The arrest of George Pettibone gives
general Satisfaction throughout the
camp. He was for long time JUS
tlce OF the peace at Gem, and the
principal agitator of that disastrous
raid. He and some other union men
drove Thomas Ward, a butcher, out

mill was blown up. During the fight
at Gem, PettIbone was shot in the

approach of the soldiers. His

aid of physician, he returned to Gem

Just at this time IL is interesting
to know that in 1892 George A
Pettibo ne, who is on trial for his life
at Boise was sentenced to two years
In prison for conspiracy in the Occur
d'Alene riots and that the trial was
held in our city.
For several months trouble had
been brewing in the Occur d'Alene

resulting in the destruction of much
property, the loss of many lives, and
the proclaiming of NATAL law July
IA, 1892.
The Old Mission troubles ia told
In the Press columns of July 16,
1892, as follows.
"a most dastardly outrage was per.
petrated at the Old Mission last
Tuesday evening. While the non-un
ion miners, about eighty or ninety in
number, who had been driven out
Of Gem, were awaiting the arrival of
the steamer Oaks, they were fred
upon by party of Union men, kill
ling and wounding a number, the
survivors ran to the woods for shell
ter, followed by the strikers who
shot the fugitivss whenever an OPP
portunity offered. One of the party
told us that his pardner was shot
down by his side while they we're run
ming for cover. Another told us that
while in hiding he saw a man killed
and robbed, then thrown into the
river. Firing could be heard at
short intervals in every direction
until after dark. Our informant
could not tell how many were killed
In the first discharge as everything
was in such great confusion. An
other man attempted to swim the riv-
er to make his escape, was fred upon
and made to return, and was robbed
Of his clothing and then told to skip.
Another while fleeing for his life
was shot down close to another party
in hiding, one of the nIurderers
making the remark, that the murdered
man had stuff, they proceeded to rob
the dead man in the most approved
style of a border highwayman.
The Press tells how the troops we're
rushed from Missoula, Montana, into
the district via Occur d'Alene city
on account Of the riots having des-
trOyed the Northern Pacific tracks
entering the Occur d'Alenes from
the east.
Many of the wounded we're brought
to Occur d'Alene. twenty-five out of
the $50 non union men were never
accounted for.

States Supreme court for final de
oision. In his deaision Judge
Pritchard declared that:
ANY attempt at punishment under

to punish the company or its agents
for the observance of the order and
decree Of this court, would be in
utter disregard Of the comfy which
should exist between the state aud

The state court has also fined the
Southern railroad $50, OO0 and
execution has been ordered issued
and no doubt will be resisted. Thus
the question of State Rights and
Home Rule is made the chief ques
tion and must be decided before the
real issue of whether the rate reduc-
tion is reasonable or confiscatory can
bee settled. 1t is to be noted that
Judge Pritohard is a late appointee
OF President Roosevelt and was no
toriously favorable to the railroads
before he was appointed and from his
actions would appear to be still Of
that mind. This would indicate that
President Roosevelt although de
string to appear as railroad reg

states protecting their citizens from

would not have appointed a friend Of

Mail Clerks rIust Pay Fares.

Sioux Falls.-The discovery that
ailway mail clerks are not exempt.
ed from the provisions of the anti.
pass law recently enacted by the
state legislature, and which has al.
ready gone into effect, having con.
tanned an emergency clause, created
a sensation among the railway mail
clerks here and elsewhere in the
state, whose routes are in South Da.
kota. By an oversight il is now a
violation of the law for mail clerks
to ride on the trains and handle the
mails of Uncle Sam without paying
full fare. Some of the conductors
are collecting full fares from the
mail clerks, while others are pass
ing them until they can receive in
structions from headquarters. La
the cases of the mai clerks who are
required to pay their fares, they
pay out for this purpose about as
much as their salary. 1t appears
that their only relief will be the
tedious one of having congress re-
imburse them for the sums expend-
ed for railroad fares.
