Boise, Idaho, July 24. The In
spection for contagious foot rot, In
addition to scab, among sheep will
lie very rigid this fall, according to
Dr. George E. Noble, state veterlnar
Ian. He stated that none of the dls
eased animals will be allowed to cross
the fall Inspection line when' they
come off the summer ranges.
"Heretofore we paid llttle'or no at
tentlon to foot rot, as only a few cases
were prevalent In the state," he said
In an Interview. "The campaign
gainst the disease this fall Is to pre
vent It from spreading. The sheep
men have not paid any attention to
this disease In the past, but will be
required to do so this fall and to re
port any cases so that they may be
cleaned up at once.
"There are two kinds of foot rot
One Is contracted by sheep standing
In mud and and filth. This form Is
not contagious and Is easily cured by
removing the animal to dry ground.
The second comes from a germ and
Is communicable, requiring a course
of treatment to cure the afflicted
sheep and to prevent the disease from
spreading to other members of the
flock."
Theveterlarlan Is preparing a bul-

a complaint, "illegally acquired" as

by which the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific railways secured

April 20, 1901, says a suit filed In
Ramsey county at St. Paul this after
noon.
Clarence H. Venner, a stockholder,
Ik the plaintiff, and summons was
served on James J. Hill several days
ago.
Mr. Vernier alleges that James, J.
Hill was until April last president of

ficers and directors of the road entcr
ed Into a scheme to obtain In union

Boise, July 24. Darrow for the de
fense said :
"We will have to leave to you event
ually the Interests of these defendants,
and It rests with you to see that every
argument made against this man and
his fellows rests absolutely on sound
evidence. It Is not Haywood's fate
that Is in the balance: it is the fate of
a great and worldwide movement,
and we must ask you to carefully ex
amine every bit of evidence.
"For more than a year and a half
this community has been poisoned by

Jury has been fed upon such stories
and naturally must be hostile, but we

"Gentlemen, nowhere in the civiliz
ed world would any lawyer attempt
to try a case on such weak evidence
as has been Introduced by the state,
were he not relying upon hostile pre
judgment. Haywood Is charged with
the murder of Steunenbcrg. He was
not here when the crime was com
mitted. "There might be some member of
this jury who would hesitate to take
this man's life on Orchard's perjured
word, but might have a lurking sus
picion that he knew something about
it and would want to Bend him to the
penitentiary. Don't do it. Haywood
Is not a coward. If he is guilty, hang
him by the neck until he Is dead, but
If he is Innocent, release him. Don't,
for God's sake, compromise."
Darrow bitterly attacked Hawley.
Intimating he believed him Insane, and
declared he lied when ho said there Is

Haywood if the evidence of Orchard
was left out entirely. He declared

"Hawley said everybody lied- but
Orchard, and he Insisted that all other
witnesses were perjurers," continued
Darrow. "I think he is suffering
from Orchardltls. He a friend of la
bor? God forbid! He is the hired
man of the state, and wants to hang
another scalp, that of "Bill" Haywood,
on his belt to honor his declining
years."
Darrow defended the testimony of
Davis and Easterly. "Remember one
thing: Davis was safe In Nevada, but
he had read Orchard's damnable
story and came over and placed his
neck In a noose and gave the other
end to Hawley to say that Orchard
lied. I don't care whether Davis was
at Bunker Hill mill or not. There Is
not one of you 12 men who would
refuse to take the hand of Davis, and
you would all refuse to take the hand
of that cringing murderer, Harry Or
chard." Darrow bitterly attacked Orchard's
religious professions, and declared he
was also posing as a Christian when
at his home In Canada he burned
down a cheese factory, collected the
Insurance and ran away with a neigh
bor's wife.
He then reviewed Orchard's story
at length, characterizing each of his
Important statements as lies told for
the purpose of saving his own misera

could point to one act of Orchard's
craven career which was not coward

Darrow characterized those who
have talked about Orchard's regen

"I myself never asked for the life of
a human being," continued Darrow.
"I don't believe In it. If the time
ever comes for a court to pronounce
the death sentence on Orchard and no
other voice Is heard, I will at least
petition that he be spared."
At 11:40 court recessed until 6 p. m.
Darrow then will resume his argu

OF WALLA WALLA
IMPROVEMENTS HELD UP
PENDING DECISION
Alleged That the City Is Already In
' Debt Too Much to Warrant the
Bond Issue Which Is Protested by
. the Harris Trust and Savings Bank
Controversy Over Validity of
9133,000 Water Bonds.
Walla Walla. .July 24. Walla
Walla's new city hall and fire station,
work on which was discontinued sev
eral days ago because of a rumor of
a difficulty experienced In floating
city bonds Issued for that purpose, is
likely to be delayed for some time,
City Clerk Hart having received word
that the Harris Trust and Savings
bank at Chicago had refused to ac
cept the bonds, declaring them to be
Illegal.
It Is claimed that the city Indebted
ness is now too great to warrant the
issuance of bonds. The trouble cen
tors about the 1133,000 water bonds
Issue, which the city declares should
not be counted In the city indebted
ness, because it will be paid out of
water revenues. The bonding com
pany, however, Insists that this Is a
part of the city debt, and the city Is
too heavily loaded with debt.
A meeting of the city council has
been called for tomorrow night to de
termlne some line of action. A num
ber of other bids have been sub
mitted, and It is the purpose to let
some other company have the con
tract for the purchase of bonds at as
early a date as possible, so that work
may be resumed on city buildings.
April 1 the total net city Indebted
ness amounted to $258,309.71, minus
the water debt and assets. The full
Indebtedness was IS03.174. Ninety
two per cent of this amount, $588,000,
represents the water debt and includes
the $133,000 Item, which comprised
the water purchirse bonds. The city
assets April 1 were $78,858.21.
The city holds a certified check for
$5400, which will be forfeited If the
bid Is withdrawn.

Districts Are Projected and Will
Rapidly Be Carried Out WW Em
ploy a Large Force of Men for Sev
eral Weeks Intended to Complete
the Work Before the Fall Rains Set
In Citizen Waiting for Grades to
Begin Laying Sidewalks.
Pendleton is now on the eve of
more street and sidewalk Improve
ment than has ever been known In
its history. When all of the improve
ments now contemplated are finished
the city will present a much better
appearance, and the residence streets
and crosswalks will not be afflicted
with the mud that has made life
miserable In some sections during the
past few years.
Plans are now under way for the
macadamizing of about 40 blocks In
the residence district, and it is pre
sumed that bids for the work will be
opened at the council meeting this
evening. Last Wednesday was the
time set for opening the bids, but as
but one had been presented at that
time the opening of the bids was de
ferred. '
" The section to be macadamized cov
ers West Webb street from the railroad
crossing to the edge of town: West
Alta from Garden to Chestnut: East
Court street from Byers .'mill to the
mill race; and Raley street, (on the
north side), from Bush street to the
city limits. To macadamise these
streets will require the work of a large
crew of men for many weeks, and It
Is the Intention of the council to have
It completed before the bad weather
sets in.
Sidewalk Improvement.
Aside from the street Improvement
a vast amount of sidewalk improve
ment is also to be done in the near
future. According to Street Com
missioner Robert Fletcher, there are
dozens of householders who are now
planning to build concrete sidewalks
adjoining their homes. Just now they
are waiting until the sidewalk grades
can be defintely established. Com
missioner Fletcher has recommended
that the city engineer do this work
so as to save the property owners the
expense of a survey, and such will
probably be done. When the grades
are established, many concrete walks
will be laid, and also many new
wooden walks.
Sixty-two Crosswalks. .
The city itself will also participate
In the general Improvement, as many
et the present crosswalks are defec
tive. On a recent Investigating tour
the street commissioner found that 62
of the crosswalks were in such shape
as to require replacing. These will
be rebuilt soon. '
For some time past the members
of the street committee have been
investigating the various kinds of ma
terial for crosswalks, and there is a
possibility that the wooden walks may
bo replaced with stone or some other
more durable material.
