Mayor French said today that in his
opinion no more troops would be need
ed here. Company c. now on duty,
consists of 60 men," he said, land the
number can be increased to 100 if nee
essary. Besides these soldiers we
jhave 100 armed deputies. The civil au-
| thorities have perfect mastery of the
situation. Should the military turn ov-
er their prisoners to the civil authori.
ties there will be no lynching'

against Alf Miller, who it is said. start
ed the riot, former City Marshal

union men who fred upon the people
from union hall had been deputies, and

ers declare that the Western Fedora
ton will be banished from the district
while the union men assert that it is

do with the dynamiting and that they

chants have also closed up. All who
can, are taking out additional insur-
ance. J
