MARKET LAKE, Idaho. July 26.

MARKET LAKE, Idaho, July &c.
w. A. Richards Governor: In obedience to
your verbal orders given July II, 1895, direct
ing me to proceed to Jacksons Hole and report
the cause OF the disturbance between the set
tiers and Indians in Uinta County, Wyo.,
proceeded to Marysvale, arriving there on Sat-
urday evening, July 20. On Sunday forenoon,
July 2l, at the Marysvale postoffice, confer
ence was held between T. B. Teter, agent for
the Hall Indian reservation, and about fifty
hve settlers OF Jacksons Hole Captain William
House OF the Indian police, Shoshone Indian,
was also present at the meeting
The conference between Agent Teter and the
settlers was OF very unsatisfactory character
and created some bitter feeling. In 1894, ow-
ing to the repeated petitions of the settlers and
complaints of the county authorities of Uinta
and Fremont counties, the Department of the
Interior, by circular letter of instructions, un-
der date of February, 1894, instructed the
Indian agent at Fort Hall and Shoshone agen-
cles to issue no passes to Indians for the pur-
pose OF leaving their reservations under any
circumstances, and especially not for the pur-
pose of hunting.
During the spring of 1895 the settlers of
Jacksons Hole determined to see to the en-
forcement of the game laws. On the oath day
OF June process was issued for the apprehen-
sion of nine Bannock Indians and placed in
the HdnuS OF COQSt6 Die William Manning lot
service. On June 26 a constable and two
deputies came upon seven of the Indians in
the Fall River basin in the act of taking the
hides off nineteen head of COW elk which had
just been killed.
The Indians resented any interference with
their unlawful acts and threatened the con-
stable and deputies with personal violence if
they did not Immediately leave the vicinity,
and threatened the deputies that if they or the
people of Jacksons Hole in any manner inter
fered with their hunting they would kill every
man, woman and child in Jacksons Hole. At
this time the constable being unable to make
any arrests returned to Jacksons Hole and
reported the fact. On June IS Captain John
Smith, a prospector and miner in charge of
some of the Gros Ventre properties, was return
ing to his camp when he was fired ON from
breast The wound, however, was not serious
one and Captain Smith returned the fire, kill
ing one of the Indians, and the others made
their escape.
1t is estimated that 5000 head Of elk have
already been killed by the Indians this season.
Bodies of elk are lying on the hillsides and
timbered ravines, shorn OF their hides Only.
Motherless calves follow the horses of the set
tiers as they pass through the country, their
mothers having been killed by the Indians.
This is the cause of the trouble between the
Indians and white men of this country.

consideration the foregoing report

FIRE IN 4 POORHOUSE.
Several Unfortundtes Thought to Hare

MADISON, WIS, July 81, 1855 A. MA
telephone message from Verona says the
poorhouse and insane asylum is on fire,
and that there is loss of life. Help has
been sent from here.
The tire started between the poorhouse
and the asylum and got beyond control in
a few minutes, spreading in all directions.
superintendent Edwards, who went on the
roof to fight the fire, fell to the ground and
was seriously and perhaps fatally hurt.
The buildings will be complete loss, and
it is reported that some of the inmates
were burned. There are over 100 inmates
in the two buildings.
When the fire first broke out every eff
fort was made to keep the fact from the
insane patients, but such precautions were
dealt death blow inside of ten minutes
for the first smell of smoke flung the un-
tortunates into a terrible panic. They
threw themselves against the windows
and shrieked to be let out. They fought
with each other to get to the windows,
where they tugged at the iron gratings
with the strength OF despair.
When the authorities saw that the struc-
ture was doomed they decided to let the
lunatics out. The doors were flung wide
open. Out dashed the demented creatures
in their night-clothing. The moment they
reached the doors the rush from behind
was so great that the patients in the first
row were flung upon the floor The Others
rushed over them pell-mell. Gaining the
outside, there was wild scattering. The
lunatics seemed to disappear like snow
fakes in spring rain.
Owing to the hurried exit and great con-
fusion it is not known whether any lives
were lost or not. 1t is feared, however.
that at least few OF the unfortunates did
not get out in time. The exact situation
will not be known for some hours at least.
The only communication with the city was
by telephone, and that was cut off by the
flames.

circulated here tonight that Miss Susan

Lakeside, Ohio, this afternoon where she
was in attendance on the summer as

NEW YORK, n. Y, July 26.-A special
to the Press from Frankfort, KY, says:
If Grover Cleveland persists in his deter
mination to postpone the payment of the
sugar bounty to the Louisiana sugar.
planters Senator Joe Blackburn will re-
ceive financial backing, and plenty of it at
that, from another source. The writer to-
day established the fact beyond question
that the silver-mine owners of Nevada
have already contributed to Blackburn's 8
campaign fund. and that the Nevada peo-
pie have expressed the intention of fur
nshing the free-silver Senator all the aid
he requires, if Cleveland cuts off his muni-
t1ons of. war by postponing the bounty
payment.
A trustworthy man, one of the candi-
dates on the Republican ticket, was told
to-day by friend who had just returned
from Nevada that a prominent silver-mine
owner had informed him that he had sent
Blackburn $4,000 early in the campaign.
and that all the mine-owners had con-
tributed largely to the fund. The silver
mine operators can kill two birds with one
stone in helping Senator Blackburn. They
will advance the cause of free silver, and
then too have a chance to spite Cleveland
by supplying Blackburn with the monev
which Cleveland attempted to deprive him
off by Juggling with the bounty payment.
Cleveland has thrown down the gauntlet,
and the mine-owner friends of white metal
and Blackburn propose to take it up.
Blackburn will actively open his campaign
all over the State on Monday, and will talk

Sheriff Bogard Killed While Resist

ing the Train Robbers.
SACRAMENTO, CAL, July 26.-The
Oregon Express train, known on the
railroad time table as No. Is, was held up
by two masked men just after leaving
Wheatland early in the morning of March
80. That the plans of the robbers did not
meet with success throughout was due to
the pluck and nerve of John Bogard, the
Sheriff of Tehama County, who gave his
life in manly effort to thwart them.
Added to the boidness of the hold-up, the
fact that the two highwaymen rode to the
scene of the robbery on bicycles gave the
affair widespread notoriety.
The story of the hold-up, the killing of
one of the robbers and the death of Sheriff
Bogard is best told in the account given
by Engineer Bowser of No. Is immediately
after the tragedy.
"It was when we were about a half mile
this side of Wheatland," said Mr.. Bowser
"that some one punched me quite forcibly
in the ribs and turned around to see that
it was a masked man, a tall fellow armed
with two pistols, which he held uncom-
fortably close to me. Behind my fireman
/ noticed another man, shorter one, also
masked and armed similarly. said to the
tall man, Hello, what do you want?' He

business, ordered myself and the fireman
to leave the engine.

SILVER ISSUE DoDGED.
Moderation and Diplomacy the
Features of His Cam
paign.
REGARD FOR ALL FACTIONS.
Willing to Run on a Plank Full of
Flattery for the Cleveland
Regime.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. July 26.-Gor-
mans success in Maryland primaries
against great odds not only continues him
as boss of Maryland Democracy, but gives
him boom for the Presidency. There is
no doubt that German has the bee in his
bonnet. He is not as aggressive as for
merly, and is trying to conciliate President
Cleveland and the leading administration
men.
Germans programme in Maryland, as
outlined from Baltimore, is arranged with
due regard to next years Presidential
race. Moderation and diplomacy are its
leading features. The Senator will not use
his giant strength in his party like
giant, but will move with due regard to
the feelings of all factions, and, if possible,
poll the party's full vote next November.
Then, pointing to this latest triumph
achieved under his leadership his friends
will put him forward as the candidate OF
the Maryland Democracy for the party's
nomination for President.
The first point noted relates to the silver
question. The State convention next week,
it is stated. will dispose of that question by
reattirming the financial plank of the Chi
cago platform of 1892. A much more ex-
plicit deliverance could be secured. There
is no likeness between the Democratic
situation in Maryland and that in Ken
lucky.
Mr.. German has no aggressive silver fac
ton to deal with. AS leader of the Senate
Democracy he does not this year need an
aggressive deliverance on finances, As
possible leader of National Democracy next
year such deliverance might injure him.
German will ask his friends in Maryland
to postpone silver until next year. This
will afford him time to give the matter
further thought, and also enable him to
profit by any changes in public sentiment
on the subject that may occur between
now and then. The decision, viewed with
regard to his P Presidential aspirations, is
regarded as shrewd and characteristic.
Another point noted is the intention of
German to ask nothing in the way of in
dorsement for himself from the conven-
ton, but to give to the President and his
administration very cordial Endorsement.
The friends of the administration are not
in the best of temper. Mr.. Gorman's s tri-
umph is their discontinue. They need
caioling. And SO, although recently SO
warmly in conflict with the President, Mr..
German decides to bury the past and con-
jure with the Presidents name. He evil
dently argues that ticket put up on
platform full of praise of the President
and his works must receive the support of
all of the Presidents adherents.
