that the recent order withdrawing the

ton stated i'll substance that the recent
complication and threatened bloodshed
between the Jones AMI Locke factions had
left feeling of unrest that might again
assume serious form. This condition
might be precipitnted by the execution of
the live Indians, members of the Locke
faction, sentenced to he shot early in Au-
gust. While there is not now any indica-
tions of trouble, it is thought best that
