exciting time comes. The land ends OF the

MONEY ORDER IS TRACED
State Shows Pettibone Sent AS
sistance to Orchard.

Boise, Ida, June 14.-The prosecu-
ton in the Steunenberg murder case
is devoting itself to further corrobora-
ton of the testimony of Orchard rela-
tive to the two attempts, one with
strychnine and the other with dyna-
mite, on the life of Fred Bradley of
San Francisco and an endeavor to
directly connect Pettibone with the
operations of Orchard. e y,
It was again shown that Orchard
hung around the Bradley home, en-.
gagged a room in the vicinity and met
the servants of the Bradley household.
He was seen moving his effects the
night before the explosion and he was
traced to the house again after the
explosion occurred.
Then the state, by the record of the
United States postofices at San Fran
cisco and Denver, traced a registered
letter from u. Wolff" at 1725 Stout
street, Denver, which was the address
Of Petitioners store, to j. Dempsey at
San Francisco, sent in August, 1904,
when Orchard was there to kill Brad
ley. Dempsey was the alias used by
Orchard in San Francisco. Orchard
swore this letter contained 500. The
defense did but little cross-examina-
ton and contented itself with a gen
eral objection to all the testimony
offered.

QUITS CANAL POSITION.
Joseph Ripley, Consulting Engineer,
Gets Better Job.

Washington, June 17.-Joseph Rip
ley has resigned his position as one of
the consulting engineers on the Pan
ANA canal commission to accept a
more lucrative position in this coun-
try. Mr. Ripley was a member of the
international board Of consulting en-
gineers which met in Washington two
years ago to determine the type of
canal to be constructed across the
isthmus of Panama, a board which has
since passed out of existence. He also
was assistant engineer on the canal
under Chief Engineer Stevens and has
lately been employed by Colonel Goe-
thals in designing the details of the
great locks for the canal, work for
which he was regarded as peculiarly
fitted because of success attending his
design and knowledge Of the 500
locks.
