that the Indians were returning from

A stage driver who has just reached
Soda Springs says he left Carraboo
this morning. He came through the
Prays Lake and Blackfoot river coun
try. He reparts 200 Bannocks at
Great Lake on the way from Jackson's

T A DROP TO DRINK.
New York Saloons We're Closed Up Tight
Yesterday.

Yesterday.
New YORK, July 30.-The police made
a supreme effort to enforce the excise
law today and to all appearances real
ICED their expectation almost to the
letter. To all practical inteut the law
was so thoroughly enforced that not a
saloon was open to the general public
and so fearful had the saloonkeepers
become of the citizen spy that it was
q difficult matter for even the initiated
to get q drink at any place unless the
proprietor Of the man in charge was
absolutely certain that no danger
would follow the admission Of the
wouldbe customer in the shape of q
summons to the court in the morning.
It was considered q notable sign
that no barroom fights we're reported
on the central Office slips from any
precinct in this city after the stroke
of midnight, which shut up the saloons
on Saturday. The oldest men in the
police headquarters could recall no
precedent for the lack of disorder.
At the clubs also the exise law was
to all appearances strictly observed.
The precinct commanders had strict
orders to see that the clubs were dealt
with as the saloons have been.
At the hotel it was somewhat differ
emit, as the regular guests were sup
piled with all the liquid refreshments
they wanted at their regular meals.
