WAohiNuION, July SJ.-DlSpetcneS re-
ceived at army headquarters here yester-
day from General Coppingcr show that
the force OF cavalry ordered to Jackson's
Hole, the scene OF the Indian troubles, in
Wyoming Is making its way there, and
viii probably reach the place by tomorrow
night. In addition, other troops have been
ordered 20 Market Lake from Fort Russell,
30 as To be in readiness for active work
should their services be required. No
mention Is made Of further trouble, and,
with the known peaceable attitude of the
Indians OF Washakie aud Duschesne res
eryations, the situation Is regarded as very
much simpliaed. General Coppingcr's
latest dispatch reads substantially Us fol-
lows:
Major Chaffee's squadron OF cavalry left
Market Lake at p. m Saturday, and viii
probably reach Marysyale near Jackson's
Hole on Little Grove Free creek ON Tues
day night Constant communication between
the two points (Marysvale and Market
Lake. VIII be kept up by courier lines Two
Indians and the chiefs OF the Shoshones and
Bannocks from tho Fort Hall reservation left
Market Lake this saturday. morning 10 join
Major Chaffoe
Another dispatch from General Cop
pinger states that tho road to Marysyale,
except 10 miles through Teton Pass, is re-
ported as good. Five companies OF the
Eighth Infantry left Fort Russell Satur-
day afternoon, TO be held at Market Lake
rs reserve force.
The commanding officers Of Fort Wash
axle, Wy, and Fort Duschesne, ". T.. re-
port that the Indians, on their respective
reservations are not involved In tho hos
tile movement.
Agent Teter OF the Fort Hall reserva-
non Is en- route, with the department
commander, 90 Marysyale Tho com
panies OF the Eighth Infantry will reach
Market Lake today
The statement that the Indians of the
Washakie and Fort Duschcsne reserva-
tions are not involved In the present move
ment is regarded by the officers of the
army as very important. The Shoshones
are under the direction Of the agent OF tho
former reservation. and the Utes under
the latter so that 1t is felt here that there
will be no trouble experienced from them.
This condition Of affairs, IL is believed
here, makes the situation much easier to
handle, for with but one tribe of Indians
10 deal with, the uprising can be much
more easily suppressed. There are now
four troops of cavalry on their way 10
Marysvale, anu I've more will be at Mar.

An Opinion Worth Something.

he pronounced them false, and charges
that unreliable correspondents are respon-

% H.. a..
shat cattle barons, with ranges in wy
oming and Idaho, are determined to se-
cure the Bannock reservation for pasturago
for their cattle With this object i'm view,
they have systematically and deliberately
provoked the Indians for the past three
years.
"lf they can cause an uprising they will
strive 10 secure the Indians removal TO
another district. Perhaps some settlers
have been killed, but you will eventually
learn that not one murder was done by
the Lemhi or Bannock Indians. IL is
notorious among the people of Idaho and
Wyoming that cattle barous in the Teton
valley country have caused all the trouble
In that section.
"Thcse robberies are not entirely CON
fined to stealing land and cattle from
Indians. IL Is invariably the case that
when a white man settles in that country
under the homestead law, that in few
months the news will be sent around that
he is "A 'rustlcr' or cattle thief The final
outcome will be that his neighbors ali in
the employ of the big cattle owners, will
ride up and fill him full of lead His
claim is again opened for settlement and
his small herd of cattle are lost in the
countless herds of the cattle Of the barons.
"You may think this is wild story, but
II Is the story of hundreds of murdered
settlers. My brother C!arcnce l.. South

was killed six weeks ago near Smiths
Fork, about 20 miles from Fort Bridges.
