Soldiers Capturing ara Looking Up Lead
ers in tho Idaho Minors strike.
SPOKANE, WASH, July 16.--A tele.
phone from Wardner says that Gen.
Carlin has arrested 100 union strikers
at Wardner and placed them under
guard. The arrests have caused in
tense excitement and violence is
liable to break out at any moment.
The military arrested Jack Wallace at
Catalde. He is suspected of being the
ringleader in the Mission massacre,
and guns a low resort in that country.
The troops are deploying from Catalde
and it is thought the hills will be
secured for other suspects. Gen. Car
lin now has 1000 troops under his
command and has called on all
members of the Miners union to come
in and surrender. Citizens are jubilant
over the action of the authorities and
as some tough striker would be pointed
out they would cry "Goodi good!' and
gave every token of pleasure at the
downfall of the regime of the mob. The
universal sentiment is favorable to
martial law and the preservation of
order.
The wholesale arrest of members of
the union, including both President
O'Bricn and Secretary Boynton, has in
creased the i'll feeling already existing.
Owing to the disposition of Gen. Car
Inns forces they find it extremely diff
fcult to make any move, but the blow
ing up of the bridge and telegraph poles
Thursday night clearly indicates that
the men are not without resources.
Notwithstanding the presence of the
troops, the strikers continue to make
their presence felt, and are still order
ing spotted individuals out of the coun-
try. Newspaper correspondents are
particularly Objectionable to them.
The three car loads of non-union miners
taken back to Wardner were taken in
under the protection of the regular
troops, and no disturbance was raised
upon their arrival.
While the strikers are apparently
submitting to the rule of the military
and numbers have already surrendered,
as stated above, the fact is that they
are playing a waiting game. They had
driven every non-union man out of the
district and are much angered at the
troops for escorting them in again. I'M
mense quantities of dynamite were
known to be in their pos
session, and it is not believed all
of it has been used in the destruc-
tion of the Gem and Frisco mills and
railroad bridges. Where the rest of il
is is question not only asked by the
people, but Gen. Curtis, Gen. Carlin,
and the forces commanded by them.
The rigid rules enforced by the troops,
under the proclamation of martial law,
evidently annoy the union men and
they have by no means come to the
conclusion that they will abandon the
fight.
Fugitives from Mission continue tc
straggle into Spokane. So far none ot
the wild stories about heavy loss of life
there have been verified. One wounded
man has been picked up and now lie:
in the hospital at Wallace. 1'he troop:
and others are searching Fourth of July
canyon. 1t is not likely that the trutl
will ever be learned about this shock
ing affair. The country is wild, anc
murderers could easily have concealed
the bodies of victims or have thrown
them into the river.
WALLACE, Idaho, July 16-Two rail
road bridges near Mullan were blown
up Thursday night and with them sew
eral telegraph poles. The strikers als'
cut down number of poles, thus shut
ting off communication by that rout
for time. The Gem and Gl anti
mines are all right The rumor tina
the Granite mine had been blown II
probably started from the report of tn
explosion when the bridges were de
stroyed. The military investment o
all the towns is complete.
LONDON, July 16.-Speaking of th
outbreak at Ceur dAlene, following
the Homestead troubles, the Londol
News says:
1.-THE Idaho troubles, following those n
homestead, seem to show that there
tomething rotten in the state
America; but those troubles may bt
come real help II they destroy III
,pread-eagleism, which assumes that the 81
:ial problems which perplex US here have q
been solved there. 1t may be predicted thl
The fercest outbreak against organized capt.;
would probably occur in new country lik
America"
