EFFORT MAY BE
MADE TO KILL
HARRY ORCHARD
Man Whose Testimony Is Intended to
Convict Miners Officials Being
Closely Watched-Two
Jurors Chosen.

BOISE, Idaho, May 1.-THE sum
moning Of the special venire of tales
men in the Hayward case will be finally
completed tomorrow morning and the
100 men who have been called by
Sheriff "Shad" Ogdin will present
themselves in Judge Wood court,
when at o'clock tomorrow afternoon
the case will be resumed. General ex-
pectation is that no more than two of
the regular venire already examined
will be retained in the jury box and
that the bulk of the jury will come
from the quota now being called by the
sheriff.
The eleven men confined since Thurs
day last in the jury house will be very
glad to see the case resumed tomorrow.
A majority of them know that they
are not to serve on the jury and while
they have been comfortably housed an"
well fed, they have grown restless under
confinement.
Interest in the trial continues to cen
ter in the personality and testimony of
Harry Orchard, who killed Governor
Steunenberg and upon whose alleged
confession William Haywood and his
associates in the directorate of the
Western Federation of Miners were in
,ticted. It's elimination will come when
he is brought into court to relate his
story.
Speculation as to the time of his ap-
pearance is idle until the jury is
formed, but it is believed that he Will
be called after the death of Steunen-
borg has been proven, and that his tes-
timony will be the main foundation up
on which the prosecution will be built
Meantime Orchard is closely guard
ed prisoner in the State penitentiary, q
castle-like structure, built and walled
with stone that stands in the eastern
suburb of the city. Various reports as
to attempts to kill Orchard are in cir
culation, the last being a tale from
Lewiston of plot alleged to have been
formed months ago to shoot Orchard
from the hills back of the prison

q y q q y ~ uuu oou.

espite the fact that the days
are rapidly passing and the
anniversary of the nation g in
dependence is now hardly more
than a month off, nothing has
been done in the way of arrang-
ing for a celebration here on
that date. There was no cele-
bration here on last Fourth Of
of july and many Winnemucca
people went to Lovelock to take
in the celebration there.
A prominent Winnemucca man
has suggested that the affair
be given over in it's initiative
stages to the ladies. This idea
is good one and it is up to the
ladies of Winnemucca to start
something which will wind up
with a big time the Fourth of
July. The Silver State has in
terviewed the majority of the
Winnemucca business men and
others ON the subject and all are
of one voice in the matter, and
that in favor of a celebration.
Other towns in the State are
preparing celebration. Carson
City people have met and pre-
pared for celebration and have
given the Eagles lodge at that
place charge. Lovelock is pre-
pairing celebration at that
place. Winnemucca has a good
opportunity to give celebra-
tion and invite the people of
Rosebud, Seven Troughs, Col
conda, Beowawe, Paradise Valley,
, McDermitt and half score
! other towns to join.
