Rioters to be Set Free.

The Bull pen doors will be opened
on December l and the men released on
parole.
"All of the prisoners now being held
III the bull pen at Wardner will be re-
leased by Dec. l." said Auditor Bartlett
Sinclair Thursday at Spokane.
"There are now "a prisoners in the
Wardner prison, being held under
military or martial law. Some of these
men are indicted, others are restrained
as matter Of military necessity. They
will be tried by the state when it is deem
| ed wise.
The prison will not be abandoned at
the present time, hut its disposition will
turn no future events Some of the
| buildings, no doubt, will be used by the
| federal troops at the new post at Osburn.
With the release of the prisoners the
state, of course, will have no further
need of state deputies, and it is expected
that the county will maintain and rigidly
| enforce all the civil laws and martial
proclamations.
1.-The county has, fortunately, reached
that condition when it can, with the
presence Of the troops, maintain order.
There is no fear of an outbreak or dis
turbance SO long as the troops are
present.
| 1.-The new post at Osburn, which, so
far as is known, will be temporary in
stitution, will be constructed for the ac-
| commouaton of 200 men and the same
number of horses, that being the number
of men and animals that will remain
there all winter. Capt. Edwards has re-
ceived orders to construct suitable shelter
for his men and horses.

bull pen will be retired when the prison
is closed Last night Adjutant General
Weaver was mastering in company of
100 militiamen at Burke. This with the
| Wardner company will make 200 state
militia. A large number of these men
consist of soldiers returned from the Phil
| ippines. Both of these companies conf
pare tavorably in appearance and merit
with the federal troops. They will be
fully armed and equipped and the state
will take special interest i'll their mainte-
nance and support.
ut is pleasing to note the substantial
evidences of prosperity in the Occur
ld'Alenes. The Bunker Hill and Sullivan
mine is employing 200 men more than at
any time in its history. That means I'M
