Pikers Win the Champion
ship

The Piker's baseball team of this city
won the championship of Clear Creek
County as well as the purse of $4,000
which was hung up for the winners on
July 4th at Empire. The teams COM
peting for the prize were Georgetown,
Silver Plume, Empire and Pikers' The
first game was called at nine o'clock,
and was between Georgetown and En-
pire, the Empire boys having things
their own way and winning easily by
the score of IA toe The second game
vas started at II 80 and was between
Silver Plume and Pikers. 1t was mu-
tually agreed upon that this game
should only go seven innings. and at
the end of the fifth inning, the score be-
ing IA to in favor of the Pikers, and
in order to finish the game quickly, the
Pikers did n OF come to bat at all but
retired six of the plume" players in
succession. During these two innings
the Plume succeeded in forcing two
more runs across the plate making the
score at the finish IA to4 in favor of
the Pikers.
In the afternoon the winners of the
morning games, Empire and Pikers,
Ayed the deciding game for the cham
pionship and purse. This game was
more one-sided than either of the morn
ing games, the Pikers easily defeating
Empire by the score of IA to2. Mitch
ell pitched the game against Silver
Plume for the Pikers and did splendid
work and received excellent support.
Hamill pitched the afternoon game
against Empire and had the opposing
batter at his mercy all through the
game. The article of baseball put up
by the Pikers team as whole, proved
conclusively that it will take better
team than can be found around this
country to defeat them. They have
played five games and have won them
all and the team that defeats them
will have to play mighty good base
ball. The manager for the Pikers is
negotiating for a game with Central to
be played here, and if he succeeds in
obtaining a game it will be worth
going long ways to see.

ORCHARD GETS

reduction OF the penalty to life impris-
onment.
Judge Woods arraignment Of the
leaders OF the Western Federation of
Miners was most severe, and he stated
further that there could be no good
purpose served by executing Or.hard at
this time, and that the demand for tax

his sccomplices aud their apologists
and defenders. In regard to Orchard .
testimony Judge Wood said:
81 am now IN re than satisfied that
the defendant now at the bar OF this
court awaiting final sentence has not
only acted in good faith in making the
disclosures that he did. but that he also
testified fully aud fairly TO the whole
truth, Withholding nothing that WAS ma
leri4l, and declaring nothing which had
not actually taken place. During the
two trials 10 which have referred the
testimony of the defendant covered d
long series OF transactions, involving
personal relations between himself and
many others. In the FIRST trial he was
subjected to the most critical cross
examination by very able counsel for a.
least six days, and do not now recal
that at any point he contradicted him
self in any material matter, but on thu
other hand, disclosed his connection
with the commission of many othe
crimes that were probably not knowI
to the authorities for the state, at leas
not brought out by them on the direc
examination of the witness.
'.Upon the second trial referred to tn
same testimony was given. mos
thorough and critical cross-examinatio
of the witness followed and in no parti,
ular was there any discrepancy in a ma
/ terial matter between the testimon
given upon the latter trial, as compare

fear Of being disfranchised in the event
of Democratic success.
Our state constitution, containing the
provision directed against the Moriaons.
WAS adopted in 1889. In 1890 the pres
ident of the Mormon church issued
manifesto. which was adopted by the
church, which was, In substance an
agreement, that from that date the
Mormons would neither teach, adviee
nor practices polygamy OF plural mar
riages. The Mormons contend they
have, as u whole, lived up to the terms
OF that agreement, and the anti-Mor-
innos contend they have not. Tho
courts are the only tribunals having
power and authority to determine the
question, and it could have been deter
mined at any time since 1890, by taking
it into the courts.
An action was commenced more than
year ago against Judge Bulge, Nor
mon, in which his. right to hold Office
was questioned. and the entire Mormon
controversy must Of necessity, be gone
into in thar proceeding, and it must ul-
timately be passed upon by the supreme
court. Should that court decide, after a
review Of all the evidence, that the Nor
mon contention is correct, and that
those people do not teach, advise or
prac-i polygamy or plural marriages,
that Will settle the matter as the consti-
tional provision, referred to would not be
applicable to existing conditions. II, on
the other hard, that court should hold
the Mormons do, as matter OF fact,
teach, advise or practice polygamy or
plural marriages, that also will deter
mine the question, as il is admitted by
the attorneys for Judge Bulge that the
provision mentioned is self-operative,
and, under those circumstances no Nor
mon could vote in Idaho.
As the Mormon issue is now in the
courts, and as plank in political plat
form cannot settle it. lat us leave il tc

To Democratic
Voters Of Idaho
Your Attention is Respectfully Di-

Given Below.


AS the politicvl campaign approaches
it becomes more and more apparent this
is to be Democr attic year.
Owing to the disastrous conditions |
prevailing throughout the country,
brought about by the so-called finsnciers,
who, to grady their lust for gain, have
brought ruin to hundreds Of thousands,
the establishment of soup kitchens and
boasted "full dinner pail" the closing
down of manufacturing establishments,
the throwing out Of employment of mil
lions of working men. the reduction of
wages. and untold misery on countless
thousands, the people are looking to the
Democratic party to point the. way to
prosperity and bring their suffering to
an end by attacking and depriving OF
their power the trusts and monopolies
that own and control the Republican
party.
That is the primary objective point of
Democracy this year, and the people
generally, are willing to east aside every
other issue, in order to bring about that
result.
bent upon assisting, SO far as possible,
in the election of Bryan, there is no
doubt in our minds that we can carry
the state for him, and al-o redeem the
J state itself from Republican rule.
There is but one question upon which
the Democratic party OF Idaho is divided,
and that is the so-called Mormon ques-
T tion, and we are firmly Of the opinion
it should be eliminated from our state
platforms, as a politic~l question and
