The United States District Attorney and a Deputy Marshal Report the Result of Their Investigation Into the Matter to the Attorney Gen eral — No Justice for I’oor Lo. Washington”, Sept. 2.—The depart* ment of justice has recieved from the United States attorney and marshal of Wyoming- the official reports of their investigation into the Bannock Indian troubles made by direction of the at torney general. The district attorney says: “I have no doubt whatever that the killing of the Indian Tanega on or about the 13th of duly was anautrociousandcold blooded murder, and it was a murder porpetra'ted on the part of the con stable, Manning, and his deputies in pursuance of a scheme and conspiracy to prevent tne Indians from exercising a right and privilege which is. in ihy opinion, very clearly guaranteed to them by the treaty before mentioned. Should prosecution on the part of the United States be determined upon it would be useless to commence it be fore a commissioner. As “the law is now, we are bound to bring prisoners before the United States commissioner nearest to the place of arrest, and in this case it would be before Mr. Pet tigrew, the commissioner at Marys vale. 1 am informed that he is thor oughly in sympathy with the so-called settlers in that region and that he ad ” vised the constable, Manning, and his posse, that the provisions of the treaty under which the Indians claimed the right to hunt upon the unoccupied lands of the United .States had, for;, some reason, ceased to be operative, lienee, 1 think to cause the arrest of these men and take them for hearing before this commissioner would simply result in their discharge. The United States deputy marshal who investigated the trouble s ays that after a careful investigation of the whole affair he finds that the reports made by settlers charging the Indians with wholesale slaughter of game for wantonness, or to secure the hides, have been very much exaggerated. “During my stay in Jackson’s Hole,” he continued, “I visited many portions of the district and saw no evidences of such slaughter. Lieutenants Gard ner, Parker and Jackson of the Ninth United states cavalry, who conducted scouting parties of troops through al*. portion’s of Jackson's Hole, also found this to be the case. On August 11 I visited a camp of Bannock Indians who had been on a hunt in Jackson’s Hole. The women of the party were prepar ing the meat of seven or eight elk for winter use, and every part of the ani mal, even to the brains, entrails and sinews was being utilized either for future food supply or possible source of profit. “In connection with the trouble be tween the Indians and the whites, I ■pent some time inquiring into the causes for the unconcealed hostility of the Jackson’s Bole people against the Indians. There was little or no com plaint among the settlers of offensive manners on the part of the Indians. E xcept in rare instances, they have kept away from the houses of the set tlers and have not been in the habit of t begging. In no instance has there ever been a well authenticated case i where a settler has been molested by an Indian. The killing of game by [ Indians and by the increasing number of tourist hunters threatens to so de plete the region of big game, deer, ; eus, mouse. eic., as 10 jeopardize | the occupation of the professonal : guides at Jackson’s Hole. It was decided at the close of last reason to V eep the Indians out of the region this year, and the events of this summer are the results of carefully prepared plans. This was admitted by United States Commissioner l'ettigrew of Marysvale and Constable Manning said: ‘We knew very well when we started in on this thing that we would bring matters to a head. Some one was going to be killed,perhaps some on both sides, and we decided the sooner it was done tire better, so that we could get the matter before the courts.’ If a full investigation of the trouble should be held, the fact would be es tablished that when Constable Mann ing and his po se of tweuty-six settlers arrested a party of Indians on July 13 and started with them for Marysvale, he and his men did all they could to tempt the Indians to try to escape in order that there might be a basis of justification for killing some of them.” % Trouble Exported in Oregon. Bi-rxks, Ore., Sept. 2.—The Indians at Warm Springs and Umatilla reserv ations come to this country annually to kill deer for their skins. The county judge wrote to the agencies asking that they be kept out, but with out effect,and now the people threaten to drive out the Indians, fifty of whom have already arrived. Should they persist in going to Stein mountains, there is likely to be trouble. A Boy Kina Almost Drowned.

Bradley and Gen eral P. W. Hardin, at Eminence, yes terday, was called off on. account of tlie noisy demonstration of the crowd. Colonel Bradley was to have opened ami closed the debate.- When he at tempted to begin the noise and dis turbance of the crowd was so great that he was compelled to sit down. IV. 1’. Thorne, the Democratic Chair* man, arose and appealed to them for order, but the crowd paid no attention to him. Colonel Bradley attempted again and again to speak, six times in all. but failed to get a hearing. See ing that any attempt to speak was in vain, he gave it up. saying that the noise was more than lie could stand, and refusing- most positively to proceed farther. The colonel said: “I wish I had my voice a minute, so I could tell this crowd what utter contempt I hold them io.” Then folding up his maHTf script he left the stand. The action of the auhietoee is condemned by the chairman of the Democratic committed! us well as the Kcpublieans, who were* present, and they declare it is an ouV | -age and disgrace to Henry county. ! --- ;f DISASTROUS WRECK.
