PEACE REIGNS AT CGUR o. ALENE.
The Striking Miners Decide Not to
Fight the Soldiers.

ing Match.
WALLACE, IDAHO, July 14.-The
sheriff has just arrived here from Ward
ncr. He accompanies the Bunker Hill
and Sullivan mine force to Cataldo, on
the Union Pacific. At this point the
sheriff met General Carlin and troops
and General Curtis. Curtis read the
Presidents proclamation, declaring Sho-
shone county under martial law. The
sheriff send the following communion
ton at this hour:
General Cdriin, Cdta,do, hdso: The
miners have disbanded and gone to their
respective homes. There is no trouble in
Wallace or Wardner.
X. A. CUNNINGHAM Sheriff.
The crisis is passed and peace once
more reigns in Ceur d'Alene and mar i,
tial law prevails in the community to-
night. The past "a hours have been the +,
most trying Cnur d'Alcne has ever ex-
perienced. Had the colored troops
arrived at Wardner last night there
would have been battle in darkness,
as the mountains about Wallace were
full of armed miners thoroughly con-
cealed They did not want fire on the
troops unless in case Of the utmost
extremity to prevent the troops going to
Wardner.
A train with colored troops was de-
tanned three hours in reaching Muilan.i
They arrived there at O'Clock yester-
day morning, when IL was found neces-
sary TO lay over until daybreak, for
what reason Is not known, but probably
because two bridges were burned this
side of Mullan. When this became
known the miners Withdrew from the
hills and proceeded to Wardner. The
colored troops had started for Wallace,
but were suddenly recalled and returned
to Massoula.
Had these troops passed Wallace II is
hard to tell what would have happened.
The Gem mill was magaZined ready for
match and the Bunker Hill and
Sullivan mill contained nearly half
ton of powder with q fuse attached.
Both mills were under strict guard and
only as an extreme last resort, the
miners claim, would the match have
been applied. The miners kept close
watch of the Bunker Hill and Sullivan
mill, but when the "scabs" surrendered
the mill was turned over to the company
uniniured. The "scabs" were sent out
westward on the Union Pacific special
as soon as they could be got to tho
depot, and all miners not belonging in
Wardner returned to Wallace and
thence to their homes
1t is reported that 10 bodies were
found at the mouth Of the Fourth of
July canyon, but this lacks confirma-
ton. The troops arc at Wardner and
probably will come to Wallace. The
non-union men from the Frisco and
Gem mines left here by the lake route
with guard. The boat not arriving,
the guard ordered the "scabs to Wallace
through the Fourth of July canyon.
WALLACE, IDAHO, July 1.-two railroad
| bridges near Mullan were blown up last
night and with them several telegraph
| poles. The strikers also cut down q
number of poles, thus shutting off COM
munication. The Gem and Granite mines
are all right. No one is allowed to get out
without u pass. 1t is probable that some
of the union miners will be arrested to-
| morrow.
At the Union Pacific headquarters at
Portland, Ore, message was received
| from the provost marshal at Wallace, for
bidding the sale of tickets or transportation
| OF passengers through the county of Sho-
| shone.
Armed strikers, who yesterday drove
| non-union workmen from town, subse-
| quently threatened to blow up the Wallace
| bank if the capitalists permitted the nom
union men to return, and to shoot Western
| Union operators if they sent any more
| messages to Wardner. When the town
was put under martial law, however, all
became quiet.
The decisive position taken by the mill
tary in overawing the strikers at Wardner,
as well as at Wallace is Explained and sup
ported by Governor Willeys telegram d.
recting General Curtiss and his command
Mt Cotaldo to shoot on the spot ANY per-
son apprehended in the act Of blowing mp
railroad bridges or property or mills or
houses or other property with dynamite or
placing 1t in position to do So"
] he real cause OF the strike and disorder,
so far as Wallace miners are concerned.
was the levyinE of hospital tax of el. ~
month on all the men to support thmY
employers hospital, whenthe miners had
one of their own which they were sup
porting.
SPOKANE, July 16.-The Revieu's adyices
from the Cmuer d Alene district state that
the military has arrested Jack Wallace at
Gataldo. He is suspected of being the
ringcader in the Mission massacre.
Troops are deploying from Cataldo, and
it is thought the hills will be secured for
other suspects. The troubled district has
been closed To travel, and nobody is now
permitted to go in without military pass.
General Carlin has 1000 troops under his
command.
Notwithstanding the presence Of the
troops the strikers continue to make their
presence felt. Newspaper correspondents
are particular objects to them.
Aspecial just received by the Rseiew says
three carloads of men besides President
O'lSrien, the secretary of the Miners
Union and % other member of that BODY
were arrested. Coroner Simms and the
provost guard were taking men in right
along during the evening.
Several citizens have also been placed in
custody, including Robert Neill and Wal
ter Jones, who were formerly members of
the union. 1t is reported that all members
of the union are to be locked up. If this
be true 1t means the arrest of over 1000
men.
WARDNER, IDAHO, July 19.-Nothine
new has developed in the past "a hours.
One company was sent from Wallace to
Mullan yesterday and one company has
been sent 10 reinforce Captain Bubb at
Gem.
Work was resumed at the Bunker
Hill mine yesterday. The tramway was
guarded day and night by troops who
have to climb up and down several times
day and find the duty very severe.
Lieutenant McQuiston with detach-
ment at Cataldo has arrested three men
at the mission. He sent them to this
place under guard.
