PocATELLo, Ida, July T.-At Ban'
mock Indian agency thirteen miles
north OF hero, those in authority who
are in possession Of all the facts obtain
able, do not believe the trouble in the
jackson Hole country eau possibly
reach a final settlement now without
more blood,hed. The rumors current
here last night regarding depradRtIOna
OF returning band Of BannOcks and
their killing OF three white settlers can
not be further confirmed. Not more
than fifty Indians have go far returned
to the immediate vicinity Of the agency,
and they will not talk.
Although it can be positively stated
that tho rumored danger in this immo-
diato vicinity ia without foundation, it
is confidently believed from the adviCGs
brought daily by the Indian police from
the scenes OF tho recent trouble in
northwestern Wyoming that thore will
be other clashes thers between tho In.
dlaps and settlers and tough characters
in the Jackson Hole country. The 10.
dian police as q rule arc Indians first
and police afterwards, aud evidently
make report to their brother braves,
for almost every able.bodied Bannock
has between the return OF the police
aud this time decamped from tho sCOno
OF the trouble. From the most trusted
police il is learned that many Of the
Indians, who are apparently returning
to their homes, have quietly said that
they were taking their EquaWs aud
papponsOs homo 10 the reservation and
then would return TO SEQ tho white men
at tho Jackson Hole country.
These clashes III that region are ycar-
y occurrences, and there seems q deter
mination on both sides to settle tho
question as to whether the Indians have
right to hunt in the country regardless
OF state game laws. The Indians will
not givo up their old ground without q
struggle, and tho settlers aud characters
far worse than Indians are determined
TO give the Indians severe treatment.
THE MASSACRE.
