PoCoTELI.A, Ida. July 27.-The Sit

where the Indians are on the warpath,
has not improved. IN fact all the ad-
vices that have reached this reservation
are of directly opposite nature.
Adjuntant General Sitter Of Wy
oming, who was at Market lake, was
hourly expecting to hear that con-
flict had occurred between the settlers
and the Indians in the jackson Hole
valley. Two Of his messengers dis
patched to that district several days
ago have Lot returned, although over.
due, and grave fears are now enter
tanned thai they have been ambushed
by the Indians. From the other direc.
ton the news is OF all equally disquiet-
ing nature.
The Indian police who have returned
from the Salt river valley where the
big trading pow WOW has been in prog.
ress for week, say that the band OF
Bannock Indians under the leadership
of jim Ballard, has started north
toward the seat of trouble. IT these In.
dams reach the belligerents in the Fall
river valley before the troops get there,
and they undoubtedly will, the result
may be disastrous. Billiards. band is
composed of the worst element OF the
Bannocks, and the general run is bad
enough, rs they are good fighting In
dams. This particular lot, however,
are the restless spirits Of the tribe, al.
ways ready for quarrel even in times
OF peace, and in the present excitement
it would require much less leaven than
these 80 turbulent braves to stir to an
intense pitch the already excited gath
ering on Fall river. The authorities ut
the Bannock agency have all along
been congratulating themselves that
Ballard and his gang We're not ut the

Crawford, a ranchman living near
Helena, has just returned from Jack
sols Hole. Wy, at the seat Of the lndi-
al trouble. He Went there the middle
o. June to take up some land, arriving
just in time to join the settlers in their
crusade against marauding Indians,
who were killing elk by the thousands,
leaving the carcasses to rot and taking
only the hides and heads, which they
sell to white traders. The Wyoming
laws forbid this, but the Indians
claimed the right to hunt under the
treaty. Crawford says this treaty ap-
plies on y to the Shoshones, of whom
there are only u few in the Hole.
Crawford says the settlers are amply
able to stand off the force until the
troops arrive. He says the mountain
passes are guarded by the settlers in.
stead of by the Indians. The object is
to keep the latter from escaping before
they can be arrested.
