.NON-UNION MEN
KEPT FROM WORK
Sheriff Young Halts All Who Approach
the Bunker Hill, and Demands
the Countersigu.

WARDNER, Idaho, April 26-The first
shot has been fred, and the place has
suddenly been turned into an armed
camp. The strikers were in session all
last night at their hall. At $50 this
morning compact body of men. beaded
by President Boyles, started up the can
yon. They halted short distance from
Bunker Hill & Sullivan. Soon after. in
little bunches. up came the non-union
miners to go to work. They were stop
ped by the strikers, and President Boy les
urged them not to go to work. One or
two of the non-union men tried to push
through the crowd of strikers, but we're
forced back with the remark that the
union did not intend them to go to work.
Then T. S. Murray, smooth-faced
leader of the strikers, pulled big reyol-
yer. which he leveled at bunch. of
Bunker Hill employees
cpl tell you what the proposition il"
he shouted. "You walk down that hill
again inside of four minutes, or else go
down some other way
He drew his watch and, as he counted
the seconds, the working miners, faltered
and started down the hill. A half-dozen
of them went into Blacks boarding house
on the main street of the town. They
were pursued into the house by strikers.
"What will we do with these id
scabe?" shouted somebody.
"Run them down the canyon" was
the reply. With that they started the
nonunion men toward the foot of the
town.
Later, in fight between number of
the strikers and the men from the Bunker
Hill, one of the union members fired the
initial shot of the strike. It was directed
at door behind which some of the work
ing miners were believed to be in hid
ing. Tonight no attempt was made to
interfere with the working force, and
about eighty men went on duty when
the shifts changed. Sheriff Young ar
rived from Wallace today. Tonight,
armed men are on guard both at Bunker
Hill mine and the mill. They halt all
corners and demand the countersign.
The strikers have tapped the telephone
line between the mill and the mine, and
are inteTcepting all messages.

BEEF COURT OF INQUIRY.
Some Documents Submitted Oh Roth Sides
ofthe Issue.

Washington, April 22.-The Wade
court Of inquiry devoted yesteray's ses-
sion to reviewing testimony and last
night held another session for the pur-
pose of reading reports, letters, deposi-
tiOns and other papers bearing upon
the beef investigation. President Nc
Kinley's instructions to the court of
inquiry were read and they cover the
case completely. Their spirit is ''let no
guilty man escape" Both Major Lee
and Colonel Davis submitted a number
of reports and mass of correspon-
dence. Among the documents read by
Colonel Davis was a letter from the
Washington attorneys of Armour & Co.,
dated June 10, 1898, after the contract
for beef had been let. asking for a re-
consideration of the subject in the in
terest of their clients and an indorse
ment by General Eagan as commits
sary general opposing the request.
In their letter the attorneys repre-
sented that the Armours controlled the
Powell process for the treatment of
meat, and that this fact gave them
such an advantage in the preservation
OF fresh beef as to justify the war de-
partment in disregarding the difference
in price and awarding them the con-
tract. In his Endorsement Gen. Eagan
referred to the letter of the attorneys
as a special pleading" and said there
was no reason in this plea why the sub
ject should be reopened.
Major Lee submitted a deposition by
J. S. Armstrong, president of the Arm
strong Packing Company, of Dallas.
Tex, which among other things set
forth the substance of a conversation
with General Eagan- Armstrong was
one OF the bidders for beef in block and
said that he discussed with Gen. Eagan
the question of beef being kept for
seventy-two hours after being taken
from the refrigerator. Armstrong said
he expressed the opinion that it was i'm
possible, to which General Eagan re-
piled that Swift & Co. and Armour both
had knowledge of a process by which
beef could be kept for that length of
time
