Boom in Colorado Lands.

A Chicago syndicate headed by DR..
E. w. Lucas is going in heavily for
lands in eastern Colorado, especially
the state lands. which are being pur-
chased in large areas in the region
about Cheyenne Wells, where dry
farming fiourishes.
DR.. Lucas is buying up several
thousand acres of land in the best dry
farming region and a Chicago syndi-
cate. heavily capitalized, is backing
him. The region about Cheyenne
Wells, almost deserted since the build
ing of the Union Pacific put an end to
freighting across the plains, practi.
cally valueless even for grazing lands,
has suddenly come to be in great de-
mand since Campbell made practical
the dry farming process. The Chicago
syndicate, foreseeing a rush of farm
ers to that region. which yields such
large returns for labor. is preparing to
meet it by having the most desirable
of TIE state lands in a syndicate.

ORCHARD WEEPS
FIRST TIME IN TRYING ORDEAL
WITNESS BREAKS DOWN.
GLAD DIDN'T KILL PEABODY
Haywood's Counsel Gives Inkling OF
Their Plans for Defense Against
Orchards Confession.

Boise, Idaho.-After withstandins
With marvellous strength of nerve and
muscle a weeks examination that was
one prolonged confession of crime,
Harry Orchard broke down and for Il
few moments wept like a child. His
unnerving came with story of his
conversion and confession and the
mention of King David. murderer, tho
Biblical figure which is supposed to be
Orchards later guide.
The defense had given solemn tone
to the scene preceding the meeting be
tween Orchard and Detective McPar.
land, to whom he confessed, by show
ing that Orchard was first Illegally
brought to the penitentiary and thrust,
into almost solitary confinement. His
only cell neighbor was Bob Wetter, a
condemned murderer. Then came the
first MCFARLAND interview and the
story of David and Uriah.
Orchard faltered and tried to hold
back his tears. but he lost in the strug-
gle. The tears streamed from his eyes
and, reaching for his handkerchief, he
buried his face in his hands. The
questions went on mercilessly as be-
fore, but 1t was a full three minutes
before the answers were coming in the
ola sure tones.
The defense, carrying the confession
forward. tried to show that MCFARLAND
had played a disreputable part in the
Molly Maguires and that he had prom
ised Orchard immunity.
The earlier part of the examination
as to the Steunenberg crime was
largely devoted to an effort to show
that Orchard had purposely been pub
lie in his actions at Caldwell and had
sought to draw attention to himself
and his crimes.
Orchard, just before the noon ad-
journment, in low and shaken tones,
told of his conversion. How. when IN
the penitentiary he thought over
his past life he thought of putting him
self out of the way and that he ought
to make clean breast of it all. He
said he had come to feel that the grave
did not end it all. The story was told
to hushed courtroom, the silence only
being broken by the drone of Orchard S
voice.
Orchard also testified that he was a
Mason when he lived in Canada and d
member OF the Colborn lodge.

A coMRADE TURNED OUT.
Decorates Graves of Old Soldiers and
Is Expelled From Home.

Monte Vista, Colo.-James II. Mad.
den, an inmate of the Old Soldiers
and Sailors home at Monte Vista
and commander of the local G.
A. r. post there, was expelled
from the home for decorating
the graves of deceased comrades with
American flags. Commandant Aldrich
acted as prosecutor judge and fury.
Comrade Madden knew he was doomed
10 expulsion before the hearing began
and for that reason, after pleading
guilty to the two minor charges of the
five made against him, he declined to
be examined by Commandant Aldrich.
The inmates of the home are in full
sympathy with Madden and his expu'-
sion may disrupt the institution, unless
the board of commissioners removes
Aldrich, who has been unpopular with
the veterans for many months on ac-
count of the martinez methods he has
adopted for the conduct of the home.
The home, so the old soldiers declare.
is under rules and regulations such as
obtain in the army camps during act
ual war time.
If all the charges they make against
tho management are true, the home Is
nothing more or less than a military
prison, and anyone who violates any
rule-and there are hundreds of them
-iE the slightest degree, Intentionally
or unintentionally, practically stands
subject to expulsion at the hands of
Commandant Aldrich, who acts as pros
ecrtor, judge and jury.
Commandant Aldrich, in a statement
after expelling Madden, said it was no.
question of patriotism but of author.

II had been Commandant Aldrich s
intention to eXpel at least score Of
veterans from the home for placing the
Stars and Stripes over the graves of
comrades buried in the cemetery here
Cheap cotton flags had been placed
over the graves on Decoration Day, but
ordered removed the next day by Al
drich, who thought it was waste of
money 10 allow Gods sunshine TO
bleach the flags, or to allow them to fy
to the breezes in memory of the de-
parted heroes.
The action of the commandant
aroused the. inmates of the home TO
great indignation, and they promptly
raised money and sent TO Denver for
more flags. Aldrieh heard of this
move and ordered that the new flags
should not be placed in the cemetery.
The old soldiers ignored his order, and
when he tried to keep them from enter
ing the cemetery by force. they
brushed him aside as if he had been 4
fly This aroused Aldrich's ire, and ne
threatened to have every man who
took part in placing the flags expelled
from the home. Only hostile criticism
and the fear of a walkout at the home
kept him from carrying out his fun
threat. Comrade Madden was then Sc
lected as the fall guy" and expelled
after a trial that was nothing more
than a farce

Senator Morgan Passes Away.

Washington.-Unit States Senator
John Tyler Morgan of Alabama, died
here at 11:15 p. m, June 11th.
Senator Morgan had been in bad
health for a number of years, but had
more or less regularly attended the
sessions of Congress. He suffered
from angina pectoris, which was the
cause of his death. At his deathbed
were his daughters, Miss Mary Nor
gan. and Mss Cornelia Morgan, both
of this city, and his secretary, ]. o.
Jones.
Mr.. Morgan's home in Alabama was
at Selma
John Tyler Morgan was one of the
most distinguished members of the
United States Senate, and was so rec
ognized by all parties. He was born
June 20, 1924. He went to Alabama
when nine years of age, receiving his
education there. He was admitted to
the bar in 1S45, and began the prac-
tice of his profession. He rapidly
gained high reputation as a lawyer
and a speaker. He was presidential
elector in 1860, voting for Brecken-
ridge. and in in 1861 was a delegate
to the Alabama convention which de-
clared for secession. He enlisted in
the Confederate army as a private in
1851. In 1862 he raised a regiment,
of which he was made colonel, and in
1863 he was commissioned brigadier
general and commanded division un-
der General Johnston. After the war
he resumed the practice of law at
Salem. He was presidential elector on
the Democratic ticket in 1876 and in
1877 was elected to the United States
Senate.
He was five times reelected, in 1882.
1888. 1894, 1900 and 1906. In 1900
there was no opposing candidate and
he received the unanimous vote of the
Alabama Senate and House.
He was for many years recognized
as one of the ablest leaders of the
Democrats in the Senate. He was for
number of years member of the
Senate committee on foreign relations
and for some years its chairman.
Recently he was chairman of the
committee on interoceanic canals and
favored the Nicaragua canal route in
stead of the Panama, making one of
the most memorable fights in the Sen
ate in favor of his contention. In No
vember, 1903, he was removed from
the Craftsmanship of that committee.

Colorado Boy Among the Drowned

Washington.-Six bright young mid.
shipmen, fresh from the academy at
Annapolis, all attached to the big bat
tleship Minnesota, have been drowned.
The list of dead contains the name of
Philip H. Field of Denver, appointed
from Colorado on the recommendation
of Senator Patterson, and who was
graduated from the academy last year.
The conclusion was reached at the
Navy Department that either on ac-
count of the lateness of the hour of the
return trip the Minnesota's launch in
her haste had been driven hard into
the hevy sea that prevailed in Hamp-
ton Roads last night, or that the little
boat has been run down by some
giant tramp steamers that make use
roads as refuge in time of storm.
While the launch carried a good
sized party, no one has been found who
can say exactly how many occupants
the launch contained.
The men in the launch appeared to
be in high spirits after an evening of
dancing. How the launch, buoyed up
by so many air-tight compartments,
could have been lost is yet a matter of
speculation One theory is that 1t was
run into and cut in two by passenger
vesesl. which may have passed com
pletely over the unfortunate launch.

WashinCton.-War between Nicara-
qua and San Salvador seems imminent,
Notwithstanding the recent agreement
of peace between these two Central
American republics.
Acting on cable news that President
Zelaya has sent forces into San Saliva
dor for the purpose of melting rebellion
and war, this government has ordered
the Yorktown and some small yes
sells to proceed to the south again and
look after American and other national
interests.
The State Department seems to have
no doubt that war will be commenced,
as Minister Merry at San Salvador has
telegraphed that a Nicaraguan vessel
has actually landed troops at Acajutla
for general revolutionary purposes
The Nicaraguan government has
been asked by the State Department
for the facts.
There IS an undercurrent of feeling
in the State Department now that it
will perhaps be the better plan to let
the Nicaraguans and San Salvadoreans
fight it out, the department taking care
all the time of American and foreign
Interests where European nations are
not represented by warship.

Swear Orchard Did Not Buy Powder

Boise, Idaho.-Deposition from the
Judson Powder Company of San Fran
cisco will go far toward shattering the
testimony of Harry Orchard given by
him on the witness stand.
The witness for the prosecution
stated that he purchased ten pounds
of dynamite with which~ to blow up
the Bradley home from the San Fran
cisco store of the Judson company.
The dispositions secured by the de-
fense and taken from the records of
the powder company show that no ten
pound lot of dynamite was sold any
where near the date fixed by Orchard
as the time he bought the powder.

Mexico City.-A cable dispatch says
the Salvadorean army has defeated
the invading force which cap
tured Acajutla and has driven it back
to the coast. One of the soldiers of
the invading army was John Moisani.
a former resident of San Francisco. an
American citizen. He is reported to

President Figueroa.
The message follows:

tured. FIG UEROA."
1t is reported on good authority that
troops are ready to invade Salvador
from three sides. This information
says Generals Toledo and Alfara are
on the Honduran border ready to
strike and General Corea will enter the
country by way of Ampala.
