UuNc Kcirultii a Way Home Meet W Ith Troubles. (Baker Democrat.) Two soldiers' of the regular army garrison stationed at Fort Boise, at Boise, Idaho, are in jail in this city, as the result of their attempt to run things In the red light district last night, The two belligerents were of a party of several men who stopped off in this city on their way home from the national encampment. Their train went through here yesterday afternoon and the men getting off as it sood in the station missed It, eitber accidentally or by intent. In tending, so they state1, to go on last evening. About 11:30 last evening the two offenders went to tte redllght dis trict, entered one of the houses and tried to run things to suit them selves. They were forcibly ejected, and drawing their revolvers threat ened to shoot up the place and pro ceeded to kick in the front door. A call was sent to the police and Offi cer Nelson responded. The two dis turbers, when 4hey saw him ap proaching, tried to make a getaway, but he caught op with them. One of them drew' bis gun but Nelson drew flret and soon disarmed them both, tbey making little resistance when he "got the drop" on them. They were taken to the city Jail and lodged in a cell, where tbey will have a chance to cool off by the time police court opens this fflfroill. They . gave the names of Johit Johnson and E. E. Omera, but these are probably ' fictitious. They had little or no money when arrested. Their offense against the United States army is punishable by greater penalty than the charges against them here, and the actions will re sult in bringing severe punishment on their heads when" they are return ed to the Boise barracks.
