Meldrum's supposed occupation in Boise Is as a witness for the state In the Haywood case. It has been stated, however, that he Is here as the special body guard of General Bulkley Welle. HI? row with L. F. Whims, the as saulted man, arose over hie inability to produce satisfactory credentials as a union man.
