it out once week is now four days over
due, and nothing has yet been heard from
1t. Yesterday, just before the arrival of
the troops. number of Indian runners
started for the Jacksons Hole country to
warn their friends and relatives, and try
to get them out of there before the SOL
dicrs arrived. They were peaceful Indians
and went with the idea that the troops
would open fire on the first Indian seen.
Last night General Coppinger, through
Indian Agent Teters, sent 10 the agency
for more Indians to overtake these run
ners and explain to them, and have them
tell the Indians that those who were
peaceable would not be harmed.
1t Is the intention of the troops to pre-
vent blood being shed by either side if pos
slble, and endeayor to get the Indians to
return quietly to their reservations. There
is the greatest difference of opinion, even
among the most experienced frontiers
men, as to how successfully this plan will
be carried out. Some say not shot will
be fired, while others are equally positive
that the excitement has reached such
pitch IN the Jacksons Hole country that a
battle cannot be avoided. The Indian
peacemakers who arrived here this morn
ing and Immediately left to overtake and
pass the troops were: Major Tome, a Ban
mock chief: Captain Jim, Shoshone chief;
William Rem, captain of the Indian po-
lice; Joe Wheeler, an Indian Judge; R.
Lavette, an interpreter, and Jack Hurley,
Indian policeman.

BONES OF HIS VICTIMS.
Skeletons Mounted by Chap
man Turned Over to
the Police.
ANOTHER MURDER CHARGED.
Mrs. Lees Name Added to the List
Of Those Who Died in the
Chamber of Horrors.

CHICAGO, ILL, July 2S.-Chapman, the
mechanic, who yesterday told the police
that he had mounted the skeletons of four
of Holmes victims at the instance of the
murderer, to-day gave additional informa-
ton by which three of the skeletons were
secured and they are now in the hands of
Inspector Fitzpatrick. Chapman has not
been formally placed under arrest but
probably will be as soon as the police get
from him all the information he has. 1t
is said he knows too much of Holmes to be
an innocent man. What he claims is the
skull of Mrs. Conner was brought by him
to Inspector Fitzpatrick. He says that
the balance of this skeleton is now in the
hands of young medical student, to
whom he loaned it. The entire skeleton
will probably be in the hands of the police
tomorrow, together with that of Annie
Williams. Chapman is quite positive that
he knows from whose bodies the skeletons
were taken and does not seem to realize
that he will be made to tell where he ac-
quired the information or explain why he
has held the information secret.
The mechanic was greatly startled when
he found the police knew of his existence
or his connection with Holmes. He was
drinking in saloon early yesterday, and
becoming slightly intoxicated let slip
some remarks, which are accountable
for his being in the position in
which he finds himself. He at
first denied all knowledge of Holmes
or his doing, but decided later that he
would tell at least part of what he knows.
He has pleaded with the police to keep his
name from the public, as he has two re-
spectacle sons who are clerks in mercan-
tile houses, and who stand well with their
employers.
Upon information obtained from Chap
man Inspector Fitzpatrick tonight got
possession of the trunk in which Holmes
claims to have put the Williams girl when
he said he threw it into the lake. The
body was put into the trunk, but instead
of being sunk in the lake it was sent to a
house on Wentworth avenue, near Twenty.
second street, for Chapman to work on.
Chapman says that when he received the
body there was only half of the flesh left
on the bones-that the back of the head
and the hair were intact. He cleaned the
bones and set the skeleton for Holmes.
This skeleton, he alleges, is still in the
city, and early tomorrow morning he
promises to take the police to it. He also
says that the skeleton was disposed of by
Holmes, and that the present holders are
unaware that the fiend ever had anything
to do with it, as the sale was made through
an agent.
Chapman was taken to the Holmes
house in Englewood to-day. He has
pointed out two spots, one in the north
east corner of the cellar and one under the
sidewalk, where he claims the police will
find beneath the surface two bricked

FAREWELL GUNS DOOMED
Thousands of People Lined
the Shore to Wave
Their AdieuS.
BAFFLED BY LIGHT WINDS.
Towed by the Vanguard Until
Far Out on Its Westward
Course.

CAMPBELTON, SCOTLAND, July 2S.-The
yacht Valkyrie III is now well out
at sea, bearing westward the hopes OF
English sportsmen. She sailed yesterday
for America, and was given an enthu-
siastic farewell.
Saturday morning broke wet and cold,
with a fresh wind from the east. There
was quite sea running in the upper Firth.
No movement was made on the Valkyrie
until IL O'Clock, when her crew. all in oil
skins, boarded her from the Helene. which
had been acting as her tender. BY this
time the rain was falling heavily, softening
the wind and causing the sea to begin to
go down. AS soon as the crew was aboard
the work of adjusting the yachts COM
passes commenced. The sun being invis-
ible, shore marks were used for this pur-
pose.
At noon the blue peter was hoisted on
the foremast, indicating that the yacht
was about to sail. This signal attracted
the crowds ashore, who stood in the rain
watching the yacht as she swung around
in circles adjusting the compasses. At
o'clock the mpass-adjuster went ashore
and the boats of the Valkyrie were taken
on deck. No preparations for setting sail
were made, it being the intention to tow
the boat to sea.
at quarter past everything was in
readiness, and the tug Vanguard took her
position ahead of the Valkyrie and passed
tow line to her. Half an hour later the
yacht slipped her moorings and the Van
guard moved ahead, followed by the cup
- Il,
which was lying near, were the first to
cheer the departing yacht. The Valkyrie' S
crew responded heartily.
For the next hour the boat experienced
a continuous ovation that far surpassed
anything given former challengers
Thousands of excursionists crowded the
Gourock pier, cheering and waving adieas.
Crowds followed the yacht going down the
shore road. Every window in Ashton
fronting the water was occupied by
demonstrative spectators.
Navigator Harrison was steering the
boat, for which purpose a wheel gear has
been temporarily substituted for the tiller.
Captain Sycamore and the full crew. num-
bering forty-three men, were on deck. No
strangers were on board the yacht Lord
Dunraven, Mr. Watson, the designer of the
boat, and Mr.. Henderson, her builder.
were invisible. In addition to the United
Press boat the steam-yacht Madura was ac-
companying the Valkyrie. Captain Syca-
more soon relieved Navigator Harrison at
the wheel. AS soon as the boat had got
under way the blue peler was hauled down
and Lord Dunraven's blue and yellow rae
iDo fac that was at the m sthe ad in GtopS
was broken out The crew was busily en-
gagged in slowing the gear, securing the
boats that were upturned on deck and in

REASSURING REPORTS.

Further Trouble.

Further Trouble.
WASHINGTON, D. c.. July 2S.-Tele-
grams received at the War Department
from the seat of the Indian troubles are of
an encouraging nature. The denial of the
lowed by reports of pacific nature, which
are gratifying to the department.
Under date of July u General Coppinger
telegraphs Adjutant-General Vincent that
be intends to accompany the troops from
Market Lake to Jacksons Hole. The roads,
the telegram states, are in good condition,
save ten miles through the Teton Pass.
Five companies of the Eighth Infantry left
Fort Russell Saturday evening with the
intention of making forced march to
Market Lake, where they will be held,
awaiting orders, as a reserve force. The
commanding officers at Forts Washakie
and Du Chesne have telegraphed that the
Indians on their respective reservations
are not involved in the present difficulty.
General Coppinger also says that Agent
Teter of Fort Hall is to accompany him on
this expedition.
A later telegram from General Coppinger
received this evening says that the troops
left Market Lake Saturday evening at
O'Clock, and will reach Marysvale, on Little
Grove Tree Creek, Tuesday evening. Gen.
eral Coppinger has arranged to have con-
slant communication with the department
by means of courier service TO Fort Russell.
Two Indians and two chiefs from the
Shoshone and Bannock reservations left
this morning to join Major Chaffee and
render him such assistance as possible in
the Jacksons Hole country.
The battalion of infantry from Fort Rus
sci will reach Market Lake tomorrow
morning.
