WALLACE. Idaho. July 1.-THE Sheriff ar
rived here from Wardner this morning. He
accompanied the Bunker Hill and Sullivan
Mine force to Cataldo. on the Union Pacific
At that point tho Sheriff met Col Carlin and
troops. and Gen. Curtis read the Presidents
proclamation declaring Shoshone county
under martial law. Tho Sheriff sends the
following communication:
Col. CARTS, Cdsn,as ydaho.
The miners have dsbandsd and gone to their respeo-
tive homes. There IL no trouble In Wallace or ward.
ner. RL CuSSisGuAx. Sheriff.
Tho crisis 10 passed and peace once moro
reigns in Cnur d'Al6ne. and martial law pre-
walls in the community. The past twenty
four hours have been tho most trying Csur
d'Al6ne has ever experienced. Had the col
ored troops arrived at Wallace last night there
would have been n battle In the darkness. as
tho mountains about Wallace were full OF
armed miners. thoroughly concealed. They
did not want to fire on the troops unless in
case Of tho utmost extremity to prevent the
troops going to Wardner.
The train with colored soldiers was delayed
three hours in reaching Mulan. They arrived
there at . o'clock yesterday morning. when 1t
was found necessary to lay over until day
break. for what reason is not known. but prob
ably because two bridges were burned this
side OF Mullnn. When this became known.
tho miners withdrew from the hills and pro-
ccodcd to Wardner. The colored troops had
started for Wallace. but wore suddenly re-
called and returned to Missoua. Had these
troops passed Wallace. 1t Is hard to tell what
would have happened. Tho Gem Mill was
magazined ready for match. and tho Bunker
Hill and Sullivan Mill contained nearly half
ton OF powder with n fuse attached. Both mills
were under strict guard. and only as an ex-
treme last resort. the miners claim. would
match have been applied
Fortunately for all the trouble did not need
such extreme measures. The miners kept a
close watch OF the Bunker Hill and Sullivan
Mill but when the non-union men surrendered
the mill was turned over to the company I'M
injured. The non-union men were sent out
westward on the Union Pacific special as soon
as they could be got to the depot. and all min
ers not belonging in Wardner returned to
Wallace and thence to their homes. The body
OF A. r. Mcdonald was found in the debris OF
the Frisco mill. He was employed in the mill
at the time OF the explosion. 1t Is reported
that twclvo bodies were found at tho mouth OF
the Fourth OF July Canon. but this lacks con-
flrmntion. 1t was learned later that only one
man was killed. and that was an accident.
Tho situation ut present Is very quiet
Nearly all tho miners have returned home
The troops ara at Wardner and probably will
come to Wallace Tho non-union men from
the Frisco and Gem mines left here by the
lake route with guard. The boat not ar
irving. the guard ordered the non-union men
t. Wallace through the Fourth OF July Canon.
1t is said that tho guard followed to the mouth
Of the canon. when the workmen refused to
walk any further. and the guard shot them
down. One wounded man was brought from
the scene. A party has gone to Mission to in
vastiGa,e the reports and If it proves true to
recover the bodies.
