The grand jury of Trigg county
this week did the editor of the Ken
tuekian the honor to summon him to
appear before that honorable body
and testify in regard to recent VIC
ations of the law in that county.
AS the editor of the Kentuckian has
not visited Trigg county for several
months, he sent to the Common
wealth's Attorney a list of persons
who, from threats made against
them, are in a position to possess
knowledge of the acts Of the might
riders" The list embraced the fol
lowing names: w. C. White, T. w.
Gum, Jabe Bingham, Dick Mitch
ell, Jesse Vinson, Chas H. Faulkner,
Jack Davis, r. K. Goodwin, F. NJ.
Cameron, M. A. Pilkinton, Pleas
Pilkinton, Lee Thomasson, Arnold
Thomasson, Hawkins Bros, l.. A.
Miller, Burnett Humphreys and Jno.
Froman. Many Of these gentlemen
doubtless know who some Of the
might riders" were, who waited
upon them, claiming to be operating
in the interest of the association. ."
If they do not, the officers Of the as
ISOLATION might throw some light on
who would be likely to represent or
misrepresent them. The county of
ficers might help some by assuring
witnesses that they would be pro-
tected, or by offering a reward for
the conviction of the parties who are
threatening to burn barns, blow up
railroads and destroy life. The
reward should be made large
enough to induce the terror
stricken witnesses to give up in
formation. When the first to-
bacco bed was scraped in Christian
county last spring, the Tobacco Asso-
citation of this county, made up Of
the best citizens in the county,
promptly denounced the outrage
and offered a reward of 5000 for the
apprehension of the guilty party.
They did not deal in meaningless
platitudes, but took a firm stand
that put an end to lawlessness of
that kind in Christian county. We
recommend that the Tobacco Asso-
citation of Trigg county adopt this
course, to assist its grand jury and
to rebuke its local newspaper.

The bill! recently introduced in
Congress to increase postage on
newspapers was very properly pig
eon-holed. The press of the country
can unmake as we'll as make poll
ticians and it should deal promptly
and effectively with those hostile to
the interests Of newspapers. The
country can get along better without
cheap politicians than it can without
an enlightened press.

BAR STREET PREACHING
Boise Authorities Taking no Chances of Trouble During Mover, Hay
 wood Trial.
MILITIA AND REGULARS CLOSE AT HAND
Sc Far There Has Seen No Indication of Possible Disorder But the City Is Filling Up With Strangers and Trouble May Occur at Any Time. Many Reporters Present.

Boise, Idaho, May S.--As a precau- tionary measure, street speaking or preaching will be stopped in Boise during the trials of William D. Hay wood and the other leaders of West ern Federation of miners for the al legged murder of Frank Steunenberg. It is feared that freedom of speech in the street may lead to local agitation for or against the prisoners and possi- ble disorders and Mayor Haines has decided that it will be better to issue and enforce strict order covering the matters TSe city continues entirely quiet and there is not the slightest in dication of possible disorder. The oc CT than any concerted or suddenly aroused general movement Police and detectives watch the railroad and highways entering the city and it Is the general belief that they will be able at all times to fully control the situation. Behind them Is an expert enced militia and two troops of United States cavalry quartered at a permanent post within the city limits but there is not the slightest appre- hension that their services will be re- quired, nor has the military been in- structed to hold themselves in readi- ness. In fact, the governor the mayor and the people of Boise decline to be- lieve that under any circumstances, the peace will be broken.
 Judge Fremont Wood has given no indication to either side as to what his decision may be in the matter of the bill of particulars asked for by the defense and argued Monday. Should this motion be granted there will un- doubtedly be considerably delay ia opening the case, as the defense would ask for postponement until they can secure other witnesses. In the course of his argument Monday Clarence Darrow, counsel for the de- fense, intimated that delay would be asked for should the motion be gr ed. Lawyers not connected with the case are of the opinion that the motion for the bill will not be granted, however.

FRISCO CARS ARE |D[E
But the Company is Preparing to Resume Operations With Non
 union Men.
SITUATION so FAR HAS BEEN PEACEFUL
But State and City Authorities Have
 Made Preparations to Meet Event ualities-Electrical Workers Not
 Yet Decided on Supporting Tele- phone Girls-May Close Saloons.

San Francisco, May 7.-No cars were run on the lines of the United Railroads Monday but it is now said that Tuesday attempts will be made to resume operations. The company has now a number of men quartered at it's barns in different sections of the city and some of them have ar ranged for the protection of the men as we'll as for their accommodations Provisions of all kinds have been stored in these strongholds ana appli- ances for cooking meals for the men have been provided From the prep arations already made it is evident that the company intends to run cars at first on the main streets covered by the system and that no attempt will be made to operate the minor lines.
 In an effort to bring about a peace full settlement of the strike a com mittee of the civic league called upon urged him to submit the differences between the company and the union to arbitration. The reply received was that the cars would soon be run ming again and the committee was urged to see that no opposition was offered to their peaceful operation.
 Notices have been posted in all the car barns of the company that all employees will be expected to report for duty on Tuesday morning or con slider themselves discharged
 The situation so far has been very peaceful and there are no indications of impending trouble. At the same time every preparation Is being made by the state and civic authorities to prevent any breach of the peace.
 After an exciting meeting lasting four hours the electrical workers union, linemen. No. 151, Sunday failed tion to strike fin sympathy with the telephone girls. A compromise was effected whereby definite action was postponed until the executive com mittee shall have conferred with the officials of the telephone company, when the company will be informed that unless the union of the girls is recognized linemen and electricians will walk out. The company is sue ceeding in giving little better ser vice than it was able to do during the first days of the strike and the claim is made that it will be able to hold it's position until the strike oper- ators return to their posts.
 So far the latter show no signs of giving in and their demands are firm ly maintained. With the assistance of the linemen, should they finally decide to do so, they hope to make the strike more effective.
 The iron workers strike shows no change. The men will hold out for their demand. No violence is re- ported.
 Many of the leading saloonmen are in favor of closing all saloons during the continuance of the strike and may ask the mayor to do so.
