An Eye-Witness Gives Another Version
of the Wallace Slaughter.
SPOKANE, July BE S. Kinney, book
keeper for the Gem mine near Wallace, ar
rived in Spokane to-day. He was present
at the Old Mission when the mob charged
on the non-union refugees and saw the
whole affair from the window of his hotel
Kinney had been ordered out Of the coun-
try by the strikers and was helping some
of his former employees to reach Spokane
In all there were 132 men from different
mines. They had been entirely disarmed
and were waiting for the boat, which was
late.
Just at dusk last evening a squad OF eight
armed men came charging down the rail-
road track yelling and firing rifles. The
refugees scattered in different directions
and ran for the river, mountains and
gulcheS, their pursueFs following them up,
shooting and robbing them.
Most Of the fug tives were driven down
the Fourth Of July Canyon, but q number
made for the brush along the river bank
and swan the river. When Kinney left it
was known that two Of the non-union men
had been slain. George Robinson, who had
been working in the Frisco mine, and a
Swede whose name was unknown.
The boat started down the river in the
darkness and was hailed again and again
by fugitiyes who had escaped the fury of
the mob and had concealed themselves in
The bushes.
''ln all we picked up eight or ten of these
miserable wretches," said Kinney. "Some
were swimming in the water and others
had been lying in the bushes. All were
wet, cold and perisbing from hunger, fright
and exposure. After swimming the river
they had waited Tor three hours before the
boat came along.
1T was the most pitiable sight have ever
witnessed. One man was insane from
fright. When the boat would run her nose
IN toward shore the victims were so eager
10 get aboard that they would not wait for
small boat, but would make off and swim to
place OF security. Some OF these men are
now here and others were left in Ceur
dAlene City. Four or five of them who
can talk English report that they were
robbed OF their watches aud money, in sums
ranging from $40 TO $40"
+. G. Lorring, who came out on the same
boat, helped to pick up refugee and talked
with number Of them. When Henry Mad
son was picked up he was crazy from fear.
He reports that lie was robbed Of $50 and
hours. Frank Lauffer reports that he was
robbed Of S28 Hugh Cameron OF S32, John
Fuller SO and George LOman $50.
When these men were running across the
meadow they saw one Of their companions,
man named Thompson, fall as if shot, and
that was the last they saw OF him. Both
Messrs. Kinney and Lorring are of the be-
lief that the mob never will stop now until
union they lay eyes on. They doubt IL

could be done by an agreement that the
electoral vote Of the mining States should be

that all three of the national parties in the
