SPoKAHE FALLS, WASH, July IA Re
Dt6@ special from Wallace, Idaho, says:
The investment of the military is being
made stronger and arrests continue. That
tells the whole story. The imprisoned
miners are sulen ard seem dazed by the
suddcnness with which the uon-union
men We're restored to Bunker Hill and
sullivan. Colonel Carlin went to Mullan
yesterday, but the rioters hearing of the
approach Of troops managed for the most
part to get away. Only few arrests wera
made among them, Justice Of the Peace
Frazer and Postmaster Marsh, both sym
pathizers with the cause Of the union. |.
is thought that Marsh was arrested more
as witness than Il culprit. Both are news
paper men. Frazer edited a weekly paper
in the mines and Marsh was at at one time
on u Chicago paper The troops that went
mp to burke met with more success. Cap
tain Bubb stationed his men from the
depot 10 the mouth Of the mines, and
when the miners We're hoisted they were
marched straight away to the train. 1t is
evident that the strikers have bncn com
quercd for the present. What they may
attempt when the military is withdrawn
is another question"
