A dispatch from Pocatello, Idaho, says;
"The Indian war has broken out in eaanest.
It is known that Bannock Indians have
killed a settler, his wife and child in the
' j
Salt River Valley, and the white men pur
euingthe murderers killed six of the red
skins." Secretary Lamont, after reading the tele
gram, sent a dispatch to Brigadier-General
Coppinger, commanding the Department of
the Platte, ordering him to proceed at onoe
to the scene of the Indian troubles to ascer
tain the exact situation and to order out
such troops as were necessary to protect the
settlers.
A mail driver reported that a courier, who

Advices from Adjutant-General Stitzer to

gram from Stitzer says: "Met Indian Cap"-p5;
tain oil'oiice hurrying out with aupossioie
speed. He says ho cannot control Indians,
who will fight settlers." Governor Richards
was advised by the Interior Department
that Federal troops had been ordered to pro
tect the settlers. '.'
Among the despatches received by Com
missioner Browning; was one from Agent
TTeter at the Fort Hall (Idaho) Reservation,
which confirmed thel press reports and indi
cated the urgent necessity for the immedi
ate presence of tropps at the scene of the
trouble in Wyoming. The telegram is as
follows:
"Have investig:ted the trouble between
the Indians and the settlers in Wyoming,
and would advise that troops be sent there
immediately to protect law-abiding citizens,
the lawless element among the settlers being
determined to come into conflict with the
Indians. i "
"Settlers have killed from four to seven
Indians, which has incensed the Indians,
who have gathered to the number of between
200 and 800 near Salt River, 'in Uintah
County, and refuse to return to the reserva
tion. I find that the Bannock Indians have
killed game unlawfully, . according to the
laws of Wyoming, though not unlawfully ac
cording to the treaty between the BannoeK
Indians and the United States, and the
usurping of the prerogatives of the settlers
in that respect caused the trouble. Nothing
but the intervention of soldiers will settle the
difficulty and save lives of innocent persona
and prevent destruction of property."
Agent Teter's despatch was forwarded to
the Secretary of War. accompanied by a copy
of the following telegram from Governor
Richards, of Wyoming:
"Despatches from Adjutant-General Stit
zer, who is on the ground at Jackson's Hole,
repeated to you. Will the Federal Govern
ment take the matter in hand of returning
the Bannocks to their reservation, or wilt
Wyoming be expected to do so? Please wire
reply. W. A. Richakds. Governor."
The clause in the treaty between the Ban
nock Indians and the United States, under
which the Indians claim they were within
their rights in hunting in the Jackson's Hole
district, is as follows:
"The Indians herein named agree that they
will make said reservation their permanent
home, and they will make no permanent
settlement elsewhere ; but they shall have
their risrht to hunt on the unoccupied lands
of the United States' so long as game may be
found thereon, and so long as peace exists
among the whites and Indians on the borders
of the hunting districts."
The policy of the Indian Bureau has been
to persuade the Indians to use this hunting
privilege as sparingly as possible. The treaty
was signed July, 1863. The hunting, now
that trouble has broken out, will have to be
given up. I
Commissioner Browning said that if the
settlers would not push matters the Indians
would not proceed to hostilities, and that'
the peacefulness of the situation would not'
be disturbed pending the arrival of the
United States troops, which would end the
trouble.
The entire population of Jackson's Hole)
district gathered in Mary's Yale, a small set
tlement near the Gross Vendre River. There
are in the settlement sixty-five men, nearly
all frontiersmen, capable .of making a good'
fight. There are also, thirty-five women and
forty children. Jackson's Hole people, la
view of the fight, sent couriers and
letters to the settlement fifty miles east
of - them, at the headwaters of the
Big Wind River, and thirty miles south to
the Mormon settlements in Salt Valley, Uin
tah County, asking for aid. Settlers from '
these places left to reinforce them. It was
then estimated that ( 200 Bannocks were in
the mountains surrounding the settlement.
Fully as many Shoshones were to the east of
the settlement, but it wa3 not expected they
would take any part in the hostilities. .
