NEWS FROM WASHfflEOT. THE INDIANS WERE VJCT1MS. Official Rsports Show There Was a Con piracy Against the Bannocks. The department ol Justice kM tecalved from the United States district uttarnay and marshal ot Wyoming the ofTlclnl report of their Investigation Into the llannock Indian trouhlss made by the direction ol the attorney general. The reports are dated August 23. The district-attorney for Wyoming report! at follOWS! "I have no doubt whatever that the killing of the Indian Tanegn on or about the 1:1th ot July was an atrocious, outrageous and cold blooded murder, and that it was a murder perpetrated on the rart ol the eonstable.Man nlng, and his deputies In pursuance of a scheme and conspiracy on their part to pre vent the Indians from exercising a right and fnvilege which Is, In my opinion, very clear y guaranteed to them by the treaty before mentioned. "fhould the prosecution on the part of the Vnlted Htales be determined upon, tt would be useless ,o commence it before a commiss ioner. As the law is now. we are bound to briug prisoners before the .'lilted Htntee Com mlssloner nearest to the place of arrest, and In this ense it would b before Mr. Pettlgrew, tbe commissioner at Marysvale. I am Inform ed that he Is thoroughly In sympathy with the so-called settlers In that region, and that he advised the constable, Mnnuing.and bis posse that the provisions of the trenty under which the Indians claim the right to hunt upon the unoccupied lands of the United mates had, for some reason, ceased to be operative. Hence, I think that to cause the nrr"t of these men and take them for hearing before this commissioner would simply result in their discharge. It seems to me to be a great pity that there no national law which can certainly be In voked for the protection of these, our domes tic subjects, weak and defenseless as they are, in their right to enjoy those privileges guar anteed to thorn by a solemn treaty to the en forcement ot which the honor ol the country is pledged; and that their only protection against forciable resistance to their enjoy, ment of these rights must be found In the courts of the state wherein the juries will un questionably look upon them as possessing no rights which a white man Is bound to re spect." The district-attorney has been advised that the department concurs with him in tne opinion that there is no federal statue under Which the offenders can be punished. Accompanying the report ot the dbtrlct-nt-torney Is a scathing arraignment of the Jack sons Hole settlers, made in a report ot the United mates deputy marshal who investi gated the troubles. The deputy marshal's report says that a careful investigation ol the whole affair shows that the reports made by the settlers, charging the Indians with whole sale slaughter of game for wantoness, or to secure the bides of the animals killed, has been very much exaggerated.
