A despatch from Boise. Idaho, says: For three hours and half on \Wcdneeday Barry Orchard sat in the evilness chair at the Haywood trial and recited n his- tory of crimes and bkodslxd, the like o1, which no person in rho crowded ltiort rano had ever imagined. Ther,' was nothing theatrical abed the ap- pearance on the stand of this witness upon whose testimony the whole ease against ilaywood, Mayer and the other leaders of the Western Federation of Miners is lased, 11 was a horrible, • e - veiling, sickening story, but he told It as simply a' the plainest narration of the most ordinary incident of the most humdrum existence. To Haywood the stone was of vital Interest. 11e sat with his lawyers sur- rounding hint in such a position that he could fix his gaze on Orchard unin- terruptedly, but so placed that oniy those very near his chair could see his face. From first to last he gave un- wavering intention, and when occa- sionally Orchard turned his eyes on his old comrade whom he was denouncing 'ss a procurer of assassination Haywood stet them squarely and unflinchingly. Mrs. Haywood sal beside her husband all day, but tkeir daughters did not cane to court until the afternoon: Hay - wood's mother, Mrs. (Withers, and his half sister, Miss Crothers, sat near his wife. AN ONTARIO MAN. Harry Orchard when called to the stand and sworn gave his residence as the penitentiary. "Are you charged with any crime?" asked Mr. Hawley of the prosecution. "I am charged with the murder of Frank Steunenberg and waiting trial. Answering further questions, he oon- tintted:'"1 was born in Northumberland oounly, Ontario, Canada, in 1866, and am, therefore, 41 years old. (tarry Orchard Ls not my true name. 1 have gone by that name for about eleven years. My true name is Alfred Hors- ley. f came to the United States :n 1896, first to Spokane, where i remain- ed a week. i went lo Wallace, Idaho, in March or April, 1896. i first worked for Markel Brothers, driving a milk wagon, and remained there until about Christmas. 1896. i then went to a wood and coal yard In Burke, Idaho, and was engaged in that business until the spring of 1899, and on my own nc count for two years. in 1898 i sold a half interest in the business to Mr. Mc- Alpir►e. My business in Canada was making cheese. I sold all my interests in the wood yard and event to work mucking in the mines in March, 1899, continuing at it for n month. i immedi- ately became a member of the Western Federation of Miners." COUR D'ALENE TROUBLES. Orchard described the Cour d'Alene country, giving the railway connections between the different cities and mining camps. "Stale what unusual occurrence there was at. Burke upon the morning et April 29, 1599," commanded \I. Hawley. "On the morning of April 29, 1899," said the evilness. "when I got through breakfast 1 was told there was a special sleeting of the union and everybody was expected to be present. i went to the meeting. The meeting \V8 called to order by the secretary, who said it had been decided that day to go to \Vard- ner to blow up the mill at the Sulli- van end Bunker Hill mines and to hang the superintendent. SEIZED NORTHERN PACIFIC TRAiN. "Arrangements had been made to cut the wires along the railroad and lake possession of the Northern Pacific train. At fent we were to be joined 1) the Gens Union, and together we were to proceed to \Vardner. While the Secretary etas telling us what Was planned by the Central Union the Pre- sident of our local came in and said lee had not leen informed of the met- ing. When told the purpose he ob- jected to it and there Was a discussion. The motion to go to \Vardner Was lin- ally carried by a small majority. After the vole nearly every man decided to go. "i'aul Cochran and six other members of fire union look charge of the Irein. we event to Gem and took forty boxes of giant powder. 011CIL\RD LIT ONE FUSE. "There were about 1,000 men on the train. most of Ihenl runlet!. At \Vnrd- ner we were told by W. F. Davis to line' up. The :nen with long g>iins were tole) to tole the front ranks, followed by niers evith six-shooters. We were told to fire upon Ilse mill as wo approached. This we did, and the fire wns returned by the guards. It soon developed that there Were no men there. and we look possession. Powder was placed about the still, and it was blown up. 1 lit one fuse; 1 don't know who Mt the others." Orchard said Iwo men were killed. The name of then Governor Steunen- berg. he said, was mentioned at the )meeting hn 16.•11 described. Orchard Added that ilaywoed paid him $3(0 fe•r bloeving up the \'indicntor mine. and agreed with him for other murders. A CATALOGt'F: OF ('111\11;.

Multi.: TALES OF 1101111013 TO COME. lie has more brutal crimes to tell ot, which will bring his bloody career down to Caldwell, where with a great bomb he killed Steunenberg. The story wes told before an anxious crowd, which glaringly watched every movement and word of the witness; a crowd Mit sick- ened and grew weary of the tearful details. IN PAY OF THE DEFENDANTS. Orchard swore that after his visit Io Denver when he got the money for kill- ing aleCornick and Beck ho was am - staidly in communication and In tine pay el ellher• ilaywood or \layer or Petti- bone, Perkins or Davis; that one or all et them suggested his various erin►c+s rind that at all meetings held after each crime his acts were warmly commend- ed. ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATIONS. Thursday's murder record exhibited accounts of repeated attempts to assas- sinate Gov. Peabody, of Colorado, ex - Adjutant -General Sherman Bell, who commanded the Colorado militia at the strike of Cripple Creek in 1903, Judge Gabbert, and Judge Goddard, of the Colorado Supreme Court, who had ren- dered decisions against Ilse strikers, and Fred Hearne, manager of the Colorado Fusel and Iron Company. None of these was successful, though one attempt to get Judge Gabbert caused the death (.f a mining engineer named Marion \Val- ley. This, aside from the Steunenberg murder, was the most tragic of the day's stories. Orchard said that Potti- t;c•nc and Maywood urged hint to get Judge Gabbert, and that he and Petti- Lene made a tomb for that purpose. It was made like all Use bombs that Orchard has described. THE S"TEUNENBERG MUIIDER. Orchard was not asked to go Into detail about the Stewienberg murder. The story has been told often. Ilut he gave all the essential particulars. told how he and Simpkins has passed under the names of slogan and Sim- monds, how they had made one bomb and set it in vain, how he had tried vainly lo short Steunenberg, and how hr and Simpkins made the tomb that finally killed the ex -Governor. Ile told how, on Ilse evening of Dec. 30, he saw the ex -Governor sitting in the lobby d the Saratoga Hotel, how he hustled up k his room and got the bomb, wrapped it up in a newspaper, and hurried to the Steunenberg: house and planted it outside the gate, with the usual at- tachment of a string, fastened it to the gate and connecting with the deadly ffltle bottle of acid. "i hurried away from the house then," he said, "and about two blocks away i passed the Governor. 1 ran as hard as I could then. 1 wanted to get back to the hotel before it went cif, but i went Into the bar-roorn and helped the bartender do up a package he was having trouble with. Then 1 went up to my room." Orchard said he had left a giant cap in his pocket and a bottle of.ecid, and chi: cork came out and set off the cap. 11 made a noise like a gun, he said. and he was afraid everybody would gear it. It burned his mat. too. "flea I event down stairs and event in to dinner," said the witness, and the dreadful tale was coniplelet. , The crowd in the court -room took a deep breath, the first for many minutes. Orchard blinked his eyes rapidly. It was the only trace of emotion he had shown during those two dreadful (lays. llc was not near breaking down, how- ever, for while the lawyers whispered he volunteered a trivial correction cf one detail of his story. RAD REPUTATION IN ONTAIUO. A despatch from Trenton, Ont.. sues: Alfred Ilorsler, alias Orchard, the self- confessed murderer at BOLSe.

Tho care of a forest troe plantation by no nseans ends when the tress Crave been pplanted and have successfully got through their first two or three` years of lite. In a few years the crowns of the trees touch and the strugelo for Iife be- gins. If the trees are allowed to grow straight on without Interference, there comes a time when the growth conks al- most to a standstill. The strength of the trees is taken u with this fight witn eno another for light, ln.stead of in layr- ing on wood. In order to modify this struggle, some of the trees must bo taken out. The ideal stale for a forest Is that the crowns of the trees should just touch each outer; in this condition they do not interfere with one another, while on the other hand they shade the ground com- pletely and pr•eservo its moisture and prevent the humus from being broken uD In theory, of course, thinning should connence W11e3rn the crowns of Iho trees begin to Interfere with one another, and continual thinning should preserve this condition. in practice, this Is often too expensive, and the rule is often given( `"Thin as soon as the thtnnings taken out will pay for tine work of thinning." In all thinning. of course, any Trees that are dead or decayed should bo taken out at once. They are of no possible use, while on the other hand they Wray furnish a chance for insects or for rot - producing fungi to get into tt►e dead or sick trees and thence affect Iho more thrifty trews.
