vesugate the Occur d'Alene troubles,
and it will find just what every disi1-
terested observed has found who has
carefully looked into the matter. The
blowing up OF the Bunker Hill mill in
April. 1899, was one Of series OF out
RACES committed by the lawless element
which had been terror1zing the Coeur
d'Alene region for eight years. The
state authorities decided that the reign
Of outlawry should come to an end, and
In order to accomplish what they set
out to do II was necessary to call on the
federal government for aid. That aid
was given. order was restored. the min
Ing district was purged OF its malefac-
tors. and the people there now enjoy a
peace and quiet such as has not existed
for nearly a decade.
