Heney argues reform hinges on exposing behind the scenes power
Francis J. Heney, land fraud prosecutor now in San Francisco, writes that no permanent reform comes from jailing a few grafters. He urges Americans to uncover the ties between powerful business interests and municipal, state, and federal graft. He cites railroad and lumber interests behind Oregon land laws, calling for public accountability of Congress and big interests.

Pettibone’s Record Fuels Bitter Labor War Talk
Ex mayor Van B. De Lashmutt described Pettibone as a co leader of the Coeur d Alene war. He recalled Pettibone operated a saloon and boarding house near Wallace and was noted for dynamite use. De Lashmutt linked the July 11 1892 Gem mine tunnel battle to non union fortifications and the ensuing deaths.

Pettibone blamed for explosion and labor unrest across towns
The report details Pettibone allegedly detonating a San Francisco infie explosion that destroyed property valued between 65,000 and 400,000 dollars, killing none but wounding several. Miners in Coeur d Alene grew to resent agitators, preferring lawful labor actions. The piece also notes court proceedings involving Chinese nationals and a fatal beating of O W McCaffey near Fort Dodge, Iowa.
