It is believed conspirators are banded
together to kill all who are oppose
methods of group of dynamiting
miners?Spokane lawyer attacked
(Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan.)
Boise, Idaho, Jail. 5? It is believed here that an organized gang is in existence
whose ehiyf purpose is to murder leading citizens who have opposed the operations of a
dynamiting group of miners that has operated in this state, Colorado and elsewhere. J'
This conviction is strengthened by the fact that, though Harry Orchard, alias Thonas
Hogan, the alleged murderer of former Gov. Stflunenberg, has seen no one and has written
nothing since he was incarcerated, it is announced today that the law firm of Robertson,
Rosenhaupt & Miller, of Spokane, will defend him against the charge of murder. F.
Conrad Robertson, the senior member of the firm, has always been the attorney of this
group of miners. Outsiders have gone so far as to charge that he has been in their alleged
plots on the condition that he would be their counsel in case of trouble.
ORCHARD WANTED AT CRIPPLE CREEK
Denver, Jan. 5 ? Harry Orchard, arrested at Caldwell, Idaho, charged with the1 1

murder of former Gov. Steunenberg, Idaho, is wanted at Cripple Creek. He is charged
with being one of the conspirators who caused the explosion in the Independence mine
j]
June 6, 1904, which resulted in killing 14 persons.

the death of Paul Corn, who acci
dently killed himself at fenakee, Com

just before Christmas. They were

The latter's bus ness partner, N. E.
Smith, left at the head of a party to
search for the lost man. Smith found
his trail and followed it for 15 mile*
with difficulty. Itlead to Corn's dead
dody. He had been shot with a rifle in
his own hands. The imvrints in the
snow indicated that the dead man had
become exhausted, and probably half
crazed by exposure. He had been
dragging his rifle at his side and ap
parently it had caught in something
causing the explosion of the cartridge
in its chamber, killing him instantly.
Corn's boJy was brought into Tenakee
with great difficulty. Smith has not
recovered from the effects of the relief
trip. He arrived at Juneau on the
Georgia, with the body.
