1nAFn,s RIOT QUESTION.
EFisfore ar \ Interview Between the
Gov nor and Legislators.

Gov nor and Legislators.
Boise Issha, July 10.-Soon after Gov
arrgr s.rrrsu serg entered upon his official
dulles iu 7se he was confronted by the
Corr AIene Innings riots question. IN
lcf the former administration some mill
;Gry author les had been organized in
that se, on 90 order that a force might
be .t 5ld win which the State could
reserve order in case of any future out
break The companies were recruited from
among the ranks of non-union men, prin-
cipally at Wardner. Their presence great
ly disturbed the miners unions and Gov
ernor Steuenberg had no sooner been in
stalled than a movement was started to
have the military organizations disbanded-
One of the first steps in this movement
was taken by the Shoshone county delega-
tion 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 re-
quested him TO disband the militia. He
asked his visitors whether he could depend
upon order being maintained. They as
sured him very positively that it would
contribute TO the interest of law and order
to have the military companies disbanded.
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 II he
should disband the military. The murder
referred TO was specially aggravated in
stance of crime committed by the union
men. kneebone murdered in broad
daylight, while the superintendent of the
mine at which he was employed and two
other workmen were run out of the coun-
try.
The delegation parried the governors
question, but he repeated it, and finally
brought forth the response from one of
the men that it was a different kind of
matter. The governor asked him TO ex-
plain himself. and he bluntly stated that
Kneebone deserved to be removed. The
statement astounded the governor. and he
asked why Kneebone deserved to be re-
moved. He was told that it was because
he murdered man had made himself OBJ
noxious.
But how has he made himself obnox-
ious?" 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 ii, to a portion of the community"
The member of the legislature plainly
stated that this was his meaning The
governor appealed to each of the other
visitors to know if they all concurred in
that view. and they all said they did. James
ID. Young who was elected sheriff of this
county last year, now under arrest in con-
nection with the recent riots, was one of
the Legislators who waited upon the gov
ernor. The governor did not grant the Ie-
quest to disb2nd the militia

a model young man, but when he returned
from the war he became shiftless, and
lately his parents could do nothing with
him. He went home drunk on Saturday
night and demanded money. He did not
get any, and he then told his father that
if he did not buy him off he would set
fire to the house and burn up the whcle
family. Durell tried to reason with his
son, but without effect. The fellow, see
ing at last that his demands would not be
granted, poured kerosene over the hallway
carpet and set fire TO il. Mr.. Durell called

house at the time and the two, assisted
by other members of the family, succeed
