POCATELLO, Idaho, July 23.-Unlon
Pacific Engineer Robert Fitzpatrick,
who pulled the northbound freight into
PocatelIo at 6 o'clock this morning,
brings positive confirmation of the ru-
morod conflict in the Salt River valley.
Mail Carrier Alma Vail, who arrived
81 Montpelier from Star Valley this
morning, reported to the constable
that the 3annock Indians from this
reservation had killed Il settler, his
wife ard child. a posse of citizens
was at once formed, which pursued the
band Of reds and killed six of them be-
fore they escaped into the mountains.
The excitement among the settlers in
northwestern Wyoming over the
threatened uprising of the Bannock
and Shoshone Indians is growing more
intense every day. They are leaving
their ranches in large numbers and
gathering q t favored points for mutual
protection in case the irate bucks re-
turn to seek revenge for the death Of
their brother braves. VINO were killed
in the Jackson's Hole country.
I In the Salt River valley only one
kundred miles southeast of here, the
confirmation of the reported killing Of
three whites and SIX Indians is spread
ing alarm at rapid rate. Innumerab BILE
pleasure parties have given up con-
templated trips into the mountains
. which abound in the finest sport of all
kinds at this season. These settlers,
too, are becoming thoroughly aroused
and if they are not soon protected by
government troops they will take tbs
field in protection Of their own homes,
land they are well qualified by long ex-
81 erience in this country to do even
more effective fighting than the regu-
lars Even the Indians realize that the
cowboys are more dangerous than the
troops. The reds know they can sur
render to the soldiers, and they will
be in no further danger; when the
frontier volunteers go out TO hunt In
dams, they fight as the Indians do
themselves. They shoot TO kill and
kill all in sight.

TRAIN HELD UP.
About $4,000 Taken By Six Masked

ADOGI srS.OOO laENen by SIX h1SAeSi
Men.
TOLEDO, July 24.-The Lake Shore
&, Michigan Southern train going west,
due here at ITO in charge of Conduc-
tor Darling and Engineer Tiernan. was
held up and robbed at Reese, a small
station thirty-three miles west of here.
at 12:4p this morning. They had pulled
into a blind siding to allow a special
to pass, when the train was boarded
by six masked men, who at the point
of reviewers compelled the express
messenger 70 unlock the safe and de-
liver the money.
The amount taken from the car is
not known, but it is estimated by the
express officials here at $4,000.
The officials are of the opinion that
the robbery was committed by persons
in close touch with the employees of
the road, as they had positive informa-
ton as to the trains meeting on the
siding and also of the unusually heavy
express run. The passengers were
not molested and after completing
their work the robbers took to the
woods and disappeared.
The detective force from this city
started at once for the scene on d
special, and the country is being close
~ watched for suspicious persons.

every stitch of clothing torn from her

faptain letters, Indian agent at the
E'5rt Hall. Idaho, reservation, came in
today from the Jackson's Hole country
and reports everything quiet and few,
if any, Indians in the country.
CAPTAIN Teters, however, was fol-
lowed by a courier from the settlers
with dispatch to Governor Richards,
which tells another story. The courier,
Fred White, reports that the Indians
have been joined by a large number
of Lembi and Ute Indians, and that
they have every pass in Jackson's Hole
guarded. Scouts from the settlers

no danger Of meeting the Indians.
Many sensational reports have been
sent out. but there has been no fight
ing on the part of the Indians and the
only ones slain were those reported in
these dispatches last week. The In

MRS. CONNER DEAD.
a Paper Says There is No Doubt
About 1t,

CHICAGO. July 2$.-A local paper
today prints the following: That Mrs.
I. Z. Conner is dead is certain. That
Holmes either killed her OF is directly
responsible tor her death. is equally
sure. Holmes yesterday admitted the
woman was no more, but, as usual. he
tried to shift the blame on someone
else.
Almost equally certain it is that Mrs.
Corners daughter, Gertrude, is not in
the land of the living. Holmes saws
he does not know what has become of
her, and that in itself is practically an
admission that She has been done
away with.
The fact that Holmes admits Mrs
Corners death, is not known to the
authorities in Philadelphia He made
the admission yesterday afternoon to
a man who. with District Attorney
Graham. was closeted with him in the
penitentiary. This is his statement:
Mrs. Conner got into trouble and a
Chicago doctor performed an opera
ton. The job was>such a bungling one
the woman died"
This is the first light she'd on the
case since Mrs. Conner disappeared
from public view in 1893

M'LAURIN THE GOVERNOR.
That is the Way the Strayvs Now
Point in Mississippi.

JACKSON, Miss, July 2S.-R. H. Henry,
editor of the Clarion Ledger said today:
LAS a result of the primaries held so
far, it is evident that ex-senator Nc
Laurin will be nominated for governor
McLaurin is pronounced advocate of
free coinage of silver, and is opposed by
Hon. II. H. McCabe, an advocate Of the
single standard. There are five candi
dates for United States senator. viz:
Governor ]. N. Stone. Ex-Governor Rob
ert Lowry and Congressman Money.
Hooker and Allen. OF these. Governor
Stone is a gold man and the remaining
four are all strong silver men. Nearly
every candidate so far nominated for
the legisla ture is a free silver man and
almost every nominee from constable up
is for the white metal. 1t is therefore
plain that whoever is elected TO the
senate he will be a silver advocate. There
will be no contest in the Democratic
state convention which assemblies here
in August. Silver men have absolute
control and will adopt strong resolu-
tfons."

Mr.. Hail took the children TO the no
tel and engaged rooms for them. That
night a woman called at the hotel and
waited on the sidewalk until she could
talk to the children. Between 8 and 10
o'clock the children found their chance
to steal from the hotel and the last
trace that the police could find was
that the children had gone with the
woman. The same night another wo-
man. well dressed, made inquiries at
the Plankington house as to where she
could find the children.
Detective NicManus, VINO had charge
of the case at the time, now believes
that the stranger who brought the
children to Mr.. Hall was Holmes, who
at about that time told Mrs. Pitzel
that the children We're at a school in
Indianapolis. Mr.. Hall had been
shown pictures of the children and
says that the girl resembles Nellie Pit
eel in every respect. Who the woman
is that took them away and what OBJ
ject Holmes had in taking them from
the Plankington where Manager King
agreed to keep them until they found
their father, is complete mystery.
