tions. They must dispense or trouble
will soon follow" This was soon
communicated to the interior depart
ment and Secretary Bliss Immediately
wired Agent Irwin, Mt Fort Hall,
to expedite his telegraphic report of
the situation. and called upon the
agents Mt Lcmhi, Umatilla and the
Western Shoshonc Duck Valley agcn-
cies for reports. Game Warden Man
ming, Of Marysvale, Wyo., near the
scene of the jackson Hole affair, part
of the old Bannock hunting grounds,
has urged proposition to disarm the
Indians in Fort Hall reservation, and
the matter has been forwarded for
consideration, through Gov. Richards
and Senator Warren, of Wyoming.
Agent Irwin has taken decided
stand against it. The agent adds that
he does not believe many of them will
venture into the hunting regions this
season, but 1t can hardly be expected
that custom enjoyed for generations,
and which they believe unjustly taken
away, can be broken up in one or two
years. The Indians as n whole, how
ever, acquicsce in the decision of the
United States supreme court, growing
out of the Jackson's Hole trouble, in
which the hunting rights of the In
dians were negatively decided. Some
Indians, however, he predicts, would
slip away unnoticcd.
Four troops of the garrison Mt Fort
Robinson. Neb., are under orders to
be in readiness to move ut once for the
Fort Hall Indian reservation country,
in case of trouble with the Indians of
that vicinity.

THE HENEY
Woodburn gets $4,000 and
Coffin $500,

The case in which the Government
went after the mortgages transferred
by Heuey to his attorneys, in pay
ment If fees for professional service,
came up yesterday before the U. s.
District Court.
The Court in following the various
windings Of the case confessed itself
puzzled TO seperate the facts from the
fiction, especially in the sale Of the
CalifaI MIA property by Coffin in 1896.
on which the property wac assigned
to eOver Collins $4,000 fee was valued
at $1,000. 1t solo in August 1896 by
auction for $3.50, the certificate of ale
was assigned to Jane Coop for 50. 466
in December and in May II sold for
$1,000. The proceed Of the sale was to
go to Coffin but the GovtIrm.ut got
wind Of the sale and attached the
proceeds. COffin sen STATS to the
Clerk On an order of the Court and
claimed hat the RESI- went for eX-
penses Of the sale.
A letter was also produced from
Coffin TO the effect that he would ac-
cept nothing less than $4,000 The
Court awarded Wootburn 50, 200 and
Coffin 5000. The case was full of
contradictions and cross fires, and the
only thing in Court which there was
no dispute, was The fact that neither
Heney or Coffin wanted the public to
know the size of Collins fee.
The Court held that that there were
many suspicious, aud unexplained
circumstances in the case, but there
was not enough evidence to show tina,
fraud was employed in the transfer OF
the mortgages and be declined to SET
them aside. The Government, however
will get the balance of the money
realized from the property and it will
it is thought, cover the $4,000 fine due
from Heney.
