 Roped Runaway Horses-Zee Hayes, a we'll known eowpuncher, was given the opportunity of displaying his skill with the rope yesterday afternoon, of which he took good advantage. Hayes was sitting on his horse at the Barclay Higdon stable, when team attached to wagon belonging to Geo. E. Shute came tearing up Broad street at Dan Patch gait. Hayes got an even start with the runaway team, but his rope became tangled and he did not get a chance to use it until the team, some distance in the lead, was almost op- posite the Silver Belt office. He made quick throw, the moose settling about the neck of one of the runaways, and when Hayes horse, trained to the rope, stock back, the team was thrown al- most in a circle and brought to sud

One OF the drafts in his favor was
drawn after the murder of Steunen-

witnesses that Simpkins was with
Orchard in Caldwell prior to. but not

draft produced in evidence and iden.
tilted by the cashier OF the Denver
bank, was drawn in January, 1906. 1t

The draft in favor of Simpkins was
drawn prior to the time Orchard made

AMERICAN LEADS
WAR ON SALVADOR
But He Is Now a Prisoner In
the Artillery Garrison at
the Capital.
Sugar Planter Starts Another War
Between Nicaragua and Salvador,
But Invading Forces Are Beaten
and Are Making Last Stand.

Mexico City.-Salvado with a
orce of regular troops on Wednesday
defeated a body of revolutionists and
Nicalaguans, who on Tuesday cap
tured the port of Acajutla and who
later attempted to move on the Sal
vadorean capital. The invading
forces were driven back to Acajutla
and are now making a stand there.
The battle was fought near the
town OF Sonsonata, which the invad-
ers endeavored to capture. Sonso-
nata, which is well garrisoned, is
about twelve miles from Acajutla on
the Salvadorean railroad, which con-
meets the port of Acajutla with the
capital of the republic. AS soon as
the invading force entered the har-
Dor they easily took possession of
the town, which was poorly defended.
They then seized train which hap
pened to be at the terminus of the
road at the time, and swiftly moved
on to Sonsonata.
Meanwhile President Figueroa had
heard of the capture of the town and
ordered an, immediate mobilization of
the Salvadorean army. A number of
troops were rushed by train from the
capital to Sonsonata. During the
night the invaders surrounded the
town, attacking IL Tuesday morn
ing with the result above stated.
Not the least interesting part of the
whole incident is the fact that an
American citizen is said to have been
the promoter and leader of the move.
He Is John Moissant, a wealthy sugar
planter, who formerly resided in San
Francisco, Cal, and who Is now a
prisoner in the artillery garrison at
San Salvador II is said he will later
be tried by the Salvadorean govern
ment. Moissant Is one of four
brothers who, beside owning one of
the richest sugar plantations in Cen
trial America, possess considerable
property In San Francisco.
About a month ago John and
George Moissant are said to have en-
tered into conspiracy with General
Escalon, a brother of former Presi-
dent Jose Escalon. whereby a revolu-
ton was TO be started with the idea
Of making General Petrero Escalon
president. According to the story,
widely current in Salvador, the Of
ncers Of the garrison at Sonsonata
were biibed and on the day set for
the capturing of the town the coffee
given to the troops was doctored.
John Moissant, 1t is alleged, en-
deavored to become mayor and COM
mandant of Sonsonata. but. failing in
this, he was appointed American vice
consul. The American consul who ap-
pointed him is no longer in the SER
vice, having been charged with aiding
Felipe Fernandez, a member Of the
alleged junta. to send messages TO
President Zelaya of Nicaragua. Since
the unearthing of this alleged evil
dence by the government the whole
Moissant family, including two beau
tiful girls. have been kept under the
closest surveillance. II Is said the
sisters have been trying to leave the
country for their home In the United
States, but as the Salvadorean gov.
eminent claims to have evidence that
they are also In the alleged revolu.
tionary plot. they have not been al.
lowed to leave the country.

The Hague.-The second inter

urday afternoon, June 1G. The ses-
sion lasted scarcely twenty minutes,
and was devoid OF any incident out
side of the prearranged programme.
1t consisted simply of short speech
of welcome by DR.. van Tets van

minister; the adoption of resolution
to send greetings to Emperor Mich

eagerly awaited speech of NJ. Nolidoff,
head of the Russian delegation. who
was unanimously chosen president OF
the conference.
The keynote sounded by NJ. Nolidof
on behalf of Russia was crushing
blow to the pacificists. There was no

nouned that II would close its case
during the week.
Among Saturdays witnesses were
former Governor Peabody and his

Tense decided that 1t would be better
TO refrain from doing so.
Against a sustained fire Of objection
and motions to strike out and along a
record Photographed with exceptions
by the defense OF the rulings of Judge
Wood, the prosecution succeeded In
securing the admission of much evi.
dence bearing on points OF Orchards
tale. First there was a showing that
Steve Adams, stranded at Ogden in
June, 1908, on the way home from
California, where, II Is alleged, he
went to kill Bradley, sent telegram
TO Haywood at Denver for money.
Next It showed by the originals OF

Haywood and the good name of the

their greatest assault upon Harry
Orchard on Thursday when. carrying
the review by cross-examination OF
