Washington, Jan. 6.-FTiendship for
Scranton associates with whom he had
lived and worked for years was the
motive that led Judge Robert W.
Archibald of, the commerce court to
negotiate with officials o the Erie and
Lehigh Valley railroads over settle
ruent Of coal land matters, and induced
him to indorse certain notes, according
to statements OF the accused jur1st to-
day when he took the stand at the i'm
peachment court in his own behalf.
He gave a history OF the transac-
tions upon which the house based it's

He denied he tried to get credit from
lfdgants and possible litigants in his
court and declared he never tried to
conceal his interest in the Katydid

Mrs. Archibald preceded her husband

CUBS GAME

The Cubs of this city played a
Occur d'Alene team a game of ball
here last Sunday and administered a
stinging defeat to them, the hual
score being 10 to 2, in favor Of St.
Maries.
The game, like most of the games
played here this season, was too one
sided to be interesting. The Cubs
outplayed their opponents at every
turn aud at no time was the result in
doubt.
With the strong regular team that
we have here the fans lose sight of
the other team entirely aud they are
not given the encouragement that
they should have. They are really a
strong aggregation of ball tosssrs,
considering their age, and are deserv-
ing Of a more liberal patronage than
lie given them.
