| Salt Lake, Utah., July 3O.-The first
reliable news of the Indian troubles at
Jackson's Hole proper which has been
received for more than week came by
messenger this evening via Griggs,
Ida. from Fort Wilson, a little place
! located in the center OF a valley in
Jackson's Hole. over 100 miles from any
railway. The dispatch is dated July
| % ana says:
IAN the people Of the valley are gath
cred at Wilson's ranch for protection.
one hundred men are under arms.
| Night before last a council of war was
held and four men We're selected TO re-
connoiter and locate the Indians. but
as yet the scouts have not returned.
The Indians must have moved away
back or left the district altogether, as
no redskins have been seen for three
or four days. A company of volunteers
came into Fort Wilson from Teton
Wednesday after travelling all night.
Exaggerated reports of the trouble led
them to believe help was badly needed
at the Hole. but on their arrival here
they were surprised to find all quiet.
A consultation was held as to the ad-
visibility of going out and fighting the
Indians. II was decided TO remain
passive for the present. The Indians
are no doubt in the mountains ard may
make descent on the settlers when
they are not looking for II, but the op!n-
ion is that II they had been on the war;
path properly, they would have at
tackled Fort Wilson before this"

Buffalo. N. Y. July 30.-The last link
In the chain of evidence that for
months the United States secret service
has been binding about Mrs. Mary II.

Saturday In Postmaster Bakers pri-

to the woman was opened and found to
contain $4,000 counterfeit stamps ex-
cellently made and done up In five orr
ginal packages.
For two moths secret service men
have searched Buffalo for the valise
and Its finding was one of the cleverest
pieces of detective work done in Buffalo
In years. With nothing except the fact
that Mrs. Mack visited the American
Express Office with grip early In the
spring to work upon the officers after

Mrs. Mack's Plan Of Operations.
1t was a few days before her arrest
in the spring that Mrs. Mack came
over from Hamilton to Buffalo and
asked at the American Express office
for certain packages addressed to Der.
She got them, and, putting them In a
bag satchel. disappeared. No one saw
her after that in Buffalo and after her
arrest the detectives discovering from
Chicago that stamps had been sent her
We're puzzled as to what she did with
them.
When Mrs. Mack was told that the
stamps had been found she tainted in
her cell and the matron had hard work
reviving her. So long as the stamps
We're undiscovered she could not be di-
rectly connected with the Chicago
counterfeiters. Now, however, her last
hope of escape has gone.

From Cuba Mr.. Carroll will go to San
