Haywood On Stand.
Haywood, cool and collected, took tha
stand immediately on resumption or tne
afternoon session. He said that he was
borri In Salt Lake City, his father was
born In Ohio and his mother in England.
In early life his father was a pony ex
press rider, later he became a miner
and died when tha witness was 3 years
old. His stepfather was a miner. He
worked for him, beginning when ha waa
t years old. He had worked aa a miner
all hla life, excepting a few years, when
he essayed real estate business In Salt
Lake City, but tha panic put him out of
business. Ha waa married In 1889. His
wife bas been a hopeless Invalid since

in Silver City, becoming a charter mem
ber of tha local at that city. He was
secretary of the union when the trouble
occurred In the Coeur d'Alenes. He
never knew Steunenberg personally. He
had been a reader of the Miners' Maga
lne ever since It started.
His union and he personally took
part In the Coeur d'Alene troubles by
sending a committee there to lnveati-
Sate the permit system inaugurated by
t.nnnnhtrt. ' He -circulated a petition
among townspeople and raised f 1,000 fr
use in relieving starvation among the
miners' families, who were then in the
bull pen. Union members were also as
sessed for the same purpose.
Havwood made a rood witness, his
answers being positive aad comprehen
sive. He explained the loss of his eye,
which mars his face, by Baying that he
stuck a knife In It while a very young
child. ; .
, He swore that the congressional re
port on conditions In the Coeur d'Alenes
was due to efforts of the Silver City
union, which sent a-committee to Wash

693 Vancouver avenue, to H. Bloom, a
junk dealer, aa he pulled the tatter's
whiskers on a Union avenue car several
nights ago, after Bloom had called him
to acoount for crowding against him.
The second-hand dealer with the Dave
Warfleldian hirsute appendage, resented
such conduct by rushing to police head
quarters and securing a warrant for the
arrest of Kellocher on a charge of as
sault, hence the police court proceed
ings this morning.
From the testimony adduced it ap-
pear that Kellocher, who weighs In the
neighborhood of 260 pounds, was vio
lently thrown against Bloom by the car
starting too suddenly and the latter
thereupon became exceedingly hostile.
At the climax of the argument which
ensued, Kellocher grabbed Bloom ny tne
beard and earcaatically referred to the
whiskers as "lace curtains."
Bloom testified that his assailant bad
