SALT LAKE, May IA special dis-
Tribune, says United States Marshal
Pinkham OF Idaho, who is here after the
Industrisls under guard, is in receipt of
messages from the northern part of the
state which indicate fearful condition
of affairs. A message received this
afternoon from Deputy Marshal Charles
Sweeny at Hauser junction, states that
there are over 400 Industrials between
that place and Hope. He is afraid that
it will be impossible to keep them from
taking possession of the trains. Two
hundred of them are at Sand
point, and about 80 others are being
transported across Lake Pend d'Oreille.
Over 800 more Industrials from Spo-
kane broke camp yesterday and at B p.
M today ere at the Idaho line ready
to capture the first train thai came
along. Deputy Sweeny expected them
to get into Hauser junction before mid
night. Marshal Pinkham tonight wired
the attorney general at Washington re-
questing that one troop of infantry be
ordered at once from Spokane to assist
Sweeny in protecting Northern Pacific
property. Judge Beatty, who is at
Moscow, was asked to join in
th8 request. Before those on the
Northern Pacific there are numerous
squads of Industrials at various points
on the Union Pacific; the largest num-
Der is moving eastward between Weizer
and Napa. These we're travelling by
wagons today, but it is feared they will
make an effort to capture train. Mar
shal Pinkham has over 100 deputies ia
Idaho, but he is very much afraid they
will be unable to prevent lawlessness
against the property of the railroads Of
the state.

Boise, Idaho, to the Tribune says infor-
nation has been received that serious
trouble is liable to occur in Shos hone

reached point near the Ceur d'Alene
mines and threaten to join the union
miners in running out the non-union
men. Prominent mine owners have
been notified that non-union men will
not be allowed to work after today.
Governor Mcconnell is helpless to rem
der assistance. as the last legislature re-

tered at points along the Wyoming and
Idaho line and will prevent Industrisls
from riding on Union Pacific trains.
