SALT LAKE. Capt, Bainbridge, with a
company Of scouts enlisted from the
Bannacks and Shoshones, left Fort Hall
yesterday for the hostile camp at Hole
in tho Rock station, about 90 miles

hostiles had possession of the station
and would allow no one to pass either
way, and told those who have made the
attempt to turn back and they would
not be molested, No one has been
hurt yet that is known, The telegraph

Chicago special says; Dispatches, which
have been received at Sheridan's head
quarters during the past two days from
various military sources in the far west
tern country, leave no doubt whatever
that Joseph, with his band Of Nez
Porces, ismaking his way eastward, tits
believed the intention Of the chief is TO
make an attempt to strike the head
waters Of Tongue river through Vel
lowstone Park. So fully convinced is
Sheridan that this is his intention that
he has sent orders to commanders of
posts along the Little Horn and Tongue
rivers to keep sharp look out for the
hostiles and give them warm reception
il they show themselves. For this pur-
pose the troops in that region viii be
concentrated. There are at these posts
several hundred men of the 2lst In
fantry, and if it is found necessary to
use a larger force several companies will
be taken from two or three nearest
northern posts. Scouts have already
been dispatched in every direction to
gather information of the approach Of
Kez Perces. In view of this change
in the theater Of war there is no little
alarm felt at headquarters for the safety
Of General Sherman, who is supposed
to he at the present moment in Yellow
stone Park. He has only FIVE men
with him us an escort. The squad is
well armed, however, and might worry

companies should happon to come to-

stationed in this city for the past month

SALT LAKE, Aug l9.-The Indians
on the Montana stage road, 80 miles
south of Pleasant Valley, still hold the
road and the telegraph. They turned
the stage and the telegraph repairers
back yesterday. But few bucks are
seen, though many squaws and children
are reported. This is not the main
party; but mostly the wounded and

UNJUST.

Some Democratic journals have ami.
madverted severely upon the Admin
istration for the appointment Of the
whisky-thief Babcock t the superin-
tendency of the Fifth Lighthouse Dis
trict. This is unjust, rs will be seen
from the following statement OF the
case from the Sacramento Bee: "Bab-
cock holds position in the regular
army, his rank being that Of Major in
the Typographical Engineers. The po-
sition Is one for life, unless he Is re.
moved by Court martial or promoted
TO q higher rank. The title of Gen.
erAl' was given to Major Babcock by
brevet for services In tho war OF the
rebellion, but conferred upon him
neither command nor extra pay. Un-
der Grants administration Major Bah
cock was. detailed, or rather granted
leave Of absence, from his regular po-
sition in the Engineer Corps and APP
pointed the Presidents Private Secre-
tary-drawing the pay of both posi-
tions. On tho eve of the close of
Grants administration Major Babcock
was, by the War Department, sent
back to his regular army duties in the
Engineer Corps and assigned the
charge OF the Fifth Lighthouse District.

From District Attorney Davis, inst

lowing itelns: Dunno Il Co. have pur-

If Hunter district-the latter, we un-
derstand, being bought at very high
figures. But the Indications in Hun

rant the purchasers in giving the high
price demanded. The impression at
Cherry Creek seems o be that the old
owners of the Star will make such ar
engagements with Messrs. Dunno IL Co.
that before long the mine will com
mence active operations. The Teacup
and Pacific mines are being worked t"
good advantage. and the TehAIna mill
IS being run to its full capacity. An

so it was, aud the Missouri jury hav-

The I91bune's Washington special

for the Northern District Of Illinois,
was Amos Still well, who was admitted
to a private audience with the Presl-

President carefully looked them all
through, and then looking Stillweil in
the face, said, "Your papers are unex-
ce%ptionable; there is nothing in your
record which does not seem to show
that you are fully qualified for the pc

wife is a favorite cousin of Mrs. Hayes"
Stillwell left the Presidents office con-

thought would insure his appoint
