The "Wardoer News -prtate the following
Caabtic review of the first amber of the
Miners' MaeaataMt, a pwMteaitfan, fathered

Law ard Boyce, who Jmc hem much given
t3 denunciation of the locoes that have
1 rought order to ghoahonfe OQtiBty since
tie nnnere Hot of laet April:
A few weeks ao the News ma&e allu
t.jn to the Mittens' Magazine, which was
coon to appear, wiUt Bftward Boyce aa
cu.t.ir in-chief, and general manager. At
that Lime e stated that .(the ""Dynamiter"
c r the ' Anarchist" would be a more suit
ar p name, and that preiiUction was fully
'unfirmed by a perusal of the magazine
I, question, of which a copy has been
Lardeu n to this efioe for inspection.
Th" Miners' Magaaitw is simply a glorl
f "at on of crime aad an eulogy of eriml
:u..a from one end to the other. For a
f- li5piece it oarrtos a pttotogram of a
rn, a convicted murderer, -who is now
e n a g a 17 years' sentence for that awful
crrK' in the state penitentiary of Idaho.
Ar J o t r the head of thks atrocious mur
c rcr and ootwjrfrator they have twined
a wreath of laurel as a mark of honor
a-d esteem.
Llward Boyce, ha vine served a term
In 'LP penitentiary la -which the ur
" r, forcorau, Is now confined, might
Lo rardoned hy persons of low and brutal 1
ir unities for hie expression of sym
r'!y with a fetlow-erttalnal, but that he
" uld have the -unspeakable audacity to
. " t upon the people of a civilised com-
irmty a magaaine whose sole purpose'!
1 3 'o glorify crlmnala, extol murder and
ircjn and blacon evtt deeds generally,
--raises belief.
A little of Oorooran'8 biography from
ca 'a a veracious chronicler as Edward
12 3 possesses some points of interest.
H was born In the county of Sltgo, Ire
land, and in MM was married to Bridget
"Dojle and emigrated to Montana. As a
I roof that they have not been idle all
tli s time his biographer submits the fact
that they have four children living. The
las a boy, was born no longer ago than
X mber S, ISM, and was "named John
B je Corcoran, a a mark of esteem in
w 1 ch they held the president of the West
eii Tederatton of Miners," so says the
Magaaine.
And it says further that he was always
I nest and manly." This, the deecri:
1 n of a thug, who put a mask on his
faT, and with a rifle over his shoulder
tv rt"d out to murder unarmed and In
nocent men, and to destroy with dyna
mite the property of those who had sever
Vrnged him In the least In the hope
cl securing the maudlin sympathy of his
Traders, this nascent journalist states
f r her that Corcoran's "first thought was
i r his loved ones." The stern penalty
cf the law which he is now receiving will
teach him and those of his (Ik to have a
lithe more respect for the rights of other
lrved ones, whom, with are and dynamite,
hc and his co-criminals deprived of the
comforts of a happy home. In order to
EtJl further curry the mercy of Ms read
ers, Boyce quotes fmm a letter written
t Mrs. Corcoran, who 'deplored the fact
that "our once happy home is broken up
ty the unjust administration of the law."
Paul Corcoran was tried hi open court
"by a Jury of his peers, before a Judge of
ur blemished -reputation and defended by
several of the ablest criminal attorneys
'to eat of the Bock- mountains.
But Paul and his infamous associates,
ever 1000 In number, in flagrant violation
of the law, ruthlessly Invaded the sanctity
cf a home where there were "loved ones"
quite as proqtous as those "who oaH him
"husband" and "father." Like demons
tlity raged through the private apart
ments of a home of rennement and cul
turethe just reward of years of faith
ful application to business. There they
laid their wicked hands upon everything
that they could safely carry away with
thim. and then annihilated the remainder
v,kh dnamite and fire. Then they rushed
to a less pretentious home, where an un
rrutected woman was struggling bravely
f -r an honest livelihood for herself and
three little girte the latter about the ages
of Lizzie and Annie Corcoran whom Bd
ward Boyce describes so sympathetically
In h.s "memoirs" But upon those in
human wretches the appeals of women
end children- had no effect Here the
ready torch was again applied. In order
ft hasten the work of destruction kero
sene was scattered freely over the floor,
tho walls and the clothing of the little
girls who had Just fled for their lives.
Fierce tonguee of flame shot from the
Windows and the doors, and in less than
half an hour the two "happy homes,"
"Kith all their household treasures, sacred
t3 the memortea of dear relatives and ab
sent friends all the little keepsakes which
r.ad been treasured for years, and which
money can neither purchase nor replace.
in. mding- the little children's clothing and
1 Ik things, were masses of smoldering
tl ins From which It appears that those
nho profess such affection for their own
" nod ones" have sometimes but little
r gird for the "Joved ones" of others.
The sketch of Paul Corcoran's Interest
ing career is the first item In Boyce's mag
tu.i c, and the second is like unto It
a i indication of criminals. Under the
rad of "Roll of Honor," .he 'publishes

The next Item, under the head of "Mar

t3 do, but his ruflsav. soMtere are still
tvcr. "
It 's not probable that such a comb!
ration of folly, malice and mendacity was
eer collected together in the form of an
affldaut While the majority of them are
charges preferred against the soldiers, it
is J.ffleult to surmise what some of them
are meant for Many of them go to show
that the troops. narttcuMrlr ttu aalea-eJi

affidavits apeak of the prisoners beta?

dubt -vers' seriously If a single prisoner
a as ever so treated. It is uncuestionable
that the bayonets are aSlxed to the guns
for that very purpose whenever It be
comes necessary through Insubordination
er for any other reason
Some of the aJMarits are amusing One
fellow who assisted In or connived at
the destruction of WSO.aw worth of prop
ert send an ammaxit to President Mc
Knie that a "nigger soldier" broke his
window Another that a soldier demand
ed whtfky and didn't get It Five good
union men made amaartt that Lieutenant
Lon compattod two pumpmen to return
to their paste at the Tiger mine, when
they had abandoned their paste, with the
object of ftBtarc tkt wto trttto -water, and
they made oath at the same time that
they "were opposed to military restraint"
which was undoubtedly correct One af
fiant actually heard a United States of
ficer swear; but surely no one will believe
this. Otto Freeman went before a no
tary for the sole purpose of swearing
that Captain "Walsh gave him "two sec
onds to get over that hllL" Others made
oath that their revolvers were taken from
them, and one that he was actually made
to work. Mrs. Maggie Malone almost
falntfed when she heard a colored soldier
address insulting language to a prisoner.
Fred Bngman testified that an officer ex
pressed the opinion that "one meal a day
was enough for the prisoners in the bull
pen." To two of the affidavits Initials
alone were signed. "William H. Stewart
new ahlef lyre on the "Wallace Tribune,
had an absolute passion for making af
fidavits appearing no less than three
time before bis honor. Judge Flanagan, for
that purpose: first that the clubs wero
taken away from the prisoners In the
bull pen; second, that the publication of
his paper was stopped by military pro
cess; and, third, that he was thrown Into
the bull pen for 31 days. Another saw
a "nigger soldier" "make a lunge at a
man's hand, missing It about an Inch."
Bartholomew It Creedon, however, had
the longest tale of woe of any of them,
covering two pages. Bartie swore posi
tively that he was made to work when he
didn't feel like it; that he was arrested
against his wishes; that a company of
soldiers, with painful discourtesy, refused
to wait while he ate his supper; that
spiritual consolation was denied io Mike.
Devine, and Miles McMillan In their last
moments, and that "if those outrages are
allowed to go unpunished, they will cause
distrust among the very foundation of our
people."
These affidavits were nearly all made
on July 8. Twelve were sworn to before
L. Leighty, notary at Gem. Edward J.
Flanagan, Justice at Mullan, took his
own affidavit, and three others the rest
were scattering.
These, then are the startling exposures
which have been threatened to be made
public for months which Boyce and
Gompers flaunted over the heads of the
authorities,- at their notorious Cincinnati
meeting. Thej made a thorough canvass
of Canyon creek and Mullan, and these
weak, silly statements are all they can
produce against the military and state
authorities. These are the serious charg
es upon which Edward Boyce promised
his dupes the removal of the troops from
the Coeur d'Alehes and the court-martialing
of General Merriam. This is the non
sensical trash which President McKlnley
was expected to waste his time in read
ing, and many of them, trivial aa they
are are lies.
Several of the "affiants" in question will
be recognized by the readers of the News
as men who were scarcely ever known to
tell the truth. Some of the statements
are so intensely silly that it is charitable
and reasonable to suppose that some of
the1 affiants were drunk -wheir they made
them. They should be presented to the
investigation committee, by all means,
where they will be accepted- as proof of
the general good character bf the troops,
whose special mission It was to quell the
riots and arrest the rioters In this region.
In his salutatory. Edward states that
every member of the Western federation
will receive the first number of his maga
zine free, afer which they are expected
to subscribe, In order that he may live in
luxury. He makes the old threadbare,
stereotyped statement -which for months
has been going the rounds of the socialis
tic papers, that "labor, being the producer
of all weath, is entitled to all it pro
duces." The fulfillment of this idea would
leave Edward on a very scanty allowance,
for It is several years since he did a
stroke of honest toll. Edward says he
will be guided only by the light of his
"own intelligence, wherever It may lead."
If it continues to lead In the direction in
which it Is now pointed, the News will
venture a prediction that It will eventually
lead him Into the penitentiary, as it did
once before.
But it Is against General Merriam that
this foul-mouthed blatherskite principally
directs his dirty and abusive language.
A "pusillanimous tool," a "pompous
fraud," In command of "black brutes."
and he states further of him, and the
News particularly calls tlie attention of
the people of "Wardner to this sentence:
"He. although far past that -age, held high
carnival In 'Wardner society, with women
whose cheeks had long since lost the blush
of shame"; and this from the slimy pen
of a oreature that accuses soldiers of in
sulting the women at Gem.
If any one entertains the slightest
doubt that Edward Boyce is a degenerate
of the most degraded and dangerous type,
let them read the initial number of his
Miners' Magazine. Every page shows it
to be the work of a depraved criminal
defending outrages of the law, justifying
the violators and denouncing the authori
ties for the action taken by them in the
suppression of the crimes and the arrest
of the criminals. Edward Boyce has
shown his hand several times before, but
he never unveiled hl3 wicked purposes
more completely than he has In the first
number of this first specimen of his edi
torial efforts. It is the low muttering and
malignant curses of a convict, whose
blood-stained hands are opposed to all
law, all order and all government, and
who would. If he dared, fling the Goddess
of Liberty from her pedestal and the Stars
aad Stripes from the capltol building and
substitute therefor the blood-red flag ol
anarchy. His previous career gave evi
dence of this the periodical of which he
is the author, confirms it.

Lincoln's birthday was pretty generally ob
served in the markets In the East yesterday,
and the grain marketd locally were quiet, In
the absence of quotations from other cities. In
other lines there was some activity, and the
week opened with much more liberal produce
receipts than usual on the first -day of the
week. The high prices nave attracted some
liberal shipments of apples, and the market is
quite well supplied with this kind of fruit at
prices ranging from ?11 60 per box. The egg
market opened rather weak, and sales were
made around 14c per dozen for round lots, al
though single cases were moving at 15c. There
Is nothing dolns in poultry. Potatoes are steady
at unchanged prices.

Decision of Appellate Court Cnttie- Too
Late.
NEW YORK. Feb. 12. The appellate di
vision of the supreme court Friday
last handed down a decision restraining
Senator Clark, of Montana, and the di
rectors of the United Verde Copper Com
pany from selling the mines and other
property belonging to the corporation.
As a matter of fact, the sale took place
January 9 last, just a month before
the decision of the appellate division was
handed down, so that Its ruling Is prac
tically valueless. i
The decision was upon an appeal from
an order rendered by Justice Glldersleeve
in special term, vacating an injunction
obtained by Professor George A. Tread
well, a shareholder In the company, re
straining the corporation from selling the
property, on the ground that the interest
of the minority holders would be sacri
ficed. It was also alleged that under a
scheme of reorganization, prepared by the
directors the company was to cease to
be a New York corporation and become a
West Virginia company. The reason for
this change was, it was stated, to avoid
tho heavy taxation Imposed in this state.
H. G. Atwater, of the .firm, of Atwater &z
Crulckshank, attorneys for the United
Verde Copper Company, said today:
