HARRY ORCHARD.

promised immunity and that it will
never be given him.
People of Boise are divided in
opinion as to whether Orchard was in
reality the tool of the officials of the
Western Federation committing
murders and other crimes at the be-
hest of the inner circle" or whether
his confession was wrung from him on
promise of immunity as part of gi-
gantic conspiracy to railroad the labor
leaders to the gallows and disrupt the
union. The prayerful, pious, psalm
singing Orchard of today, compared
with the ruthless assassin of yester-
day. is an anomaly that no psycholog-
! ical investigator has yet been able to
| explain. Arch assassin or arch hypo-
crite-this is a question that no one
has yet been able to answer. If Or
chard has told the truth about himself
this man who is considered a fit sub
ject for the clemency of the Idaho
pardon board committed or had guilty
knowledge of the following crimes in
addition to the Steuneberg murder:
The blowing up of the Bunker Hill
and Sullivan Mill in Idaho in 1899;
the murder of Martin Gleason, man.
ager of the Wild Horse mine of Grip
pie Creek, COL, in 1901; the murder
in 1901 of j. w. Barney, non-union
shift boss in the Smuggler- Union mine
at Telluride, COL; the killing, the next
year of Wesley ]. Smith, another nom
union shift boss in the same mine, as
well as the murder of Arthur L. Col
Inns, manager; the murder of Supt
Mccormick and Foreman Beck of the
Vindicator mine of Victor, in 1903;
in 1904, the blowing up,of the rail-
road depot at independence by which
fourteen men were killed; in 1905, the
wrecking of the power house of the
Colorado Springs Electric company;
the hiring of man to poison to death
his former associate, Neville, at Gold
field, because Neville suspected that
Orchard was the man who caused the
Independence explosion. Orchard also
confessed that he had laid bomb in
the path of Chief Judge Gabbart of
Colorado by which an innocent man
was killed, that he had buried a bomb
at the gate to the residence of Judge
/ Gcddardof Denver, who escaped death
f by chance, and that he plotted the
death of Gov. Peabody, of Colorado,
who several times was within a few
inches of death. Gen. Sherman Bell,
he said, also was the subject of sever
|al attempts. ALL of these crimes he
claimed were inspired by Haywood and
his associates.
Because of the many unsuccessful
attempts that Orchard declared he
made to assassinate certain men, the
defense in the Haywood and Petit
bone trials argued that his story was
largely fabrication, based on certain
mysterious murders that had actually
been committed and worked up large

GODS COUNTRY.

You may talk about your cities
With thier culture and their gold,
And their palaces of marble
And their archives dim and old
But for me the wide-fiung prairies
With the fragrance of the hay,
And the call Of mating songsters,
And the sunset clouds at play.
You may talk about your music,
You may talk about your art,
And your operas Italian
All to fill the hungry heart;
But for me the virgin forest
With it's tangled maze of vines;
And the wind-swept harps of nature
Ger the hills and through the pines
You may talk about your churches
And your grand cathedral spires
Where, on man-erected affairs,
Feebly burn celestial fires;
But for me, the arch of Heaven
Gilded with sunset bars,
And the hand of God in nature
Pointing pathways to the stars.
