It is alleged that the land looters were able quietly to get this matter fixed in congress and slipped into law without attention. The announcement has caused a sensation. tonight.

Tomorrow morning Judge Wood will charge and instruct the jury and they will retire to consider their verdict. Senator Borah laid the foundation for his argument last night. This morning he began an analysis of the evidence but he confined himself to the murder of Steunenberg and the conspiracy. He linked Orchard to Haywood, Haywood to Simpkins, Simpkins to Moyer and Moyer to Pettibone. Then, selecting only the evidence to the witnesses for the defense and leaving Orchard's confession out, he wove the lives and movements of the five men together.

Without departing from the record, and incidentally clearing up a number of situations left somewhat cloudy, he brought these officers and members of the Western Federation of Miners together. Then he took Orchard away from Denver and back again to Denver, to the headquarters of the federation. This was done carefully and almost monotonous-i, like the quiet before the storm and then Borah's voice and manner changed and he sprang into action. With voice quivering, hand upraised and fingers outstretched, he exclaimed "Steunenberg is to die in thirty days and they are moving on the scene." The dramatic utterance and tense figure of the pleader, sent a thrill through the court room. For a space of ten seconds there was si' ice and Lead by friends who sorrowed that he had been called from this life.

The wild West you came to see is then relaxing, Borah continued with his merciless logic. He brought Davis, Copley, Adams and Easterly, all officers or members of the Western Federation of Miners, in touch with Orchard. Without a pause he drew picture after picture of the men associating together at various points.

From each place and fresh from crime he brought Orchard back home to Denver. And then smiling he leaned toward th ejury to ask "Why why always back to Denver, unless there it was to find protection and pay of his employers."

minute air, nolonger suggests even to the most imaginable eastern mind the old-time wild West, without some extemporized trimmings. It is indeed a far cry from the old frontier to the progressive, look-alive air of the Cheyenne today, but they have reached out into the country where the wild and wooly still thrives, somewhat subdued, and have transplanted the whole thing to Cheyenne. Cowboys real, genuine cowboys at that are dashing about the streets on range ponies; chaps, with hair trimmings are as common as tuxedos around the Brown Palace at dinnertime, and a stray Indian can be found on nearly every corner, getting a crick in his neck by looking at the big buildings. So you are really in the wild West again; really seeing and living in the stirring times of the frontier days when the West was still in swaddling clothes, and no man spoke ill of his neighbor. Cheyenne is the only town in the world where this sort of a celebration should be held.

There are others where an attempt is made, but it is like unto the low comedian trying to play high tragedy. First, and perhaps most important of all, they have the atmosphere here. They have the great, wide-open Western air, that no place in the world can attain, because no other place knows how. This is the real West, anyway, and none else can be just as good. very much.

Warner, commissioner of pension one of the prominent member; of President Roosevelt's cabinet and a leading politician of Illinois for thirty years, has gone into court in this city and sworn that his stepmother, Mrs. Isabella Robinson-Warner, is of negro blood. The climax in the Warner will case, in which the commissioner of pensions is vitally interested as an heir of John Warner, came with the filing by the respondents of av amended answer making the startling charge.

The estate of John Warner, who was Commissioner Warner's father, is valued at nearly 2.000,000 and the widow is fighting for her dower rights. Vespacian Warner, who is executor, alleges, however, that an ante-nuptial agreement, made by Isabella Robinson, later Mrs. John Warner, and his father, stands in the way of the widow's claim, and that, furthermore, his stepmother deceived, his father by concealing from him the fact that she was part Degress.
