HE DODGfD
DYNAMITE

Telluride, Colo, Mar 2S.-Former
Adjutant General Buckley Wells mar.
rowly escaped death or serious inju-
ry at his home here early today from
a well planned effort to assassinate
him with dynamite. Gen. Wells, as is
his habit, was sleeping On the porch
of his house, when a stick of dynam-
tie or bomb was exploded under the
bed. He was hurled with the debris
many feet from the house and though
badly shaken up and bruised he is
said to have escaped serious injury.
The side of the house was complet-
ely blown out and the bed demolish-
ed. Gen. Wells took a leading part
in suppressing the labor troubles in
this state and was prominently iden-
titled with the prosecution of the Off
GERS of the Western Federation OF
plicity in the murder of former gov
ernor Steunenberg. He also had been
active in securing the extradition Of
Steve Adams from Idaho, to be tried
here on charges connected with the
| strike of 1904 when several murders
were committed.
Harry Orchard Pardon Case.
Boise, Idaho, Mar. 2S.-The State
Board of Pardon will meet next We'd
nesday and il order to take up for
consideration the matter of RENTING
the sentence of death pronounced up
on Harry Orchard as recommended
by Judge Wood in sentencing him, it
will be necessary for application for
such clemelcy to be filed before that
time. Orchard has refused to make
should pay the full penalty for the
murder of Frank S~teunenberg.
Frank T. Wyman, Orchards attor-
ney, says that if Orchard persists in
refusing he will maxi application to
the Board on his behalf.
The house where the explosion oc-
curred is on the property Of the
Smuggler Union mine at Pandora
two miles from Telluride, of which
Wells is manager. No one else was
in the house at the time. Within a
few hours after the explosion a humid
red deputy sheriffs and citizens were
looking for suspects in the vicinity.
lone suspect was arrested. Wells was
in town this morning with his head
bandaged, out apparently otherwise
none the worse for his experience, al
though unquestionably he had a mar
row escape from death. No trace of
Wells predecessor az manager of the
Smuggler Union mine, Arthur Col
Inns, an Englishma1, was shot to
death several years ago, and Steve
| Adams is in Jail here awaiting trial
for that crime.

Farmers Saved a Bridge.

Is has developed that but for the
timely efforts OF a number OF farmers
living east OF town during the recent
overflow the county would have a
new bridge to build over the big
slough on the east bottom road.
Drift wood and huge logs have piled
up nearly to the bridge decking and
the structure was already threaten
ed when I W. Robertson happened
80 notice 1t. He hastily called to-
gether the farmers In the immediate
neighborhood and all hands worked
faithfully for whole day before the
massive drift was finally released
and the bridge put beyond danger,
The 81 me bridge had another close
call when the big coal barge of the
dredge boat company broke away
from its moorings and struck the
road embankment at one end OF the
bridge with great force. Had II
struck she bridge it undoubtedly
would have been carried away -
