History Of General Mathews
Accompanying the priceless papers
already described. there is a snatch Of
the history OF General Mathews.
There he stands" il reads with
the figure Of Apollo. and with the spirit
Of Mars. clad in the blue and bun of
the Revolution, wearing the sword
which he had worn through the strug-
gle with the mother country, his we'll
powdered head surmounted by the old
cooked hat. which he had worn when
driven from Fort Nelson by the my
rmidons Of his British namesake."
To his dying day. which happened on
the eve of the late war with Great

peared in the field in fun uniform, and
was greeted by old and young with
applause. He was native OF st.

Of his life was while on a visit to his
brother at st. Kits The French fleet

Of money upon the people which they

an order from him on the American
consul I'm Paris, for the sum I'm ques-

that he was there for the purpose or

event that Caldwell failed.

A Great Water Wheel.

Saturday a representative of the
Tribune, accompanied by Mr.. J.. A.
James. former superintendent of the
Phyllis canal, went down to Mr.. Ode's
place to examine a water elevator
recently installed by Mr.. Jake Mus
SELL Mr.. Ode was using horse power
to raise the water at the time. How
ever, he intends putting in a gasoline
engine in the near future. While
there we witnessed the water eleva-
tor in operation. Mr.. Mussell demon
|strated beyond a doubt that he had
solved the problem of lifting water.
His scheme Is practical in that 1t does
the work, and the cost of installation
of such a plant is nominal. Mr..
James who has had a great deal Of
experience with water wheels. eleva-
tors, etc., expressed himself as well
pleased with Mr.. Mussell's plant. The
mechanism is perfect and the idea

The business men have taken up
the matter of raising $4,000 in dead
earnest. They are determined that
the San Francisco, Idaho & Montana
railorad start at this
point. Mr.. E. R. Place, general sup
erintendent has informed Caldwell
that the road will be built from here,
provided that the people of Caldwell
do their part. But he also says that
unless the bonus Is forth coming that
the route of theroad will be changed
to miss Caldwell. 1t seems that there
is little difference in the cost of con-
struction and in the distance, II the
road is built from some point west
of Caldwell The Caldwell end has
a little the best of 1t. Mr.. Place
wants to build from here and has
placed the matter squarely up to the
people of the city. 1t seems that
some of our people are showing a
| disposition to get out of renewing
their notes. The Tribune cannot un'
derstand such apolicy. Iftheroad was
desirable a year ago 1t is today. The
building of a through road to Win

of making Caldwell the metropolis

to Butte, Caldwell will have becom,

not dwell on this. He would urge
the people of Caldwell to hasten IL
the work of raising the $4,000. 90

The Tribune great pleasure to quote
the following from the BrOokings
County Press, which will tell the peo-
pie of Caldwell who and what the gen.
tleman is:
Mr.. and Mrs. l. s. Binford left the
first of the week for their new home
at Caldwell, Idaho. While Mr.. and
Mrs. Binford spent a larger part of
the year in Colorado and the west for
several years, on account of Mrs.
Binford's health they have all the
time counted Brookings as their
home, being loath to give up perma-
nently their residence here, hoping
that Mrs. Binford's healtcmfwyhrd
that Mrs. Binford would be able to
endure our winters after getting
stronger. That she has not been able
to do so accounts largely for their de-
cision to take up their residence in
a climate where they might be settled
the year around, and Mr.. Binford has
arranged to engage In business in
Caldwell, having recently acquired
interests there and Unidentified himself
with the townsite department of q
new railsoad now building through
that section. Caldwell is new and
hustling town about the size OF
Brookings, with a most promising fu
ture, and has been selected by Mr.
Binford as home after having op
portunity to investigate thorough,
the inducements and advantages
| throughout the new west.
The regret that Mr.. and Mrs. Bin
ford feel on leaving Brookings Il
shared by our people almost withou
exception, for the Binfords have beel
desirable citizens to a marked degre

HAYWOOD MURDER TRIAL
is DRAWING TO A CLOSE
CASE WILL Be In The HANDS OF The JURY in
SHORT TIME.ACC0lNT OF LAST WEEKS
PROCEEDINGS

The past week in the great trial
has been one of unusual interest for
two of the principle defendants have
been on the stand and the state has
brought in many of it's witnesses in
rebuttal.
Wednesday found Mr.. Meyer on the
stand and when court convened
eThursday he took the stand again for
cross examination. His manner was
very self-possessed, but one could see
that he was quite nervous for he con-
stantly toyed with lead pencil which
he carried and at numerous times
1t became necessary to wet his lips
with water In order that he could ar
ticulate plainly.
In the cross examination of Meyer
the state directed it's strongest attack
against the circumstances under
which the Federation and the officers
of the Federation without inquiry as
gave $500 from its treasury to pro-
vide a lawyer for his defense. 1t al
so developed that the Federation is
providing for the defense of Steve
Adams, though he ceased to be a
member of the Western Federation
of Miners in 1904.
Mr., Meyer denied knowing any
thing about the 500 that Haywood
sent to Jack SimplSins a few days be-
fore Steunenberg was assassinateo,
and that if draft for that amount
had been sent the check for the pur-
chase of the draft would have to be
Z countersigned by himself as presi-
dent and that he had never signed
such a check, the only money he knew
of Simpkins getting at that time was
