Kidnaping Scheme.

Boise, June 13. A terser crowd jlhan usual was in court to hear the i climax of the cross examination of - Orchard today. Gov. Peabody will likely be the next witness called by the state. He wants to get away. Attorney Richardson asked Orchard if he had had the usual talk with McPartland this morning. He said yes but could not remember anything except that McPartland said he was sick. Down to Actual Crime. The defense Wednesday carried the cross examination of Harry Orchard

down to the actual crime charged against William D. Haywood the murder of Frank Steunenberg and as it progressed assailed the testimony and the theory of the state resting upon it. The Steunenberg crime was reached

at midday, and counsel for the defense directed their efforts to an attempt to cloud the earlier purposes and movements of Orchard with uncertainty and ;indefiniteness. Then they emphasized the abandonment of all effort to kill after Orchard first tracked Steunenberg to a hotel in Boise, and. with a skeleton key had gained entrance to the .Ter.QQTOowUicUoxccaor was living. Here they delayed for a moment to prove that Orchard twice i

wrote and once telephoned to Bill Easterly at Silvery City to urge him to come and join in the crime, and the direct implication was that Orchard was endeavoring to inveigle another federation man into the crime which would bring discredit and dishonor to .the organization. The Kidnaping Scheme. Then the Steunenberg murder was temporarily thrust into the background, and the witness was carried

over his long journey Into North Ida-

Richmond was visited by one of the hardest and longest rain and electri

cal storms for many months, shortly after four o'clock Wednesday afternoon and again at night. The downpour continued for more than an hour in the afternoon and when the rain stopped falling, as suddenly as it had started, many of the streets were covered with water, the sewers in places about the city being too small to accommodate the thousands of barrels of water seeking entrance to them. On North Ninth near A street was completely covered with water while debris floated down the middle of it The same conditions existed on Sixth street and in many other parts of the city. . During the afternoon 1.99 Inches of rain fell, according to the record kept

by . Walter Vossler at the local pump

ing station. . The record of one hour almost equals the , record for the month of May and will undoubtedly be

a record that will stand for some time

to come.

The rain Wednesday night w-as not

as heavy but continued longer. " In

this case the sewers were amply able to accommodate all surface water. It did not rain at the pumping station at

night. ; ,

The Starr Piano company was the

most affected by the great quantity of surface water. South A, B, C and D

streets poured their water toward the

river, and down over the embank

ment into the Starr Piano factory. The mill room was the worst damaged, the water . rising to the height of about one inch, over the entire floor. The

employes of the factory moved all materials before they were seriously affected by the water. Practically no

damage was done here.

Other river bottom factories were

also affected to a certain extent but not seriously. Heavy rains are reported from practically all portions of the count-. The heaviest rain fell however directly across the county from the southeast corner to the northwest. Certain portions south of Richmond were not visited by the storm at all.

There is no desire on the part of

the Pennsylvania railroad company to arrange for the interchange of freight

with the C, C. & L. railroad comnanv

in this city and it has iwnitioned thn

Indiana Railroad commission to bo

relieved from that duty. The Penn

hearing on June 25 in Richmond.
