ing) has received a number of anxious
inquiries from eastern friends of mem

who have been report
ed captured by Bannocks and murdered.
Gov. Richards is certain that no harm
has befallen the students. The fight
between the settlers and the Bannock
Indians occurred July in Jackson's Hole
region near the Western Wyoming line,
directly south of the Yellowstone Ma
tional Park. On July the Princeton
students were at Lander in Fremont
County, over 100 miles from the scene of
the trouble. The expedition remained at
Lander for several days and then pro-
ceeded slowly up the Big Wind River
toward the northwest in search of speci-
mems and to examine the geological for
nations west of Fort Washakie. The
country in which they were to travel
is comparatively well settled" One of
the members of the party was Talbot
Eugene Pierce, son of Perry B. Pierce,
an examiner in the Patent Ofiice, who
then resided at 1119 Seventeenth street
NV, site now occupied by Mickey's
Grill.

Thirty men left

the game laws Of Wyoming. In Hoback
Canon they surprised q camp Of II In
dians - took them all prisoners and
started with them for Jackson's Hole.
In the canon they tried to escape, and
all the Indians were killed except one
papoose, who was brought into the hole"
