First Attempt at Murder Orchard Spent Much Time in Finding Oat His Way 8 in Going Home Before Being Successful. ' . Bbiee, Idaho, Feb. 28. Bit fey bit the full' story of the prearranged: plans for' the' assassination' of ex Gbverrior Steunenberg is ' sifting from fceheatbr the' lid. ' The etory .of the murder by the bomb has' been told ;-so-' haVtbestory rf the plan to shoot him on Christmas 6 vb. MISSED FIRST tbattbere' was a, secret back en trance to 26 Broadway, and further investigations have led to the belief that there are' other secret under ground pasageB'wlth exits' in ad joining buildings: in ifll- there wisTe" threrefforte to i' aHw derldahd'e' fexgovernorV and the story of the'' first alterant' leaked oat today for the first' time; "a told by Hairy Orchard id ' hie" conies1; Orchard first arrived in Caldwell 'early' in7 November, and -stayed there for two weeks. During" this visit he boarded with a man named W. H. Schenck, out near f the Steu nenberg' home.- For the first couple of days he had no . visitors.. . Each morning when ' Orchard ' left his boarding house it was noticed: that he turned toward ex Governor Steu-' nenberg's residence and scouted around the country, getting inform ation about the ex-governor's hab its and taking in the 'topography of the country. ' ", After Orchard had been living with tbe bebencke about a week a couple of men answering ; the' de scription1 of Jack Simkins and Steve Adams began calling upon bim in the evenings. Sometimes they came together and eometimi-s only one would call- Orchard be gin boarding with Scheuck Nov. 7 and remained unitl Nov. 22, and it was between these dates that the first atrompt to assassinate the ex governor was made. According to Orchard s conies- eion, the same bomb which finally accomplished its fiendish pnrpose was made by the three men between these dates, and it was placed across path which the murderers knew the ex-governor was wont to travel, going to and from his' home to the bank in Caldwell. By spying upon Steunen berg's habits, Orchard learned' that Sieaoenbergj when he reached the end of the sidewalk, took a certain path to bis residence. With this knowledge in their possession, the assassin!- waited in Caldwell until the ex-governor started home. The man who was to place the bomb across . the path harried after his victim and ob tained a lead of some 200 yards. The other murderers ; kept a safe distance behind, lie carried a lan tern and at a given signal the man who bad gone in' front stopped, placed the bomb on one Side of the trail. The bomb bad a piece of wire attached to it, and this wire was fastened to a stake which was pushed into the soft ground on the other side of the trail.. Unconscious of the terrible fate which waited him, ex-Governor Steunenberg walked over the patb, and instead of striking the wire and Betting off the bomb he stepped over it. St. Petersbuag, Feb. 27. Great wrath has been roused in Liberal circles' by the publication of a letter from Mile. Spiridpncvo, the 10-old-girl who shot M. Luzhnendffeky, chief of the: secret police at Tamboff in which she described the' Indig nities and brutalities to which she was subjected. Oh account of her youth and self- sacrifice in execut ing the sentence against M. Luzb euoffaky, who was detested on ac count ot his cxuelty in uppeBBing tbejpeasant .disorders1, ebe had been made one of the fieroinea'bf the rev olution and is called a" secbud Char lotte Corday. . ,; , .... - The letter says that' ; . after , the" shppting , of LuzhenpffskyV whbsef bodyguard of Cossacks did.not save him from five wen-aimed builete: Mile SpiridonQvb'waBVnocie and beaten with the ' whips of the Coaeacke and rifle butte.'

Mile. Spiridonovo Is now In . a hbsni'tal in a' serious condition. Her skull is fra6turedin two place's, one eye, is injured, and her body ift a mass of bruised from" head to foot.

Rock' efeller have iuet made a most disa greeable ' discovery. . They have learned to their astonishment and chagrin that there is a private and secret passageway between the home of the oil king at No. 4 West Fifty fourth street and the residence of his son-in-law, E. Paralee Pren tice, at 'N67. 5 West Fifty-third street. F01 week" the sleuths have been wondering why they could not catch the elder Rockefeller. Henry Wollman Eaid today: '?If we had $10000 we could hire 5U process servers, and tben X sup pose we could get. hands on Rocke feller somehow, or sometime, but our present force has been baffled by the; passageway between his home and that of his son-in-law and by multitudinous passageways in the Standard oil building at 26 Broadway." It was only last week .discovered Snribtueiot. Ohio', Feb. 28. Ex cept for the soldiers dn guard there are no signs this morning Of last night's rioting.

Knife Striking a Card-Case in His Pocket SaveHls'LifeViotim PoViraes ' 'His - Assailants, . ,y QrabrOhei bM ; Loses His Hold, Salem, Or., Feb 27. Paul Rader who came to this city today, intend ing to organize an anti-saloon league, while walking on a Bide street about 6i30 this evening near' analley way, was attacked by one of two men who met bim; and was stabbed ov er the heart with a long knife, the blade of which stuck in a pocket book in his- vest pocket, Which probably saved bim from : serious oonsequences. Rader grappled with bis assail ant, and both rolled into the mud, but the fellow escaped from him and ran-as did his companion. As the assailant struck at Rader, be eaid.v " '.-,. ..Yoft-' stoolpigeon; I'll fix you." Rader threw up bis left arm and received a severe cnt three inches long on tbe band. Rader thinks the man came on the ' same train with bim from Portland. He de scribes him as being five feet six, 3O years old, black felt bat, black mustache, slouchy aopearance, equare-cot toat, with sou.s. appear ance of being an ItaliaD. Officers are searchibgthe city for the thug. Paul Rader came to Salem from Wood burn this morning to attend a meeting of Salem pastors tonight. He is staying . with bis brotner, Ralph Rader, at tbeBrowh boarding bouee on summer street. He is ac companied by H. L. McCabe, the minor who was engaged to procure evidence against divekeepers in Portland. When seen tonight, Ra der gave a full account of the at tack upon him. He said: "I left the house about 6:30 and went south on Summer street to Cuemeketa and crossed over to the west eide of Summer. Two men were standing on ' tbe sidewalk at the corner, but I did not pass them, as I cut across tbe corner on the grass and went across Chemeketa street. The two men followed me. As I reached the other side of tbe Btreet one of tbe men said, 'Pard- ner,' and I partly turned and asked, 'What is it?' He eald: , " 'Which way is the depot from here?' "I am a stranger in Salem and had to think a moment, but as soon as I got my bearings I raised my umbrella to point the direction. At that instant one man hit me in the back of the head and the other who was at my Bide, struck me in the left breast. I was not looking at him and did not see a knife. -1 threw up. my left arm to guard my self end felt a knife drawn across the back of my left band. "The two men broke and ran west on Chemeketa street over a sidewalk partly torn up, and I took after them. As they turned into the alley I caught the coat of the man who stabbed me, but just then I tripped over a fallen fence and lost my hold. I was shouting for assistance, and some college boys came. 1 lelt tnem to watcn while I went back to the house after a re volver, but we could find nothing of the men, and I went to the sher iffs office and reported the assault. "I would know the man' if I Bhould see him again. I saw him on the car platform at Woodburn, and I noticed that as he passed through the car he looked at me closely. I met him this afternoon ae 1 was crossing Court Btreet, b did not notice him paying any par ticular' attention to me. 1 "I am not disposed to tnfbk any obe hired him or advised him' to make the assaults When he spoke to me tonight he was close to me, and I noticed a strong smell of liq uor on his breath." The pocket-book which' stopped the assassid's knife is a small leath er ; card-case, ; containing about a dozen cards. The knife cut qui t'e a hole in the coat, went through the vest, through one thickness of leath er and half a1 dozen cards', showing tbat a hard blow must have been struck. The out across1 the1 hand was made as the i knife was with drawn. - Dr Byrd eewed up the wound, taking two stitches. Wen he appeared at the sheriffs office and when Been tonigbt Rader showed ho appearance of - excitement. Washington , Feb. 23, Tbe house committee on interstate and foreign commerce - was considering a bill, providing for a new revenue cutter to replace the old one tbat had long been in use on Puget Sound. The bill was earnestly advocated by Representative Francis W. Cush man, tbe long, lank and lean mem ber of the House who lives on .the Souadw Finally a statement was made as to the condition-of the cut ter and it was said to be old and almost out of date. "The plates" said tbe. statement." are so thin that you can see through them." "Just like Coshmau," interject, d Representative C. H. Burke, ot South Dakota. And following tbe laugh at Cush man's expense the bill was favora bly reported. Ithaca, N. Y., Feb. 24. Andrew p. White, former ambassador to Germany, in an address before Cor nell students last night came out strongly in favor of lynching. He quoted Goldwin Smith as saying tbat there were communities in tbe United States where lynch law was better than any other and excoriat ed the maudlin protest against the summary disposal of murderers and ravishers. He said only one iu 46 murderers were legally executed. "Within the next year" he contin ued, "9,000 persons will be brutally killed or destroyed by human hye nas. My sympathy goes out to them and their families, not to tbe fiends who willdenroy them. When we consider that 45 out of every 46 murderers escape punishment, is it any wonder that outraged cornmun itiea take measures to protect them selves? Lynching a brute is on a par of BtampiDg out a rattlesnake and those in peril are tbe best judg es of methods." ac ceueiounuin. Born to tbe wife of V. M. Wood cock, Feb. 26, a eon.
