joined at once by forces at Fort Ceur d
Alene, Fort Van Couver, and Fort Kecgh,

IN blood. The train that was used in the
exodus of Bunker Hill and Sullivan mines
pulled out today ut 2:3O D. N. The train
consisted OF forty five box cars and two

As the long train pulled slowly down
past the big mill where the day before the
