WANT TROOPS 70 REMAIN.
A Reign Of Terror and Tyranny,
Seldom EquaIIed,
PETITION OF $500 CITIZENS.

Washington, April 3,-Governor
steuenberg, of Idaho, called at the war
department and presented In person to
Secretary Root the petition to which ho
referred while under examination be-
fore tho house committee on military
affairs, In favor OF retention OF federal
troopsin the disturbed mining districts
The governor had refused TO produce
the petition before the committee until
he had first submitted IL to the secre-
tary OF war, TO whom IL was addressed,
The petition bears about $500 sigma.
lures, and recites that all of the signers
are citizens OF Idaho and OF the county
OF Shoshone and the Occur D'Alenc
mining district, They petition that
the secretary OF war allow the small
force OF federal troops to remain in the
quarters provided for them and occu-
pied by them at the town of Osborn,
Shoshone county, for as long time as
Governor Stuenberg may think their
presence necessary for the preservation
of peace and order.
The citizens also express their mp.
proval Of all the acts that have been
done by the governor and the officials
OF the state to preserve peace and order
and to bring criminals to justice.
The petition says that some OF the
acts OF the state authorities may ap-
pear to people at distance to be
drastic and severe, but the signers, who
are familiar with the conditions which
existed for several years prior to the
declaration Of martial law, last May,
know that drastic measures were neces-
sary TO stop the band OF conspirators
who, shielding themselves behind the
name of labor organizations, had
created reign Of terror and tyranny
seldom equalcd
In conclusion the signers beg to state
that the efforts of the governor and
state officials, assisted by the military
authorities, have brought peace and
good order to the district and given an
impetus to all business interests and u
sense Of safety to all people, which are
and for which the signers
are grateful.
