| trenched awaiting an attack.
Bloodshed Certain.
Pocatello, Idaho, July 24.-At the
Bannock Indian agency it is feared that
| the trouble III Jacksons Hole country
| cannot possibly reach a final settlement
/ now without mere bloodshed. The ru-
mors current here last night regarding
| depredations of returning band Of
Bannocks and their killing Of three
white settlers cannot be further con
firmed. Not more than fifty Indians
have returned to the immediate vicinity
Of the agency, and they will not talk.
Other Clashes Feared.
Although the rumors of danger in
this immediate neighborhood are with
out foundation, it is confidently believed.
from the advices brought daily by the
Indian police from the scene of the re-
cent trouble IN northwestern Wyoming,
that there vii ie other clashes there be-
tween the Indians and settlers and tough
characters in the Jacksons Hole country
From the most trusted police it is
learned that many of the Indians who
are apparently returning TO their homes
have quietly said that they were taking
squaws and papooses home to the reser-
vation. and then would return to see
the white men of the Jacksons Hole
couLvry.
Will Not Give Up the Ground.
These clashes are of yearly occur
renee, and there seems q determination
on both sides to settle the question as to
whether Indians have right to hunt in
that country regardless of state game
laws. The Indians will not give up
their old ground without q struggle, and
the settlers are inclined to give the In
dlans such severe treatment that they
! Will not letlrn next year.
Bucks Absent from the Reservation.
AT least 100 bucks are absent from
their reservation, and nearly all of their
leaves of absence expired some time ago.
Agent Teter has begun thorough inves-
| tigation of the trouble, and is making
trip through the Jacksons Hole country
on horseback. He is expected back to-
day, and authoritative statements can be
secured then. although even he cannot
foretell just what will be done by fhs
Indians who are plotting to return to
their disputed hunting grounds unen-
numbered with their families. 1t is the
general opinion at the agency that the
Bannock braves cannot be brought back
without the use OF federal troop.
