WALLACE Qda.), July 20.-Work has
been resumed at all the mines in Coeur
dAlene. The wages have been fixed at
IS 90 for skilled miners and s. per day for
shoVelers, with the right to board and
lodge where they please The presence
OF troops is guarantee that the men can
work for whom they please, without be-
coming members of any organization.
The actions of the Homestead strikers,
whose deeds were commented upon in
violent anarchistic language by such
men as Breen, Dallas, Poynton and
OBrien, stirred up the evil passions of
ignorant miners, whom they ruled with
rod of iron. On the 18th the strike
assumed its most dangerous phase, and
the mine-owners were virtually held
prisoners, and 500 non-union workmen
were in the hands of men capable of
shooting them to death at the command
OF their leaders.
1t is regarded here that General Car
Inns delay ut Cataldo until the non-union
men could be sent out saved many lives,
as well as much valuable property. 1t is
believed that every threat made by the
ried out had the troops advanced. The
miners considered their fight. won when
the non-union men left, never dreaming
that they would return within two DAYS.
Before they could recover from their sur
prise Deputy Marshals were pointing
them out to the soldiers, who arrested
them.
Since the 18th instant there has been no
danger whatever. andth sensational re-
ports sent out from here were in most
cases gross eXaggerations.
WARRANTS FOR THE RIOTERS.
BOISE CITY Gdaho), July 2O.-United
States Marshal Pinham left for Coeur
dAlene to-day with warrants for eighty
of the rioters, charging them with con-
tempt Of the Federal Court in having vio-
lated the injunction restraining them
from interfering with the operations of
the mines. 1t has been decided to pro-
ceed against the offenders in the District
Court, charging them with the crime of
conspiracy in interfering with the ad-
ministration of justice. The leaders will
also be proceeded against in the State
courts for murder as soon as the ma
cninery Of justice in Shoshone County
shall have been restored to working
order.
Reliable information is received here
to-day that insurrectionists have
sworn to kill thirty of the leading mine
owners Of Coeur d'Alene.
RESEMBLED HUMAN BONES.

you, where he had been sent to search
for traces of murder supposed to have
been committed. In one of the gulches
he found large area that had lust been
burned over, and in this area what had
the appearance of funeral pyre Closer
inspection disclosed indications of human
sacrifice. The ashes resembled bone
ashes and some that were in the form of
bones crumbled upon being touched,
The ashes were brought here for scien-
titic examination.
AN EXODUS TO MONTANA.
WALLACE Qdaho), July 20.-Breen.
Dallas and PoyntOn, who were trusted
leaders under O'Brien, have escaped to
Montana. Requisition papers will be
forwarded to Governor Poole, and their
arrest will probably follow. All the
other prominent leaders are in custody.
Indications point to general exodus
into Montana of such union miners as
have not been arrested. Although the
Miners Union in Coeur d'Alene is COM
pletely broken up, it will require the
presence of Federal troops for six months
months or more to insure the workmen
here immunity from attack
One hundred and eleven men have
been arrested at Wardner, and there are
1870 confined at Wallace. Something will
have to be done with them soon, as the
prison-pens are terribly crowded, and
sickness will result from the unsanitary
condition existing at present. Provisions
shipped in here for the Miners Union
are turned over to committee OF women
appointed by miners wives, and by them
distributed TO the needy.
