BOISE. May 2.--counsei for the
prosecution and defense In the Steun-

down to the final preparatory work,

that the trial of William Haywood, the
first OF the accused men. viii be COM
menced on Thursday next Various
reports aa 10 the moves tending 10
tho further delay OF the trial are IN
circulation but the attitude o. both
sides. indicates that they are ready
to 20 10 the bar for trial.
The only preliminary proceeding
pending is u motion by the defense for
a bill Of particulars OF the evidence by
which the state hopes to show that
Haywood conspired In the murder OF
Steunenberg, This motion Is designed
TO disclose the hand OF the state and
win be argued on Monday next This
Is not likely 10 delay the trial as

of the trials approaches. officials,
states counsel. and men who lead in
the walks OF life. generally, have
reached a point where they refuse to
discuss tne case, publicly, and streets.
stores and hotels present no scenes,
foreign to the routine OF the days
work.
Under the surface Of the calm there
Is strong undercurrent Of apprehen-
sion and nervousness. Violence Is
even present fear. The position OF
the prisoners, their activities during
the years OF bitter labor warfare, their
arrest and removal from Idaho, the
allying III thousands OF worklngmen to
their support and the radical propa-
ganda undertaken In their behalf to-
gether with the intense feeling against
the mine owners association, have
served rightly or wrongly, TO make the
case In the minds Of many, contest
between capital and labor rather than
a trial Of a murder charge,
Few believe Meyer, Haywood or
Pettibone, or their friends or the men
affiliated with unlonism would coun-
tenance any acts of radicallsm there
may come a man or men, desperate
enough to attempt assassination
Letters threatening every form Of
violence are pouring into Boise, and
most OF these are directed to Cover

invites.
Another man similarly marked, Is
Harry Orchard, alleged to be the as
