Id'Alenes in 1892 when a pitched bat
tie was fought between union miners
and the mineowners ana non-union
men on one side which was ended by
the union men farming the water
from the penstock OF the Frisco mill
at Gem and dropping boxes OF dyna-
mite into IL which were exployded,
destroying the mill. Judge James H..
Beatty OF the United States district
court for Idaho, at a special term
held at Coeur d'Alene City, tried
George Pettibone and 21 other de-
PENDANTS on the charge OF conspiracy
to obstruct the processes of the Uni
ted States court.
James II. Hawley of Boise and Pat
Reddy OF San Francisco, were at
torneys for the defendants in that
case as we'll as In numerous other
cases wherein between 700 and 500
indictments were returned.
Pettibone had at one time been
president of Gem union, but at the
time OF the battle at Gem and dur
ing the time that was charged in his
indictment for conspiracy. he was a
justice of the peace OF Gem precinct
Pettibone and his 21 associates were
convicted and sentenced TO imprison-
ment for term OF two years and
they were sent to Detroit, Mich, to
serve their terms. Hawley took an
appeal TO the supreme court of the
United States and his clients were
released on a teehnieality.
Pettibone never returned TO Ida
no, bat located in Denver, where he
went into business. But ne never
lost his interest in and his friend
ship for the miners union and was
always found associating with miners
and later, when the headquarters OF
the Western Federation were moved
to Denver, he became the intimate
and associate with the officers of the
federation and was given an honor
AIRY membership in their annual con-
yention.
Edward Boyce and some 20 asso-
eiates were sentenced to terms cary
ing from a few months TO two years
for contempt of court for violating
an injunction issued by Judge Beat
ty restraining the miners from inter-
fering with any OF the mining prop
erty. They served the time in Ada
county jail at Boise until released
upon appeal of their cases; Boyce
serving some 20 months.
1t was while so confined that Ed.
BOyce, Dan Harrington, Hugh Nc
Gee, Pointer. o'Brien and other call
ed Hawley into a consultation where
ideas We're suggested and discussed
