About six months ago my little son, aged
three, was very much troubled with breaking
out on his scalp and behind his ear. The places
effected were about as large as silver dollar,
the flesh seemed raw and covered with little
blisters. The child suffered considerably, and
was naturally very fretful. Itried several rene
dies without obtaining any beneficial results,
in fact the eruptions seemed to be spreading
and new places breaking out. I concluded
to try the CUTIcURA REMEDIES, and bought
box of CUTICURA, a cake of CUTICURA SOAP,
and bottle of CUTICURA REsoLvENT. washed
the effected parts with the CUTICURA SOAP,
taking not to irritate the flesh, and applied
CUTIcURA. noticed a change for the better in
the appearance of the eruptions in twenty -four
hours. continued the treatment morning and
night and in two weeks the eruptions entirely
disappeared, leaving the skin smooth and the
scalp clean, in fact perfect cure, as have not
seen any indications of any eruption or breaking
out since. i gave the child only few doses Of
the CuTIcURA REsoLvENT. | consider your
CUTIoURA REMEDIES very valuable, and expect
to keep small supply constantly on hand. /
believe CUTICURA would be excellent for apply
ing to insect bites, which are very annoying in
this country. c. A. ARMSTRONG,

Governor Mcconnell Asks PrOtcc tiOn for
Teton Basin Citizens.

Boise, July Ex-Governor Mcconnell,
who has just returned to the city, has re-
ceived letter from Samuel Swanner of
Hayden, Teton basin, written on behalf
of the settlers in the basin, asking for pro-
lection against the Indians. The writer
states that there are 200 families in that
vicinity and they are without means Of
defending themselves against any hostile
Indians that may come that way. Some
have guns, but there is very little ammu-
milton among them. The basin Of the
Teton adjoins the Jackson Hole country
and the settlers feel that they are in
danger. The governor determined to ask
the president to afford protection to those
people and has sent the following tele-
gram:
Boise July 24-Grover Cleveland,
President of the United States, Washing
ton, d. c.: Settlers in Teton basin, in this
state, in great danger from Indians
Troops or volunteers moving from wy
oming make the danger more imminent
on the Idaho border. The troop of cav
airy at Boise barracks could reach Teton
basin via Utah Northern railroad and
Market lake more quickly than from any
other post. Settlers should be protected
and I have no cavalry at my command
Please grant needed aid.

dian Agent Tetor, who returned early

Hole, says in regard to the Indian
troubles in that vicinity:
1.-THE settlers are thoroughly alarmed
and they have good reason to be. There
are no large camps Of Indians at pres
ent in jackson Hole proper, but I was
reliably informed that there are from
200 to 400 camped in the Fall River
valley, IS miles south. There are In
dams, however, scattered all over the
country and it is not safe for white
men to go out alone. The Indians shoot
from ambush at every white man who
makes his appearance and the whites
have adopted the same tactics toward
the Indians. The settlers have cOngre-
gated at several points to protect them
selves. The settlers are anxious to go
out after the Indians and wipe them
out. They decided a year ago that if
the Indians returned again this sum-
mer they would break up their custom
Of hunting in this locality. All the
women are almost distracted with fear
and as there are not more than 200
settlers in the Jackson Hole valley
considered 1t necessary to send in the
call for troops, which I did immedi-
ately upon my arrival here. ! do not
think the settlers are in imm adiate
danger, but if troops are not sent at
once they will be-"

Denver, July PA special to the
News from Lander. Wyo., says:
A letter received here today from a
Mr.. Augustine, whose home is at Lew
iston, says that a large number Of In
dams were seen there day before go
ing around point in Windy river to-
ward Snake river valley, and as this
valley leads directly to Jackson Hole,
it was his opinion that they were going
there. A guide named Carr makes the
same report to Captain Sheldon, COM
manding the militia at this point. Par
ties from the Windy river say the route
as far as the Union pass is lined with
Indians going in small parties.
Yarnel, the old government guide.
who is supposed to be the best authority
on the Indians in this country, came
in today from the Grosventre. He says
that he ran across a party of Shoshone
warriors who were stripped of their
horses, guns and fine feathers. They
had on moccasins that were worn
through and the imprint Of each foot
step was stained with blood. They told
him that they had escaped from the
white men, who had taken from them
their horses and guns and were making
their way back to the Shoshone agency.
Yarnel says the settlers in Jackson Hole
are thoroughly scared and care is taken
to prevent an Indian surprise. A stock
ade has been built near Marsvale,
where the families have been taken for
safety, while the men are out securing
for Indians. He thinks there is no
immediate danger, as the Indians are
somewhat demoralized at the rough
usage they have received at the hands
Of the whites. Mr.. Yarnel says the set
tiers arrested nine Indians and while
they were being taken to Jail they
made break for liberty and seven were
shot dead. Mr.. Yarnel says this is not
the end of the Indian trouble.

Washington, July N.-The secretary Of

Indian disturbance in Wyoming. 1t is
understood the request will be granted
as soon as official papers are received by
the secretary of war, and troops ordered
Instantly to the vicinity of the trouble.
This action of the interior department
was taken upon receipt of the following
dispatch this morning from Agent TetOr,
who was ordered to go from the Fort
Hall reservation, Idaho, to investigate
the trouble and induce the Indians to re-
turn to the reservation:
Fort Hall, Idaho, July A-To Brown
ing, Commissioner Of Indian Affairs,
Washington, D. c.: I investigated the
troubles between the Indians and settlers
of Wyoming, and advise that troops be
sent there Immediately to protect law
abiding citizens. The lawless element
among the settlers seems determined to
cause conflict with the Indians. The
settlers have kill four to seven Indians,
which has incensed the Indians, who have
gathered to the number of 300 or 400 near
Fall river, Uintah county. and refuse to
return to the reservation. I find that the
Indians killed game unlawfully, accord
ing to the laws of Wyoming, though not
unlawfully according to the treaty Of the
1uO1SiuS With LIo OIlICN 0ldIcS, lluS
usurping the prerogative of settlers,
which caused the trouble. Nothing but the
Intervention Of soldiers will settle the diff
ficulty and save the lives Of innocent
persons and prevent destruction of prop
erty. TETOR, Agent
Secretary Lamont during the afternoon
ordered General Coppinger to proceed to
the scene of the disturbances and make
such disposition of the forces under his
command as he may deem necessary to
protect settlers and secure the return of
the Indians to the reservation
