Mntlock-Brownfield building on Main

condition of business resulting from
the possibility of local option being
enrorced In Pendleton, ho would rath

PITCHED BATTLE BETWEEN
TROOPS AND UNION MINERS
Six Miners Known to Have Been Killed and Many Wounded,
No Casualties Among the Troops.
PRESIDENT IMPEACHED.
McLean, of Idaho University, Must
Answer Charges.
Moscow. Idaho, Juno 0. President
J. A. McLean, of tho University of
Idaho, in tho opinion of six members
of tho faculty, is Incompetent, inat
tentlve, erratic in his hours, evasive'
in his work, discourteous to members
of tho faculty, deficient in Judgment,
undignified and frivolous, falls in pat
riotism and docs not enjoy the re
spect of his students.
At n meeting of the board of re'
gents held hero some two weeks ago,
these charges were preferred. Stren
nous efforts were made to keep the
proceedings secret, and even now the
members of the faculty who made the
complaint decline to allow their
names to be published.
The brief closes with a demand that
an investigation be hold and evidence
taken,
No action was taken by the board
the members of which are reported
to be divided In sentiment.
President Charles L. Heltman, of
Itathdrum, nnd Mrs. Hidenbaugh, of
Hoise, it is claimed, are in favor of
an immediate investigation, while the
other members are said to have ex
pressed the opinion that tho charges
are frivolous and trivial.

Col., this morning, stating that his
nephew, Hoxey McGee, had been shot
at a miners' mass meeting nt Victor,
last Monday.
The dispatches in the East Oregon
inn on Monday and also yesterday,
referred to the murder of McGoo and

seems that young McGee was attend
Inc a meetlnir of miners, when ho
was shot down In cold blood.

Tho deputies secured the arms and
ammunition of the port of the min
ers. As the special train bearing the
deputies drew up at Dunnville the unon
union miners enirencneo in me neigii
borhood opened fire. General Boll
got his men out and stormed the en
trenchment positions, capturing 15,
the arms and ammunition of these
men being captured.
In the fierce fight which followed
six union miners wero killed.
Their names are unobtainable at
this time.
Miners Entrenched.
At 4:50 the battle was still in pro
gress, the union miners fighting stub
bornly. The miners have well en
trenched positions in tho hills and are
shooting down at the soldiers and
guards at every opportunity.
The surrounding country is favor
able to the miners and it seems that
General Bell will have to take every
defense separately.
Dunville sprang into prominence
last week, when it was reported that
enormous amounts of free gold had
been discovered and there was an Im
mediate rush to the place by union
men, who declared that no others
should be permitted in the camp. All
others were barred,
But the camp was of mushroom
growth and the thousands who en
camped there in the first two days of
its existence dwindled away to 00 or
100 today.
General Bell has expressed the
opinion that the camp was nothing
but a decoy used by miners as a base
of operations.
Dunnville Is about 20 miles south
of here and Is said to bo In Fremont
county, which has not been declared
by the governor to be In a state of in
surrection and rebellion.
Battle of Dunville.
The returning members of Gen.
Bell's force that participated in tho
Dunvillo battle, say it is remarkablo
tho casualties wero not moro severe.
Fully 1,000 shots were fired on both
sides.
Cariey was killed by a Krag-Jorgen-
son bullet fired by a member of Ser
geant Baldwin's squad.
Bullets sprinkled about Bell, strip
plug tho rock and earth, but falling
to disturb bis equilibrium. He calm
ly directed operations, ordered the oc
componying newspaper men to cover
up their whito vests and doff tho Pan
ama hats, which acted as targets.
Twenty minutes hot firing shaded
off into an hour's desultory work,
when 20 men captured H members of
tho union. Theso wero brought to
camp and others released.
Bell declines to call for more troops,
claiming sufficient force is at band,
assisted by deputies to control the
situation.
C. C. Friedlcy, alleged to have fired
the shot that killed McGee at tho
mass meeting riots Monday night,
was captured on tho Thompson ranch
