are in a great measure due to the con-
duct of the governor of that state.
The conduct Of the military from
May Q to the present, amid the disturb
ing elements of the Occur d,Alenes,
when fierce passions famed unchecked,
when nc hand was raised to stay the
dynamiter and the murderer, where the
mob has been supreme, is a matter OF
earnest c~ongratulation to the country.
AS to the presidents course, the re-
port said:
It is considered on all sides that
the president of the United States was
justified in sending troops to Shoshone
county, Idaho. in response to the appii,
cation of the governor. The United
States troops have now gone into gar
rison eight miles from the scene OF the
trouble and they are retained at the
request of the governor, supported by
a petition Of 1900 citizens. None OF
the charges pending against the United
States army and it's officers in Idaho
has been sustained by the testimony
The sheriff and many other county off
Gals were in collision with the rioters
and therefore civil authority could not
be enforced. The United States army
acted strictly under their instruction.

frame of mind for several days and

Burke and rode to Wardner. Arrived
there pickets were thrown out, it was
found that the huge Bunker Hill and
Sullivan properties were unguarded, and
40 men, masked, and carrying 5000
pounds Of giant powder, set blasts, the
d~etonations Of which still ring, igura.
lively, in the ears Of tens of thousands
of Idaho's lawabiding citizens. Elk,
plosions, fire and bloodshed reigned

morning there were dead and wounded
and the ashes Of $250,OOO worth OF
property. .'.' $50 \

considered the most important in the
