SPECIAL GRAND
JURY IN IDAHO
Charges Brought Against Dis
triCt Attorney RuiCk for the
Land Fraud Indictments.

Boise, Ida, Sept. 12.-Judge Dietrich in
the federal court this morning issued an
order for a special grand jury to appear
on Thursday. September 49, The order
was issued at the instance Of Judge NJ c.
Burch, special assistant attorney general
of the United States, who is here for
the purpose Of inquiring into matters in
connection with the Idaho land frauds.
Owing to the statement by Judge Dietrich
that no grand jury would be called for
this term the order created great sur
prise.
1t IS understood here that the order was
really the result of a plea in abatement
filed by the attorneys for Frank Martin,
one of the men indicted with Senator
Borah and others, which plea makes
serious and sensational charges of mis-
conduct on the part Of United States At
torney Ruck. These charges are that
RuiCk used force and coercion in securing
the Indictment of BOrah and his fellow
defendants and are supported by the
affidavits of three of the grand jurymen.
They set forth that Ruick argued the case
before the jury and presented indict-
ments in blank, which he insisted the
Jurors should sign before he would leave
the room. Similar affidavits are to be
presented by other members of the recent
grand jury, according to the attorneys in
the case.

Ously, by an explosion of coal dust in
mine No. 10 of the Union Pacific Coal

runaway cars, which dashed down the
slope on the rails for 200 feet, jumped
the track and continued several hundred
feet farther on the floor of the slope
raising dense cloud of coal dust. At
the mouth of entry No. 5 forty miners

through the town intense excitement was

the mine. The arrival of the injured at
the surface caused great relief. Twenty

New York Sept. 12.-The Amalgamated
Copper company is about to shut down its
mines about Butte, Mont. for an indefi-

that the suspension of operations is due

nOuncement there is now q surplus sup
ply of $4,000. 600 pounds of refined copper

Casa Blanca, Wednesday, Sept. 1.-THE
allied FraucO-Spanish army today made
a sudden and successful move on Tad
dert, where the Moors were massed in
force The camp of the latter was de-
stroyed by bombardment and the enemy
was put to flight. leaving many dead
on the field. The French lost one man
killed and six wounded
The attack was carefully planned and
was based largely on the observations
OF the MOOrS' positions from a military
balloon. The allied army. which was d.
Vlded into two columns, left the camp at
O'Clock in the morning, leaving several
companies of infantry TO defend the base
at casa blanca. The first column was
composed of four companies of regular in
fantry, several companies of sharpshoot-
ers, a battery of artillery and all the
cavalry. The second column consisted Of
six companies of infantry and a bat
terry of artillery. The march was skill
fully carried out under the cover of
fog, until half way to Taddert, when
the fog lifted and disclosed several large
bands of the enemy. The allies then
charged at the point of the bayonet, and
although the MOOrs resisted with theri
old-time courage, they were finally com
PEELED to retreat in the face of a superior
force and both Of the columns Of the
allied troops advanced on Taddert
Advance Of the Allies.
After the bOmbardment of that place
by the French artillery, well by the
guns of the French cruiser GICire which
fired seventy-five shells, the allied in
fantry advanced on the Moorish camp,
where the enemy was making a last
desperate stand. A short engagement fol-
lowed and the MoOrs fled in wild disorder
pursued for several miles by the irregular
Algerian cavalry in the French service.
The Moorish camp was completely de-
stroyed. The exact loss of the Moors Is
not known, as they carried away many
of their dead.
Wneh the MoOrs saw their camp I'm
flames. they set fire to all the farms
and woods they could reach and the sur
rounding cOhntTy was covered with smoke
and flames.
The NIOGTs endeavOred to circle rapidly
in front of the advancing troops with
the object of cutting off and surrounding
a section Of the allied forces, but the
attempt utterly failed, largely on account
of the rapid advance. which seemed to
puzzle the MOOrs. When assailed from
a long line of troops, the MOors re
treated from the front, where many Of
them fell under the accurate fire of the
field artillery and the guns of the Gloire.
