AUSTIN, Sept. 9.-The Indian question
Is assuming a graver aspect, but the
danger of an outbreak is not yet regarded
/
as imminent. The family of Mr.. Vaughn
who resides to the westward of this
place, arrived in town tonight and will

ity had subsidized. Mrs. Vaughn states
That the Indians OF Fish Creek and Sill.
yer Greek are usually quiet and indus.
trious the mon performing farm labor
and the women domestic work in tho
farm houses.
A lew days since two strange Indians
IN war paint arrived, and after holding
hurried communications with the resi-
dent Indians, departed as hurriedIy as
they came. Since the arrival Of these
Indians the others have manifested
strong signs of excitement and the wo.
men have spent much time in CRYING
and when questioned as to tho cause.
replied that they and the children would
soon be taken to the mountains while
their men went to the eastward. where
they would remain long time. To-day
most OF the Indians employed on tho
ranches in the vicinity mentioned quit
work and seemed to be completing prep
aratlons for some coming event. Mr.
Vaughn does not anticipate any trouble
with the Indians, but thought that the
circumstances above related justified
him in sending his family to a place of
safety. General Rocker will probably
send sufficient arms to tho settlers at
Fish and Silver Creeks tonight to enable
them to repel any attack that NAV be
made. The Indians of this city have
also shown signs of excitement through
out the day. They have been gathering
their horses, dressing up. buying now
blankets and riding in small squads up
and down the streets, and there are
many indications that something unusual
Is atioat. As far as can be learned Ham.
llton and Phoebe are tho objective points
Of the bands who have alread taken their
departure.
LATER-8:30 p. m.-General Rocker.
commanding Third Brigade National
Guards. accompanied by Captain Har-
per, OF the artillery, Sheriff Emery and
Joe Wood, the Indian interpreter, have
Just left for Hamilton's ranch, situated
about thirty miles southeast from this
place, for the purpose of intercepting a
arge force of Shoshones reported to be
'amped there tonight. The General will
ascertain the object of their movement
eastward, and, if found to be hostile, the
'and will be brought back to this place
md dlsarmed. There is general disin-
'lnation here to believe that there is
my danger OF hostiities, but, if an out
'reak occurs. there are hundreds of men
n the city willing and anxious to assist
n dealing out prompt punishment to the
Indians.
ELKo, New, Sept. 9.-Hector Barnes,
m old man in the employ of the Central
Pacific Railroad Company at Carlin,
Nevada, was accidentally shot about 3
CLOCK this afternoon while the soldier
rain was there. He was looking at and
one of the soldiers pistols,
md returned it to the owner, who was
n the act of putting it in tho scabbard.
Vhen 1t discharged itself, striking Barnes
