A special to the Tribune from Boise, Idaho, announces that plans are well under way for the presentation to the state board of pardons early in the year of a petition to parole Harry Orchard, murderer of former Governor Frank Steunenberg, who was biown to pieces by a planted at his gate at Caldwell on the night of December 51, 1905. Certain members of a religious denomination of Idaho are behind the movement to get Orchard out of the penitentiary. Their plan is to have him granted permission to leave the country after a few months and place him In a foreign mission field-a- s a worker and teacher, especially to teach trades to the men among whom he will be placed. Harry Orchard was sentenced to be hanged by Judge Fremont Wood at Caldwell, March 18, 1908. Governor Gooding'commuted his sentence to life Imprisonment. Orchard was arrested January 1, 1906, at Caldwell. He later confessed haring set the bomb at the gate of the Steunenberg homey which killed the former 'governor.

Earthquake shocks which destroyed several towns along the Argentine slope of the Andes mountains were the most severe experienced in this country since 1869, when half the city of Mendoza was laid in ruins. Reports from the area where the shocks were heaviest Indicate great loss of life and property, ipwards of 160 bodies having already been taken from the wrecks of buildings. At Tresportenas more than 100 perished, and at Costa de Araujo 81 were killed and 80 seriously Injured. It is feared that more victims still are burled under the ruins in each town. At Tresportenas, Lavalle and lLacen-tra- l not a house was left standing, and those not destroyed were left in a badly damaged condition. No estimate of the total number of persons tnjured has yet been made. Minor shocks continue throughout the district, one particularly 'strong tremor being felt Sunday in the towns at San Martin and Rivadavla. The n. people are reported as being The city, of Mendoza was shaken, but did not suffer any ex' tensive damage. In the town of Costa de Araujo the seismic convulsion opened great crevices, out of which hot water is spouting. The water from one of these geysers reached a height of about fifteen feet and formed a pool in which two were persons drowned. A Red Cross ambulance has reached the village and the work of rescuing any sufferers who still may be alive iu the ruins has been started. s More than 90,000 persons inhabited little towqs along the eastern Andean 'slope, and as feports continue' to add to the long list of casualties, apprehension is felt that the final figures will be very high. Rescue parties have been sent from Mendoza, but details from the scene of the disaster are meager, as telephone and telegraph wires are badly disorganized. panic-stricke- Girl Lures Victims' Into Trap.
