try, but the most strenuous Of ours

The greatest of all his schemes was
the coneoction of the plot to procure
the hanging of Pettibone in the inter.
est of the Western Mine owners. The
most dramatic of all his dramatic
coups was the midnight capture and
foreible abduction of these men to
Idaho, where a packed jury might
better be relied upon, although, unhap-
PLY, he had omitted to arrange for "a
bought judge. After the crushing blow
of Haywood IS acquittal, Piukerton de-
eided to have holiday in Europe, but
died in the passage across. We like

Boise, Idaho.-Sheriff Brown of Ba-
ker City, Oregon, was assassinated by
bomb explosion at his front yard
gate Monday evening, Sept. 80, 1907
The papers fash il upon the public as
deadly parallel to the murder Of
Ex-Governor Frank steunenberg.
Last nights papers state that Brown
makes a dying statement charging his
murder to the Western Federation of
Miners. This mornings Daily States
man plays up the story of Brown s
assassination with the headlines pro
claiming the guilt of the Western Fed
Grafton. II is announced that Brown
is tho sheriff who arrested Steve
Adams when Adams was inveigled
from Haines, Ore, and brought to
Idaho and placed in the penitentiary
at Boise with Orchard, and that be-
cause Brown arrested Adams he gain
ed the enmity of the w. +. Nj.
What are the factsi
Steve Adams was not arrested by
Brown. Brown was friend of the
Western Federation of Miners through
out the Haywood case. Brown volun-
tarily went to Wallace, Idaho, to at
tend Steve Adams trial last March.
Brown testified in behalf of Adams in
that case and Attorney Nugent de-
clared ao-day that the testimony of
Brown in that ease was invaluable,
that, in fact, no more important tes-
timony was given in behalf Of Adams
than the testimony of Brown.
IL is true that Brown was with Pin
kerton detective Thiee when Adams
was taken in tow by the National Kid
mapping and Criminal Association,
commonly known as the Pinkerton
National Detective Agency. Thiele
left Boise to go to Haines, Oregon. to
get Adams. Governor Gooding, a CO.
conspirator with the Pinkertons, tele-
phoncd Sheriff Brown to meet Thiele
at Haines with team; that Thiele
was going TO the hills to get very
bad man. Brown got a hack and took
a deputy, meeting Thiele at the place
appointed by Gov. Gooding of Idaho.
There never was warrant issued for
Adams in Oregon. Adams was asked
to come TO Boise as a witness, anI un-
der that understanding Adams and
Thiele came TO Boise. Brown never
arrested Adams because Adams was
arrested by no one. But it appears
that Browns testimony explaining the
alleged arrest was very damaging to
the good name of the state of Idaho
I have already detailed that Adams
was inveiglcd into the penitcntiary and
there, through the completely of Gov.
Gooding, Warden Whitney, Detective
Mcfarland and Harry Orchard, a con
fession was extorted from Adams to

WILL GO TO TRIAL ON TUESDAY

Boise, Idaho. Broken in health by
hs long confinement and illness, George
A. Pettibone, indicted with Haywood
and Meyer for the murder Of exGov.
Steunenber, will be placed on trial
next week. The date has been fixed
for Tuesday and both prosecution and
defense have announced that they will
be ready at that time.
Pettibone is still suffering from the
effects of the recent illness that at one
time threatened to cause his death, but
maintains the hopeful and cheerful
spirit that has animated him since he
was brought to Boise from Denver to
answer to the charge of murder Nat

apparently does not realize the gravity

Little Interest in Case.
When the condition Of his health al
lows, he spends his abundant leisure
in making clever sketches and pyro-
graphic work, which he gravely assures
his visitors will become highly valu-
able as souvenirs after he has been
hanged.
Little popular interest is manifested
in the case, the general belief being
that the prosecution will fail to prove
its case. Those who formerly sympa-
thized with the state officials in their
efforts to secure the conviction of the
Western Federation leaders are criti,

GOLD PIECE THAT
WOULD NOT RING

The rumor that counterfeit coins are
being spread all over the Territory was
responsible for a little trouble which
occurred in Chinese restaurant on
Hotel street last night. A Japanese
got meal which he tried to pay for
with a, So gold piece. The coin would
not ring and the Chlnanan refused to
take it, reporting the matter to the
police.
Shortly after the japanese came to
the police station himself, and stated
that he had been given the coin by the
watchman on the bark st. Catherine.
He had taken the coin back in the
meantime, and investigation showed
that it had been turned over to Capt.
Saunders of the vessel. Officer Reeves
inspected it and thought that it was
good coin, but slightly cracked, which
prevented its ringing properly.
U. S. Marshal Hendry was notified of
the matter and it will be investigated
by his office.

ssultation with the members.
He said he did not see exactly what
was sought to be accomplished by the
proceeding. It did not attack the va
Iidity of the law in any way, but mere
ly the eligibility of three of the mem
bers. He presumed that the Attorney
General would represent the board. He
could not see that it would have any
immediate effect.

of the board, said that he did not see
that the proceeding could have any
