AFTER bad MEN,
Indian Bureau Officials Searching
Dusty Tones For Authority Under
Which They May
PROSECUTE WHITE SETTLERS
In ,JacksOn's Hole Who Killed Ban.
mack Indlans-A Test Case to
Be Made.

WASHINGTON, Aug lin spite Of re-.
ports to the contrary, it may De definitely
stated that the Indian bureau. as yet
has taken no steps whatever, looking to
the punishment of the Jackson's Hole
settlers, for killing Bannack Indians
The bureau has sent no communication
on the subject to the department OF
justice. 1t is probable, however, that
steps will be taken to bring those en-.
gagged in the killing to justice. Delays
have been caused by the fact that no law
is known under which United States
court could take cognizance of the mat
ter, and further, the fact that it is pra.ti.
cally impossible to secure conviction
In the Wyoming state courts, owing to
the strong feeling against the Indians.
Today, however, it was discovered that
the treaty of July 3, 1868. between the
Bannack and Shoshone Indians contains
this provision: "If bad men among the
whites, or among other people, subject
to the authority of the United States.
shall commit any wrong upon persons
or property of Indians, the United
States will, upon proof made to the
agent, and forwarded to the commits
sloner of Indian affairs, at Washington
City, proceed at once to cause the Of
Tenders to be arrested and punished, ac-
cording to the laws of the United States,
and also to reimburse the injured per-
sons for the loss sustained" While the
bureau has not yet decided on a course
of action, it is probable that arrests will
be made by the United States marshals
under the provisions of the treaty. The
persons arrested then can sue for writs
of habeas corpus, thus bringing the
validity of the treaty and the whole
status of the Indians into court.
