July S0.-The first reliable news of the Indian troubles at Jackson's Hole proper which hus been received for more than a week came by messenger this evening via Urlggs, Ida., from Kort Wilson, a little place locnted in 'the center of a valley in Jackson's Hole, over 100 miles from any railway. The dispatch is dated July 26 and says: "AU the people of the valley are gath ered at Wilson's ranch for protection. One hundred men are under arms. Night before last a council of war was held anil four men were selected to re connoiter aud locate the Indians, but as yet the scouts tiave not returned. The Indians must have moved away back or left the district altogether, as no redskins have been seen for three or four days. A company of volunteers came Into Fort Wilson from Teton Wednesday after traveling all night. Exaggerated reports of the trouble led them to believe help was badly needed at the Hole, but on their arrival here they were surprised to find all quiet. A consultation was held as to the ad visability of going out and fighting the Indians. It was decided to remain passive for the present. The Indians are no doubt in the mountains and may make a descent on t.he settlers when they ore not looltlns; for It. but the opin ion Is that 1? they had been on the war path properly, they would have nt tack?i Fort Wilson before this."

With nothing except the fact t'hat Mrs. Mack visited the American Express office with a grip early In the spring to work upon 4'he officers after two months discovered Its hiding place and Inspector Ashe, of New York city, now has the stamps In his possession. It was found on the Terrace In the pos sesion of a well-known Huffalonlan of Ill-repute who may prove to be an Im portant member of the big counterfeit ing gang.

When Mrs. Mack was told that the stamps had been found she fainted in her cell and the matron had hard work reviving her. So long as the stamps were undiscovered she could not be di rectly connected with the Chicago counterfeiters. Now, however, her last hope of escape has gone. DOESN'T WANT 11 EK HUSBAND.

The tragedy occurred Suiulny afternoon on a small lake near Adams' home, but the details only reached here today. For a long time John Adams has sus pected that hia wife and Joseph Staf ford were lovers. Some months ago he taxed his wife with unfalthfulnt-ss, but she bitterly denied it, and Staf ford fiA'ore solemnly that he felt only a 'brotherly interest in his neighbor's wife. This satisfied Adams at the time, but he told Stafford that It would be best for all concerned If he would keep away from Mrs. Adams. After this Mrs. Adams and Stafford no lunger met openly, but continued their guilty meet ings In secret. Early last week Adams became con vinced that his wife and Stafford .were betraying him and Saturday he learned that the guilty couple had named the boat house on the lake as a trysting place for Sunday afternoon. Adams sent for his brother and determined to trap Mrs. Adams and her lover. Sun day afternoon Mrs. Adams went down to the lake and met Stafford at the boat house. The lovers were getting into a boat when they saw Adams and hla brother coming. The woman leaped from the boat and her lover rowed away. When Adams and his brother reached the boat house they sprang Into another skiff and pursued Staf ford, who was about fifty yards out on tho lake. The Admms ibrot.h.ers and Stafford were armed with Winchesters awi the duel between purejutira and pursued b? gan immediately. According to Mrs. Adams, who stood on the shore watch ling the duel, her hufcband fired the flirt shot, the bulUlt striking one of Staf ford's oars and knocking It from his hum. Mtefford returned this fllwt and the 'womuin a,w 'her husband fall over In the iboat. Then ehc says; Charlie Ad ama lay dowa behind his brother's body and continued llo fire at Stafford. Staf ford returned the fire and after many ehots had been exchanged Chuaiie Ad ami3 give a fhirifk and Ills Winchester fell Ifrom hi hands. IMt. Adams saw that her husband aid bruther-ln-lrw were dfad umd called to Evaiford to return. iFlufford rowed up to the toM't containing his vic tim, towed It to t'he shore and made It fast. Then the officers were summoned. They found Jo.huv U. A'd'a.Tn, tho fcw band, .pierced 'by muniy Ibu'lls.

AMS0 TRIED TO HOOK WARWICK Tbon Made a Personal Appeal to Gover nor Bastings, Hoping to Split the Combination Against Him-All Thcso Negotiations Fail. Philadelphia, July 30. The Press to day printed an amazing chapter of po litical history which carried consterna tion to the Quay forces and caused more talk than any other publication In a decade. It occupied nearly four columns, and In substance was that Senator Quay, after consenting to the withdrawal of Penrose as the slated candidate for mayor after a private canvass, taken a few days before the Philadelphia city convention, had showed that .Penrose could not be elect ed, without a hint of his purpose went back to Washington and delivered his famous senate siieech arraigning David Martin, thus repudiating his own ac quescence of two days before. The disclosure reviews the subse quent steps In Quay's fight to down Martin: how he called for the appoint ment of a so-culled Lexow committee to be used as a club over Martin's head; how he tried to browbeat the governor by his flirht on apportionment, which ho won only by an alliance with the Dem ocrats, and then decreed that Gllkeson should be unhorsed because he had stood by the governor and the constitu tion; nnd finally how, as a last recourse. Quay himself announced his candidacy for state chairman, hoping to utilize his nnrsonnl nodularity as a club where with to bulldoze the entire Republican administration and all its friends. The Startling Climax. The Press article concludes as fol lows: "Finally, having precipitated unnecessary and unprovoked war on every hand where there had until then been unity and peace, and set him self against all his former friends who would not agree that friendship must mean unquestioning servitude. Senator Quay undertook to set those whom he had assailed against each other by se cret deals and treaties with them indi vidually. To Intimate friends who talked with him he said: " 'I cannot win against this connblna- tton, but I can break It up and win. I will pull Warwick out of It. If I cannot get: him, I will pull Martin out of it. If I camnot get hlim, I will pull Hastings out of It. If I cannot get him, I wlJl pull 'M.igee out of St." "Pursuant to I. his design Senator Quay came to Philadelphia- and had a private ,1-itervlew with Mayor War wick. Fa'iili.ng 1'here, he sought an In terview with David iMartln oame to Phtladiflphia awd had a secret; Interview wl'h Mr. Martin a.nd made preposl tici:.? for his support whifrh were abso lutely declined. Still pursuing this de sign he went to Harrl.siburg and had a personal Interview with Governor Hast ings. The governor th?n. frankly a- eiured him thal." he had not changed his views upon apportionment, or the sup port of -State Chairman Gllkescvn. or.id that he would be a candidate for dele gate to '.ihe convention and for chair man of It solely In the Interest of State Chairman Gllkeson's re-eilection. "From Hie foregoing plain, straight forward and It.ruthful narrative of the fatts how Penrose canre to 'be beaten, the declaration that the 'Lexow' com .mitt'ee was meant merely as a club, the successful Quay alliance w.1 n the Dem ocrats In the legislature which defeated tho Republican apportionment bills, the proclaimed plan of breaking up the ele ment's wnlch Senator Quay's course had comlblned in support of the governor amd the Fucce8.ve attempts to carry out this pil.ir. by Secret deals Republi cans enn Judge for themselves the char acter of l.'his contest."

Holmes of the murder of at least seven persons. They know the name of the man who can. hang Holmes toy giving his testimony and that man is In their power. Ills name 4s Hatch, and he Is now serving a sentence of ten years In the penitentiary at Little Hock, Ark., for horse stealing. He Is as close to Holmes through all his murder plots as Janitor Quinlan, and Is ready to tell all he knows. This Includes the point ing out of the resting places of the bodies of the Williams sisters, who he himself assisted In secreting after they were murdered. He will tell how they were murdered and exactly how all their bodies were handled. He will also give full and explicit Information concerning the murder of Pletzel and his two children, and of Mrs. Julia Connors and her daughter Pearl. In short, this man Is the only other living person, aside from Quinlan, Who can tell the story of the murders In the charnel house at Sixty-third and Wal lace 8treets. Aside from Quinlan he Is the only man who can tell of Holmes' crimes In a way that will bring forth evidence of Holmes' guilt. The mention of his name by the police today made Janitor Quinlan turn pale and refuse to talk further, and a con fession from Quinlan Is almost assured. tout will come too rate, as Hatch Is to be state's witness.
