CALLED IT MURDER
Killing of the Bannock Indians
Demands Prompt Gov
eminent Action.
REPORT OF AN ARMY OFFICER,
Failure to Right the Wrong
May Result in Serious
Loss of Life.

WASHINGTON, Aug. ia report
sent to the war department. by Cap
tain j. T. Van Ersdale of the Seventh
infantry, late acting agent at the Fort
Hall Indian reservation, on the subject
of the trouble with the Bannock In
dians, has been forwarded to the secre.
tary of the interior. 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 priv
iege. 1t would seem that the killing
of these Indians under the circum.
stances is nothing more or less
than murder. Further, I be-
lieve that there is no wanton
slaughter of game by them, while it is
notorious fact that hundreds of ami
mails are killed by white men for moth
ing more than heads and horns. The
Indians can hardly be expected to SUBJ
init to the killing Of their people while
engaged in an occupation which they
think they have right to follow, and
failure by the government to take
proper action is apt to result in serious
loss of life and property.

POLICE WAR ENDED
The Omaha Muddle Will Be
Settled by the State Su-
preme Court.
OLD OFFICERS IN POSSESSION
Agreed They Shall Not Be Mo.
Tested Until D. ciSiOn Is
Reached.

OMAHA, Aug. 15.-The war which
has been threatening to break out in
Omaha for the past two weeks will not
materialize unless the present indica-
tions are misleading. This is the result
of conference between the old and
new police commissions.
The A. P. A. commission convened
at 10 a. m.. in rooms reserved for their
use by the city council. The quarters
were crowded by a gathering Of prob
ably 300 sympathizers. A letter was
sent to the old commission asking a
conference, without, however, stating
the object. The old commission agreed,
and indicated the mayors office, where
the meeting was held.
After al animated discussion, the
old fire and police commission refusing
any compromise, except on the basis OF
permitting the supreme court to pass
upon the situation, the A. P. A. COM
mission consented, and it was agreed
that the old commission should con-
tinue to conduct the Offices of the city
until a decision was rendered in the
case. This was considered definite
settlement of the case.

NORTHERN PACIFIC CONTROVERSY

Mr.. Pettitt viii Ask to Have Receivers
Appear in Court Aug. 22.
SEATTLE, WASH, Aug. l5.-Prospects
are good for another order in the
Northern Pacific railroad controversy.
AS result Of long conference of the
receivers, it is understood that Silas w.
Petit, who had forced the issue on
them, would ask for an order citing the
receivers all along the line to appear in
Judge Hanford's court Ang. 20, the
date set for the hearing OF the
application to have the receivers re-
moved and new ones appointed. His
object is said to be to bring on new ev-
idence to show that the receivers are
working in collusion with the Hill
Adams combination to secure the
Northern Pacific for the Great North.
ern. Such evidence would be in sup
port of motion to GUST and the attor-
neys have gathered evidently to resist
Mr.. Petit. If the order is obtained it
will include William M. Cromwell,
general counsel of New York, and
General Manager Kendrick of St. Paul.

Another Sensation in the Durrant Case Il

SAN Francisco, Aug. 15.-Another
sensation has developed in the Durrant
case Whether it is case of jury
bribing, or bold attempt at black
mail, the police and others who have
Investigated the matter are unwilling
and probably unable to state with posi-
tlveness. The fact remains that Mrs.
Durrant, mother Of the young man
who is accused Of numbering Minnie
Williams and Blanche Lamont, was
approached recently by a mysterious
woman, whose desire was to sell some
thing of extreme Importance to the
safety of Theodore Durrant. It was
intimated that at least three Of the
jurors already accepted could be in
fuenced to vote for an acquittal. But
coin would be required to get these
votes.
Mrs. Durrant not only spurned the
offer, but informed the attorneys for
her son and also notified the police of
the nature OF the offer made to her.
The woman is Mrs. Sarah Groger,
who resides at SIG Leavenworth street.
While she denies having offered any
jurors for sale, she admits having WIS.,
tied Mrs Durrant and Offering for coin
to bring Jout the accomplishment of
somethl g which would be Invaluable
to the defense of Theodore Durrant.

will appear in full in the program
which as usual will be issued the
day before the races. An evening

have been made. Billy 9. and

according to rules, three horses
should be entered before a start
can take place. There is no doubt
that the committee will suspend
the rules to prevent a most inter
