country. They mad6 several arrests, put

a large party of strikers started 10 release
their imprisoned comrades, but the bold
front Of the veterans bluffed out the strik-
ers. Colonel Cariin this morning dispatched
tTO ps TO relieve the gallant Grand Army
men, and the people in this country are
ready to take of their hats 10 a Grand Army
badge.
This morning 96 union men in the Poor
man and Tiger mines at Burke were ar
rested as they came off the shift. and were
rushed down in their working clothes to the
prison at Wallace The shift working the
second shaft will next be arrested The
men were working quietly but belonged to
the union, and every union man in the C9ur

Fourth of July Canyon massacre and other
outrages. There viii be no compromise.
Every man who has taken the oath of the
union must leave the country or be arrested.
PeteT BTeeD, who, with u. NJ. Dallas, repre-
sented the Montana unions, has fed. Breen
WAS prominent as leader of unions, and is
member of the Montana Legislature. 1t
IS said that he is still subject OF Queen
Victoria, but he is member OF the Legs-
lature just the same, so strong are the
miners unions IN Montana.
Scouting parties start out soon 10 scOur
the hills. Five miles from here, up Placer
Creek, 90 strikers are fortified, at an old
placer camp. They have plenty of pro-
Wis ions and ammunition. a prospector
brought 10 the news. Similar parties are in
every guch where running water can be-
had. For four months the unions have pre-
pared LOT lDiS LTOUDie ana nave eStdDIlSHeQ
provisioned camps all through the noun
tains.
Among the men arrested at Mullan
was Judge Fraser, justice Of the peace,
and an anarchist agitatOr, who has long eX-
eried an evil influence. He was leader Of
the strikers and correspondent for several
newspapers. W. A. Steele. a hotel proprie-
tor. ts another agitator, and J. Marsh, the
postmaster, IS also an agtatOr. None Of
them were members Of the union, but the Y
are men who, for selfish motives, aided and
abetiedsthe acts of violence.
The hills are filed with strikers COM
pletely sdisoTgauiZed President 0'BrieD,
the arch enemy Of law and order, is a pris-
oDer here. and the strikers have no leader,
and no hope unless they are Te-enforced
from Montana. Every approach to Cedr
dAlene has been guarded 10 prevent this
and to arrest the fleeing strikers. Colonel
Carlin says the back bone Of the trouble is
broken and in another day, II the arrests
continue, there will be more prisoners than
troops IN CRur d'Alene.
The prisoners will soon be shipped TO
Boise City to await the action of the Fed
eral authorities.
