In WAR PAINT.
Serious Condition Of hfaiTS among Indians
in Long Valley, Idaho.

PORTLAND Orr, Sept. 10.-An Oregonian
special from Boise City, Idaho. says Mr..
White, an old frontiersman and Indian
fighter of the Meadows of the upper end
of Long Valley near Salmon River, has sent
dispatch to Governor Shoup informing
him that the condition of affairs among the
Indians at that place is alarming. This was
the grand camping spot for the Nez Perce
Indians before the Indian war of 1877.
After the capture of the Nez Perces under
Chief Joseph and the exile of the Indians
for a few years, they were permitted to
return to the reservation at Lapwai.
near Lewiston. The tribs are very much
discontented and sullen at the treatment
received, the death of braves and the loss
of stock, and have been heard to VOW ven-
geance at some time on the whites Over
200 Indians are now camped at the Mea-
dows. a large number of warriors are in
war-paint, and Meadows people are alarmed
at the hostile talk and appearance OF the
Indians. The squaws tell the settlers to be
careful of the warriors-keap Manmaluce.
They think the whites have no right to that
country and want them to leave. The settlers
are leaving their ranches and floeking to q
central point in the valley. The greatest
excitement reyails in Long Valley. The
settlers are arming and ready to de-
the savages to murder their families or
burn and pillage their homes. Last Satur-
day one company of cavalry from Boise
Barracks, under Captain Murray, took up
the line OF march for Long Valley cut Oh a
pleasure trip. Immediately on the re-
ceipt of the news of possible trouble
Governor Shoup dispatched Murray 10
hasten by forced marches to reach the
Meadows aS soon as possible to act as
check on the Indians. Governor Shoup also
dispatched an agent to Lewiston giving
a full account of the situation, fears of the
settlers, e:c., and urged him TO take immedi-
ale steps TO get the Indians back on the reser-
vation Governor Shoup expresses himself
With caution. He says he hardly thinks
affairs will come to open hostili.ies, but is
taking every precaution to avoid trouble.
MILES CITY (Mont), Sept. 10.-A telegram
was received to-day by the Coroner, from
Tongue River Agency, notifying him that a
murder had been committed and the body
was awaiting his arrival. The telegram
gave no further particulars, but, taken in
connection with a letter received yesterday,
it is supposed to account for the disappear
ance of Hugh Boyle, a young catIleman who
has been missing from Lame Deer. 1t Is
thought that he was murdered by Indians.
1t was only last Saturday that the Indians
arrested ON suspicion Of numbering Robert
Ferguson last May were turned Loose be-
cause OF lack of evidence. and the Boyle
murder following so closely will arouse the
white settlers about the Cheyenne Reserva-
ton to war. They had declared this sum-
mer If another white man was killed they
would send the women and children out of
the country, and, together with the cowboys,
wage war Of determination on the Indians
This they are abuDdantly able to do.

Several WeIl-Known Gentlemen Already
in the Field.
Now that the Admission-day festivities
are at an end politicians are beginning to
pull themselves together for the coming fight
and municipal matters will command much
greater interest from this time on.
Except to those having fights of their own
on hand the principal interest centers in the
battle for the Mayoralty nominations. Nu-
merous candidates are already in the field,
but from present indications it looks as if
the struggle ON the Republican side would
be between J.. r. Ellert and Wendell Easton.
The former is native of California, a popu-
lar business man and is at present the only
Republican Supervisor.
Wendell Easton has a large following and
is well-known in the business community.
On the Democratic side of the house ex-
Postmaster Bryan, Frank McCoppin, Colin
M. Boyd and Fleet L. Strother are all in the
field and each is busy endeavOring to con-
vince Buckley that his nomination is neces-
sary to Democratic success. After all, of

They Want Municipal Ticket Placed in
the Field Early.
There is growing feeling among the Re-
publcans that the Municipal Convention
should be held at an early day in order that
a ticket may be placed in the field that will
bear the closest scrutiny. 1t is safe to say
that no repetition of the disgraceful ''sixty
and forty" trades of former years will be
tolerated and good ticket placed early In
the field is what is being demanded.
1t is felt that with a State ticket that will
bear the minutest examination ard which
is practically certain of election, no tamper-
ing should be permitted with municipal af-
fairs; that in the best interests of the party
a ticket must be nominated that will bear
up under the rigors Of a long campaign.
With the feeling against Buckley stronger
than ever before, move of this kind would
not only prevent citizens ticket being put
in the field, but would insure Republican
success. 1t is believed that this feeling will

SELECTION OF DELEGATES.

A Question as to the Manner of Holding
Primaries.
There was to have been meeting of the
Republican County Committee last night,
but through some misunderstanding a
quorum could not be obtained and no busi-
ness was transacted. The committee will
meet, however, tomorrow evening, and at
that time it is thought that some action will
be taken relative to the time for holding the
County Convention. The manner of select
ing delegates will also be decided upon. In
reference to the latter there is some differ
euce of opinion as to the manner of conduct
ing primaries, but it is probable that they
will be ''cpen," as at the time of the selec-
tion of delegates to the State Convention
This is deemed best for the interests of the
