Tho Way 1t Was Done by the Bluecoats-
Non-Union Men Appearing.
WALLACE, July 15.--[Spscial. marital
law is likely to prevail in this country for
sixty days or more. It is thoroughly effct-
may cause an outbreak between the troops
and the miners. Very few miners can be
found in the city and those around have
been discovered. Though buildings have
been searched the non union men showed
their heads for the first time since the
Frisco fight. They are returning to the
country from all directions and will posi-
bly, be brought in train loads before to-
morrow night. The scenes connected with
the arrests were interesting. One company
of the Fourth infantry marched to the center
of the lending street which was cleared.
They rested on their arms while a great
crowd of union men. sympathizers and
citizens formed heavy lines on the walk.
Nobody knew the object of the military
parade until man WAS picked from the
erowd and without the formalty of serving
papers was hurried in the ranks between
two soldiers. He was taken down the street
to the camp of the infant y.
DIR. Sims. the co!oner with an officer,
marched about the streets. into stores
glancing alternately at a long sheet of
paper and then at the crowd. Behind was
u mysterious individual who occasionally
whispered in the officers ears. The sheet
of paper had a list of nearly 200 names of
miners on whom injunctions had been
served. Few union men vera found.
President OBrien WAS among the found.
He was marched to tho little tented guard
house with two Others and searched for
concealed weapons and all the men turned
into the tent with the guard pacing in
front. The arrests still continue. There
are now perhaps twenty men under guard.
Several citizens were arrested and some re-.
leased. Attorney Jones was among them.
Several sympathizsrs were taken in. The
greater part of the miners are at Mullan,
Burke and other neighboring points and
will join their imprisoned comrades as fast
as the military can reach them tomorrow,
The inquest over the Frisco affair will then
be held, when it is hoped that the true story
of the first shooting will be had. A nom
union man lying i'll the hospital says that
the union men fred the first two shots ut
them before one was returned from the
fort. The penalty for contempt of court in
this state il not fixed and Judge Beattie
may give any sentences that he pleases.
The miners headquarters this evening are
all but deserted. But one man who has
charge OF dealing out rations to the families
can be found. OBrien has little to say
more than the CASE would be fought to the
finish in the court.
There wore several inquiries for Peter
Breen this afternoon. but hs could not be
found. SEQ etary Dallas, Of Butte, il also
among the missing. Ono OF the captures
was a big -whiskered fellow resembling
Herr Most. There were not fow grateful
sighs in the crowd when ho was caught. for
he has been ordering everybody out OF town
since tho Bunker Hill victory. Many citi-
ssns who have been afraid OF their eva
shadows for week are now talking most
