atious to Meet ANY Emergency
That May Arise.

Boise, July 9.-The arsenal of the Ida
no militia at the safe house has the aps

message from Adjutant General Cap
well. who is in the north. stating that a
company Of 10 men had been mustered
in at Wardner, and that 30 more would
be mustered in in a few hours. The adj
jutant general adds: 1.-THE citizens are
thoroughly in sympathy with law and
order. The union men are trying to get
an excursion on the 18th, to bring to-
gether as many as possible to celebrate
the riots Of 1892. If they succeed in get
ting train, trouble is likely to ensue,
but I think we can handle them with
the men here"
Governor Mcconnell says it is hardly
probable the Oregon Railway and Nav
tgation Company will run any excur-
sion trains on the Mullan branch on the
18th, that company being as much in
terested in the prevention Of trouble as
any other doing business in the state.
Arrangements have been made for spe-
cial trains to move the troops in case diff
fculty occurs.
