has not improved. In fact all the AZ
vices that have reached the r~eservatl".
are of a directly opposite nature.
Adjutant General Stizer, Of Wy.
ming, at Market Lake, is hourly ex
pecting to hear that a conflict had &c
Cured between the settlers and the Il
dams in Jackson Hole Valley. Two
of ibis messengers dispatched in that
district several days ago have not re-
turned, although overdue. Grave fears
are entertained that they have been
ambushed by the Indians. From the
other direction the news is of an { qually
disquieting nature.
Indian police who have returned
from the Salt River Valley, where the
big trading pow-woW has been in pro-
gress for a week, say that the band of
Bannocks under the leadership of Jim
Ballard has started north towards tine
seat of trouble. If these Indians reach
the belligerents in the Fall River Val
ley before the troops get there, and
they undoubtedly will, the result may
be disastrous. Billiards. band is com
posed Of the woIs5 element of the Ban
nocks, a tribe that in the general run
is bad enough, for they ere as a rule
lazy and shifJless fighting Indians.
This particular lot, however, are the
restless spirits of the tribe, always
ready for a quarrel, even in times of
peace, and in the present excitement it
would require much less leaven than
those fifty turbulent braves to stir to
an intense pitch the already excited
gathering on Fall River.
The authorities at the B3nnocks
Agency have all along been congratu
lating themselves that Ballard and his
gang we're not at the seal Of the trouble.
