there for some time. Scouts will be
sent out to locate the Indians II posi-
bile. IL In evident that there has been a
great scattering of the Indian tribes.
and the bands seen by the settlers az
different points are undoubtedly those
who have escaped from Jackson Hole.

thorities 10 have some troops In therc
most of the summer 10 keep peace be-
tween the settlers and the Indians
Indian Agent Tetor and Clerk Nc

painfully along. When found he was
nearly dead. General Coppinger sent a

possible care.
TROOPS DID THE WORK.
A Statesman special from Pocatelio
says.
The situation at Soda Springs this
evening is very quiet. and the white
people are preparing TO return to their
homes. About $50 Bannock Indians who
camped at Manson last night passed
through Soda Springs. going with great
speed, towards Fort Hall reservation.
A gentleman came into Soda Springs
today and said that he went into a
camp OF 200 Indians on Gray's lake last
night. They told him they did NOT know
of any fighting and that II was all a
fuss made by the white people. and
laughed at he idea of settlers getting
scared at them. II is the impression
that the Indians received news of the
troops coming into jackson Hole and
are giving them the slip and are more
scared now than the white people.

tion is with the troops at jackson Hole
