"One of the News couriers just re-
turned. got far into Teton Basin, which
is the present point in danger of mas
sacre, now the Jackson's Hole citizens
are all butchered. He reports that the
smoke of a large fire can to-day be seen

the direction of Jackson's Hole.

have fired every home and cabin and
by morning they win be repeating
their work this side of the Teton Range
in Teton Basin, and perhaps after that
all down the Teton river valley in
Idaho.
Two hundred Utes were said to have
gone north to join the Indians in Ho-

parties OF Lempis have been slipping
in daily across the Conant trail, some
thing they have not ventured to do
since the Yellowstone National Park
was enlarged in 1891.
People in St. Anthony, Roxburg and
other towns located in Idaho between
the railroad and Jackson's Hole, have
all along been placing no confidence i4
the Indian scare, as they called it."
