WARDNER, Idaho, April 29-Wardner
today has ben the scene of the worst riots
since the deadly labor war of 1892 One
man is dead, another is thought to be
mortally wounded, and property valued
at $250,000 has been destroyed by giant
powder and fire. The damage was done
by union miners and sympathizers from
Canyon Creek, about twenty miles from
Wardner. This morning a mob of about
800 to LOCO men, all of them armed and
many of them masked, seized a train ut
Burke, the head of Canyon creek The
visitors brought with them 5000 pounds of
Giant powder.
After a parley of two hours 14O masked
men from Burke and Wardner, armed
with Winchester rifles, started with yells
for the Bunker hill and Sullivan mill
and other buildings third of a mile from
the depot. They sent pickets ahead, and
one of the pickets fired a shot as a sig
nal that the mill was abandoned This
was misunderstood by the main body of
the mob, who imagined that non-union
miners in the hills had opened fire on
them, and they began to fire upon their
own pickets About 200 shots were thus
exchanged between the rioters and their
pickets, and Jack Smith, one of the pick
cts, formerly of British Columbia. and
a noted figure in drill contests, was shot
dead. The fatal error was discovered
after a few seconds firing, and Smiths
body was brought down from the hillside.

manager having directed his employees

strikers, carrying the dead body of the
picket, retired to safe distance.

President Mckinley replied as follows

majesty's telegram regarding the joining
of the two continents by a direct cable.
1t afforded a genuine qualification to
give consent to the landing of this new

BOISE, Idaho, April 29.-The action of
the union miners in taking possession
of Bunker Hill and Sullivan miners. at
Wardner, is looked upon as a very grave
matter by the state officials. Gov.

days, and is unable to give serious at

in consultation with other state officials.
He has sent State Auditor Sinclair North
with authority to represent him. The
governor declines to make any state

to exhaust every resource in enforcing
the law. The enlisting of volunteers al

the necessity for Il multitude Of reser-
yoirs Is not apparent.
Our law makers have at all times
endeavored to guard the public domain
with Jealous vigilance. and the desire
of Congress Is to protect the lands
from falling into the hands of large

lance many acts have been repealed,
leaving only the homestead act in
agricultural districts under which the
settler can secure Il home for himself.
While this reservoir act does not seq
regate the land to the exclusion of
the homesteader. yet as it is attempted
to be applied, unless checked. might
cloud the title to every quarter section
of the public lands. and in Il short
time the homestead law would be n

doubled. Marriage laws in Puerto Rico
