SPOKANE, Wash, July 15-Word has
just been received that the terrific eX-
plosion heard over the Occur d'Alene dis
trict last night was caused by the strikers

Mullen and Wallace.
PORTLAND, Ore, July 15.-The following
order was received at the headquarters OF
the Union Pacif, today from the provost
marshal at Wallace, Ida:
You are hereby directed not to sell
tickets or transport any passengers
through the county of Shoshone today.
This order has no affect on the carrying of
the United States mail and express and
passengers under military passes.
Assistant Superintendent OBrien of
the Union Pacific, Washington division
telegraphed as follows:
"A special train has just been ordered
by Superintendent Clement of the Bunker
Hill and Sullivan mines, from Nekoa to
Wardner, for the purpose, it is thought
OF taking the non-union men back iuto the
mines. The men have been at Tekoa since
leaving Wardner"
WALLACE, Ida, July 1.-TWO railroad
bridges near Mullen were blown up last
night and, with them, several telegraph
poles. phe strikers also cut down a num-
Der of poles, thus shutting off communica-
tion by that route for time. The Gem
and Granite mines are all right. The
rumor that the Granite mine had been
blown up probably started from the re-
port OF the explosion when the bridges
were destroyed. The military investment
of all the towns is complete. No one is
allowed to go out without a pass. 1t IS
probable that many of the union miners
will be arrested tomorrow
