FOUND GUILTY.
Eleven Idaho Rioters Sentenced at Boise
City Yesterday.

BOISE, idaho. Aug. 11.-Unlted States
District Judge Beatty this afternoon held
that eleven of the Cpur d'Alene rioters
were guilty Of contempt OF court In viola
ting the injunction served upon them re-
straining them from interfering with the
nlne-OwneTs in the operation of their
mines.
Judge Beatty sentenced the prisoners to
terms ranging from four to eight months.
Ten of the men who have been on trial
have been discharged.
The men held and their terms of I'M
prlsonment are as follows: Thomas Eaton,
John Fitzgerald. Dan Harrington, Hugh
McGee, John Nicholson, Gus Paterson and
Thomas Whalen, each six months; r. Rob-
inson four months and Joseph Paynton
eight months.
Thomas Doyle was held, but his sentence
was not passed as he was absent because of
sickness. Thomas O'Brien, president of
Miners Union, was held, but sentence YVES
deferred pending hearing of Bunker Hill
and Sullivan miners. 1t is understood that
an appeal will be taken and that an applica-
tion for a writ of habeas corpus will In
medlately be made TO Justice Field.
Judge Beatty, in rendering his decision,
passed upon several interesting points. He
said that the question OF diverse citizenship
could have been raised In the original PRO-
ceedings. 1t had not been so raised, aud
the restraining order had been issued with
DO such showing before the count, and that
the order partook OF the nature of criminal
statute, violations OF which are tried by the
Federal courts, without regard to the citi-
Zenship of the parties.
On the question Of service the court said
that it was not essential that each party
should be served. 1t was only necessary
that they should know that an injunction
had been issued. Neither was it necessary
that the parties should have been named in
the restraining order, that order having
been issued against the Miners Union, their
aiders and abettoTs.
Judge Beatty stated that labor organiZa-
tiOns were entirely lawful in the abstract,
but that the lawful character of particular
organization must be measured by its acts,
and not by its bylaws and constitution. The
acts OF the Cnur d'Aleae Miners Union
showed that they were OF an unlawful
character. and strict Interpretation of law
would render each member liable for the
acts of the organization and, said the
court, there is no doubt that under this we'll
defiued principle of law could hold all the
defendants who are members of the union.
L will not, however. apply that rule, but
VIII endeavOr to determine the connection
OF each of these respondents with the oc-
currences at the Frisco and Gem mills on
July IL. The court then proceeded TO ana
lyZe testimony as to The participation of
each of the defendants In those occurrences,
with the result as given.

FAR FROM HOME.
4 Little San Francisco Girl abandoned in
Kew York.

NEW YORK, Aug. IA strange story
lies behind the experience Of little Elsie
Schur, bright-eyed. golden-haired girl, IL,
years old. which may be cleared up TO
morrow by Superintendent jenkins of the
Gerry Society in whose care the girl was
placed to-day.
Late on Wednesday night middle-aged
well-dressed man accompanied by girl of
II arrived at the Hoffman House and
registered as A. Nixon aud Miss Elsie
Schur of San Francisco. They were as
signed adjoining rooms. This morning
Nixon and his charge appeared in the cor
ridOrs of the hotel. He appeared very affec-
tionate, but the girl was III at ease. He left
her in the corridor. and took a car down
town. telling her he would be back again.
Miss Frances Wilson and Miss Porter,
who attend the flower stand 10 the Hoffman
House, noticed the girl in tears, and sus-
pectiDg that something was wrong, they
persuaded her to tell her story. She said her
name was Elsie Schur, and that abe lived
with mother, Mrs. Ornestina Shur, in San
Francisco. Together with her parents and
her brother and sister they lived in this
city with lady In Eighty-sixth street, be-
tween Avenue A and Avenue b, about a
year ago.
Ten months ago her mother went to San
Francisco, taking Elsie with her. She re-
celved word from her husband that her boy,
his sister, was so homesick and pin
Ing for his sister that in order TO
save his life she must send Elsie
TO New York and he would meet her.
Mrs. Schur concluded to send the girl to her
father, and giving her letters to the agent
OF the Union Pacific Railroad, with a request
to forward her to her destination, the little
waif started alone on her journey across
the continent.
On the way she met Nixon, who learning
her story, told her that he would assist her
in finding her father. He treated her kindly
on the way and when she arrived in the
city and could not find her father he took
her to the Hoffman House.
Shortly after this Nixon returned, and on
being questioned about the child said he
knew nothing of her except that
he met her as she boarded train
at San Francisco, and taking an
interest in her had offered his services.
Miss Wilson states that he contradieted
himself by afterward saying that he had
met the girl on her arrival here, and seeing
that she wa: friendiess aud alone had be-
friended her.
Head Porter Tooles of the Hoffman
House Informed the officers of the Gerry
Society this afternoon and Agent Schuttss
came and took Elsie to the society head
quarters Nixon Will not In all probability
be easily found. He sauntered around the
hotel until dark and then disappeared after

A Correspondent at Riverside Tells the
story From n Different Standpoint.
RIVERSIDE, Aug. u.-This morning about
6 O'CLOCK another bloody tragedy took place
in the TemeScal Canyon, about Il miles from
South Riverside, which resulted in the death
OF Ira Wall and the serious wOunding of
Walrs mother by Elmer Walters. Wall
was killed instantly, the body being riddled
with buckshot, and, as near as can be
learned, several shots struck Mrs. Wall,
who happened TO be in range when the
shooting took place.
The shooting Is the outcome of an old
feud, which has existed between the Wall
and Walters families for some time past,
The origin OF the feud was a dispute over
the ownership OF water rights, the latter
being claimed by both parties.
Some weeks ago there was trouble be-
tween the parties over waite business at
the same place where to-day's shooting took
place. at which time a brother Of Walters
was accidentally killed while H. the act of
disarming one of the Wall girls, who had
been possessed OF shotgun for some days
past.
Walters, 1t seems, had been guarding his
ditch from Intrusion, aud to-day Wall came
there and attempted to divert the water into
another ditch. Walters told him to desIst.
This Wall refused TO do, and words fol-
lowed.
just what transpred afterward II is hard
to learn, but the story told by Walters is
that Wall advanced upon MIN with an up-
lifted shovel and not needing the warning of
Walters TO keep away, whereupOn the latter
shot and killed him.
Another story OF the shooting is to the
effect that Walters was lying in wait for the
Walls and when the latter drove up he
opened FIRE on them.
The Sheriff and Coroner have gone 10 the
scene OF the shooting and at late hour had
not returned, so no particulars except those
obtained at the inquest are obtainable. Wal

for South Riverside. where he gave himself
up TO the constable. Wall, the murdered
man, Is well known in these sections aud
his folks, who live at Eisinore, are leading
citizens of that place. Mrs. Wall is severely
wounded, but the latest adyiees say not
seriously.
Walters, while awaiting the arrival of the
Sheriff In South Riverside, told the follow
Ing story Of the affair: ~ Was In the can

trouble originated, when young Wall came
