While in Idaho, Bryon was affiliated with the Western Federation cases in which Messrs. Moyer, Haywood, and Pettibone were tried for the murder of ex-Governor Frank Steunenberg and he had much to do with gathering important evidence in that case for the state. While in Idaho, he was appointed to the secret service by President Roosevelt and up to the time of the demand for his resignation has held that post.
There was widespread speculation among party leaders as to what could have been the cause for the demand for Bryon's resignation. Pete Steunenberg, a brother of ex-Governor Steunenberg, a democrat, closely affiliated with the trial of Haywood and others, is now holding a federal post in Idaho under the state prohibition commissioner.
PRIEST KEEPS VIGIL OVER DEAD
Young Clergyman Dwells Amid Coffins of 300,000 Defenders of Verdun.
HUT GIVEN BY AMERICANS
Wooden Structure Used by Priest Until Permanent Monument Can Be Erected to Heroes of the Great War.
Purls.—A mile from Fort Douaumont, which looks down on the walled city of Verdun, France, and its ring of defenses, lives a priest who never smiles. He is young, clear-eyed, and does not need the ribbon of the Legion of Honor nor the Cross of War with the palm that he wears to tell that he has served. He lives today in a wooden hut with the bones of 800,000 of his countrymen, the defenders of Verdun.
Time has softened the sharper outlines of his surroundings, and from a distance seems to  have given the 12
mile battle front a green carpet. In
reality, trenches have slumped in.
