MRS. GARDNER'S RUSE
Wrote the Letter Sent to
Her Abandoned
Husband.
SOLVING THE MYSTERY.
Evidence to Show That the
Missing Christian Endeav
orer Yet Lives.
TOLD A VERY WEIRD STORY.
An Epistle to Her Spouse Saying
His Wife Had Passed
Away."
BOSTON, Mass., Aug. I— lnteresting de
velopments just brought to light partly
solve the case of Mrs. Anna M. Gardner,
the missing Nebraska Christian Endeav
orer.
The mystery surrounding the Mrs. "M.
J. Brown" letter received by Mr. Gardner
telling him that "his wife had passed
away" is cleared up, showing that the Mrs.
Brown was none other than Mrs. Gardner.
The mysterious letter in question was post
marked South Boston, and Miss Maud
Ransom, who is employed as a clerk in a
stationery-store on Broadway, after seeing
a picture of Mrs. Gardner, furnished the
information that Mrs. Gardner was the
Mrs. Brown who sent the letter to Ne
brasKa.
Miss Ransom's story says that on the
morning of July 15 between 9 and 10
a woman dressed in mourning en
tered the store where she is em
ployed. As she approached the counter
and handed Miss Ransom a letter, the lat
ter noticed that she carried her right hand
wrapped in a black silk handkerchief as
though injured.
The letter was written in lead pencil
and the woman said she wanted to have it
in ink. "She said," explained Miss Ran
som, "that she was Mrs. Brown and that
Mrs. Gardner had died at her home. On
account of her having been hurt she had
her little son write the letter, but then
thought as the writing was had it would
look better to have it rewritten in ink."
Miss Ransom wrote the letter and signed
it according to the copy — "Mrs. M. J.
Brown."
Miss Ransom thought no more of the
matter until she saw the picture of Mrs.
Gardner. When shown the Mrs. Brown
letter, which has been returned here, Miss
Ransom identified the writing as her own,
and this fact, in addition to her recog
nition of the picture, seems to fit to a cer
tainty the authorship of the letter upon
the woman announced as dead.
CAMPAIGN OF BLACKBURN
Inaugurated in Kentucky In
Good Old Blue-Grass
Style.
They Had a Blgr Barbecue In the
Back Woods in the Sena
tor's Honor.
FRANKFORT, Ky., Aug. I.— Politics of
the style that prevailed under the rule of
the old regime of ante-bellum days pre
vailed in Franklin County yesterday, and
the inauguration of Senator Blackburn's
campaign on the stump in Franklin
County was characterized by a most event
ful day. The Taylor people arranged a big
barbecue at Peak's mill, bach: in the hills
on the river, in honor of Senator Black
burn, and arrangements were made for a
telling blow-out. The McCreary people
then resorted to strategy and prepared an
opposition barbecue for Colonel Violet, the
legislative opponent of Blackburn's candi
date, three miles further down the river.
Everybody turned out for the rival bar
becues, and business was practically sus
pended. Each faction's friends flocked to
its standard. There were orations, barbe
cued lamb and beef, moonshine whisky
and a half dozen or more free-for-alls for
spice.
Despite the feeling which prevailed, es
pecially in the Blackburn camp, the two
factions did not clash, but the Taylor lead
ers bring a story of the day's doings at the
opposition barbecue. Corn juice was in
plenty, and under the inspiration of the
fluid the Violets began to quarrel and then
fight. Six or seven hot mills were pulled
off, and one man's eye was knocked from
the socket. In spite of all this, no one is
reported as seriously injured and no guns
were drawn.
The feeling is red-hot. Senator Black
burn, true to his promise, did not denounce
Cleveland and the Kentucky '"Cuckoos,"
but referred to them only by insinuations.
His speech was in direct advocacy of the
free and unlimited coinage of silver, and
the Senator intimated that he would rather
sink or swim on that platform. The Sena
tor, however, advised the Democrats to
support the State ticket. He will speak
each day until the primary, which will be
held on Saturday.
MISSOURI AGAINST IOWA.
Suit to Be Commenced to Determine a
Boundary Line.
DES MOINES, lowa, Aug. Governor
Jackson returned to-day from his confer
ence with Governor Stone of Missouri over
the boundary dispute between the two
States. They have agreed that a suit shall
be brought by the State of Missouri against
the State of lowa in the United States Su
preme Court, demanding that the court
name a commission to locate the line
in dispute. The result will be the appoint
ment of a commission to make the survey
of the disputed section. The case will
go before the court in . October, and inside
of a year the matter will be settled.
Asks for Protection.
TOLEDO, Ohio, Aug. I.— Rev. T F.
Motuulaski, pastor of Bt. Anthony's Polish
Catholic Church here and formerly of Chi
cago and Cleveland, has asked for police
protection against an irate faction in his
parish. The trouble is identical in char
acter with the recent rumpus in St: Hed
wig's congregation, Father Motuulaski
having discharged a teacher, Stanislaus
Flawiler of Cleveland, in favor of August
Hauptmann, a German from Milwaukee.
The whole of St. Anthony's is up in arms
against Hauptmann and Father Motuu
laski's life has been threatened. Chief of
Police Raitz has promised him the desired
protection.
More Invalid Divorces.
GUTHRIE, O. T., Aug. 1.-Following on
the decision that probate Judges had no
right to grant divorces in Oklahoma since
iiLguat 13, 1893, the Supreme Court decides
that even before that time their jurisdic
tion was confined to persons who had been
residents of the Territory for two years or
more, and that all divorces granted. by
them to persons on ninety days' residence
are null and void and subsequent mar
riages bigamous.
As all outsiders coming here for divorces
took advantage of the ninety days' resi
dence clause this decision invalidates be
tween 300 and 400 divorces granted to East
ern people, , in addition to the 700 or 800
rendered invalid by the decision of last
Saturday.
EVIDENCE AGAINST HOLMES,
Importance of the Teatimony of Convict
Allen.
CHICAGO, 111., Aug. Attorney Wil
liam Capps of Fort Worth, Tex., who is
here in the interest of the heirs of the Wil
liams sisters, left to-day for Little Rock.
He goes with a letter from State's Attor
ney Kern of Cook County, authorizing
him to represent Kern in the negotiations
concerning Cladwell, alias Hatch, alias
Allen, now in the Little Rock penitentiary.
At best the Chicago authorities do not
believe Allen, alias Hatch, can give in
formation that will prove murder, and
they say his statements are contradictory,
and that the evidence of his having had
absolute knowledge of murders committed
by Holmes is decidedly weak.
Attorney Capps has convinced them,
however, that there is proof of the identity
of the prisoner hs A. E. Allen, alias A. E.
Bond, alias Mascot.
Jail Officials Indicted.
NEW YORK, N. Y„ Aug. 1.-The
Grand Jury, which has been investigating
the escape of the postoffice robbers, Allen,
Russell and Killeran, from Ludlow-street
jail on July 4, to-day handed in indict
ments against Sheriff Tamsen, ex-Warden
Raabe of Ludlow-street jail, and ex-
Keepers Schoon and Schneer. '
NEW SHIPS IN THE NAVY
Within a Week the Texas and
Maine Will Be in
Service.
Interesting Descriptions of the
Armed Monsters to Join
the Fleets.
NEW YORK, N. V., Aug. 1.-Two new
ships will be added to the navy within the
week beginning to-day. They are the
Maine and the Texas, which have been
built, the former at the Government works
in the Brooklyn Navy-yard and the latter
at Norfolk, Va. They are second-class
battle-ships of very formidable powers. In
addition to them the old Lancaster, which
has been built over and will do duty as a
gunnery-ship, will be floated about the
same time. It is the wish of Admiral
Bunce to get the new boats in the forma
tions of the North Atlantic Squadron
maneuvers, as he will be short of battle
ships without them.
The retarded completion of the Maine,
due to the delayed delivery of armor, has
resulted in making the ship a finer vessel
than was contemplated in the original de
sign, and the cause of this betterment is
the direct result of the introduction of
nickel steel and the development of the
Harvey surface-hardening process. Her
principal dimensions are: Length on load
water line, 318 feet: breadth, extreme, 57
feet; draught, mean, 21 feet 6 inches; dis
placement, normal, 6648 tons; indicated
horsepower, estimated, 9000; speed, esti
mated, 17 knots. *
The commander of the Maine will be
Captain Theodore F. Kane, with Lieuten
ant-Commander Adolph Marix as execu
tive officer. The Texas will be commanded
by Captain Mortimer L. Johnson and the
Lancaster by Captain W. B. Hoff. One of
the prettiest incidents connected with the
Maine's going into commission will be the
presentation to her of a beautiful set of
silver, consisting of a soup tureen and two
entree dishes. They are really the gift of
the ladies of the Pine Tree State, who,
after the men had given up the task of
raising the funds, got up meetings and par
ties and raised the necessary money. As
the Maine was launched as far back as 1892
the women have had plenty of time to get
the money together.
In many respects the Texas is a counter
part of the Maine, though somewhat
smaller. Her length on the load water
line is 301 feet 4 inches, her exreme breadth
64 feet 1 inch, her mean draught 22 feet 6
inches, displacement 6300 tons, maximum
indicated horsepower 8000, speed 17 knots,
coal-bunker capacity 850 tons. , Her cost is
$634,500. Her keel was laid in 1889 and she
was launched three years later. She is the
finest ship built at Norfolk since the war
and i 3 singularly suggestive of the historic
Mernmac.
The Navy Department has refused per
mission to the Japanese Government to
have one of its officers witness the man
euvers of the North Atlantic Squadron.
This request was preferred by the Japanese
Minister some days ago, and his legation
here has just received the. reply containing
the refusal. The Department authorities
state in this communication that the man
euvers will be extremely simple in charac
ter, and will be simply preliminary to
others to be held in the future.
Japan is not the only nation which is
interested in the coming naval maneuvers
of the North Atlantic squadron. Other na
tions have intimated that they would like
to have an officer witness the maneuvers,
but none has gone to the length which Ja
pan took. Besides informing the Japanese
Government of their refusal in this con
nection the reply states that they will be
glad to have a Japanese officer witness the
maneuvers of squadrons when Our navy is
more familiar with drills, exercises, etc.
Great interest is being manifested in the
maneuvers, and considerable benefit is ex-'
pected of the result. 1/7
THE BASK CAVED IN.
Residents of a Slip of Land Drowned in
the Missouri.
NEW YORK, N. V., August 2.— A Sioux
City (Iowa) special says: The residents of
Covington, a little Nebraska town across
the Missouri River, were awakened yester-
day by a deafening noise and a shock that
jarred all of the houses near the river
bank.
Rushing out the people found that a
number of houses and a strip of land along
the river bank, several acres in extent, had
crumbled into the water. The occupants
of the dwellings were struggling in the
current. Boats were launched and every
effort was made to rescue the people. A
few of them were dragged out, but at least
ten people were drowned, among them
several little children: All day the caving
of the bank had continued and the occu
pants of the houses had warning in time
to escape.
It is supposed that the collapse was due
to a deflection of the current caused by
Government improvements.

WORK OF THE FLOOD
Eight Persons Perished
in the City of
Socorro.
FIFTY BUILDINGS LOST.
One Hundred Other Structures
Also Received Serious
Damages.
ADDITIONAL STORMS REPORTED.
In Colorado Bridges Were Swept
Away and Railroad Trains
Retarded. ,-
SOCORRO, N. M.. Aug. 1.-The excite
ment attendant upon the flood is over.
The list of dead is eight, six of whom are
the Duran family and the other two are
children that were rescued from the flood
and died yesterday.
The damage to the city is fifty buildings
washed away and contents destroyed ;
about one hundred buildings more or less
damaged and a large portion of the con
tents damaged and destroyed.
With these losses must be added the
total destruction of gardens and vineyards
and these losses fall upon the poorest
people. *
The Magdalena branch of the Santa Fe
is washed away for about five miles, and
their loss will run into the thousands.
The water washed away the main track
just below the depot yards and covered
the track in the yards about four inches
deep.
The lower part of Manzares avenue is a
total wreck, bridges and sidewalks being
washed away.
The water covered the whole valley from
the vicinity of the Windsor Hotel to the
depot and for several miles above and be
low the city. The arroya that did the
damage comes into the city at the south
west corner of the mountains on the road
to Magdalena. ,
Just as it strikes the city it divides into
two channels, one going down Spring
street to the river bottom and the other to
the west, emptying to the city and swing
ing around to the east of the city, mingling
its waters with the one coming down
Spring street. The flood came in two big
waves, one filling the arroyo over bankfull
and the other pouring out over every street
in the city.
Had this storm come at night hundreds
would have perished.
DENVER, Colo., Aug. I.— Another ter
rible rainstorm swept this region this
evening and all railroads continue to suffer
great losses. An iron bridge over Hard
Urabble Creek on the Denver and Rio
Grande Railroad, twenty miles west of
Pueblo, was swept away about the time
the Atlantic express was due at that point.
Trains will be delayed for.twelve hours.
The Arkansas River has swollen to a
raging torrent this evening, and all travel
on roads crossing it has been stopped. The
Florence and Cripple Creek road has not
been able ,to run trains for several days,
and wires are down all along the line. In
the city the storm again flooded every
thing. Cloudbursts at Morrison and Salida
threatened much property.

For Killing Her Husband.
ASHLAND, Wis., Aug. Mary Thrush
was last night sentenced to State prison
for life for murdering her husband last
spring. Ninety-four days ago Thrush was
assaulted with an ax and injuries inflicted
from which he died two days later. Mrs.
Thrush was suspected of complicity in the
crime and was arrested by order of the
Coroner, as was Casper Emmet, an alleged
paramour.
At the trial the court ordered Emmet
discharged for lack of evidence, but Tues
day the jury returned a verdict of guilty
against Mrs. Thrush, and to-day she was
sentenced to life imprisonment.
Strike of the Tailors.
NEW YORK, N. V. , Aug. 1.-The tailors'
strike may become National in a day or
two, and the clothing trade in*; Chicago,
Rochester, Philadelphia, Boston, Balti

may be tied up as tightly as is New York.
The general executive board of the
United Garment-workers will meet to-day
to consider this issue. At the rate the
contractors of this city are yielding now
the strike will be ended in about ten days,
but it seems likely that there will be a
stampede before that time.

MORTON ANSWERS LUBIN.
Stamps Aa Impracticable the Plan for an
Export Bounty,
WASHINGTON, D. C, Aug. I.—Secre
tary Morton of the Agricultural Depart
ment stamps as impracticable the propo
sition advanced by 7 David Lubin of
California and other gentlemen, to pay an
export bounty on American . farm prod
ucts shipped to foreign countries and a
subsidy to American vessels plying in the
foreign trade. . . _- '
"If it pays to raise agricultural prod
ucts," said the Secretary yesterday, "a
bounty is not needed. If it does not pay
to raise agricultural products, a bounty
will be of no benefit unless the amount is
excessive. Let us see." continued the
Secretary, turning to his last annual re
port, "what the total of our foreign ship
ments for the fiscal year 1894 were.
"The figures showed the total shipments
abroad during that period to be worth
$869,204,937. Of this amount $028,363,038
represented farm products alone.
"That is to say, the shipment of Ameri
can farm products abroad was equal to
73 per cent of our entire foreign exporta
tions. In other words, if Mr. Lubin's
proposition be adopted it would follow
that the Americans who sent the other 27
per cent of their products abroad would be
called upon to contribute very largely
from their earnings to the profits of those
who sent 73 per cent. The plan is unfair
on its face and there is no probability that
it will ever be adopted, no matter how
much these gentlemen resolve.
"Moreover," said Secretary Morton, "an
export bounty would be unconstitutional.
Section 9, paragraph 5, of the constitution
specifically provides that .'no taxes or duty
shall be laid on articles exported from any
State.'. I should think that would dispose
of the matter aside from any other con
sideration." 77 1 " -V '■ ' : .- /*7 ; ;
OMAHA'S VERY MILD 'RIOTS
Commissioners, the Governor
and Mayor Tried to Cause
Trouble.
_.
Good Citizens Indignant Over a
Ridiculous Proclamation for
Peace. -7,
OMAHA, Nebb., Aug. I.— The great ma
jority of the people of this city are much
amused and also indignant at the highly
inflammatory accounts . sent to the Asso
ciated Press papers about fears of a riot in
Omaha. It is true that the Governor and
the Mayor and the majority of the Board
of Fire and Police Commissioners are doing
all they can to promote and bring about a
riot at the hands of righteously indignant
people, but the latter are holding their
tempers admirably and are simply awaiting
the slow process of the courts, which they
are sure will calm all rebellious and sedi
tious attempts to override the law.
Mayor Bemis at noon issued an hysteri
cal proclamation against rioting, which
caused the greatest indignation on the
streets of absolute non-nenecessity of such
a proclamation. At noon Attorney-Gen
eral Churchill and Public Land Commis
sioner Russell called on Governor Hol
combe at the legislative office in Lincoln,
and asked him to meet with them in choos
ing the new Board of Fire and Police Com
missioners for Omaha. He refused, on the
ground that thirty days were permitted in
which to make this choice, and Russell
and Churchill will meet to-morrow and
make appointments. ,7 *
The leaders of the A. P. A. here say they
are not involved in this controversy at all,
and they indignantly deny all reports of
an A. P. A. army. They declare, however,
that the acts of the Governor and Mayor
will increase their strength greatly this
fall. The two minority members of the
old board have gone out of office, and say
they are obeying the law/ The others are
barricading the office in the City Hall
and increasing the guard, much to the
disgust and amusement of the people. No
trouble at all is feared.
RELIEF FOR NEGRO COLONISTS.
Suffering Among the Black Settlers in
Mexico.
MONTGOMERY. Ala., Aug. I.— Last
night George W. Ely of this city left for
Mexico. He goes as agent for the South
ern Pacific Railroad Company to relieve
the distressing situation of the 614 Georgia
and Alabama negroes camped along the
Mexican Central railroad and return them
to Texas. The negroes were carried to
Mexico nearly a year ago by the Mexican
Colonization Company.
The company obtained a concession of
twenty-eight square miles of fertile lands
at Tiahulalo, State of Durango. At first
the company endeavored to settle the lands
with Mexicans, but it was unsuccessful.
A contract was then made for several hun
dred negro families. The negroes were to
receive half the product of the land and
each family was to be given five acres. The
negroes were allowed 'two years to pay for
transportation.
1 They did not prosper in Mexico, the
Mexicans wanting to make serfs of them,
and the tales of their sufferings have been
aired through the press.
NO FEARS FOR THE SUNBEAM.
Rumor of the Yacht's Loss Has no Foun
dation,
CHICAGO, 111., Aug. I.— Commodore
English of Halifax, Nova Scotia, who ar
rived here to-day on the yacht Beatrice
from Milwaukee, expressed no fear as to
the loss of his yacht Sunbeam, which left
Sturgeon Bay for -Chicago last Monday
morning. She is not overdue, and there
has been no weather she could not have
withstood. It is said the Sunbeam will be
in port to-morrow.
The captain of the schooner yacht Haw
thore sighted a sloop-rigged yacht six
miles oft Two Rivers last Tuesday morn
ing, which he thinks was the Sunbeam.
She was standing well out and making
splendid time.
REFUSE TO BE OUSTED.
Omaha Police Commissioners Fight to
\ Retain Their Offices.
OMAHA, Nebb., Aug. I.— A majority of
the Fire and Police Commissioners of
Omaha | made an open statement to-night
in which they declare. that they will hold
onto, office until the legality of the new
law is tested in the Supreme Court. The
new law goes into effect on Thursday, and
at that time there will be two boards of fire
and police— that recognized by the old law
and that recognized by the new law. This
means a conflict of authority and certain
trouble. ~ The Governor, it is said, will not
meet with the other members of the board

FOUGHT FOR FREEDOM
Boy Outlaws Turned
on the Posse of
Officers.
MADE A GAME BATTLE.
Three Hundred Bullets From
Winchesters Failed to
Check Them. .
ONLY THE HORSES WOUNDED.
The Two Young Murderers Deter
mined to Fight the Pursuers
to the Death.
SALT LAKE, Utah, Aug. I.— The boy
outlaws, Coughlin and George, held the
Salt Lake police force at bay this morning
and escaped. A terrific' battle of bullets
took place in City Creek Canyon, just
seven miles from the temple, but the
horses only were wounded by the shots,
although some 300 bullets from Spring
field rifles were poured on the boys in
ambush.
As exclusively announced by wire to
The Call last night the police patrol went
out on the Ogden road at midnight. At
4 a. m. the wagon was met by a cavalcade
of produce wagons. B ehind one of these
the police recognized the two murderers,
who are well known in the rogues' gallery.
They gave chase, but the boys being on
horseback took to the hills and escaped,
crossing over to City Creek. The police
secured horses and followed. The wagon
came back to Salt Lake and took another
party up through the main entrance to
the canyon.
. Seven miles up this force met the others
and at 8:30 A. m. the outlaws appeared,
who started the fight by firing at an officer
and getting under cover. The officers re
turned the fire and shot the horses, but the
men escaped in the underbrush. The men
were followed and a steady fire kept up,
the officers being re-enforced all day.
The Call correspondent drove to the
scene of the battle at 6 p. m. with two offi
cers. Provisions were carried to the force,
which was scattered all over the hills, two
miles to the east. The shots could be
heard plainly, the two boys slowly moving
toward Dry Canyon, which comes down
toward the home of George in this city.
At this writing the Sheriff has sent out
two posses to Dry Canyon and the police
have changed their base to the same place.
The two fugitives are tired out, and being
on foot and surrounded by such a deter
mined crowd it is sure that they will be
taken, but those who know say that they
will never be taken alive.

necessary.
IN THE WAN VALLEY.
All the Settlers Congregated in a Stockade
for Protection.
MARKET LAKE, Idaho, Aug. I.— The
news was received from Idaho Falls,
twenty miles south of here, late last night,
that all the settlers in Swan Valley, about
sixty miles southeast of Market Lake, had ,
congregated in a stockade for protection.
Roving bands of Indians are creating
much excitement all through the country
east of this point, and in order to learn
whether the frequent ' calls from settlers
for more troops would warrant the recom*'
mendation for another call, Lieutenant
Ladd of ' the Ninth Cavalry, who is
stationed here, dispatched two couriers
this morning with instructions to secure
the exact facts. < They may get back to
night by riding over 100 miles. Isolated
sheepherders have been scared from their
ranches at many points in the valleys on
the west slope of the mountains. Lieu
tenant Ladd received the following tele
gram to-day : '■'„'

Caribou. All the ranches in the Upper Starr
Valley are deserted, and the people are gather

the Grays Lake country have left their homes

ARREST OF THE INDIANS.
Story of the Killing of Illegal Hunters
Told by a Constable.
JACKSONS HOLE, Wyo., July 31 (by
courier to Market Lake, Idaho, Aug. I).—
Constable Manning : came in to-day from
the mountains. His story is the first ac
curate one of the arrest and killing of the
Indians and the cause of the trouble. He
says: 7 :.■- .
"On June 7, information having been re
ceived that Indians were killing ' game in
violation of the statutes of .the State of
Wyoming, chapter xcviii, section 14, read
ing as follows : 'It shall b a . unlawful to
pursue, hurt or kill any deer, elk, moose,
mountain sheep, mountain goat or ante
lope at any time except during the months
of September, October and November each
year, during which months the males only
of the animals may be killed or hunted
under the conditions and restrictions im
posed' by this section. And, further, pro
viding non-residents of the State must
procure a license before being permitted to
bunt.' .'.'
"A warrant was issued for the arrest of
the Shoshone and '-Bannock" Indians un
identified as to names. Constable William
Manning, with twelve deputies, went into
the mountains to serve the warrants. He
found one" lndian', named >; George, on the
divide, close to the headwaters of Gros
Ventre. The Indian had evidently at
tempted to * conceal his camp. . He was
brought into court, tried and found guilty
of violating the statues referred to and was
fined : $15. In his, possession thir^* raw
green hides were found. The fine was paid
by John Cams, a squaw manliving in
Jacksons Hole, and the hides confiscated.
"On June 24 a second information was
filed and a warrant of a similar charac
ter and covering substantially the same
facts, as the first was issued. Constable
Manning, with two deputies, proceeded to
Fall River Basin, Wyoming, to make
arrests. At the head of Cache Creek and
Granite Creek trail, on the top of the
divide, the officers heard shooting and
located Indians hunting, one being en
gaged in skinning an elk.
"There were seven in the party, and on
the officers' approach the Indians got to
gether and leveled their guns at the men.
They then asked their business and being
told, signalled for one man to come to
them to parley. The warrant was read to
them, they all talking English. On the
conclusion < of its reading they declared
that they would hunt as much as they
pleased. They said there was little law in
Jacksons Hole, and that little they defied.
They further said they would fight before
they would submit to arrest. They were
told the soldiers would be sent for, and
they expressed defiance for them and
asserted that they would kill everybody in
Jacksons Hole if interference with their
hunting did not cease. Being too many
in numbers for the white men, no further
attempts were made to arrest them.
"After this talk was over," said Man
ning, "we watched the Indians and ob
served that they took nothing from the
elks' carcasses but the hides and brains,
leaving the rest to rot. There were partly
removed hides and about five carcasses
where they were skinning the game. Tbe
next day these same Indians, together
with about twenty-five others, were seen
in camp at Fall River Basin, there being
eleven lodges. I went through the camp
and estimated that the band had about
350 fresh hides. The Indians laughed at
me and made similar threats to those ut
tered the day before. While my men were
there another Indian came and gave the
information that the officers were the same
who had arrested George. The band sent
over to a neighboring camp to get Indians
who were acquainted with the George in
cident to come and identify the officers.
We then left. Later we met an Indian
family with about fifteen hides and less
than forty pounds of meat.
"Expecting to be followed by the others,
we did not attempt to arrest this family,
but told the buck of the law and advised
him to return to the agency, which he
agreed to do. The next tray our party of
constables found unmistakable signs that
the original band of Indians bad lain in
wait for us, for what purpose, of course,
can only be imagined.
The next information for illegal hunting
was filed July 2, and a warrant was issued.
Constable Manning with thirty-six dep
ties went to Gros Ventre River to serve it.
"We found," said Manning, takineup
the story, "five lodges of Indians at the
mouth of Rock Creek. The camp was sur
prised at 9 o'clock in the morning and the,
Indians were arrested. On the approach
of the officers, however,* the squaws at
tempted to conceal several fresh hides,
while the bucks seized their guns.
"Forty or fifty fresh elk hides were taken
with the Indians. They were brought into
court, and six pleaded guilty, and were
fined $75 and ' costs, the gross fine being
about $1400. Two, being blind, were dis
charged. While we were bringing in the
prisoners, we found we were followed by a
rescuing party, but we eluded it. ..' How
ever, the Indians escaped in the night, the
sentinel falling asleep. *' '":.".' '■ -
"A day or so after this trial John Carnes
and a prospector named Schell, coming in,
said that there were between 200 and 300
Indians in the Fall River basin, and that
they had declared their intention of mak
ing trouble for the people of Jacksons
Hole. Mr. Carnes predicted trouble, and
four or five. days later he moved his family
entirely out of Jacksons Hole and into the
State of Idaho. He said he had farther
grounds for believing the Bannocks would
give trouble, from the fact he had received
a letter from an Indian at the Fort Hall
Reservation, saying that the Bannocks
were going to cause trouble in this vicinity
this summer.
"An information was filed July 10 and a
warrant issued charging unidentified
Indians with illegally killing game. With
twenty deputies I proceeded to Fall River
basin, and there surprised a camp and
arrested ten Indians. One Indian got
away, leaving nine bucks in our hands.
We traveled about fifteen miles, being
headed for Jacksons Hole. When we got
ready to pack up after dinner, we noticed
that the bucks left off every superfluous
article they had been carrying. The squaws
loaded themselves with these effects; two
of them who had papooses on boards at
■ their backs took the babies from the boards
and strapped them to their laps in front of
them on their horses.- While this was
being done I went to my deputies and
warned them that the Indians intended to
| try to break away. 7' l- '
"The bucks had been disarmed, and I
was satisfied that they had no weapons
whatever on their persons. There were
fifteen guards with the Indians, and as a
precautionary measure I placed a guard in
the single tile column.
"In spite of the fact of the unarmed In
dians the men were not instructed not to
shoot them. It was understood they were
to shoot at them to keep them from escap
ing, and so when all at once they darted
off the men shot at them and killed six."
This is the story. Afterward came the
Indian rumors and preparations for war,
but there was nothing really hostile.
