CASE IN CIRCUIT COURT.
Chinaman Asks Damages as Result of
Cayuse Wreck.
Portland, June 8. Charging that
the O. R. A N. company, by Its negli
gence, was responsible for the wreck
at Cayuse on April 10, In which four
lives were lost and a number of per
sons Injured, Lew Wy Hln appeared
In the circuit court this morning to
ask (20,000 damages from the com
pany for Injuries he sustained In the
wreck. The trial of the suit was be
gun before Judge Sears and a jury
was drawn to hear the case.
It Is charged that the roadbed at
Cayuse, where the train plunged Into
the Umatilla river, was defective and
unsafe; that the rails were worn and
dangerous; that the ties were rotten
and broken, and that the flanges on
the wheels of the cars and engine
' were worn and unfit for use. These
charges are made to prove that the
negligence of the railroad company
was the primary cause of the wreck.
Lew Wy Hln. a Chinaman, who was
on the train, alleges that he sustained
a broken back when the train went
Into the river, disabling him for life.
He aslts $20,000 damages for his In
juries. The company alleges that the acci
dent was caused by the formation of a
spring under the roadbed by the
heavy downpour of rain and that it
was a trouble that could neither be
foreseen nor guarded against. The
first witness called this morning was
David Hlrstel, a civil engineer, who
testified as an expert witness regard
ing the condition of the grade at the
point where the wreck occurred. Ad
ditional evidence is being heard this
afternoon.

nint Uock, June 8 A remon
strance' is being circulated by A. J.
Sturtevant to atop the railroad from
building Into the town of Pilot Rock.
It is understood that Mr. Sturte
vant had slreody given deeds to the
Umatilla Central for two lots, but
on learning that the railroad was to
lay Its track along' Main street, on
which Mr. Sturtevnnt owns some
property, and in order to keep the
railroad frcm going further south
than Pilot Rock, the complainant
rays he will spend 820,000 to keep
the railroad outside the Incorporated
limits.
Tho city council granted the rail
road a tranchtao .along 'Main street,
but Mr. Sturtevant cwns. two lots
which must be crorsed before Main
street Is reached by the railroad, and
it Is to prevent the company from
crossing theee two lots, which Mr.
Sturtevant refuses to sell at any price
that the suit with the company Is
threatened.
A remonstrance has been circulat
ed In the interest of the complaint,
but It is understood that no signers

company builds Its depot within
certain limitations of the present

Defense Wlil Try to Prove This, and That Orchard Came and
Went on Passports Issued by Mine Owners.
Ex-President of tlie Eureka, Utah, M iners' Federation Now Known to Have
Keen a Spy for the Mine Owner h, and Will be a Witness for the State
at Boise Orchard Insists That II aywood Suggested Killing Governor
Peabudy, and That He, Orchard, Tried Many Times Ineffectually to
Do So A Cloud of Witnesses Arriving at Boise, Both for State and
Defense.
Boise, June 8. That the defense In
tends to try and absolutoly prove
that Orchard while In Cripple Creek
was both in the employ of the Mine
Owners' association and the' Citizens'
alliance there, leaked out this morn
ing when It became known that Ar
thur Cole, former superintendent of
schools at Cripple Creek, and secre
tary of the Citizens' Alliance, is here
to testify for the defense.
Orchard declared In his testimony
he did not know Cole and never saw
him. Cole, It Is learned, Intends to
testify that Orchard was In his em
ploy, and that he, with the mine
owners' detective. Sterling, notified
General Sherman Bell that Orchard
was entitled to go and come at will.
Richardson spent the great portion
of the night Interviewing men Impli
cated by Orchard In his confession,
with the result that he reached the
court today with a dozen notebooks
filled with suggestive questions to fire
at the state's chief witness.
The state also received strong re
inforcements during the night. In the
person of George Redell, discredited
president of the Eureka, Utah, union
of the Western Federation of Miners.
He has been In the employ of the
Plnkerton agency for years.
He worked in the Tellurlde mine.
was known as "Smuggler Union," and

was declared was apparently one of
the most rabid union men. When he
arrived here he was warmly welcom
ed by General Wells and Chief Detec
tive McParland.
Other Witnesses Arrive.
Boise, June 8. Other witnesses
who arrived todny were A. L. Arnold,
secretary of the Mine Owners' asso
ciation at Cripple Creek, and Major
H. A. Naylor of Victor. They also
are among the state'- chief witness
es. When Orchard resumed the stand
Richardson began questioning him
relative- to his operations after re
turning to Denver from Ouray. He
asked him If It were not a fact that
before visiting the Federation head
quarters he had reported his- arrival
to the mine owners' detectives. He
said he had not. He said he went di
rect to Federation headquarter and
saw Haywocd. The question of kill
ing Peabody came up at headquar
ters. Haywood, according to Or-j
chard, telling him he must kill the
governor. He said Haywood told
him he ought to kill him with a shot
gun. He spent a week trying to land
Peabody. Could not say why the op
portunity did not present Itself, as
he knew Peabody went about a good

A week later he went to Cripple
Creek to get Steve Adams to help
him do the Job. He knew Adams
only slightly. He denied absolutely
that he and Adams had been close
friends. Adams came to Denver, he
paying his expenses with the money
furnished by Haywood.
Pettlbone told him to abandon the
attempt on Peabody until the execu
tive board adjourned. He suggested
he kill Lyte Gregory. . He had never
seen ' Gregory before, but knew all
about him. The proposition was put
to him at 4 In the afternoon and the
killing was accomplished before mid
night. .
Wanted Help to Kill Peabody.
Boise, June 8. Asked If he needed
help to kill Peabody, he could not
explain, mere than he did not want
the job along. He got a couple of
shotguns from Pettlbone to do the
job with. He gave up the shotguns
because he feared discovery, and then
. decided to 'resort to the bomb to re
move Peabody.
$100 for Killing Gregory.
Boise, June 8. Orchard said ha
got 1100 after killing Gregory from
Haywood. Later he corrected and
said he got it from Pettlbone. Here
Richardson demanded, "How long
did Foster Mllburn stay in Denver
after killing Gregory?" Mllburn Is
the one you've been claiming was
'Mildrln,' who, you say, was with you
when you did the killing, isn't he?"
The witness hesitated a moment
and flaally said possibly he was the
same man; that he stayed some time
in Denver.
"You have wrlten and rewritten
your statements made on your direct
examination many times, have you
not?" "I have."
"And when Hawley told you to re
sume In narrative form your story,
he had reference to what you had
written, and what he had read, did he
not?"
."I don't know. I have written the
story of my life. I began It a year
ago nnd went over it time and time
again, ro as to have It properly writ-"

The witness then denied he had
changed his story on the suggestion
of Detective McParland, or that It
had been changed so that Moyer,
Haywood, Pettlbone and Slmpklttl
would be Implicated In his crimes.
Personal Motive in Killing Steunen
berg. He admitted telling Slmpkins that
if Steuncnberg had not been Instru
mental In driving him out of the

effect tomorrow by all of the rail
roads running west from this city.
The new schedules are the result of
several months of Joint deliberation.
The time for the fastest passenger
trains between this city and Omaha
will be Increased two hours, that be
tween this city and Kansas City will
be Increased cne hour, and propor
tionate Increases In the minimum run
ning time will be made to nearly all
other points. The time of the
"Limited" trains to Los Angeles will
not be greatly affected, but the timo
between Chicago and San Francisco
will be Increased about four hour.
The railroad officials deny that the
putting on of slower trains is in re
taliation for tho action of the west
ern legislatures in the cutting of
rates. The officials declare that the
schedules that have been In effect
for the past year or more have been
found, too fast for economical opera
tion. Last winter, on account of un
usual weather conditions, few of the
western roads were uble to operate
their trains arcoidlng to schedule. In
Increasing the running time the man
agers are acting In the belief that It
will be more eatltfactory to have
schedules which can be maintained,
even If ordinary delays to trains are
encountered, than to disappoint pas
sengers by delivering them at their
destination later than the schedule
time In case of any delay en route.

Questioning along the line of the
Independence depot explosion was
resumed, Richardson trying to get
the witness to tell Just who he saw
In the Cripple Creek district when
he returned, in order to call them in
rebuttal. He named half a dozen
men that h eraw, but absolutely de
nied seeing either the mine owners
or the latters' detectives.
Orchard Committed Arson.

THE STARTING POINT TO
BE NEAR WALLCLA.
ProiKMed Route Almost Parallel With
J. K. & x. Tracks Line to Enter
Walla Walla on Sixth Street Fran
chise Granted This Line It Is Said
Will Develop a Great Territory
One of Best in Washington.
According to the Walla Walla na.
pers, E. S. Clark, one of the engineers
employed by the North Coast rail
road, will commence surveying the line
or xne road between Wallula and
Walla Walla. It is said that Mr.
Clark Is now securing his crew to
maice the survey for the road and will
start out with his outfit in a few days.
The starting point will be near Wal
lula, though Just at what point Is not
stated.
The proposed route Is to almost par
allel the O. R. & n. tracks, though it
will be aobut two miles south of that
road and will enter a new territory
heretofore untouched by the railroads.
This part of the country Is considered
one of the best in this section of the
state.
President Robert Strahorn of the
North Coast recently stated that the
work on the line would commence
soon and the action of Mr. Clarke is
In line with this statement.
The line will probably enter Walla
Walla on Sixth street, over which a
franchise has been granted the com
pany by the council. The depot
grounds are still undetermined, but
they will probably be selected as soon
as the survey has reached that city.
Mr. Clark Is the engineer who sur
veyed a line between Walla Walla and
Lewiston for the North Coast road,
though whether this will be followed
for the eastern line Is not known. The
line. It Is said, would develop a great
territory, though it would be expen
sive. It is planned to moke the sys
tem one of the greatest In Washing

be In operation on a portion of the
road between Walla Walla and the
coast by the first of January. The
