SENSATIONAL REPORT
INDIANS ON THE wARPArH.
Said to Have Murdered sixteen Families
at Jackson's Holc.-Ltter Advioos de-
ny tho Truth of this Statement.

Pocatello, Idaho, July 27.-The report
was brought to Market Lake, sixty-flve
miles north of here, last night, that six
teen families in Jackson's Hole had
been massacred by the Indians. James
Peterson, ranchman, brought the
news, after a hard ride of over fifty
miles. Superintendent Hopkins Of the
St Anthony ditch line, told Peterson
that he got the startling information
direct from Mr.. Ross of the banking
firm of Gray, Ross & Wyatt Of st. An
thony, who started on fishing trip
last Wednesday with Thomas Hammer,
county attorney, of st. Anthony; Cen
eral Hammer, state senator Of Illinois,
and L. NJ. Earl of Salt Lake. The party
Intended to go to Jackson's lake, but
were barred out by the hostile Indians,
and they heard the report that num-
Der of white settlers had been killed.
Riley Howard, a ranchman of VIII
ford, Idaho, who arrived at Market Lake
to-day, says he heard the report at both
Rexburg, on the direct trail to Jack
sons park, and at st. Anthony, that six
teen entire families in Jackson's Hole
had been killed.
Brlgadier General Sitter sent mes
senger to the besieged district early
Thursday morning. The general says
he should be back here early Saturday
morning to give more detailed and di-
rect information. News from the scene
Of the reported massacre Is being anX-
iously awaited,

Appointed to Succeed Thomas H. W..
giant Jr.
Denver, July 29.-The office of the
Arapahoe county treasurer was closed
this morning by order of the board of
county commissioners until a successor
should be appointed to succeed T. H.
Wygant, Jr., the incumbent. Ten days
ago the commissioners and Mr.. Wy
CANT were notified of the withdrawal Of
the sureties from the bond of the treas
urer.
The amount of the bond necessary is
$5OO,OOO, and falling to secure this the
office by law became vacant This was
the last day to file the bond, and it not
being forthcoming, the office was clos
ed until afternoon, when the board ap-
pointed a successor.
At the meeting of the Commissioners.
David Hart, ex-county treasurer, was
appointed to succeed Mr.. Wygant, to
take effect at once.
There is no reflection made on Mr..
Wygant as his administration of his Of
flee and accounts are in the best of
shape. The bond required is an enor-
nous one considering the times, and
Mr.. Wygant's retirement is solely be-
cause he has been unable to obtain the
necessary sureties.

DENVER BANK FAILS.
1hs Union National Voluntarily Closes It.
Doors.

Doors.
Denver, July .29.-The Union Nation
al bank did not open its doors this morn
ing, the board of directors having de-
cided to go into a state of voluntary
liquidation, and Zeph T. Hill was ap-
pointed receiver and represents the
comptroller of currency pending the
settlement of all claims.
That all depositors will be paid in full,
without it being necessary to make an
assessment on the stockholders, is the
encouraging announcement of the clear
ing house officials. From the same
authority 1t is announced that there is
cash enough OH hand to pay a dividend
to depositors Of 25 per cent. at the end
Of thirty days.
All excitement caused by the failure
Of the bank to open for business was al
layed when 1t was announced that such
action was purely voluntary on the
part Of the directors, and that the de-
positors would all be paid in full.
The present financial institution
known as the Union National bank rep
resents the combined interests Of the
old Union bank and the State National
bank. Both of the latter banks were
forced to temporarily suspend business
during the disastrous panic of 1893, but
both weathered the storm and in the
fall of that year the two banks consoli-
dated their interests and became known
as the Union National bank.
The officials are as follows: Roger w.
Woodbury., president; John l.. McNeal,
first vice president; w. N. Byers, Sec
ond vice president; ]. B. Lazear, cash
Ter.
The last report made to the comptrol-
Ter of the currency on the 18th, show
ed the deposits to be $961 ,467; loans
$1,O5S,494; cash on hand $50 500.

GAMBLING AT Ell PASo.

Citizens Greatly Excited Over Efforts to
Suppress It.
Ell Paso, Texas, July 20.-It looks very
much as IL Ell Paso's gambling fight
will bring on serious trouble. A few
politicians and the church people are
trying to suppress gambling. A num-
Der of gamblers have been convicted
and fined in the county court and few
days ago Judge Gillis of Valverde coun-
ty issued an injunction to restrain gam
bling in this city. But 1t seems that
little attention was paid to the injunc-
ton, and a number Of gamblers were
arrested on the charge of vagrancy.
Well known citizens took the part Of
the gamblers, claiming that they were
being prosecuted and fatal encounter
between one of these citizens, a heavy
taxpayer, and the district attorney was
averted Friday night by the timely in
reference of friends. Saturday morn
ing Ben Patterson. proprietor of one of
the gambling houses. and II. B. Stew
ems, a real estate man, were prevented
from fighting on the street by the po-
lice. Stevens had filed complaint of
vagrancy against Patterson. Feeling
Is running high.

New York, July 29.-Hundreds of
thousands of dollars have been lost to
the liquor interests of New York by the
police attitude on the Sunday drink
question. That is why SO determined
an effort is being made to injure Theo-
dore Roosevelt. One of the prominent
wholesalers Of the metropolis sounded
the police commissioner and gave him
to understand that 100000 would be
paid to any man who would do away
with the "dry" Sabbath. In fact it
has been all along understood that cov-
ert bribes were offered to Roosevelt al
most Immediately after the new law
went into operation. Roosevelt's posi-
ton is one of enormous power. He
could make an immense fortune in q
few years by refusing to allow the law
to be enforced. AS it is, the liquor In
terest is frantically opposed to him. It
seems that efforts have been made to
rake up ROosevelt's past in the hope
that some discreditable episode in his
career could be used as a lever to dis
lodge him. But all such attempts have
proved futile. Roosevelt commands the
situation. Mayor Strong is in thorough
sympathy with him and will under no
circumstances allow any adverse criti.
cism. He will stand by Roosevelt as
he has stood by Waring.
