WALLACE, Idaho. July 15.-Two rail-
road bridges near Mullan were blown
up last night, and with them several
telegraph poles. The strikers also cut
down number of poles, thus shutting
off communication 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 report 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 pass. 1t is probable that
many OF the union miners will be ar
rested tomorrow.
he returning non-unlon men were
armed with Winchesters. AT the sta
tion they gave up their rifles and
marched unarmed to their destination.
The men who were escorted up to the
Bunker Hill and Sullivan mines. mile
and half up the gulch through
the camp of Wardner, were heavily
guarded Gen. Carlin issued pro-
clamation calling upon all the members
of the miners union to surrender. He
later issued an order commanding all
the strikers to be arrested wherever
found and disarmed. He also dispatched
searching squads to Fourth of July can
yon to hunt for dead bodies. He thinks
the men who were killed were thrown
into the river.
When the arrival of troops became
known the last twenty men of the Bun
ker Hill and Sullivan mine force, who
did not surrender at the time of the
exodus. at the time the other men took
TO the bush and have been hiding ever
since, came out. They were greatly ex-
hausted. The troops found them forti-
fled in the mine. They were relieved
by company of soldiers, who permitted
them to rest and sleep. The entire
working force of the mine will pick up
tools at once and begin operations in the
mine.
At 4o'clock the troops began Securing
Wardner. bringing in union men and
placing them in confinement i'll the
guard house at the camp on
the ball grounds. Fred E.. Dean,
secretary of the union. was
among the first arrested. President
O'Brien was another. At Wallace also
tits reported that arrests are being
made. Tne C9ur d'Alene is virtually
inthe hands of the military. Unless the
union men commit some act of violence
soon the time for such conduct will be

Securing the Hills.
SPOKANE, WASH, July 15.-The Re-
views advices from the C9ur d'Alene
district state that the military has ar
rested Jack Wallace at Cataldo.
He is suspected of being the ring
leader in. the Mission massacre.
Troops are deploylng from Cataldo, and
it is thought the hills will be secured for
other suspects. Gen. Carlin has LOCO
troops under command, snd has called
on all members of the miners union to
come in and surrender.
FugitiveS from Mission continue to
straggle into Spokane. SO far none of
the wild stories about the heavy loss of
life there have been verified. One
wounded man has been picked up. and
now lies in the hospital at Wallace, 1t
is not likely thai the truth will ever be
learned about this shocking affair.
