Task Resumed in the Trial of the Miner's Union Official at Boise, Idaho. WILL PROBABLY TAKE ALL THIS WEEK None of ths Men Already Examined Have Been Accepted Finally Bulk of New Venire is Made Up of Farmers From Country Surrounding Boise.

Boise. Idaho, May 14. The task of selecting a jury, resumed Monday in the case of William D. Haywood, secretary and treasurer of" the Western Federation of Miners, charged with complicity in the assassin iation of Former Gov. Stetiuenberg, 'nitty he-completed within the next four or five dnys according to the judgment tif opposing counsel.

Eleven men were In the. box when court opened at 2 p. Monday. None have been finally accepted by both sides, however, although three have so far qualified themselves to serve that only peremptory challenges, of which each side has ten, can remove them. When the regular term panel was ex-haused last Thursday afternoon' with one seat vacant, there was nothing Judge-.

Wood could do but adjourn court to allow Sheriff Hodgin and his deputies to summon a special venire of one hundred men. The bulk of tho jurors are expected to come from this Installment of eligible material, large, ly made up of farmers from the eottrir try surrounding Boise. The new yen-, Ire shows 75 farmers or ranchmui. the remainder being people of business, many of them prominent business men. It was said at the.

beginning Jlon-day'g proceedings that not more than two of the eleven men held under lock and key since last Thursday will be members of, tho trial panel. The residents of the country districts, examined last Thursday, said they read of Gov. Steunenberg's death and talked about it. casually with their families and friends for a time, but that discussion of the matter ceased many months ago. They had ail read of Peresldent Roosevelt's "imtfetdr-uble" citizens letter but In no instance dlj a proapective juror say that the letters had influenced his judgment or prejudiced him in any way against the prisoners.

Another significant feature of the examination tjilesmen was the fact that Ihe attorneys for he ilef eiue unable to unearth here tiny feeling among the country folks against any particular lahor union or against traiU unionism in general. There is growing among those who came here to attend the trial to hear the opening address of the prosecution, which probably will be delivered by James II. Hawley. leading counsel for the prosecution. Just how far the state's attorneys will go In outlining tk" case they hope to, prove against Haywood, is problematical.

They may choose to state their case in a most general way. g-ivln? no actual hint of the testimony they claim to have, or on the other hand, the opening address may be a proposition as broad as the attornejs expect to prove under the most fr.vor-able rulings of the court. It is certain that: no leihniony tending to lay the broad foundation for the alleged conspiracy of which Haywood, Moyer and Pettlbotie are said to have been part, will be introduced without a stubborn and prolonged fight on the pah of the defendants counsel.
