M'LEOD RETURNS WARRANTS.
Charge of Enlightenment Against Him
All Due 10 MISREPRESENTATION.

All Due 10 Mi-apprchen-ion.
when the case against J. w. Mcleod
was called in Justice CaldwelFs court
yesterday Deputy Prosecuting Attorney
Morris at the request OF the prosecuting
witness. L. A. AgassiZ, moved the dismiss
al OF the charge OF larceny by embezZle-
ment and ~ was dismissed.
The cause Of such a motion on the part
OF the prosecuting attorney was the lack
of evidence TO prove criminal intent.
When Mcleod took the warrants in ques-
ton in the case from Agassiz he gave a
receipt for them. in which he undertook
10 dispose of them at 20 cents or failing
In doing so, TO return them. The receipt
contained no stipulation for the return
10 AgassiZ Of the money for which the
warrants might he sold. Meanwhile, il
seems that Mcleod went about the task
OF disposng OF the warrants in a business
like way. He took them 10 Spokane where
he had an offer for them. Pending their
return Agassiz became anxious about
them and demanded them of Mcleod,
VINO promised 10 return them a I a given
time This he was unable 10 do and
Agassiz filed the complaint charging him
with larceny by embeZzlemeut. Last Mon
day Mcleod received the warrants. and
forthwith returned them TO Agassiz.
The latter said that IL the state wished
20 go on with the prosecution he would
stu appear as a witness. but Mr.. Morris
concluded that there was not sufficient
evidence TO MAKE out a case

BURNED IN FOREST FIRES,
Ohe Hundred People Said to
Have PeriShed on an
Island.
the Destroying Torrent
OF Flames.

MARINETTE, WIS, Aug. SIT is re-
ported that 100 residents of Beaver Island,
located in Breen Bay, at the entrance of
the straits of Mackinaw, have been burned
to death in the forest fires which have
desolated the entire island during the last
few days.
Captain Young of the steamer Cuba,
who arrived here to-day, reports that
Beaver Island is all ahre. Wednesday
night the island was enveloped in flames,
which could be seen by passing vessels for
many miles out into Lake Michigan.
The inhabitants, who are employed in
fishing and lum bering, number about 100.
The island is fifty miles away from the
mainland, and it is not believed that aid
could have been secured in time to save
life and property.
Beaver Island is the largest of the group
OF islands near the Straits of Mackinaw,
and on this island many years ago James
J. Strang, the Mormon prophet, attempted
to establish Mormon kingdom, which
failed upon his death. His body is buried
on the island. The capital of his kingdom
was st. James, at the northern extreme of
the island.
The land is very fertile, and in parts is
heavily wooded. Farming and lum mbering
are carried on to some extent, but fishing
is the principal industry. Few vessels
stop at the island, but vessels bound
through the Straits of Mackinaw frequently
pass in sight of the islands.

Chiefs private room awaiting the Coro-
ner's inquest late this afternoon.
General Flagler was telegraphed for and
it is announced he is now en- route to
Washington and will reach here to-mor-
row evening from Canada, where has been
outing.
The inquest was begun late this after
nooh at the Morgue and number of wit
nesses examined. None of them had seen
the shooting, but all heard the shots.
Miss Flagler's testimony was the only in
eliminating evidence offered. If she had
denied the shooting no one could have
proved otherwise.
Miss Flagler, accompanied by Captain
Shaler and Miss West, a daughter of ex-
District Commissioner West, arrived at the
Morgue shortly before O'Clock and took
refuge in the office of the Captain of Po-
lice. Her friends were anxiously solicitous
and newspaper men denied access to her.
Her manner was cool and collected, and
though her features were almost as white
as the dress she wore she betrayed no ex-
element.
The Jury reached a verdict within a
short time after hearing the evidence. But
one ballot was taken and that was unani-
nous in the expression that the shot was
fired without murderous intent, and that
Miss Flagler could not be held responsible
for the unfortunate death of the little
colored boy.

The Prosecutions of Settlers for Kitgtn0
Indians Demanded.
MARKET LAKE, IDAHO, Aug. I'm
dian Agent Teters of the Fort Hall reser-
vation arrived in Market Lake late this
learn Just how many of his Bannocks and
Shoshones are missing, but before leaving
he gave the CALL correspondent full and
comprehensive statement of the condition
of the present Indian troubles in Jacksons
Hole.
He still maintains in the strongest terms
that the lawless settlers are the guilty
parties and not the Indians. From his
tone it is evident that the clash of State
and Federal authorities predicted by the
CALL correspondent several days ago is
about to occur. Agent Teters said:
"The scouting parties sent out by the
troops reported to General Coppinger yes
terday that they could not locate any In
dians in the Hoback Canyon country. and
that they did not believe there were any
Indians within fifty or sixty miles of
Marysvale. 1t is evident to me that the
Indians who have been soaring the settlers
in the Swan Creek and Salt River valleys
are those who were camped in Hoback
Canyon when I made the first investiga-
ton there two weeks ago.
They are returning to their reservations
through the southern entrance to the
Jacksons Hole country, and the alarm the
settlers feel 1 believe is entirely ground
less.
eff I had the cooperation of General
Sitter and other State authorities who
were in Jaoksons Hole when / was there
the first time 1 believe this whole trouble
might have been averted.
Il urged the settlers then to assist me in
preserving peace and in getting the In
dians to return quietly to their reserva-
tions, but the Iawless elements among the
men were determined to give the Indians
such treatment as would prevent their re-
turning in other years. They said to me
that they had the assurance of Governor
Richards that they would be backed by
him in their efforts to drive the Indians
out, and to take such steps as were neces-
sary to drive them out.
'sThese settlers not only massacred sew
eral Indians, but they left their dead
bodies upon the ground. One Indian,
badly wounded, was for seventeen days
with only few mouthfuls of food, and to
all this was added common thievery, for
all the equipage of the Indian camp that
was raided was carried oil.
"If the Government will take steps to
prosecute the settlers implicated in the
murder of those Indians and the Indians
are shown that their treaty rights will be

There was gray hulk of a lightship
labeled "Brentons Reef, " instead of Sandy
Hook, but there was the same old Atlantic
Ocean stretching away, with a pale blue
line of land in the distance. The Sylvia.
with the regatta committee on board,
dropped anchor at 10:40 o'clock opposite
the lghtship. She signaled them that the
course would be the triangular one, with
the first turn near Block Island and the
second near West Island.
The wind was southwest, holding fairly
true all day. 1t varied in strength from 10
to Is knots. The first leg of the course was
thirteen miles and half southwest, four
teen northwest, and was beat to windward.
The second leg was run from northeast
by east three quarters east, with the wind
directly over the stern for eighteen miles,
and the third leg close west by north of
six miles and half, finishing at the start
ing point.
The preparatory gun was fired at 11:20,
and ten minutes later the big sloops were
started. The Defender crossed first, with
the Volunteer tapping her. The Jubilee
was two minutes later, and the Vigilant,
AOlAS1uS IlldI LIE WlnO was SUT6nSJNcHlnS,
lay back until near the expiration of the
five minutes handicap time. She was just
four minutes later than the Defender in
crossing the line. All four boats went over
on the starboard tack. All except the
Volunteer brought out baby iib sails just
before crossing.
The four boats carried club topsails and
the regular lower sails. The Defender
began to creep away from the others the
moment she was over the line. She pointed
higher and footed faster.
The Vigilant started in a lively chase
after the Jubilee and the Volunteer, and
soon overhauled the latter, which had been
passed by the Jubilee. At II o'clock the
Vigilant was creeping up on the Jubilee,
and it was plain the Boston boat was going
to disappoint her numerous friends. The
wind continued to freshen, and at Il :o5
the Jubilee took in her baby jib topsails.
Four minutes later she set them again.
The time of the finishes was as follows
Vigilant 4 38 :09, Jubilee 4 IA 100, and the
Volunteer 5:0o:e4.

not these lawless settlers make trouble If
some of them are prosecuted?" was asked.
eyes, they undoubtedly will. They
have sworn among tn emselves never to let
the Indians hunt in Jacksons Hole again.
The only permanent solution of the ques-
tion that can see is for the Government
to exte nd the National Park so as to take
in all the Jacksons Hole country as far
south as Fall River and Hoback River.
1.-THE National Park will not preserve the
big game, as it ranges all through the ter
ritory to the south, and elk and moose will
soon be as the buffalo-only a matter of
history. Jacksons Hole will be the seat of
yearly reoccurring conflict between the
white hunters and the red hunters until it
is taken in charge by the Government or
the game becomes extinct. The officers in
charge of the United States troops all sup
port my course in this trouble, and do not
b estate to say So"
Asked regarding the recent interview OF
Senator Dubois in which he criticized
Agent Teter and called him carpet-bag-
ger, Major Teters said:
''I don't think it is very good taste for
the Senator to condemn a man for being a
carpet-bagger in the face of the fact that
our Senator came here a carpet Dagger, and
has never been known to be anything else
but carpet-bagger and office-seeker.
The San Francisco call., 1895-08-03
From a recent photogra

the troops depart the Indians would come
back and a conflict ensue, as a class of the
settlers here would at once attack them.
When asked to-day by The CALL cor
respondent what he could say of the situ-
alton as he found it General Coppinger
said he could say nothing further than
that so far no one settler has been
molested by the Indians, but that the
settlers had massacred several Indians.
Indian Agent Teters and his clerk Mr..
McBeth, went to the settlers fort yester-
day and demanded of Justice Rhoads the
names of the men who were implicated in
the killing of the Indians with view to
bringing criminal proceedings against
them. as predicted by THE CALL cor
respondent exclusively last Monday. The
names of the men were secured after
some difficulty.
The San Francisco call., 1895-08-03

Furthermore, it is the settled policy of the
department not to appoint local men as
agents of Indian reservations. l do not
stand IN with Senator Dubois because DO
not believe in squandering the Indians
money"
The following message was transmitted
to the Commissioner of Indian Affairs by
Agent Teters Immediately upon his ar
rival here this afternoon:
MARKET LAKE, Idaho, August 2.
To Commissioner of Indian Affairs: have re-
turned from Jacksons Hole. Everything quiet
there. I will recommend that you request the
department of justice to investigate the killing
of peaceable Indians by lawless settlers in
Uintah County, Wyo., with a view to the prose-
cution of the guilty parties. TETER, Agent.

Governor Richards of Wyoming Replies
to Criticisms.
CHEYENNE, WYo., Aug. 2.-In re-
ply to a letter written by Secretary Ryder
of the Indian Department of the American
Missionary Association to the Interior
Department relative to the Indian up
rising in Wyoming and in which he
criticized the action of the State authori-
ties in arresting Bannock Indians and
slaughtering them, Governor Richards
said:
THE statements by Secretary Ryder are
erroneous. l have information of the kill
ing of but one Indian while a party of
them were resisting arrest for the violation
of the State laws. His statement that
those of US who know the brutal character
of many living in the western territory
would imply that he spoke from personal
knowledge. If SO, he is slandering the
people of Jacksons Hole, who are an in
dustrious, law-abiding class. His gratui-
tous advice to the Governor in this matter
is unnecessary. 1t was an effort to enforce
the law that brought on the conflict, and
if the officers exceeded their authority
there is legal remedy which will be ap-
piled. His statement that the whites
were the first aggressors is also false
There is no disposition on the part of our
people to be cruel or unjust toward the
Indian, and no white man has ever
molested him when at home on his reser-
walton. The residents of Jacksons Hole
are not aware that Indians have the right
to come from an Idaho reservation to
their very midst and indiscriminately
slaughter elk for their hides only, while
they could not kill one for food for their
families without violating the law"
