Conflicting Statements AS to the Third
Term Aspirations Of Cleveland.
Washington. August 3.--There have
appeared within twenty-fuur hours
very positive statements regarding the
alleged candidacy of President Cieve-
land for denomination. In two differ
ent quarters announcements have been
made anonymously, apparently by pre-
concerted arrangement, that President
Cleveland Is not only candidate, but
that he would not accept the nomina-
ton II 1t should be rendered him by
the Democratic national convention.
The other statement Is not anyOnmOus,
but is made by ex-Congressmun De
Forest, OF Connecticut, one of those
Eastern muRwumps who stood in con-
splcu0usly close relation to President
Cleveland In all the exciting contests
ever financial legislation In the last
congress-, and who on more than one
occasion was recognized ng the immc-
date representative of the ProsidoHt.
Mr.. De Forest announces that. Il con-
ditions continue as they now exist
when the national convention shall
meet. It Is inevitable that Mr.. Cle9e-
land will be the candidate OF his party.
In the absence OF definite personal
announcement TO the contrary, II may
be said that the statement 1f Mr. De
Forest Is regarded by politicians as
more important than those unony-
nous pronunclamcnt0s one Of tho
latter statements says, for instance,
that the president has talked freely
with his cabinet advisers as to another
candidacy, and Informed them that he

Further News of the Murder of
Of Captain Smith and
Companions.
Were Shot by Bannock Braves in
Revenge for Last Summers
Work.
Thought This Will End the Trou-
BILE as Far as the Indians Are
Concerned.

DENVER, Oct. S.-A special from Po-
catello, Ida, says a courier and scout for
the United States troops named j. w.
Wilson, reached Idaho Falls, about 30
miles north of this place, bringing de-
tails of the killing of Captain Smith and
two comrades by Indians in the lower
part of Jacksons Hole on Thursday
morning. The Indians had sworn ven
geance against Smith, as it was he, they
believed, who killed one one Of their
tribe, and was the cause, indirectly, OF
the death of a papoose last July. Smith
was wounded in this fight, but he re-
covered. Wilson states that Captain
Smith and his two companions We're
prospecting on the south fork Of the
Snake river, at the south end OF Jack
sons Hole, and were ambuslled and he
and his two companions were shot desd
and their bodies left on the river bank.
Wilson and Constable Manning were
hunting in this locality at the time and

of the murdered nlen. Wilson rode at
once to Captain Coils command and
reported the facts, leaving Manning at
Camp Granite to return to Jacksons
Hole with the troops, who left imme-
diately for the scene Of the killing.
Wilson then rode to Idaho Falls with
dispatches. B. Adams, a rancher liv-
inc three miles from the scene Of the
killing and who is visiting at Idaho
Falls, put Wilson through a searching
examination in regard to the killing of
Smith and his companions, and says
there can be no doubt whatever as to the
reliability Of Wilson's statement. He
a Y further that the killing of Smith
was no surprise to him, as the Indians
openly avowed they would have his
scalp. He believes, however, that this
will
Virtually Settled the Difficulty,
so far as the Indians are concerned.
Having avenged the death Of their
braves, they will return to their reserva-
ton. Wilson says there are about &C
Indians in Jackson Hole and they are

were much alarmed at the re.
port of the killing. From reports

further trouble will ensue, and the re
