his companion being shot
Acting Coroner Dick passed through
Billings last night on his way from
Forsyth to near the Wyoming line to
take possession of the body, having
been summoned by a telegram from
Sheriff Guy. The telegram was brief
and gave but few particulars. Mr..
Dick says that it said that the dead
man is supposed to fit the description
of one of the robbers who held up the
North Coast limited on the Northern
Pacific near Welch's spur and for
whom there is a reward of ST., 900.
The robbers were tracked from the
o. W. ranch where they stole the
horses, by Sheriff Guy and his posse.
When they overlook them the bandits
did not hesitate moment, but, en-
gagged in a fight. It was after a run
ming. fight that the body Of one rob-
Der was found. His companion is
thought to be wounded, and in his tel
egram Sheriff Guy said they felt con-
tident of capturing him.

CUTS STATES CASE SHORT
Ruling by Judge Dunno Abruptly Ends
SchmitZ Prosecution.

San Francisco June 10.-An import
ant ruling by Judge Dunno in favor Of
defense early this afternoon brought TO
a sudden and premature crosse the
case of the prosecution against Mayor
Eugene q. Schmitz for exeortion. The
defense, taken by surprise, was not
ready to begin the introduction of
evidence. So Mr.. Campbell, after a
1E-minute conference with his assis-
tants and their client, made the open
ing address to the jury in behalf Of the
mayor and adjournment was ordered
until tomorrow at 10 O'Clock.
Abraham Ruef, indicted Jointly with

Heney said. "Ihat opportunity now

ALLEGE A GREAT COUNTER CONSPIRACY
Counsel for Haywood By Questioning Of Orchard Give New
INSIGHT into Basis Of Defense

Boise, June 10.--In the further
cross-examination Of Harry Orchard
today, counsel for William d. Hay
wood repeatedly threw the suggestion
of great counter conspiracy, form
ulated and carried out by the enemies
of the Western Federation of Miners
and indicated determination to con-
sstruct their main line of defense on
that field. They carried Orchard by
details from the dynamit1ng OF the In
dependence station down 20 the at
tempt on the life of Fred Bradley and
his family, and in addition to a series
of particular attacks on the credibility
of the witness and the general prob
ability of his stories, and preparing
the way for their own testimony in
refutation. They sought to show that
Orchard has mania for boasting OF
the commission of crimes non-existent,
except in his own mind. and that he
is testifying under the control and
suggestion Of Detective Mcfarland.
They began today by making it clear
that as far as Orchard knew of his
own knowledge, Haywood, Meyer and
Pettibone had nothing to do with the
inspiration, planning and execution of
the Vindicator explosion, and that
Haywood and Meyer had nothing to do
with the planning of the murder of
Detective Gregory. Passing to the
dynamiting of the independence sta
tion, the first crime with which the
testimony Of Orchard directly con.

CHARGES JURY TAMPERlNe.
San Francisco Judge inquiries Into Al
legations of Mrs. Hurst.

San Francisco, June 1O.-Judge
Lawler today caused an inquiry to be
made into the charge of Mrs. NJ. Hurst
during the trial of E. M. Emmons,
whom she accuses of swindling her on
ia mining deal, that he has been en-
deavoring to influence the jury by
presenting certain of the jurors with
cigars and by engaging them in con
versation. Mrs. Hurst repeated these
statements after Judge LaWlor had.
directed the jury to withdraw from
the court. Mrs. Addie Mcdaniel, her
friend and witness for her, said she
had seen Emmons give cigars to
three of the jurors.
Emmons was called to the stand and
declared that the story was not true.
Judge Lawlor declared that he was
inclined to believe Mrs. Hurst's state
ment, but reserved his decision as to
what he will do in the matter.

Wyoming Sheriff Credited with End

Sheridan, Wyo., June IO.-While
pursuing two Montana horsethieves
yesterday, Sheriff Guy ana posse
from Johnson county shot and killed
one of the robbers that held up a
Northern Pacific passenger train at
We1ch Spur recently. The man was
cornered and shot on what IS known
as the 20 W. ranch, 40 miles south
east OF Sheridan. The second man
escaped with the horses, nut it is be
lieved he will be captured or shot
within "a hours.

meets Haywood, Meyer and Pettibone,
they endeavored to show that orchard
in springing the mine had purposely
sought to spare the on-comYng train
and the non-union men who were ex-
pected to entrain, and that the whole
plot was engineered by agents Of the
mineowners and railway managers,
who wanted comparatively harmless
outrage to injure the union miners,
who were on strike.
Leaving the independence station
crime, which was followed by the
flight of Orchard into Wyoming, and
then by his return TO Denver, counsel
for the defense sought to discredit the
story that Haywood directed Orchard
to kill Andy Mayberry, by showing
that Haywood and Mayberry are old
and intimate friends. Getting down to
the Bradley crime, they devoted their
questioning largely to the revolving
story of Orchards attempt to poison
the entire Bradley household, includ-
ing the infant child, which he had seen
in baby carriage, and Mrs. Grow,
the cook, with whom he made friends
and whom he escorted to theater.
Into stronger relief than had the di-
rect examination, they threw the utter
depravity Of the witness and gave the
watching crowd the one deep-noted
thrill Of an otherwise Wearying day.
Orchard swore that while in San
Francisco he repeatedly received mon
ey from Pettibone, who used the name
of "Pat Bone" in transmitting it, and

prove the commission by the defend
ant of offenses similar TO the one
charged, in order to show his criminal
intention in perpetrating the latter.
This would have been allowed by
Judge Dunno, had the state been able
to answer afamatiyely the question
from the bench, But 90 you intend
to show that money was passed in
these other alleged hold-ups OF i.
censes?" Mr.. Heney was compelled to
reply, "No, but we can show that the
motives actuating the mayor were ul-
.terior--were not motives OF duty or

YER|NCTON CENTRAL
ONE OF The BEST

One of the most promising properties
of the Yerington district of which little
has been said is the Yerington Central
owned by Salt Lake capitalists.
The group comprising two hundred
acres, is situated on the west slope of
the Mason Valley range, adjoining the
Ludwig and Nevada Douglas mines, and
is destined to make into one of the best
properties in the great Yerington dis
trict The Central holds the extensions
of both the Ludwig and Douglas and is
characterized by very extensive out
crops along the course of the different
contacts.
A number of men are at work driving
a tunnel to cut cross issure vein,
which on the surface shows width of
FIVE feet, carrying an average value of
seven per cent copper.
The organizers of the Yerington Cen
trail are spending their own money to
develop their holdings which goes to
show the implicit faith in the estate as
we'll as the district in general.
The Central and its adjoining neigh
bors on the west side of the range are
very favorably located, as they are far
enough removed from the agricultural
interests to admit of building smelters
close to the mines, thus efecting big
saving on team and railroad hauls. An
abundance of water can be easily pro-
cured for all practical purposes.
