Tribute to Roosevelt.

Forecasting President Rnnsevelt's IS
future after his retirement, the Den
yer Republican says. "President
Roosevelt will have position new to
the republic He will retire in the
prime Of his intellectual and physical
vigor. He will step aside OF his own
volition, In the knowledge that a
sign from him would have meant his
retention-a man of tremendous force
who had had and will have the public
with him. Woe betide the public Of
fetal, be he president or congressman,
who proves untrue to his trust. The
man who originated the big stick
will be there with prong. He will
be az a shield and a buckler to the
republic"

Orchard Sentenced to Hang.

In the district court of Canyon
county at Caldwell, Wednesday
morning, Judge Fremont Wood
sentenced Harry Orchard to hang

commended Orchard to the mercy

In passing sentence Judge
Wood, who presided at both the
trials of Haywood and Pettibone,
took occasion to express his be-
lief in the truth of Orchards story.
With tears streaming down his
face and in a voice shaken with
emotion, the self-confessed assas-
sin thanked Judge Wood for his
mercy.
