He was helping q visitor the other

he noticed that she was still struggling
to push in her rebellious big sleeves
he suggested, respectfully:

MURDER OF THE BANNOCKS
Officers Made Pointed Reports
Concerning the Unpro-
voked Slaughter.
Constable Manning's Men Did All
They Could to Induce the Reds
to Try to Escape.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Aug. 30.-Acting
Attorney-Gen Whitney to-day made
public two reports received by the Depart
ment of Justice in response to inquiries re-
gardlng the Bannock troubles in Wyoming.
United States District Attorney Clarke of
Wyoming reports as follows:
II have no doubt whatever that the kill
ing of the Indian Ta-Ne-Ga-En, on or
about the 18th of July. was an atrocious,
outrageous and cold blooded murder, and
that it was a murder perpetrated on the
part of the constable, Manning, ana his
deputies in pursuance of a scheme and
conspiracy Oh their part to prevent the
Indians from exercising right and privi-
Iege, which is, in my opinion, very clearly
guaranteed to them by the treaty before
mentioned"
The second report comes from the
United States Deputy Marshal OF Wyo-
ming and states that from personal IN
vestigation he is satisfied that the reports
made by settlers charging the Indians
with wholesale slaughter OF game for wan
tonness or for the purpose OF securing the
hides of the animals killed have been very
much exaggerated. He asserts that when
Constable Manning and his posse OF
settlers arrived with party OF Indians on
July Is, and started with them for Marys-
vale, he and his men did all they could to
induce the Indians to try to escape, IN
order that there might be basis OF justlh-
cation for killing some OF them.
