that enough OF mitigation would be shown
upon his trial to reducethe grade of offense be-

seriously considered whether there was not
something that might do to help you. am
forced to the conclusions. however, that ought
not to Interfere by appls ing to the governor for
mitigation OF the sentence pronounced upon
your uncle. Such an application on my part
would be based only on the sympathy which
feel Tor you, and my experience teaches me that
such a consideration ought not to control
executive action in Cases OF this kind. Not.
wlthstanding this, feea that there are circum-
stances in your uucle's1case which ought to ap-
peal strongly to the hardening power, and 1
to your governor as vial avert the execution of
the death sentence which has been pronounced.
Very truly yours, GROVER CLEVELAND.

Judge Beatty this afternoon held that eleven of
the CHur d Alene rioters were guilty of con-
tempt OF court In violating the injunction
served upon them restraining them from inter-
sering with the mine owners in the operation OF
the mines. Judge Beatty sentenced the prison.
ers to terms ranging from four to eight months.
Ten OF the men who had been on trial were dis.
charged
The men were held and their terms of i'm
prisonment are a. follows: Thomas Eaton, John
Fitzgerald, Dan Harrington, Hugh MCGEE, John
Nicholson, Gus Peterson and Thomas Whalen,
each six months; r. Robinson. four months,
and Joseph Poynton, eight months.

diately be made to Justice Field.

der partook of the nature OF crimi-
nal statute, violations of which are tried
by the federal courts without regard to the citi-

service the court said that it was not essential
that each party should be served. 1t was only
necessary that they should know that the in
Junction had been issued. Neither was it
necessary that the parties should have been
named in the restraining order, that order hav-

Judge Beatty stated that labor organizations
were entirely lawful in the abstract, but that
the lawful character of a particular organize
ton must be measured by its acts, and not by
Its bylaws and constitution. The acts of the
C9ur d. Alene Miners unions showed that they
were of an unlawful character. A strict inter

liable for the acts of the organizations, and tho
court continued:
