MARKET LAKE , Idaho , July 30. ( Special
Telegram. ) Every man , who reaches the
troops from Jackson's Hole country brings
additional faSts regarding the strong posi
tion occupied by the Indians south of
JIarysvale. W. J. N. Adams of General
Copplnger's courier service says the Indians
could not be driven from their present
( stronghold before the snow files. Signal
fires and arrows still Illuminate the mountain
peaks every night. The cavalry was pushed
on fourteen miles further than It was thought
they would go yesterady morning , nnd It Is
hoped by tonight the divide In the TetOn
pass will be reached. The five companies of
Infantry which left here this morning stopped
at the South Fork bridge , only fourteen miles
cut.
LANDER , Wyo. , July 30. ( Special Tele
gram. ) Joe Miller of Miner's Delight has
just arrived In town and reports a body ol
200 Indians camped at Oregon Unites , eigh
teen miles from South Pass. He says they
nro all bucks , and to all appearances n wai
party. Dr. Lovejoy , his Informant , who lives
at South Pass , says he believes these Indians
menu mischief. The doctor was told by n
courier , who arrived from Dubols , that the
shrrlff's posse which left here Saturday hat !
Bone to Jnckson's Hole , Scouts will be senl
cut tonight from this place , covering various
portions of this county , with a view to getting -
ting facts nnd warning the settlers of tin
condition-of affairs. Deputy Sheriff Baldwii
arrived last night from Bad Water and re
ports having met a band of forty-seven Sioux
ono of the chiefs wearing n gorgeous wa :
bonnit. The superintendent of the Jndlai
BChnol at the Shoshone agency , who Is thor
oughly familiar with Indian wnjs , thinks till :
demonstration means nn Invasion of tin
New Fork country , where there arc plenty o
good horses nnd cattle. Others ore nlurmei
for the safety of Lewlston , South Pass , At
lantlc nnd Miner's Delight.
Rev. Sherman Coolldge , who labors amoni
the Shoshones nnd Arapahocs , arrived hen
today. Ho Is a full blooded Arapahoe In
dlan , an ordained minister of the Eplscopa
church and a highly educated and pollslie
gentleman. He slad. "The Indians are with
out a knowledge of the game laws of th
states. Everything comes to the red ma
by tradition. The fathers make treaties , an
these are handed down from generation t
generation. They are taught that the Grea
Father always granted certain privileges an
rights , which they are to hold during goa
behavior. They cannot and do not under
stand thai when Idaho and Wyoming olitere
the union of state's ' that the United State
no longer controlled the game of that conn
try. The best efforts of the Irfdlan agent fa !
short of making them understand the sub
Ject. The government will be obliged to ar
point council meetlrigs of these tribes , a
which opportunity will bo given for a fu !
discussion of the subject. Then , and nc
until then , will they understand the nc'
order of things. " Mr. Coolldge then went o
to say they could not possibly learn by nn
other method than , that which comes froi
tradition , and that ho should not bo blame
for this , as It Is his natural condition.

trouble Is anticipated hero unless the trooi
force the hostlles back and then there wl
be serious danger , as the post Is garrlsone
by only one company of the Eighth Infai

be an uprising the Indians will probably coi
centrate In and around Jackson's Hole. Th

very few passes leading In or out , besld

CAME FROM FAR TO KILL HER
'eter Volgreen Fatally Wounds a Woman
Whom Ho Calls His Wife.
LAD OF IT AND READY TO SUFFER FOR IT
SlieVIIH LUInir lion * svltli Cj riiM Mat-
Iiinil SltootliiK AViiH nt tin * Model
Steam I.amulrj State-
iiientH iif ( lie PartleM.
Shortly after noon yesterday Augusta Mat-
nnd , a starcher In the employ of the Model
Steam laundry , was shot three times by Peter
Volgreen , a former lover. One of the shots at
cast Is supposed to be fatal , nnd little hope
s given by the attending physicians that the
vonian will recove" . Volgreen was arrested
while he was standing beside the body of his
Ictlm and Is now In the city jail.
Tlio affray occurred In the oftlce of the
Model steam laundry , near the corner of
Twelfth nnd Dodge streets. Shortly after
noon Volgreen , who appeared to be somewhat
under the Influence of liquor or was laboring
inder some strong mental excitement , en
tered the ofllce and Inquired for Mrs. Mat-
land. Miss Maggie Alnscow , who was In
.he office at the time , summoned the woman ,
and a few minutes later she entered. Judg-
ng from her manner Mrs. Matland was
not pleased to see the man , but Volgreen
greeted her in an affectionate manner ,
although Miss Alnscow was , unable to tell
what he said , as he spoke the Swedish lan
guage. The two talked for several minutes ,
Hid then Miss Alnscow saw Volgreen pull a
revolver and point It at Mrs. Matland. He
did not shoot , but rcpcnteJ the gesture two
more times. Miss Alnscow called to Vol
green not to shoot nnd then ran out of the
olllce to find a policeman.
The shooting occurred a few seconds later.
3. Trccger , who lives at 119 South Tenth
street , was entering when Volgreen , standIng -
Ing directly In front of the woman , fired the
first shot. He followed It up with several
moro nnd Mrs. Matland fell to the floor.
The noise of the firing attracted the em
ployes about the place and they flocked Into
the olllce. Volgreen made no attempt to
escape , but remarked that he had killed the
woman , was glad of It and was perfectly
willing to be strung up on the nearest tele
graph pole. The police were at once notified
of the shooting.
ONE WOUND FATAL :
Meanwhile the woman was placed on a
stretcher and carried * o tne Presbyterian lies
pita ] , n distance of two blocks , and a doctor
summoned. An examination was made and I1
was ascertained that she had been shot
three times. One of the bullets entered the
right arm , midway between the elbow and tht
shoulder. Another had gone Into the rlghl
shoulder Just above the collar bone and ap.
peared to lange downward. The other , and
apparently the most serious wound , was on th
right side of the abdomen. In the right arm
at the shoulder , a bullet could be fell just be
neath the skin. The shots were fired
from a 3S-callbor revolver , which Is In pos
session of the police.
The doctor did not succeed In locating tin
bullets at once , but gave It as his opinion tlm
the woman could not live. It was feared tha
she had bled Internally from the wounds It
the shoulder and the abdomen. She remalnec
conscious , but was evidently suffering si
4nuch pain that aha could not talk. . .
From what has been learned of the'clr
cumstances Volgreen called on the womar
with the full nnd deliberate Intention of kill-
Inc her. He has admitted as much himself
but ho was so much under the Influence ol
liquor , with which he had evidently nervec' '
himself to the deed , that he was unable tc
make a statement. The cause of the com
mission of the deed from what has been sale
by Mr. Matland , her husband and Volgreen
was jealousy.
Volgreen became acquainted with tht
woman some seven or eight years ago , whei
he was employed In this city by an Ice com
pany. He fell In love with her , and , ns thi
attraction was mutual , the two lived together
but without being married. They did noi
get along well , and It Is said tha
Volgresn abused her shamefully. Flv <
years ago they left the city and went tc
Minneapolis and lived there until las
June , passing as man and wife.
A little over five years ago , whllo the ]
were living together In this city , Cyrus Mat
land became acquainted with them. He die
not sco much of the woman , but severa
years ago he removed to Minneapolis am
became better acquainted with both she am
Volgreen. He fell In love with her , and
finally , as she was being continually abuscc
by Volgreen , she consented to go iiway will
Matland and marry htm. Both Matland am
the woman say that she Informed Volgreei
that she Intended to leave him and go awn ;
with Matland. At any rate they left togethe
on June 17 and came to this city , when
Matland says they were married In July
They have been living nt 1905 Paul street.
WARNED OF HIS COMING.
Last Wednesday the woman received i
telegram from Volgreen , In which he statei
that he was coming to Omaha ; that he In
tended bringing a revolver with him and tha
"ie was going to settle with her. He arrive !
In the city on Saturday and obtained cm
ployment with the Arctic Ice company as i
helper.
Augusta Matland Is about 28 years of age
Her maiden naniB was Franzeen. She Is i
Swede. llotti she and Matland say tha
they are married. When the police ar
rived at the laundry she told them that sh
was houseko'plng for n brother. She ha
told the same thing to the laundry employe ?
Volgreen says they are not married , but ar
simply living together.
Volgreen Is n Norwegian about 35 years o
age. As sUted heretofore he admits tha
ho trld to kill the woman and says that h
Is glad of It , but when taken to the static
ho was too Intoxicated to give more than a
Incoherent account of the affair. He call
that he was very much In love with th
woman , apparently because she was the bes
housekeeper he ever saw. Ho was placed I
a cell nnd orders were given that no on
was to be allowed to see him.
Cyrus Matland appears to be fully cognlzin
of the past history of his wife.
VOIX3REEN MAKES A STATEMENT.
Volgreen so far sobered up late yesterda
afternoon as to make a statement , which wa
taken down by Captain Mostyn. In It h
admitted that he shot the woman , but h
was not so anxious to hang on a telegrap
r-olo as he was earlier In the day. Ho wa
frat willing to answer any questions that re
lated to the shooting , always evading then-
He said he did not remember anything abou
It , but thought that ho fired only one bulle
at the woman. He could not tell whether th
shooting occurred on the sidewalk or In th
office of the laundry.
In his statement , despite the fact that h
said that ho was In love with her , Volgree
did not speak highly of the character of tti
woman. She always Insisted on keeping !
boarding house , he said , and was always Ir
tlmate with some one ot the boarders. II
stated that It was. In this way that she b <
came acquainted with Matland. Ills sui
plclons were finally aroused and he tried t
Induce her to give up keeping boarderr , bi
she refused to do BO ,
Since he came to the city on Saturday Vo
green eald that he baw the woman ever
day excapl Monday. On three occasions sli
gave him money , once bO cents , another tlm
(2 , and a third time ? -0. He also said thi
lie was In wine rooms with her , and thi
once the tried to Induce him to kill Matlant
Ho stated that he bought the revoUer
month ago In Minneapolis with the Intentlo
ot coming here and killing the woman bi
cause he could not live without her ,
Volgreen denied that Matland and tl :
woman were married , He says that he an
she were married on July 1. He came (
Omaha on July 3 and discovered that Matlan
and she were IMng at 1905 Paul street. II
called there and threatened to have them ai
rested for Illegally cohabiting together. II
said that ho called again on the next da
nnd found the house locked. From this he
concludes that they were not married and
had been frightened by his threat.

PROSPECTIVE COMMISSIONERS TALK.
For days the corridors of the New York
Llfo building have been filled with parllctf
going to the rooms of George W. Covell of
Helfenstcln land fame and his paitner , At
torney General Churchill. Yesterday the In
formation was given out from these- rooms
that Land Commissioner Russell and
Churchill had agreed upon their appointees
for the rile and Police comnilbBlonors and
that the official announcement would bo
made public JtiBt after the clock tolls the
hour of 12 tonight , and that Foster for the
democrats , Droatch for the republic ins and
Vandcrvoort for the populists would shape
the destinies of the fire and police foices ot
the city.
InlTvIowed upon the subpect of appoint
ments. Colonel Foster said last night that ho
was aware that his name had been handed
In. "I have not ghen the matter much
thought , " added the colonel , "hut I have un-
deistood that I nm to ho ono of the three
appointees. As yet I have not been ofllclally
notified of my appointment , and consequently
1 could not outline the policy that will bo
pursued by the now boaid. " Mr Foster
hoped that there would be no tiouble be
tween the members of the present Hoard ot
Fire and Police Commissioners and those ap
pointed under the provisions of the
Chuichlll-IlUEscll bill. He did not know
when his appointment .would be made ,
though ho Inferred that It would bo soon.
W. J. Ilroatch , was seen nt the residence *
of Colonel A. C. Foster , where ho bald ha
had called to spend the evening In n social
way. Abkcd If he was aware that his iiamo
had been presented to Attorney General
Churchill and Land Commissioner Russell ,
und that ho had been mentioned utt a candi
date for a position on the Hoard of I'lre and
Pollco Commissioners , us contemplated by ,
the Churchill-Russell bill , Mr. Ilroatch said :
"I do not know that my name has baftn tent
In. I do not know that I would accept It
appointed. If appointed , I would li.ivo to.
give the matter some consideration before I
could decide just what I would do. In addi
tion to this , I have nothing to say. "
Last evening , when a reporter called at
the residence of Paul Vanrtervoorl , Mr. Van-
dervoorl's son stated that his father was at
the residence of Colonel A. C. Foster , where
ho had gone to spend the evening. At the
Foster residence tliu Information was given
out by Mr. Foster that Vandervoort was not
