Mr. Reimers was in bathing with
| several of his associates at the time of
the accident. and when he went down,
was about 20 feet from half hundred
bathers. He was taken out of the W 1t
er about two minutes after he went
down, but two solid hours of desperate
work failed to revive him. The at
tending physicians say that they think
that he suffered an attack of hea t
trouble and that he was dead before
he was taken from the water. He was
considered an exceptionally COOL
swimmer and diver. and the theory Of
heart trouble seems the most probate"

One of the great state trials of
American history began at Boise, Ida

wood, secretary and treasurer of the
Western Federation of Miners, was
arraigned for the murder of ex-Gov-

circumstances Of the case were extra
ordinary. The crime was of peculiar
atrocity, and Russian rather than
American in its character. Mr.. Steu-

the troubles that were assigned as the
