Harry Orchard resumed Tils story today. He said lie kn-iw the man named J. Wolfe, who worked for Pettibone in Deliver. He wrote letters to Pettibone addressing them to Wolfe. Referring to the .Bradley rase in San Francisco, Orchard said he got acquainted with Mrs. Crowe, Bradley's cook and told of fixing a bomb. Referring to yesterday's testimony, Orchard said he "was In Sau "Francisco two weeks and pot money from Pettibone by telegraph. Ho went to Denver, saw Pettibone; told him Bradley was stflji alive. Pettibone said it would be better, if he were dead. He saw Haywood, who said he could have all the money he wanted but to "lay low." Pettibone through Steve Adams gave Orchard $125. He and Adams layed around the home of Judge Gibbert, of the Colorado supreme court, but did not get a chance at him. He had givpn decisions against Moyer.

PICNIC OF RAILROAD MEN ON JUNE 29

Employes of the Richmond Division Hope to Make it "the Greatest Ever." ARE GOING TO SOMERVILLE A SPECIAL TRAIN WILL BE PROVIDED AND THERE WILL BE ALL KINDS OF AMUSEMENTS ON THE GROUNDS. "The greatest picnic erer held by the employes of the Richmond division," is the manner in which all local employes of the Pennsylvania railroad are speaking of the annual frolic and picnic which will be held at Somerville, seven miles from Camden, O., June 29. As that will be Saturday the offices will be 'closed and the entire force, including all those trainmen who are off duty, will go to Somerville on the special train provided for them by the company. It is estimated that between fifteen hundred and two thousand railroad men will be In attendance at the picnic ground when the fun starts. To accommodate this number' of men and their families, the employes have petitioned the superintendent of the division for , two special trains, one from the north and one from the south, to haul all those desiring to go to Somerville. Conventionalities will be cast aside and the employes will all join forces to make the event one of the greatest from their standpoint, on the local division during the past year. An effort will be made to make it far better than any picnic ever before held, and the committees in charge of the arrangements are in a fair way to do this. Many Amusements. One of the finest orchestras that carf be obtained in this "neck of the woods," will 1 be hired to furnish the music for the day. A dancing pavilion will be erected, while particular attention will be paid to the athletic feaMiiis. Tht-i-t wlirbef "h&fee'ball between the shop and office men, tennis, croquet, all manner of runs and dashes, pole vault and jumps, and for those who appreciate athletic events with a shade of the humorous in them, potato, three legged sack and wheel barrow races will be provided. The pie eating contest which has always before played an important roll in the enjoyment of the employes picnics, will be one of the features this year. The fellow who succeeds in smearing the most raspberry pie over his face will undoubtedly win the prize offered for the event. The employes from all the towns along the division who can possibly get off for the occasion will be in attendance and 'therefore from the railroad standpoint it will be a good thing as the employes will become" acquainted to a greater extent and there will be fewer misunderstandings. It is recognized that the work moves more smoothly when the employes are acquainted. - The soliciting committee has been visiting the local merchants and a number of very handsome prizes have been offered to the winners of the athletic events. The public is invited and urged to be present at the entertainment which is to be held in Lindley hall. Drive Date Changed. A change in the time of holding the commencement drive, an event of much importance at the college, has been made. Instead of being held Wednesday evening, the day of com mencement, it is to take place next Tuesday. This places the event in the regular commencement program and gives to it the sanction of the faculty. The change was made for a practical reason. When it was held the night of commencement, the students were kept at the college an extra day, and it delayed the preparations that are each year made for summer school. Having the ride Tuesday will enable the graduates to leave for home immediately after the commencement exercises, the following Wednesday morning. Officers and Representatives. Osceola tribe of Red Men will elect officers and representatives to the grand' lodge meeting tonight.
