor details. The direct connection OF
Haywood has yet to come out in evil
'dence. Certain evidence has linked
him with Adams, who, Orchard says,
was his partner in number Oh
crimes. Documentary evidence has
shown Haywood's connection with
Jack Simpkins. but as Simpkins was
a member of the executive board OF
the Western Federation of Miners, OF
which Haywood is still the secretary
and treasurer, counsel for the defense
claim that the drafts were drawn in
the regular course of the federation
and that the production of drafts from
Haywood to Simpkins has no connec-
ton with conspiracy. being in fact
on the records of the federation.
Simpkins is named in the indict-
ment with Haywood. Meyer and Petit,
bone, but he has not been arrested.
One OF the drafts in his favor was
drawn after the murder of Steunen-
berg. The state has shown by some
Witnesses that Simpkins was with |
Orchard in Caldwell prior to, but not
at the time of, the murder. The last |
draft produced in evidence and iden.
titled by the cashier of the Denver |
bank. was drawn in January, 1906. 1t
was Endorsed by Simpkins' wife, and
paid to her in Spokane. Steunenberg
was killed on December 80, 1905.
The draft in favor of Simpkins was
Drawn prior to the time Orchard made
MS confession, and about three weeks
before Haywood was arrested in Den.

Prosecution In Haywood Case viii

Boise, Idaho.--In support of its case
against William ID. Haywood, charged
with the murder of Frank Steunen

to the jury the testimony of an even
dozen witnesses tending to confirm
several details OF the story of Harry
Orchard. and at adjournment an
