 declared martial law in Shoshone courf- | ty and with the assistance of the Uni- ted States troops conducted the coun- | ty government for nearly one year.

 union and the company. which culmin-
 ated fin the blowing up of the companies concentrator and the destruction of property valued at $300,000.
 The miners seized an engine at Wal | lace and making up a train of twenty | flat cars rode to Wardner, a distance Of twelve miles. each of the 1000 men on board carrying stick of dynamite. When Wardner was reached the men
 marched to the concentrator and de-
 posited the dynamite in the mill. The dynamite was exploded and the
 mill blown to atoms. In a fight with
 the employees of the mill three of the miners were killed. United States | troops were sent into the district, and
 Gen. H. C. Merriam was placed in com mand He put cordon about the dis trict and with the troops at his com mand, arrested more than 1000 men. took them to Wardner and confined them in an enclosure known as the | Dull pen.

 county officials and sent representa-
 tive to Wardner to administer county
 affairs. After long trial. the leaders
 in the instruction were sent to prison.
