THE BUTcHERED BANNoCKS.
KILLED FOR DOING WHAT WHITE
MEN CONTINUALLY DO.

A Cavalry Captain Says the Killing,
Under the Circumstances. Was
Very Like Murder-The business Of
Professional White Hunters In
jured by the Red Men. and so the
whites Wiped Them Out-Many An
and Horns Alone.
Washington. Aug. 1s.-The report OF In
dian Agent Teter OF the Fort Hall reser-
walton upon the recent Bannock trouble
was received at the Indian bureau to-
day. It confirms the heretofore published
accounts of the Killing of the Bannock
Indians.
In connection with the killing OF these
Indians an interesting report has been re.
ceived by the Secretary of the Interior.
forwarded from the war department. II
is by Capt. J. r. Van Orsdale OF the
Seventh United States cavalry. formerly
acting agent Of the Fort Hall reserva-
ton. The report says in part:
Being short-rationed and far from self
supporting. the Bannocks hunt for the
purpose of obtaining sustenance. by
treaty they are granted this privilege. II
would seem that the killing Of these In
dlans under the circumstances was notn-
ing more or less than murder. Further
believe that there is no wanton slaughter
of game by these Indians, while 1t is a
notorious fact that hundreds of the ami
mails are killed by white men for nothing
more than heads and horns
There are men In that country who
make a business to pilot hunting parties
from the east and abroad, which not only
slaughter elk. but capture and ship them
out OF the country. The killing OF game
by Indians interferes with this business
The Indians can hardly be expected to
submit TO the killing Of their people while
engaged in an occupation which they
think they have a right TO follow more
quietly than the white men, and failure
by the government TO take proper action
is liable to result in serious loss of life
and property"
The report is dated at Fort Logan, Col,
and bears the Endorsement OF Lieut.. Col.
Henry +. Noyes of the Second Cavalry
commanding the post, who says he con-
ours heartily in what Capt Van Orsdale
has said. II is also indorsed by Brig.
Gen. Frank Wheaton, commanding the
department OF the Colorado, who hopes
that Capt. Van Orsdale's recommends
tlons will be fairly considered.
The following telegram from Gen. Cop
pinger dated Jacksons Hole, Aug. r..
was received at army headquarters to-
day: THE last two scouting parties.
under Lieuts Parker and Gardener, are
now on the ground. The section has
been well worked; all quiet here. Shall
take two troops of cavalry and work
eastward through White River moun-
tains Address Fort Waskaki. 1 leave
Maj Chaffee in command OF all troops
in the Jacksons Hole country"
Gen. Coppinger evidently regards the
trouble as over, and will go home with
a portion of his troops.

after which the most sensational trial in
the history OF the state will begin.
Hon. A. ]. McLaurin, democratic nom
inee for governor, Is being harshly eriti-
clsed for taking hand in the case. He Is
the leading lawyer for the defense and the
size OF his fee Is variously reported all
the way from $i.OOo to 5000. In case Of
the conviction of Marshall, Mr. McLaurin
as governor might be called upon 70 ex-
ercise his pardoning power, in which event
he would find himself in a very awkward
position Outside OF conditions that could
arise in case OF Marshalls conviction and
appeal to Gov McLaurin for executive
clemency, II Is feared that tho very fact
OF his appearing as attorney In such an
important and sensational trial may en-
danger his chances Of election.
A prominent minister Of the gospel was
heard to say yesterday: "If McLaurin
takes part in that trial I'll vote the popu7
list ticket"
One detection does not count for much,
but preachers are influential persons
around here, and such a threat shows
which way the wind blows. Your reporter
has, heard scores Of adverse criticisms on
Gov-to-be McLaurin.
