| Hundreds of Union Men Arrested on the
| Charge of Murder-The Country Under
| Martial Luw-No Further Encounters
| Union Men at Work,
WALLACE, Idaho, July 16-The arrival
of an ample force of federal troops has
had the effect OF making the strikers and
their sympathlzers much more meek
than they were yesterday forenoon
Then they were defiant, and even after
troops began to arrive some of the more
bold and reckless Of them boasted that
they would rout the soldiers. Now they
are making every etfOlt to get into the
mountains in the hope that they may
escape justice. The work of arresting
all persons engaged in the lawlessness OF
the week has gone steadily forward
There are now some twenty or more of
the accused in the guard house here
The work has also been begun at Ward
ner and Gem.
The outlook today is much more en-
couraging than it has been at any time
this week. The men at the Sierra Ne
vada mine, Wardner, failed to yet away
from town before General Carlin arrived,
and then they were not compelled to 60.
Consequently they are now prepared to
resume work, and the report IS that the
mine will start UP tomorrow. The men
| expelled from the Bunker Hill and Sui
Ivan mines went only to Tekoa, Wash,
and announced that they would return
as soon as troops arrived here They re-
turned today and will probably be put to
work at once. There are nearly 300 of
them. .~
About 300 additional troops from Fort
keogh, under Colonel Page, arrived to-
day and occupied Mullan This is prob
ably the worst place in the whole coun-
try, and when the outlaws there are
rounded up there will not be many peo-
pie left in the town. Nearly all the per
| sons arrested will have to answer the
charge Of contempt before Judge Beatty
III the United States district court at
| Boise and the charge OF murder before
the district court Of this county. A few
prominent citizens have stood in with
them for political purposes, and it is not
Improbable that they have laid them
selves liaale to the above charges. W. A.
| Jones, !, local attorney, became somewhat
nfflclOuS when the first arrests were made
and he was promptly locked up by the
direction Of the commanding office :
There Sc ems to be prospect now that a
| much needed lesson will be given to the
lawless element in this country and that
assurance will be given that capital can
safely be invested in this rich mining
section. All persons leaving town are
required to have passports. Some Of the
parties who are thought to be liable to
prosecution have made great efforts to
get out, but passports have been denied
them. The work of arresting the partic-
pants IN the late disturbance is being
pushed with all possible energy and the
outlaws are being run in on every hand.
At Mullan, today, w. H. Fraser, justice
Of the peace, G. w. Marsh, postmaster,
and r. W. Steele, a prominent hotel man,
We're arrested. They were brought to
this place The event of the day was the
arrest OF union miners at Burke. Two
companies under command Of Captain
Bubb went with L. S. Deputy Marshal
l1ulan to that place this morning. The
men wanted We're in the Tiger and Poor
man mines. On the arrival there the
troops were stationed above and below
town to prevent the escape of any one.
The canyon being very narrow, soldiers
We're stationed at each mine. The men
We're informed that they were wanted by
officers above ground. At first they re-
fused to come up, but as there was no
way Of getting out of the shaft without
getting into the hands of the officers they
finally concluded to come up, and they
were Immediately put on board the train
and brought to Wallace. A few other
persons were also arrested at Burke, and
when the escort marched through the
streets here on their way to the guard
| house they had in hand ninety pris
oners, nearly all miners. Captain Hulan
returned to Burke tonight and expects
soon to deliver to the guards here sec
ond installment of law=breakers. These
two arrests will necessitate a shut down
| in the Tiger and Poorman mines.
Two men badly wanted and who will
probably be captured soon are Hon. Peter
Breen, member of the Montana legisla-
ture and state organizer Of the Knights
of Labor, and G. NJ. Dallas, treasurer of
the Butte Miners union. 1t is undoubt-
edly true that a few persons have been
arrested who will be released because of
having no connection with the mob, but
the authorities are discharging their du-
ties in manner that pleases all good
citizens.
Van B. Delashmutt, mine owner, says
that most of the non-union men driven
out of Wardner returned today, and it is
quite probable that the Bunker Hill and
Sullivan mines will be started up again
next week. Delashmutt says the Sierra
Nevada, at Wardner, will start up with
nearly the same force as before the
