Laws Of the State.

Laws OF the State.
Cheyenne, Wyo, July 23.-In a CONVEX
sation today Governor Richards said he
believed the Indian police would be able
to arrest all Indians now off their res
ervation. and If they experienced any
difficulty the regulars would be ordered
out to assist them.
This Indian trouble must be settled
quickly" said the governor land unless
the Washington authorities take decis-
i've action will order out the state troops
to arrest all rowing Indians. l am deter
mined that the Indians shall be made
to respect the laws of the state as well
as their white neighbors. The authorities
at Washington are careless in regard to
correspondence on the subject. My prede-
cessor, Governor Osborne wrote a letter
to the interior department relating to the
Indians killing game last summer. The
letter was never answered, neither was
the one / wrote last month"
BLOODSHED INEVITABLE
Pocatello, Idaho. July 23-At the Ban
mock Indian agency, 10 miles north Of
here, those in authority do not believe
the trouble in the Jackson Hole country
can possibly reach a final settlement now
without more bloodshed. Almost every
able-bodied Bannock has decamped for
the scene Of the trouble. From the most
trusted police 1t is learned that many In
dAoAo WIN dlt apparently 10
their homes have said they were taking
their squaws and papooses home to the
reservation, and then would return to
''see the white man of the Jackson Hole
country" Agent Tetors is making a trip
through the Jackson Hole country on
horseback.
