gonian's special frC m Olympia, Wash.
says: Acting Governor Laughton yes
terday --ternoon received a dispatch
from the County Commissioners Of
Okonogan County, from Connolly, and
setting forth that on Thursday night
one of the Indians implicated in the
murder of Freighter Cole was taken
from the Jail and lynched. The tele-
gram also stated that Catholic priest
had warned the settlers that indig-
nation ran high among the Okonogan
Indians. who had held four councils
and it was likely they would go on
the war path. The officers in conclu-
sion asked for five hundred stand of
arms and ammunition to arm the set
lers. The Governor after consultation
with Adjutant-General O'Brien decided
to send two hundred stands of arms to-
day. The Governor then notified Brig
adier-General Curry, of Spokane Falls,
that arms be sent, and instructed him to
see that they were delivered to the
county commissioners, cautioning them
to avoid bloodshtd d unless absolutely
necessary to preserf re the peace. General
O'Brien said last night that the lynch
ing of the Indian was very injudicious
in view of the present Indian troubles.
lie was not prepared to say whether
the trouble amounts to much. ''All we
know" he said, lis what the Catholic
priest reported" 4 good deal depends
on how well the Indians are prepared
to go on the war path. Chief Moses,
who is in that county. will exert con-
siderable influence. If he is for war
there is likely to be trouble.
Governor Laughton thought the dis
satisfaction would be over in few
days. 1t would not be difficult to put
Iown an uprising among the Okono-
rans. but if they are determined to
fight. they would send out couriers and
enlist British Columbia Indians in their
cause. The Indians number $50 and
are living on Colville Reservation. They
have always been peaceful and have
taken no stock in the messiah craze.
All the trouble has been caused by the
lynching of murderer. 1t is thought
that if prompt action is taken there is
nothing to fear. Governor Laughton
telegraphed General Gibbon. command
