Pocatello, Idaho, July 22.-'From pres
ent indications the conflict between the
settlers of the Jackson Hole country
northeastern Idaho and northwestern
Wyoming, and the Indians is not ended
To-day wanderers arrived on the reserva-
ton, but they are in far from peaceful
frame of mind, for in wagon they
brought the bodies of four dead bucks,
1t has been given out all along that only
one Indian had been killed. One of the
bucks said that they only came to the
reservation to got more ammunition and
were going back to kill the white men.
Agent letters will request the 9TH infan-
try from Fort Russell and Cheyenne, or
the Sth cavalry from Boise, to be at once
sent to this point, unless the Indians re-
turn quickly to their homes. j. @. Houtse,
ranchman, of Soda Springs, says that the
police told him that the Indians had killed
white man, his wife and child, and that
the settlers rallied and killed six Indians.
