Salt Lake city. Utah. July SO.-The first
reliable news of the Indian troubles at
Jackson's Hole. proper. which has been
received for more than week, came By
messenger this evening via Griggs, Idaho,
from Fort Wilson, little place located
in the center of valley in Jackson's
Hole, over 100 miles from any railway.
The dispatch is dated July 26. and says:
''An the people of the valley are gath
cred at Wilson's ranch for protection.
All the hired men are under arms. Night
before last council of war was held and
four men were selected to reconnoiter
and locate the Indians, but as yet the
scouts have not returned. The Indians
must have moved away back or left the
district altogether, as no redskins have
been seen for three or four days.
"a company Of volunteers came into
Fort Wilson from Teton Wednesday, after
travelling all night. Exaggerated reports
of trouble said help was badly needed at
the Hole but on their arrival here they
We're surprised to find all quiet A consul
tation was held as to the advisability of
going out and lighting the Indians. 1t was
decided to remain passive for the present.
The camp covers nearly five acres. The
Indians are no doubt in the mountains,
and may make a descent on the settlers
when they are not looking for it, but the
opinion is that II they had been on the
war path properly they would have at
tackled Fort Wilson before this"

armed and mounted men have started for
Union Pass, where they expect to stop any
Indians who may come through any of
the passes leading from Jacksons Hole.

Sheriff Sparks. Recruits will be picked
up along the route.
