dent Ralph Peters and General Superin-

crossings on the line. and that the look
out-for-the-cars sign post lis hidden by
trees. The jury's verdict wal as follows:
We find that ID Edward J. Gala CHER died

burns upon body. caused by being struck by a
train Of the Long Island Raiiroad al the To-
cust avenue crossing. st. Adams. and caused
through criminal negli eencs on the part Of

the crossing, and we recommend that they be
held TO await action of the Grand Jury. We
exonerate the engineer. y. o. Dimmick. from
all blame.
A similar finding was made in the case
Of Miss Madigan.

BOISE, Aug. Wv. d. Haywood will
leave tomorrow morning for Denver. He
will be accompanied by his family, includ-
ing his mother, Mrs. Csrruthers. The lat
ter will stop at salt Lake.
G. II. Meyer will not accompany the
party, remaining here for some time with
his wife. His failure to go with Haywood
has enewed the talk Of differences between
the two men. There has been no inter-
course between them since the trial. and
II Is quite evident that some feeling exists.
What it is all about no one knows.
They quarrelled in the early days of the
trial, but it was thought that had been
settled. Haywood was not present in court
when Meyer got bail. and it is said Meyer
never stopped shaving when he was told
Haywood had been acquitted. 1t il known
Meyer disapproNed the proposed demon
stration over Haywood in Denver. and it
seems certain hat a serious disagreement
exists.
