HUNDREDS ARRESTED
SPOKANE FALLS, Wash. July 18.-Sun-
day was quiet in the Occur D'Alcne dis
trict. The arrest of miners continues and
several hundred are now huddled in the
school, empty warehouses and base
ball stockade. They are closely guarded
and cannot hope to escape. The troops
have not captured any Of the rifles or
ammunition of the strikers which are
hid in the surrounding hills. A num-
Der of leading spirits in the insurrec-
ton are still at large.
1t is reported that the Montana
unions are indignant at the way the
fight has been carried on.
Very few of the fleeing strikers are
coming this way. Most are passing
over Bitter Root creek into Montana,
where the union is stronger
Two men were arrested here last
night and booked on charge Of muir
der at the police station. The charge
will be preferred against every fugitive
who is caught A large number OF
fugitive non-union men are gathered
here. They huddled together and
seemed to be dazed over their
rough experience, but are will
ing to go back to work as
soon as quiet had been little restored.
1t is the general impression both in
Cnur d'Alene and here that a perma-
nent garrison onght to be maintained
in the mines. Unless this is done that
section during the next year will be the
theater of many dark and bloody
crimes.

afternoon the works of the West Supe-
rior Iron & Steel Co, were shut down.
The fires were drawn, tools put away
and arrangements apparently made for
continued inactivity, If necessary.
The men who were supposed to be
in any way connected with the Anal
pamated association or who had taken
part in the recent demand for the
adoption of the scale, were discharged
by a notice in writing. Manager
Mates will say nothing Of his plans,
except that he will not recognize the
association in any event. The men
were surprised and it is sure secret
meeting was held last evening, but
nothing could be learned as to its pur-
pose. Whether the men in other de-
partments of the works will go out is
not known. About 200 men are al
fected.
