goes on to say that at this time when
the case is about to be reached, the
president OF the United States, In no

sends two letters broadcast over the
country, charging US with guilt and
crime These are published In every
paper in the land, and especially BY
every paper In Idaho. The Governor
OF Colorado. a day or two later, adds
his words of spite to the venom Of
the president and says that we are not
guilty OF the crime charged but of
many others too. While the president
Of the United States and the Governor
Of Colorado are sending out state-

Deputy Sheriff Curkendall
arrests alleged fOrger.

A woman's tongue and clever ruse
by Dep'y Sheriff Curkendall proved
the undoi ng of one Schuyler Williams
better known hereabouts as Tom"
Williams was wanted at Crystal
Lake. Mountcalm county. to answer
charge of forgery, and it Is alleged
he is an old offender and eX-convict.
Depy Sheriff Fuller of that place ar
rived here last Saturday looking for
his man but found he had left for
Boyne Falls. AT that place the offc-
ers located Williams in house, but
their prey escaped them, going out Of
an upstairs window, aud led his pur-
suers merry chase through the snow
clad only IN an under and outer shirt,
The trail showed where Williams feet
had started bleeding and he had torn
part or his shirt off and wrapped it
around them.
Dep'y Sh eritf Curkendall was among
those notified to be on the lookout for
Williams and passing along the street
Tuesday afternoon he encountered sew
eral ladies IN an earnest conversation
and overheard one OF them mention
breakfast and diuner." Waiting an
opportunity Mr.. Curkendall asked one
of the ladies about Tom Williams,
stating that he wanted to get word to
him. The lady, evidently not dream
ing that she was conversing with an
officer, told him that Williams was at
certain house on the West Side and
advanced the further information that
she understood the officers were after
him.
Deputy Curkendall enlisted the as
sistance Of Marshal Johnson and they
drove over to the house mentioned /,
where they found the much-wanted
man In bed. He surrendered without
any opposition, consoling himself with
the fact that he had fooled the first
bunch of Ulcers. The prisoners feet
were n bad condition from his ex-
posure, necessitating their being
dressed by surgeon.
That Deputy Sheriff Fuller Of
Mountcalm county was glad to get his
man, is putting it mildly. as he had
about given up hopes of making an
arrest.

l9OO ill the close OF the election IL
1904, will remember that the entire
political situation Of Colorado wa.
pitched between the miners and then
employers. A strike was on. and as
is usually the case, each side was using
, every possible means to win the con
test. Hot headed men on both sides
Of the controversy committed deeds Of
violence. and the Republican party
then in power in Colorado as well as
in Idaho. to which state the strike ex-
tended, openly took the side Of the
operators. making it as warm for the
strikers as it were possible to do Ia
Colorado miners who had families
we're forcibly taken in charge and ban
ished from the state. with dire threats
laid against them; il they should dare
to return to the state. These dastardly
acts were per6Ormed by the military
officers in charge Of the state. the rank
ing officer Of which de6ed the govern
or Of the state and all civil laws. As
well as all the protests Of impartial
citizens.
AS the battle waged hottest in Colo
RADIO. its effects were reverberatsa
throughout the mining sections Of Ida
no, where Governor Suenenhlne
formerly a Union man, and elected By
Union votes; took positive sides against
the strikers. In the heat Of the excite-
ment, a bomb was placed at the gate
Of the Governors home and when he
drove to the gate in his carriage and
the gate was opened. the bomb was
exploded and the Governor was Known
into eternity.
OF course many other lives were
sacrificed on the altar Of that great
struggle between capital and labor. but
BY now most Of these are forgotten
save BY the immediate families Of the
unlortunates. But the killing Of the
Governor Of Idaho called forth the
necessity Of finding some one who
could be punished for the crime. and
that some one must be high up in the
councils Of the miners organizations.

bring a number Of men innocent Of

matter.
The FIRST step was to kidnap the
officers Of the executive committee in
Colorado and spirit them to Idaho,
without warrant Of law, where they
could be held through prejudice until
evidence might be lodged against
them connecting them with the murder
Of the GovernOr.

to convict them.
On Thursday Haywood was. placed
on trial, and every effort will be made
to effect his conviction. which if secur-
ed, will be the basis for the trials Of
the other two. In case he is acquitted,
all the prosecution will be dropped.

on trial charged with the murder Of
Governor Smehenburg. over three
years ago. Though Haywood was al
