SALT LAKE. Utah, July 23.--A special
to the ETribune from Cheyenne, Wyo.,
says: The first advices of any authentic
nature from the scene of the Indian trou-
bles in the Jackson Hole region reached

kilograms sent in by courier from Marys-
vale, Wyo.. to Market Lake, Idaho, from
Adjutant General Stilser of the governor s
staff, who was sent into the region to in
vestigate the troubles between the In

tiers in the basin are uneasy. Il is re-
ported that many Indians from Fort Hall
ale leaving to join those in the noun
tains. Indians from other reservations
are reported to be joining them. Letters
and couriers have been sent out by the
Jackson Hole settlers asking for aid, and
with those who have responded they vii
go into the mountains to meet the In-l
dians tom brow. Settlers have given up
all hopes Of saving their crops, and are
preparing to take all women and children
out of the region.
Governor Richards states that no move

today to General Stilser. who Is expected
to reach Market Lake tonight, to report
as fully as possible on the situation par
tcularly as to the success being met by
the Indian police in inducing the Ban

DENVER, Col, July 23.-A special to
the News from Market Lake, Idaho. says;
Captain Teeter. Indian agent at Fort
Hail. Idaho, reservation, came in today
from the Jackson Hole country and re-
ports everything quiet and few, if any,
Indians in the country.
Captain Teeter, however, was followed
by courier from the settlers with dis
patch to Governor Richards, which tells
another story. The courier Fred White,
reports that the Indians have been Joined
by large number of Lembi and Ute
Indians and that they have every pass IN
Jackson Hole guarded. Scouts from the
settlers stockade say that the Indians are
massing in large numbers and will no
doubt offer fight.
The settlers have brough: their women
and children to Wilford, Idaho. and in
tend to 60 Indian hunting, and not wait
for the redskins to attack them. This
trouble will not interfere with travel to
the Yellowstone Park. as by the way Of
Beaver canyon there is no danger of meet
ing the Indians.
Many sensational reports have been
sent out, but there has not been any fight
ing on the part Of the Indians, and the
only ones slain were those reported in
these dispatches last week. The Indians
may yet DO persuaded to return to their
reservations without any more trouble.
