Bannock Indian troubles. made by the /
direction OF the encouragement. The |
reports are dated Aug. q. The district
attorney for Wyoming reports as fol-
lows: II have no doubt whatever that
the killing Of the Indian. Tanega, on
or about the 18th Of July was an afro
cious. outrageous and cold-blooded
murder; and 1t was a murder perpe-
tralted on the part OF Constable Man
ming and his deputies In pursuance of
a scheme and conspiracy on their part
TO prevent the Indians from exercising
right and privilege which is. In my
opinion. very clearly guaranteed to
them by the treaty before mentioned.
Should the prosecution on the part OF
the United States be determined on, 1t
would be useless TO commence 1t before
commissioner. As the law now Is.
We are bound to bring prisoners before
the United States commissioner near
est to the place of arrest, and. In this
case, II would be before Mr.. Pettigrew.
the commissioner of Marysvale. am
informed that he Is thoroughly in SYM
pathy with the so-called settlers in
that region. and that he advised Con-
stable Manning and his posse that the
provisions OF the treaty under which
the Indians claim the right to hunt on
the unoccupied lands Of the United
States had, for some reason. ceased TO
be operative. Hence, l think, that to
cause the arrest of these men and take
them for hearing before this commits
sioner would simply result In their dis
charge.
"It seems to me TO be a great pity
that there Ii no national law which
can be certainly invoked for the protec-
tion of these, our domestic subjects.
weak and defenseless as they are. In
their right to enjoy the privileges guar
anteed to them by solemn treaty, TO
the enforcement OF which the honor Of
the country Is pledged. and that their
only protection against forcible resist
ance to their enjoyment OF these rights
must be found inthe courts Of the state
wherein the juries will unquestionably
look on them as possessing no rights
which a white man Is bound to re-
spect."
The district attorney has been ad.
vised that the department concurs with
him In the opinion that there Is no fed

can be punished. Accompanying the
