sight 1 have ever witnessed. One man
was insane from fright. When the boat
would run her nose in toward shore the
victims were so eager to get aboard that
they wonld not wait for small boat, but
would wade off and swim to place Of
security"
Some of these men are now here and
others were left in Cnur d'AIene City.
-Four or five of them who can talk Eng
llsh report that they were robbed Of their
watches and money in sums ranging
from $40 TO $40. f. G.. Loring, who came
out on the same boat, help to pick up the
refugees and talked with a number of
them. When Henry Madison was picked
up he was crazy from fear. He reports
that he was robbed of $50 and a watch.
He was in the water for three hours.
Frank Lautfer reports that he was robbed
OF S26, Hugh Cameron of $32, John Fuller
OF $40 and George Lomon of $50. When
these men were running across the
meadow they saw one of their compan-
ions. man named Thompson, fall as if
shot, and that was the last they saw of
him. Both Messrs. Kenney and Lorring
are Of the belief that the mob never will
stop now until they kill every man not
member Of the union they lay eyes on.
They doubt if many Of these driven into
the wilderness and Fourth of July Can
yon will ever emerge alive.
NoN-UNION MEN BADLY TREATED,
SPOKANE (Wn.), July 13.-Three COM
panies of United States troops, under
command Of General Carlin, took the
train early this morning at Harrison, on
Lake CGur d'Alene, and ran up to
Cataldo, within twenty miles Of Wardner
Pending the arrival of reinforcements, it
was thought best to go into camp there
for the time being. General Carlin de-
clared that he would not take that light
command into the midst of COO armed
and desperate men, fighting from am
bush. He boarded an engine, however,
and went in advance himself. At Ward
ner he received assurances from the
strikers that they would lay down their
arms and disband if the non-union men
still in the country were driven out.
Meanwhile, colored troops from Mis-
soula were coming in from the east. At
Mullan, twenty miles east of Wardner,
they encountered wrecked bridges that
had been blown up by the strikers. Alter
waiting few hours, the commanding Of
ficer received orders to return to Missoula.
What the purpose of this may be no one
can tell.
The blacllest feature of this direftll con-
flict was the tragedy enacted at the old
mission and i'll Fourth of July Canyon
After driving many fugitive non-union
men into the canyon, the strikers fol-
lowed them and shot them down like
deer. Among those shot down was Fore
man Monaghan, OF the Gem mine, who
was coming out with his family. His
family was spared, but Monaghan was
run into the brush and shot through the
back. He was picked up this morning
and taken back to the mines. 1t is
thought he will die. 1t is reported that
twelve bodies have already been recov-
cred in the Fourth of July Canyon. The
non-union men had been entirely dis
armed and were at the mercy of their
pursuers.
The boat that came down the lake to-
day picked up twenty more Of the fugi-
tives who had taken to the river and
brush. They tell tales of frightful cruelty.
Some Of them were beaten with revolvers
and many robbed of all their valuables.
MINERS WEAKENING.
BOISE Gdaho), July Ex-Governor Will

WALLACE (Idaho), July 13.-The Sher-

Cataldo: "The miners have disbanded
and gone to their respective homes
There is no trouble in Wallace or Ward
ner. At 7:30 o'clock this evening the
crisis was considered past. The COM

yard, but the past twenty hours have
been the most trying Coeur d'Alene has
ever experienced"
