Perfectly Calm, the Slayer Of Former

Caldwell. Idaho, March Hilary
Orchard yesterday before Judge Ere
mont Wood, in the district court, was
allowed to withdraw his former plea
Of not guilty, entered at his first ar
ralgnment, by order OF the court when
he stood mute and entered another
plea Of guilty to the charge Of murder
in the first degree as charged in the
indictment. Judge Wood will sentence
Orchard on March Is.
Orchard pleaded guilty to having
killed former Governor Steunenberg
by the explosion of a dynamite bomb
at the side gate of his residence here
early in the evening of Dec. 80, 1905
He was arrested for the crime on
Jan. and in February confessed that
he was hired to kill Steunenberg by

II. Meyer, president, and George A.
Pettibone, honorary member OF the
Western Federation OF Miners Hay
wood and Pettibone were tried in
Boise and set free.
The case against Meyer was dis
missed.
Allows Plea to Be Changed.
Judge Wood questioned Orchard As
TO whether he fully understood the
status Of the case, what 1t meant for
him TO plea guilty. and II he undec
stood that to plead guilty to the
charges in the indictment meant
pleading guilty to the charge of first
degree murder.
Perfectly calm. with no indication
of any emotion in face or voice, Orch.
ard answered that he had gone ovec
the matter thoroughly with his at
torney and had made up his mind
definitely. Judge Wood allowed the
plea to be changed and set date fos
sentence.
After the acquittal OF Pettibone the
opinion was expressed in many quar-
ters that Orchard would take advan-
tango of every legal right he might
have to obtain his own release or
light sentence.
The stand he took Tuesday morn
ing was a surprise to most persons
and his attorney says IL was entirely

PIONEER HARNESS MAKER
Henry Guth, Who Died In This City
This Morning.


Henry Guth, the aged and well
known harness maker, died at s:45 a.
m. today at his home on North Front
street, after a long illness with Bright's
disease. A year ago last February he
sustained a stroke of paralysis, but
this did not seem to affect anything
except his speech. For the last three
months he was confined to his house,
but did not have to take to his bed
until yesterday.
Mr.. Guth would have been seventy
three years of age had he lived until
next month. He was born in Germany,
and came to America when a young
man. He first located at st. Louis,
and then in the latter fifties moved to
Mankato, where he engaged with his
brother in the harness business. The
Indian troubles breaking out, he went
to Pittsburg, Pa, but about the year
1865 returned to Mankato and bought
out his brothers interest in the bust
ness and conducted it alone.
The deceased was one of the oldest
members of Hose company No. 2, and
was treasurer of that organization for
many years. He was member of
the Men 5 society OF oC. feIer anu
Paul's Catholic church He was highly
respected by all, and was an excellent
citizen, and his death lis greatly re-
GREETED by his friends, who are only
limited by his acquaintance.
Mr. Guth is survived by his wife.
four sons and three daughters. The
children are Charles, George, Louis,
Henry, Mary and Zita Guth and Mrs.
Joseph Hottinger, all of this city. He
is also survived by two brothers,
Joseph Guth of Staples and Arnold
Guth of Anoka, and two sisters, Mes
DANES Leo Lamm and John Ulman of
this city.
Funeral services will be held Monday
at a. m. at st. Peter and PauPs
Catholic church, and the interment will
be made at Calvary cemetery.

The local hospitals have larger and

hospitals than to get a third one. The

he had heard that a leading local
dentist had knocked" the local hos
pitfalls and physicians within the past
two months, and this man he had to-
day seen wearing a booster button.
Was this the way to help the city?

kato has as capable doctors and better
hospitals than other places. He was
willing to help the project along.
Architect Schippel explained that the
cost of the heating, pluming and equip
ment would be $4,000 to $1,000 in
addition to the $4,000 for the addi-
ton.
Rev. Messerli said that the hospitals
have caused several families to locals,
in Mankato, having been attracted by
the beauty of the city wnen visiting
friends in the hospitals. He knew of
four or five families who had moved
here.
DR.. Holman moved that the project
be given the clubs moral support, and
this was carried.

MAN HAD DISAPPEARED FROM HIS HOME AND NO
TRACE OF HIM COULD BE OBTAINED
Remains Were Discovered Yesterday Cmp Bushes Near Sby
Park May Have Committed Suicide; Fear Of the Jail
~.@- Evidently Caused Him to Worry
From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
The remains of Charles Resin, who
disappeared four weeks ago Saturday
morning, were found yesterday fore
noon near the bank of the Minnesota
river, on the former Burmeister farm
north of Sibley park, by two boys
who were fishing. The lads were
Martin Benson and Walter Sieberg
and as soon as they made the discov-
cry they notified Chief Osten, who
in turn, notified Coroner Kennedy. 1t
was about eleven o'clock when the
body was found, and the officials at
once went to the spot. The flesh
had rotted and dropped from the bones
and the only way that the body could
be identified was by means of the
clothing, which the son of Rosin iden-
titled.
The spot where the body was found
was a secluded one, in the brush west
of the former Burmeister house, now
the property of T. A. Sherk, and north
of the cornfeld. When the river
was at its highest point it is evident
that it submerged the body, and it is
thought possible that it carried the
body there and left it, but not prob
able.
Arrested on Truancy Charge.
1t will be recalled that Rosin was
arrested some five weeks ago upon COM
plant of Truant Officer Edwards, be-
cause he had not kept his fifteen
year old daughter in school. When
arraigned before Judge Comstock ne
said that he wanted the girl to 60 to
school, but that mis- wife did not, and
that if he insisted upon her going it
would cause family trouble and per-
haps a fight The court told him in
strong language that he must either
send the girl to school or the chances
were that he would himself land in
jail, and perhaps also his wife. The
case was then adjourned until the
following Saturday to see whether the
girl was sent to school or not, Rosin
promising that she would 90.
The girl went to school regularly
after that, and on the following Friday.
the day before the time when the case
was adjourned to, Rosin appeared at
Judge Comstock's office and reported
that he had complied with his order.
He was informed that the matter
would have, to come up in court the
following day.
His Disappearance.
That night Rosin went home early
and to bed. His son returned about
eleven o'clock and he was sleeping
