HAMMOCK INDIAN TROUBLES,
GENERAL COPPINGER Is HURRY
ING CAVALRY TO THE SEAT
OF TROUBLE.
-FOUR TROOPS EN- ROUTE TO MAR
KET LANE.
The Situation is Not Regarded as Serious,
Though Some Reports Would Indi-
cate Otherwise-Story of Per-
sons from Jackson's
Hole.

Washington, July 2S.-Dispatches re-
ceived at army headquarters from Gem
eral Coppinger show that the force of
cavalry ordered to take JackSon's
Hole, the scene of the trouble in Wyo-
ming, is making Tits way there and will
probably reach. there Wednesday. In
addition troops baUa been ordered to
Market Lake, SO as to be ready if re-
quired
The situation is now regarded as very
much simphfed. General Coppinger's
dispatch reads substantially as follows:
Major Chase and squadron of cavalry
left Market Lake at p. m. Saturday
and will probably reach Maryville, near
Jackson's Hole, on Little Grover Tree
lake, ON Tuesday. Constant cOmmuni-
cation between THE two places will be
kept up
Another dispatch from General Coppin-
Ger states THAT the road to Marysvile,
except 10 miles from letter pass, is re-
nolted aS good. Three companies of the
Eighth regiment left Fort Russell Sum
day afternoon to be held as "a reserve
force. The Indians are mot reported as
involved i'm the hOStlle movement. Agent
letter is en- route with the commander of
AIarysville. The companies of the
Eighth infantry Will reach Market lake
tomorrow (NIOnday) morning. The state
ment THAT the Indians on the Washakie
and Du Chesne reservations are not I'M
yolved i'm the movement is regarded by
the officials as very important.
The condition of affairs, ut is believed
makes the situation much easier 10 handle,
for with but ONE tribe of Indians to de-
feat the uprising cam be much easier sup
messed. There are now four troops OF
cavalry on their way to Market Lake and
five more will be at Market Lake tomorr,,
row, which makes THE available force aIi
that it is hoped will be necessary to quell
the disturbance.

A Thousand Hogsheads this Week.

Decidedly the heaviest offerings of
the season occurred this week, the
sales being but few less. One thous-
and hogsheads were put upon the
market and nearly all were sold at
satisfactory prices. Some good leaf
made its appearance and prices for
this grade ranged from $40 to $l3.
The market as whole was firm and
very active on all grades and was the
best OF the season. There was good
demand for the lower grades, where
the goods were well ordered and
such classes brought very satisfactory
prices also. Receipts this week were
very heavy and the outlook is most
fattering for a large increase, as
much of the weed is still in the barn.
The setting of the new crop in this
section amounts to about rs per cent.
of the usual crop, and with another
season for this work a pretty full
acreage will be the result. In some
of the adjoining counties, however,
there have been very poor seasons
and not more than one third of the
usual amount haze been put out. In
some places where hills had been
made the land is being planted in

instruct for Hardin in some precincts,
but the county convention will hard
ly treat the local candidate with such
discourtesy. The convention will in
all probability send Hardin dele
cation without positive instructions
that would shut Brown out of the
race.
If the convention takes any action
on the currency question, it will like
ly be to suggest the endorsement of
the last national platform. Christian
county conventions are usually har-
monious and conservative in their
proceedings and it is not likely that
the coming one will be an exception
to the rule.
