early today found herself an armed
camp, with national guardsmen wait
ing grimly at the armory for the ad-

Reports last night that an invasion

held in readiness at the armory all

The /. w. w, were rumored to be
advancing on the four main railroads
leading into the city, hundreds COM
ing from the Butte mines and other
hundreds dropping their tools in the
timber belt.
Whether they heard Of the recep-
ton that awaited them and turned
back or whether the report was with
out foundation was in doubt early to-
day.
Guard Modified
Mobilization of the national guard
last night came as climax to events
of the late afternoon, when American
Legion headquarters received a let
ter signed by Erred Rushman, man
aging secretary of the I. ". W."
The letter threatened nine leaders
of Nthe Spokane post with massacre
unless they desisted IN their attacks
on the syndicalists. --
The legion promptly answered this
letter by having 100 members of its
forces sworn in as special police.
Armed with army 'gats. brought
back from France, they awaited eag-
erly at police headquarters until late
last night for something to happen.
Two hundred special police all told
were sworn in yesterday afternoon
Among them were the nine legioners
marked for slaughter.

With 22 police armed to the teeth
guarding the courtroom, the 58 al
legged /. w. w. arrested in Thursdays
raids were tried in police court late
yesterday and So were found guilty of
criminal syndicalism.
Each was given 80 days in the city
Jail and fined $500.

torney, was marked hold for depor
tation."
The prisoners were not represented
by counsel. They entered their socall

branded as "dastardly" and recon-
mendations are made that aliens be
given the choice Of being Americana
