Rourke-all Of the Brcadford Miners
Union-were brought up here last
evening, having obtained a change of
venue to Justice Lemmon's court. The
Justice thereupon held them to ap.
pear for trial to- morrow, at 10 o'clock
in the morning.
The same persons were thereupon
arrested on another charge-that of
r'ot-and taken before Judge Street,
who held them under $1,000 each to
appear when wanted. Being unable
to procure bail, the accused were kept
in the jailor's room, at the courthouse.
About 2 o'clock this afternoon Dan
Harrington, Nick Hickey, Fred Ros.
sitter, John Doe Tommie, Tim Har-
ington alias Hawks, Reuben Still,
John Commins, r. l.. Wrightson,
Samuel Scadden, Tom Keegan, and
John O'Donnell, were brought to
HALEY in custody Of the Sheriff, and
locked up in Jail to await the arrival
OF Acting District Attorney Hawley
this evening, when they will doubtless
be committed for the lack of bail.
Sheriff Furey returned to Broadford
this afternoon, and will doubtless
bring up another dozen or so this
evening, as he has over 40 warrants
in his hands.
If 40 men are arrested peace and
quiet ought to prevail at Broadford;
but if they do not, why,more warrants
will be issued, until every member of
the Broadford Miners Union shall be
arrested, if necessary. And if the
members of the Bullion Miners Union
60 to Broaaford to participate in any
unlawful act, they will also be arrested.
MOVEMENTS OF THE MILITARY.
The three military gentlemen who
arrived here yesterday were called be-
low by a written order from General
Brisbin to-day. Prior to going they
issued blank forms of proposals for
cordwood, hay and oats, to be deliv.
cred sat camp near Haley" in guam
titles. Lieutenant Wilson, who is
Adjutant, Commissary and Quarter
master of the Boise barracks, also
went out to Smiths Hot Springs, to
look at a camping ground which was
pointed out to him.
Inasmuch as General Brisbin has
orders from the Secretary of War to
bring all or part of his command
(Which includes infantry, cavalry, and
two Calling guns) to Wood River for
the summer, it looks very much as if
Commissary Wilson were making ac-
tive preparations for protracted stay
of a body of men. The force at Boise
approximates about 100, of which only
about so could come to Wood River,
but as the Calling guns can discharge
400 shots each per minute, ard the
other arms are Of almost equal etfec.
tiveness, the force could be used very
effectively.
MARTIAL LAW NOT TO BE DECLARED.
There is no imminent danger of
marital law being declared, however
as the citizens are averse to it unless
in the direst necessity. Experience
has proved that a mining community
is permanently injured by such de-
clarat,on. Leadville has never beer
half the place since martial law pre-
vailed there that it was before; Silver
City, Owyhee, is dead as graveyard
