The Red Men Dramatic club is dill
gently rehearsing and preparing for a
play which will be presented in the
near future. II is the intention of
the director. however. to have every
part as nearly perfect as possible be-
fore attempting its presentation, even
should it take several months to ac-
eomplish. The play is a splendid one
and when ready theater goers need
have no fears that it will be at all
amateurish. number Of the mem
bers are professionals and the others
will be so thoroughly trained in their
parts that all trace of stage fright
will be eliminated.

Young Corbett, once the idol of the
state in fistic circles, has announced
that he is down and out of the game
He is too heshy. The general opinion
Of fight fans is that he has been down
and out ever since Jimmy Britt got
the decision over him in California
He was a great fighter in his time
but like the majority OF his class he
could not stand prosperity and wen
the pace too rapidly. 1t is to his
credit that he provided for his fathei
and sisters during the days OF his
prosperity and placed them in po
sition that he could not have done
had he not entered the ring.

Count Won Reyentlow, the German

the government had no connection what

proprietor as regards Lieutenant Com.
mander Howard was wholly inexplicable
because foreign naval attaches were ad-

Yesterday Was a Quiet Day
at Doise
DISCUSS CERTAIN EVIDENCE
Defense Endeavors to Keep Certain Evi.
dencc They Claim Goes to Show That
Orchard Was in League With Nine
owners at Cripple Greek.

BOISE, July ls,--A day of argument
on the aAmissibility OF the points of the
evidence followed the announcement
from the defense that they had no
further witnesses to offer in behalf of
Haywood. The jury was not brought
into the court, Judge Wood having been
informed by the counsel of the decision
to rest without offer of sur-rebuttal,
Clarence Darrow spoke for an hour
and half Of the morning session. Borah
replied in the afternoon and was follow
cd by Richardson. The Judge will prob
ably announce his decision tomorrow.
The point argued was the proposition
to exclude from consideration by the
jury evidence offered by the defense
to show, by proof of the deportation Of
miners from and the employment of the
Pinkertons in the Cripple Greek district
that conspiracy was formed among
the mine owners and citizens of the dis
trict TO prevent the employment Of
members of the Western Federation.
The position taken by the defense was
that Orchard was employed by the mine
owners association through the detec-
tiyes to commit crimes which were then
charged to the Federation and public
opinion was aroused against the union
workers and it therefore followed ii the
Colorado evidence for the state was ad-
mitted, the defense had the right to
show counter conspiracy, The reply of
the state was the defense had failed
legally to connect their case in these
particulars and therefore their evidence
merely confused the issue. Judge Wood
state IN all probability he would de.
eide the point tomorrow. ], II, Hawley
will open the argument for the state at
10 o'clock tomorrow. 1t Is expected he
win take the entire day, Richardson
will speak for the defense Saturday.
