demonstrative over a speech by William
Bryan. Bryan was presented by L..
Irving Handy, Democratic candidate
for congress. In introducing the Ne
braska orator Handy referred to Major
Mckinley. and there was an outburst
of cheering interrupted with groans
and hissses. More groans and Kisses,
but no cheers, followed his reference to
the third ticket-''the decoy ticket" he
called it.. Previous to speaking here
he spoke to large crowd at Dover
Elsewhere along the route the crow s
were small and there was little speech
making.
Bryan's reception here was fatter-

his speech he went on a platform on an
open lot near the Auditorium and adj
dressed large crowd composed of
those unable to gain admission to the
principal speech. Bryan left here at

Men Who Did the Damage Came from
the Gear d Alene.

Those who made the attack are said to
be miners from the Occur dAlene
country, who were engaged in the riots
there several years ago. 1t looks as if
the backbone Of the strike was broken
and the outbreak of violence yesterday
morning was the final demonstration of
the lawless element.
But murder and incendiarism have
marked the fourth month Of the miners
strike. Fireman O'keefe was shot
through the side while turning on the
water that was toquench the flames the
riotiEg strikers had lighted. Police
were defied and armed citizens held
in check. The shaft-house and machin-
cry Of the Coronado We're burned Four

Their wounds are not believed to be
fatal.
The incendi2ry mob had put dyna-
mite under some oil tanks and eypIod-
ed il. thus causing tie destruction of
the mine property. There were but fifty
of them, but they defied the whole
power Of the city until the citizens ar
rived by hundreds armed with rifles
and ready TO fight. But by this time
work of the incendiares was done. The
Coronado people heard of the coming
of the trouble Sunday night, but the
supposition was that the attack was to
be made AZ Emmett
These men from Occur d'Alene have
been the head and front of all sari-
Gus trouble during the strike, and indi-
cations have long pointed to riot ard
bloodshed. The men at work in the
mines were never safe from assault and
z number had been most brutality beat
en- by small mobs OF the strikers. This
final piece of diabOlism is believed to
be the last desperate act of the radical
element to force the stoppage of all
, mines that are not paying the in
creased scale Of wages demanded by
the union. M2ny of the strikers have
