has devoted an unusual amount Of time to
the DEVELOPMENT of her talent in this d.

real excellence seldom seen in q beginner
Her forte Is the presentation Of comedy
characters, for which her voice and man
ner are particularly fitted. and last night
in the roles Of Widow Bedott" and "Sa-
mantha Allen" In costume, she showed
rare degree of adaptability. Her other
selections were Juvenile monologues, in

such a high-class artist as Miss Bertha

INDIAN TROUBLE FEARED.

Evanston News-Register: The set
tiers in the upper country are much
aroused over the fact that a number of
letters have been sent their people
which have come from the vicinity of
the Fort Hall reservation. The pur-
port of these letters are that there is
an organized plan on the part of the
Bannocks to do away with SOM of
these settlers who have, in a measure,
been instrumental In the arrest of GER
tain Indians who were killing game
throughout the country for their hides,
and who at the same time were off
their reservation without the required
pass. Some arrests were made and the
Indians taken to Lander for trial.
The Indians were much incensed
over this action of the whites, and are
said to have made threats against the
settlers which they claim they will
carry out this summer. The settlers
are apprehensive of coming trouble,
and will. in all probability, place their
families in a place Of safety before they
make preparations for their own pro-
lection. We trust nothing will come Of

THE SERVICE OF O N
Prof. Georges Great Success at the
Methodist Church.

The Methodist church was filed to
overlooking last evening and many
were turned away, not being able to
obtain standing ON. Before 1870,
Rev. Taylor stepped to the front of tie
rostrum and, seeing 40 or so people
standing, in a vein of humor said:
"All will please be seated" But he
was %excusable. 1t was only an out
burst of pride at another of his great
successes.
The service of song, led by Prof.
George, was a great success and the
entire congregation entered into the
spirit of the occasion with an enthusi-
asm which WAS remarkable. The lee
ture on the hoiy land was entertaining
and instructive to many, but as the
professor said, there is very little new
to be said about the holy land. 1t is a
subject that has been written about
and lectured upon for ages. and even a
Mcintyre o a Talmage are at a loss to
find something new to present to the
people.

SE!ERIDAN'S FISH HATCHERY

Sheridan journal: Our Sheridan
fish hatchery it is evident will assume
a place of much importance in the
propagation of fish for our state. Its
location gives it many advantages and
the facilities are to be so improved and
increased that it will be able to supply
an abundance of fish with which to
stock the many streams Astounding in
the northern counties of the state.
Major Schnitger, our state fish COM
missioner, realizing the Importance of
the Sheridan hatchery and yielding to
the earnest solicitations Of our citi-
zens who are alike interested in its
success has decided to let his worthy
and competent assistant s. E, Land
have personal supervision of this
hatchery and he will arrive next month
to enter upon his duties. The an
nouncement will be very gratifying to
Mr.. Lands many friends in Sheridan.
as they recognize his ability and fit
ness for the position and his personal
interest in and natural love for the
work in hand. The summer season
will be devoted to the propagation of
trout, eastern varieties, and the winter
season to our native varieties. It will
thus be seen that our Sheridan fish
hatchery is destined to rank among
our most important state institutions.

THAT INDIAN KILLING.
Further Details of the Fremont
County Affair.
ACCIDENT AT HOPKINS.
Ky Which q Lady IL ShOt-Other In,
tcrestinG Stnte News Gathered
From The Republican,
bright Exchanges.

The Fremont County Gazette gives
the following interesting details of the
shooting on the Muddy last week:
Word was received in Lander Mon
day that a serious shooting ARRAY took
place on Muddy creek between Wind
river and Owl mountains last Friday
morning between William Lamoreux.
Call O'Neil, w. II. Roberts and B.. F.
O'Dell, and Dick Washable. son of old
Chief Washable of the Shoshone In
dians, and a h~alf-breed named Here
ford. in which Dick Washable was
probably fatally wounded.
1t seems the first named party had
been to the Indian dance in progress
last week, and had induced Dick
Washakie's squaw to go with them to
Montana. They had proceeded on their
way as far as Muddy when they were
overtaken ny Dick and HEREFORD, the
latter going along merely as interpre-
ter. Our informant says that when
Washable came in sight of the other
party some of the pursued opened fire
on'him. and that he Immediately start
ed on the back track as fast as his
horse could carry him, but that he re-
ceived one ball in the right shoulder
and another in the ileshy part of his
right leg. The ball in the shoulder
entered from behind. coming out just
over the right nipple. 1t is not known
positively who did the shooting. Dick
rode over a hill and into a gulch and
then fell from his horse. where he lay
until HEREFORD went on to Kinnear's for
help. to which place he was afterward
conveyed and DR.. Welty summoned.
Captain Wilson, the Indian agent, at
once dispatched the Indian police after
the party doing the shooting, but up to
this time no word has been received
of their capture. 1t is thought that IL
the Indians overtake them a seri-
GUS fight will occur. The civil authori-
ties have been notified to keep an eye
open for them and to arrest the four
men.
Later-A special dispatch to the
Denver Republican from Lander y
A dispatch from the Shoshone
agency reports hat Jim Washable,
who was shot by the half-breed, Will
LamoreauX, is in a dying condition.
Should young Washable die the In
dams will avenge him by making war
on a number of Sioux half-breeds who
are on the reservation. The Sioux and
S~hoshones had. many battles from 'G7
to 70 and traditions say that the Sho-
shones consider themselves to have
been badly treated by the Sioux war;
riors and they have never had an op-
portunity since to get their revenge.
Captain Wilson, the acting Indian
agent, fears that the old feuds between
the two tribes will be renewed. should
young Washable die, as he is likely to.
