LETTERS ARE INTRODUCED
Tend to Show That Haywood Had
knowledge of Orchards Doings

NnOWleuBe OF OrCnaru LONGS
Boise. Ida, June 19.-The prosecu.
ton in the Steunenberg murder trial Of.
fered one of its most important pieces
Of evidence against William ID. Hay
wood when. recalling Harry Orchard
for redirect examination, it introduced
four letters tending to show that Hay
wood. during the fall of 1908, when
Orchard Swears he was engaged on
various crimes for the federation lead
ers. had participated in plan TO de-
ceive Mrs. Orchard as to the where
abouts of her husband.
over variety of protests from the
defense. Orchard was allowed to testify
that early in the summer of 1908 Hay
wood told him that Mrs. Orchard was
writing for information as to Orchards
whereabouts.
The defense attacked the letters and
Orchards story about them when it got
Il chance to cross-eXamine the witness,
but orchard held to the story he told
about them. The witness successfully
denied that he had made an arrange
ment for the delivery of the letters to
Pinkerton agents that the letters had
only made their appearance since he
| left the stand last week. or that he had
! invented the story because his wife
had Haywood's letter in her possession.
He swore positively that Haywood had
agreed to write to Mrs. Orchard telling
her that her husband was in Alaska
and that Pettibone and Meyer knew of
the arrangement.
Boise. Ida. June 14.-The men who
are battling to save the life of William
u. Haywood and the good name Of the
Western Federation of Miners made
their greatest assault upon Harry Or
chard yesterday when. carrying the re-
view by cross-eXamination of his life
of crime down to his confession, they
bitterly assaled his guiding motives.
For hours the defense hammered al
Orchards motive of saving his own
| l!fe. They sought to show il in the
force of example drawn from the i'm
munity of informers in the Molle Nc
CURE cases. but this the witness would
not admit Next they sought for it in
Orchards effort to bring Steve Adams
to the state and then in the subseQuen,
meetings with MCFARLAND and Govern
or Gooding. They emphasized the fac
that the witness had twice written his
testimony out, but Orchard repealed
the suggestion that it had been changed
by Mcfarland, Attorney Hawley Of
anybody else.
After that it was suggested that Or
chard had placed his future in tn,
keeping Of MCFARLAND, that the Pin
kertons had sent money to his famil.
In Canada, that he had been suppliet
with dates to strengthen his story, ant
that Mcfarland had trained him as ,
stage manager would for his appear
ance on the stand. But all this Orchard
denied.

AUTO STRUCK CARRIAGE.
Two Women Badly Hurt at Brat
tleboro-M achine Hurried Away.

Bratteboro. June 13.-An automobile
ran into a carriage occupied by Mrs.
Will Randall and Miss Alice Grover near
the Bradley farm last night, overturning
the carriage, throwing the occupants to
the ground and knocking the horse
down. Mrs. Randalls collar bone was
broken and her face was badly bruised
and Miss Grover was hurt on one hip.
The thills and cross-bar of the carriage
were broken. The occupants of the
automobile hurried away without allow
ing their identity to become known.
Men on foot happened along about that
time and assisted the two women in get
ting started homeward.
The above infamous outrage should be
enough to arouse the whole State to a
determination to Danish as quickly as
possible all automobiles from our public
roads. Two years isn't long to wait
and in the meantime the people should
demand of the selectmen that they EN-
ploy the present law for regulating speed
upon all narrow and dangerous high
ways to its fullest extent.

KremuIetta Sold.

Mr. E. E. Young of Peekskill, N Y,
has sold his very fast standard bred mare
Kremuletta to Brooklyn parties. This is
undoubtedly one of the fastest mares
that ever left Middlebury. Noah Wisell,
who has been keeping and handling the
mare for Mr.. Young since last Septem-
Der, is deserving of great credit, as he
delivered her to Peekskill last Wednesday
in the pink of condition. Mr.. Wisell re-
ports fine trip down the Hudson. and
says he wonders why Mr.. Young comes
to Vermont to buy horses, as he has
three in his stable that would pay some
of these Vermont horsemen to just look
at, let alone ride behind, as they can all
step close to 2 30 and are all 16 hands,
clean, sound and handsome.

How Whales are Killed.

The feature attracting the casual OBJ
server is the vessels harpoon gun, stu
ated forward of everything, from which
the formidable harpoon is fired into the
whale. The gun looks like small can
non, and about pound of powder is
used to discharge the harpoon, which is
rammed home in the same manner as a
shot would be, and tied from the outside
end with small cord, this breaking, of
course. when the gun is fired. The har-
poon is very heavy missile, weighing
several hundred pounds, which necessi-
tates its being fired only at pretty close
range; the lance head pierces the whale
and soon afterward eXplodes bomb con-
tanned in it, while still farther back on
the shaft are barbs, which expand on
entering the whale, making it next to
impossible for the harpoon to be drawn
out again. Each harpoon, after being
fired, has to be Strengthened by a black
smith in order to again fit the gun-b barrel.
A stout hemp rope. four inches in cir
conference, is attached to the harpoon
about eighteen inches from the point;
this line is of great fexibility and
strength, and is manufactured solely for
whaling in Norway. A few fathoms of
this line are coiled on plate directly UNI
der the gun, the remainder being below
decks clear to run. There are two of
these lines each /, 800 feet in length, and
sometimes they are none too long for the
purpose. Metropolitan Magazine.

The Ohio American Sportsman of

The Ohio American Sportsman of
Cleveland has the following editorial:
The tragic death of Harry Hamlin last
week, calls up a very interesting phase
connected with the use of automobiles
by people of certain temperaments.
Those who have had time to devote to
the study of the subject hold that there
is sufficient ground for the belief that
the use of automobiles by people of GER
tain temperaments is very likely to de-
velop a mania for fast riding, which
takes on after awhile, form of insanity
1t has been observed that those who
take the greatest delight in fast riding to
the point of recklessness, are nearly all
persons of one temperament; that after
beginning the use of the machine, that
the desire to ride at break-neck speed
becomes fixed; this lis followed by utter
recklessness and total disregard for tbs
safety of the lives of others. as well as
the life of the rider. Whether or not
this is true, there are thousands of auto
mobiles in use, whose owners take
chances that no person seemingly in
their right mind would take. The pub
| lie, however are not so much concerned
about the manner I'm which the fool au-
tomobile driver puts his own life in
jeopardy, as they are interested in saving
themselves from being run over, manned
and killed. This is one of the problems
that will have to be solved in the near
future. The longer it is delayed the
greater will be the difficulties in solving
it, At the present rate it will not be
long until public sentiment has so crys
talized against the automobile that the
legislation thus secured will be radical
