Tho preeenece of tlw soldiers has eared the situation re markabjy,. and tonight the people ate gradually regaining a slight confidence, but itIs felt thfe.t peace car not be as sured t until tlte troops are quartered here.. Captain Batchelor and his gal lant seventy-six i soldiers, assisted , by 100 townsmen who are , under arms, would give euch reeUtance as would would . annihilate any ordinary force, but should the 1300 men, up on Canyon Creek, unive fully armed, the little guard could hardly hope to cope with thm. Old militia guns, to the number of about seventy, have all ben distrib uted among the - men here, and what state ammunition - remained has also been distributed. About 7.000 rounds of cartridges, belonging to the old mil itary farce, and stored Jn th vaults at the Bunker Hill office, were lost in the wieck of that property. B?-ldes tbe state guns, all private arms in tbe town have been put to ure. One troop of seventy men Is on guard at the camp of Captain Batcheiors ec Idlers. Besides, half tin many men are watching the station. At the Bun ker Hill mills is another group of arm ed men. Tonight they came down to offer their services for the defense or the town, but later decided that it would be better for them to return t the property. This morning a little bunch cr liunaer Hill men, guarding the tramway, were overtaken by some of Sheilff youngs deputies, and 'th-lr gun- taken from them. Later, on tne command w au ditor Sinclair, the fiht-rift" consented to th return ofvthe rifis to their owners. and they are now continuing their watch. fc-tate Auditor Sinclair Is working night and day to bring alout the ar rest of the criminals, and is vigorously UMsiJted by Coroner France. rvelve complaints have been made out against conspirators, but the work is delayed by the slowness of Prosecuting Attor ney Samuels.

Under Fhet Iff Seysler pronounces Saturday's outrage as unparalleled. The destruction to property was bad enough, although not surprising to one acquainted with condition h-?re. The bolMs tit the attack, however, la without precedent, while the snooting cf the men was utteily without exoie. He further states that wh le punlsn ment should be meted out to the guilty paities, only the federal government can do so, as ih?ie is not a man in fhos hnc county 'luahfici tc sit as a juror In the case. There is no talk or expec tation of any aitior. by the locil au thorities. BOISE, Ida.. May J-Govemor Steun enberg tonight issued a proclamation, declaring sheshene county to be in a state of insurrection. This will result' in placing the government cf the coun ty, as far as necessary, under military rule. ' TROOPS AT WORK. Wardner, Ma.. May 3. With the ex ception of last Saturday, this h is b ( the moft exciting day Wardner has seen. Every hour in the day squads of colored troops,' assisted by constables, have bcFn arresting dynamltera. "All business was practically suspend, while the citizens watched the opera tions. As the- prisoners were g't there J up, they wore marched in sriuariM to the camp at the station, one. and a half miles distant, where they were left un der guard. A s-iuad of nineteen is Just being brought down at t o'clock p. m., making 101 altogether. A few of them made a ihonr of reistanc but the bayonets of the soldiers soon brought thnm Into line. '-This is the first night for a week that tbe people of Wardner can sleep with a sense of secuiity. The town ii nearly deserted, for practically all the rioters are under guard or in' the hills. Not many dynamiters have 1-ft Can yon creek. The troops are waiting for reinforcements befo f making arrests there, as the union men may make a stand. About fifty str kcra have left Burke by the Thompson trail, the only way out of the count, y not along the line of the railroad. A special train went down tbe O. R. & N. thjs afternoon to pick up those walking .dot, but has net yet retumel. General Merriam Is expected here to morrow morning, also the attorney gen eral of the state. All day long the work of arresting the 'men. believed to have been con nected with the Bunker HiK outraare?, has been in progress. Among thm are many ringleaders in the organization. 11 ore of the chief dynamiters, however have tried getting out of tbe country, but they will not escape. The state 111 go bankrupt, if necesary. to secure their conviction. By 10 o'clock this morning the work of drawing formal complaints against the more notorious strikers had tx.en completed. Then ten work of making -arrests commenced. As martial law had aot been declared the local constables Vere deputed to serve th warrants. Captain Batchelor put a squad of colored fighters at the' command of the constables, and they began (lie hunt. Up to the head of the gulch marched the pursuers, and then turning back they commenced to search evry point where the rioters might be in concealment. Their coming caued a panic among the strikers. There was a wild scramble up the sides of the canyon. As they dodged through the brush the constables and deputies started in pursuit, and In most cases the chase was a short one. Lined up owt abreast, and closer guarded, the captives were marched oack to camp. . There they were turned Into the loft of a nearby barn.. White tbe arrest of the n.en In Wardner was under way, search parties of soldiers and constables were sent out all over the surrounding country. . Among the men nndf r arrest are Jive or six deputies sheriff, who wer ele vated to that office since the trouble began. . i . THE COLORED HEROES. Washington, May 3.
