reign Of terror which Il symholized BY the
murder Of Kneebone.
Masked and armed, q little crowd Of
despeEadoes moved up the canyon and II

their victims must either qui. work or
suffer the consequences. The Standard.

most Of the erimeA Between and z
o'clock in the morning three NAKED men
crept in past the line Of sentinels and
made their way 70 the boiler house. The
fireman, r l. Hudson, one Of the Joplin
miners, was on duty alone. A he TUNED
from the glare Of the furnaces. he waa
confronted in the doorway BY the thres
men with drawn Fevolver4 Each Of them
was marked in black calico, which reached
from forehead to chin. Two holes for the
eyes permitted each Of the thugs to see.
Hudson, who Il not = tim0rous soul,

lark.
He'll" said be.
For reply one Of the gang stepped for
ward and pressed piece Of erumpIed "a.
per into his hand. There, written in Lead
pencil on common note paper, was this
message:
~YOu are hereby warned 10 leave the
Occur d'Alene district by noon tomorrow
or suffer the consequence"
Then Hudson understood, but with calm
self possession he remained at ease.
IN get out Of here when get good

Meanwhile the smallest Of the three men
had gone over to the compressor house,
a short distance away, where Engineer
Wayne was at work. Through the open
window he tossed note similar to the one
given Hudson and then returned to his
comrades on guard over the fireman. A
moment later the three had disappeared
in the darkness As suddenly As they had
come
A little later in came Wayne, the en-
gineer, white and anxious He had been
in the Coeur d,Alenes in the old union
days and had little liking for such warn-
ingA He had seen what resulted. I'm

Meanwhile : gang had met Ellis Hale
just below Burke and after stealing his
tools had warned him to leave on fear Of
being 'Kneeboned-" Hale needed no Sec
ond invitation, but took the train for

Chris Watt Found Dead.

Word was brought to town Thursday
about noon that Chris Watt, an eccentric
character who has lived for many years
on Rock River few miles east of town,
was found dead at his home. Justice
Spencer visited the home and found the
report true, the body of Watt lying
curled up in corner of the kitchen in
pool of blood. He returned and secured
a coroner's jury, repaired to the scene
where an inquest is being held as we go
to press. The neighbors say that Watt
had been acting queerly for some time
and was believed to be insane. Whether
he took his own life or met death from
the hands of others is matter which
the inquest is trying to solve.
