PcttlboDe Arrested.

Many Of the rioters were arrested,
the Press of July %, 1892, says:
THE arrest of George A. Pettibone
giveoi general satisfaction throughout
the camp. He was for a long time
justice 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
of town the morning after the Frisco
mill was blown up. During the fight
at Gem, Pettibone was shot in the
hand.
HE took to the hills at the ap-
proach Of the soldiers. His wounded
hand became SO painful and danger
ously bad requiring the aid of ply
sicians, he returned to Gem and was
arrested by the soldiers. He was
lodged in Jail and is watched by a
special guard. A charge of murder
will be laid against him, as it is stat
| ed that it was he who fired the shot
that killed Ivony Bean"

EIIKS DIED FITTING.
Two Carcasses With Horns Inter-
Locked Found In Mountain.

A special from Lewiston says:
Their horns locked in secure en-
brace, two large elk died battling for
mastery Of the herd, the battle end
ing in the death of both, either from
exhaustion or starvation, according
to the story told by j. NJ. Harbaugh,
state fish and game inspector, who
has Just returned from a trip into the
mountains.
Although a hunter familiar with
the habits of big game, Mr.. Harbaugh
was astonished to find the whitening
carcasses of the elk high up in the
mountains, near the junction Of the
Solway and the Lochsn rivers, in the
Bitterroots.
How long the giants had battled or
Just when the fight occurred is a
matter of speculation, but it is said
to have occurred several months ago.
The fierceness of the struggle in the
mortal combat is shown by the dis
turbance of earth and underbrush
around the carcasses. Mr.. Harbaugh
says the animals evidently fought for
hours, their branching horns finally
becoming SO firmly locked that they
could not part them.
One pair of horns measured "A 1-2
inches from tip to tip. the other pair
being somewhat smaller. Rats had
gnawed one pair so badly that their
beauty was destroyed. Mr.. Har-
,baugh brought the large pair home
with him and will have them mount
ed. He reports that evidence Of big
game are plentiful, both elk and deer
coming lower than usual.

Just at this time it is interesting
to know that in 1892 George A. Pet
tibone, 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. says the Wallace
Press.
For several months trouble had
been brewing in the Coeur d'Alene
mining district which eliminated in
what is known as the Canyon creek
horror and the Old Mission outrage.
resulting In the destruction Of much
property, the loss of many lives, and
the proclamation of martial law July
IL, 1892.
The Old Mission troubles is 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 nom
nnion miners, about 80 or 80 in num-
ber, who had been driven out of
Gem, were awaiting the arrival of the
steamer oaks, they were fired upon
by party of union men, killing and
wounding a number. The survivors
ran to the woods for shelter, follow
ed by the strikers, who shot the ffugi-
tives whenever an opportunity offer
ed.
zone of the party told US thate his
partner was shot down by his side
while they were running for cover.
Another told us that while in hiding
he saw q 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 dis
charge as everything was in such
great confusion. Another man at
'tempted to swim the river to make his
escape, was fired upon and made to
return. and was robbed of his cloth
ipg ard then told to skip.
Another while fleeing for his life,
was shot down close to another party
in hiding. one of the murderers MAX
ing the remark that the murdered man
had stuff, they proceeded to rob the
dead man in the most approved style"
The Press tells how the troops were
rushed from Missoula, Montana, into
the district via Coeur dAlene city on
| account of the riots having destroyed
the Northern Pacific tracks entering
the Occur d'Alenes from the east.
Many of the wounded were brought
to Coeur d'Alene. Twenty-Five out
of the $50 non-union men were never
accounted for.
Non-Union Men Run Out.
The Frisco mill was blown into
| splinters by a car of miners dyna-
mite. Charles Sweeney was impris-
oned by the dynamiters. The Bunker
Hill & Sullivan mine was guarded by
275 men who placed dynamite in the
mill and then notified the mill man
ayers to discharge the non-union men
or have the mill blown to atoms. The
800 non-union men were discharged
and run out of the country. The
