one, if the troops can bring the Indians to
bay in their present locality, but if they
escape to the Lava Beds, the war may last
all summer

At a meeting Of the unpaid creditors Of
the musical festival, held this afternoon, at
which Manager Bugbee and the Executive
Committee made a partial statement Of the
condition of affairs, from which it appears
that the receipts from all sources were
nearly S24, 060, all of which, it is claimed,
has been paid out, leaving claims to the
amount, estimated at from So, 900 to S10,-
900 unsettled. The meeting appointed a
committee Of five to examine the accounts
and vouchers, and if possible to ascertain
what has become Of the money received.
There is little probability of the outstand-
ing claims being paid. The bulk Of the
unpaid bills are for advertising and print
ing.
