Washington, D. c., July 2S-Dis-
patches received at army headquarters
here to-day from General Coppinger
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 will probably reach
the place by Tuesday night. In addi-
ton other troops have been ordered to
Market Lake from Fort Russell, so 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 on the Washakie and
Duschesne reservations, the situation
is regarded as
VERY MUCH SIMPLIFIED.
General Copinger's latest dispatch
reads substantially as follows:
Major Chatfee's squadron Of cavalry
left Market Lake at p. N. Saturday
and will probably reach Marysvale
near JacksOn's HOle), on Little Grove
Tree Lake on Tuesday night. Con-
stant communication between Marys-
vale and Market Lake Will be kept up
by courier lines. Two Indians and the
chiefs of the Shoshones and Bannocks
from the Fort Hall reservation left
Market Lake Saturday morning to join
Major Chalfee.
Another dispatch from General Cop
pinger states that the road to Marys-
vale, except ten miles through Teton
Pass, is reported as good. Five COM
panies of the Eighth Infantry left Fort
Russell Saturday afternoon, to be held
at Market Lake as
A RESERVE FORCE.
The commanding officers of the Fort
Washable. Wyo.. and Fort Duschene,
Utah, report that the Indians on their
respective reservations are not involved
in the hostile movement. Agent Teter,
of the Fort Hail reservation, is en- route
with the department commander to
Marysyale. The companies of the
Eighth Infantry will reach Market
Lake Monday morning.
The statement that the Indians on tho
Washakie and Fort Duschesne reserva-
tiOns are not involved in the present
movement is regarded by the officers of
the army as very important The Sho-
shOnes are under the direction of the
agent of the former reservation and the
Utes under the agent at the latter, so
that 1t is felt here that there will
BE NO TROUBLE
experienced from them.
This condition Of affairs, it is believed
here, makes the situation much easier
to handle, for with but one tribe of
Indians to deal with the uprising can
be much more easily suppressed. There.
are now four troops of cavalry on their
way TO Marysvale and five more will be
at Market Lake tomorrow. which
makes the available force all that il is
hoped will be necessary to quell the
disturbance.
PRONOUNCES REPORTS FALSE.
Kansas City, Mo, July 2S.-L. A.
Southern, of Wardner. Idaho. is in the
city. Speaking Of the reports from
Jackson's hole, he pronounced them
false and charges that irresponsible
correspondents are responsible for
them.
THE truth of the matter is" he said
that cattle barons with ranges in Wv
oming and Idaho are determined to Sc
cure the BannOck reservation for pas
turage for their stock With this object
in view, they have Systematically and
deliberately provoked the Indians for
the past three years If they can cause
an uprising they will strive to secure
the Indians removal TO another dis
trict. Perhaps some settlers
HAVE BEEN KILLED,
but you will eventually learn that not
one murder was done by the Lemhi or
Bannock Indians 1t Is a notorious fact
among the people of Idaho and Wyom-
ing that cattle barons in the Teton Val
ley country have caused all the trouble
in that section. Their robberies are not
entirely confined TO stealing land cattle
from Indians. 1t is invariably the case
that when a white man settles i'm that
country under the Homestead law. that
in a few months the news will be sent
around that ne is a "rustler" or cattle
thief.
THE FINAL OUTCOME
will he that his neighbors, all In the en-
Dloy of large cattle owners, will ride uI%
and fill him full of lead. His claim is
again open for settlement and his small |
herd of cattle are lost in the countless
herds of the cattle of the barons. You
may think this a wild story, but it is !
the story of hundreds of murdered set |
tiers. My brother. Clarence L. South |
ern. was one of the recent victims. Hd |
was killed six weeks ago near Smith 5 |
Fork. about % miles from Fort Bridges.
I am now on my way to Crary's Mills.
