RIOTERS HAVE GONE
BACK TO WORK.,
Sympathizers Are Not Talking So
Much.
Have Taken Second Thought and Reflected
on Consequences.
Inquiries Regarding Martial Law,
but No Attempt at Punishment
Likely Unless by Federal Au-
thorities-Miners Well Organ
lied and Likely to Resist Arrest,
Which Would Make Many
Troops Necessary.

SPOKANE. April 30-A special to
the Spokesman Review from Wal
lace, Idaho, says: Practically all OF
yesterdays Wardner rioters are back
at work. Those from Canyon Creek
nearly all went home at midnight, while
this mornings train from Missoula took
the balance of these from Mullan. The
understanding last night was that Jack
Smith, the Burke man killed at KEEL
log, would be buried here to-day, but
the funeral has been postponed. There
is much less talk to-day than yester-
day. Sympathizers with the rioters
having had time to consider the matter
calmly have begun to think of the prab-
able consequences. Many inquiries are
made as to the likelihood of martial law
and the proba BILE outcome of an attempt
to punish the evil-doers by some power
really desirous of melting out justice.
There is no talk of any attempt at pun
ishment unless by Federal authorities.
Governor Steunenberg's estimate of
800 troops being necessary to preserve
peace is all right if nothing more is
desired, but should arrests be attempted
many more will be needed. The miners
are nearly dii aiHieu anu tieli POSITIONS
in Canyon Creek and at Mullan are
nearly impregnable, while the country
is full of men and women who will fur
nish all possible information to them.
These men will hesitate at nothing
should their liberty be endangered. The
thoroughness of their organization was
shown in the way the clans were gath
cred yesterday morning. Sympathizers
all along the line We're ready when the
train arrived, dropping whatever was
in hand to go. The amount of powder
used at Wardner was greater than sup
posed here, fully forty boxes having
been taken at the Frisco magazine.
Four explosions were distinctly heard
here and three at Murray, fifteen miles
on an airline across the mountains.

COPPER RIVER PRospEcToRs
A Repetition. Of the Story of Priva
ton and Death.

SEATTLE, April 30.-Sixty pros
pectors arrived here to-day from Cop
per River, Alaska, on the steamer Elk
celsior. They brought with them a
repetition of the story of privation and
death and many bore evidence on their
bodies of the ravages of scurvy and
frost. A man named Young hobbled off
the vessel on the stumps of two legs.
Another named Alex Powell had but
one foot
F. c. Goodwin of Oakland, Cal, whose
legs are black with scurvy and whose
knees are bruised by contact with the
ice, tells an interesting story of his ex-
periences, which were similar to that
of others. While camped in the in
terror his partner Wesley Scheidecker
of Grand Ridge, ILL.,, fell sick with the
scurvy and soon became unable to trav-
ell Goodwin strapped him on a sled and
started to the coast After four days
of almost herculean labor he arrived
at the mouth of the Chitna River but
his partner was frozen stark and stiff
to his sled. He buried him in the
snow. Continuing his journey to the
coast he came across tent in which
there were two men sick with scurvy.
and the Brawlins of Little Rock Ark.
Another man happened along at the
same time and he and Goodwin put
Brawlin's and Hutton on the sled and
dragged them to the coast. Other
deaths are reported but their names
are lacking.
just before the Excelsior left Valdes
big slide was reported on the glacier
but no particulars were learned. 1t
was rumored that a party of prospec-
tors were coming from the interior and
it was feared they might have been
caught in the slide.
The Government expedition under
Captain Abercrombie were arranging
to begin the construction of road into
the interior when the Excelsior left.
Relief parties with provisions and anti
scorbutics had been sent into the in
terror.
