(Snecial TO The HeraldO

Boise, Ida, July 9.-Very soon after
Governor Steunenberg entered upon his
official duties in 1897, he was confronted
by the Couer d'Alene question. Under
the former administration some militia
companies had been organized in that
section in order that a force might be
at hand with which the state could
preserve order in case of any threat
ened outbreak. These companies were
recruited from among the ranks of nom
union men, principally at Wardner and
some other points. Their presence
greatly disturbed the miners unions,
and Governor Steunenberg had no
sooner been installed in office than a
movement was started to have these
military organizations disbanded.
One of the first steps in this move
ment was taken by the Shoshone coun-
~ delegation in the legislature. all the
members of which were elected on the
miners union ticket. This delegation,
five in number. waited on the governor
and earnestly requested him to dishand
the militia. He asked his visitors
whether he could depend upon order
being maintained in that section of the
state in the event of his acceding to
their request. They assured him very
positively that it would contribute to
the interests OF law and order to have
the military companies disbanded. be-
cause, as they said. the militiamen were
an aggravatinS element in the COM
munity, likely. by their alleged insol-
ence, to precipitate trouble at any time.
Approved OF Murder.
After talking over this feature of the
subject at some length. the governor
asked his visitors very pointedly if they
could assure him that there would be
no more outrages like the 'Kneebone"
murder if he should disband the mill
tia The murder referred To was a
specially aggravated instance of
crime committed by these unions.
KneebUne was murdered in broad day
light while the SuDerintendent of a
mine at which he WAS employed and
two other workmen were run out of
the country.
The delegation parried the govern
or's question. and he repeated it, and
finally brought forth the response from
one of the men that it was a different
kind of a matter. The governor asked
him TO explain himself, and he bluntly
stated that Kneebone deserved to be
removed.
This statement astounded the gov
ernor. and he asked why Kneebone de-
served to be removed. He was told that
it was because the murdered man had
made himself obnoxious.
But how did h.. make himself OBJ
noXiOus?" asked the governor.
We'll, he talked against the union;
he declared that he could get along
without belonging to the union"
And do you mean to say" asked the
governor. that a man should be killed.
who thus makes himself obnoxious. as
you call it, to a portion of the COM
munity?"
The member of the legislature plain
" stated that was his meaning
The governor appealed to each of the
other visitors TO know of they all con-

they did.

sheriff of this county last year, now I'M

who waited upon the governor upon the
occasion referred to.

request 10 disband the militia.

CONNECTED WITH DREYFUs.
Scandalous Reports Regarding Death
of Signor Resonant.

Paris, July 9-Scandalous reports
are in circulation in connection vita
the death here yesterday of Signor
Resstman, formerly Italian ambassador
TO France. 1t is alleged that while he
was lying at the point of death three
persons, including an official of the
Italian embassy. rified his rooms and
took away a quantity of papers.
The anti-Semite journals connect the
story with the Dreyfus affair. 1t ap-
pears that about a fortnight ago Sig
nor Resstman had an immense quanu-
ty of documents destroyed, declaring
that if they were left they might
harm various people" 1t is also sug-
gested that the search may have been
instigated by Signor Crispi. the former
Italian premier. who practically dis
missed Signor Resstman from the Ital-
ian embassy in Paris in 1895. because
the diplomatist had failed to make the
French press favorable to the Crispi
government.
