CARLIN's COURSE APPROVED.
General Schofeld received telegram
from Colonel Carlin of the Fourteenth
dated Wardner, yesterday, commanding
the troops in Northern Id aho, saying:
"Arrests by order of the governor Of
Idaho commence today, and will con-
tinue until the governor stops it. No
property was destroyed here or else
where by the rioters in consequence
of my delay at Cataldo, but all was
saved by that delay. was most ur-
gently begged by the manager OF the
principal mine, V. M. Clement, to delay
until his surrendered miners should get
out of the place. He believes his
men would have been murdered and
his mine and mill destroyed. At least
half ton of dynamite was placed in the
mill by the rioters to blow it up and
burn it. When his non-union men left
the place on the cars, the giant powder
was removed from the mill and all the
property placed in his possession.
Everything is progressing favorably."
| General Schofeld telegraphs General
Ruger, commanding the department oil
Colorado, as follows:
| 81 have no doubt the circumstances
and results fully justify the discretion
Colonel Carlin exercised. He evidently
understood that the duty of the troops
is simply to support the civil authority
in the ex ercise of the law"
