! MARKET LAKE. Idaho. July 29.-Ad-
the effect that the Indians are pouring
into Jackson's Hole from all directions.
! though they have not molested settlers.
They are located in the widest part
I OF the valley. in a position from which
all the troops in this department could
| not move them II they chose to remain
Or. Winburn, OF Rexburg. has just
come from that place with information
that James Simmons and Fred Cum
ningham, two scouts, arrived in Rex
burg last evening straight from Jack
sons Hole. They report that no con-
hct has taken place between whites
and Indians sc far and that matters
are quiet.
The Indians to the number OF 500 are
In Hoback Basin. about fifty miles from
Marysvale where the settlers are forti-
fled and prepared to resist the savages
should an attack be made.
POCATELIO. Idaho. july 29.--Com-
panies A. ID and Il of the Eighth In
fantry. L. s. a, from Fort Russell.
commanded by Major Bisbee. arrived in
the city last evening at 5 o'clock and
left at o'clock for Market Lake. There
are "'5 soldiers in the company.
They do not expect to leave Market
Lake until something is heard from the
United States cavalry which left Mar
ket Lake Saturday afternoon for Jack
sons Hole 1t is hardly probable that
! the detachment will go further than
Market Lake, but camp there to await
the result.
News from Market Lake last evening
| said nothing had been heard from the
seat of trouble for five days and that
all reports are false. The four com
panies OF cavalry should reach Jack
sons Hole at noon to-day.
1t Is evident from the present Inda
situation that there Is danger Of a clash
OF authority and that the present field
movements will be followed by a lively
battle in the courts.
Gov Richards. Of Wyoming, insists
| that the Indians will be taught that
when they are in Wyoming they must
obey the State laws. He objects to hav-
ing the settlers OF Northern Wyoming
harassed and frightened by bands of
Indian hunters from other States.
Indian Agent Teter. on the other hand.
made an investigation for the Govern
ment. and asserts that tho Indians are
in the right and have authority to hunt
in Wyoming under their treaty Of 1868.
1t Is stated that indictments will be
sworn out against every one OF the set
tiers who was connected with the killing
Of the Indians who tried to escape while
under arrest. This is in line with the
recommendation made by Indian Agent
Teter in his Official report of the original
trouble.
The settlers will be put on trial for
taking the Indians lives, and In this way
the long mooted question Of authority in
Jackson's Hole VIII eventually reach a
legal settlement.
No mail has been received from Jack
sons Hole this week. The stage which
brings It out once a week Is now four
days overdue and nothing has yet been
heard from 1t.
Just before the arrival OF the troops a
number OF Indian runners started for
the Jackson's Hole county to warn their
friends and relatives and endeavor to
get them out OF there before the soldiers
arrived.
Gen. Copp!nger, through Indian Agent
Teter. sent to the agency for more In
dians to overtake these runners and en-
plain to them to 20 on and tell the In
dians that. II they were peaceable. they
weuld not be harmed.
