Gen. Coppinger Reports the Bannoch Indians .s Quiet and Peaceful. By Our Regular Correspoadent. Gen. Coppinger, who commanded the troops sent to Jackson's Hole on account of the reported refusal of the Bannoek Indians to obey the civil authorities of Wyoming. arrived in Washington this week. He brsught his report, which is now in the hands of the Secretary of War, and has had a long conference with Secretary Lamont, which was also attended by Indian Commissionor Browning. Gen Coppinger agrees with the U S. Distriet Attorney ai De'puty MareialI whose reports reached the Departnmnt of Justice about two weeks ago, as t-o, th origin of the trouble being s--heming white meln. He declares the Bannc'k India:.s to be ,p:t and peaceable. Gen. Coppinger thinks it would prevent any similar trotbies in the future if the entire Jaoksoa Hole country were annexed to the Yellowsltone Nationa Park, but Wyoming may not r*gard the loss of such a big slien of t erritory as a satisfacto ry ending of the matter.

It was an unwritten law of the club that while the Major was so occupied he should not be disturbed, and the only man who at any tIme dared to do so was Crichton. Crichton was a man with an inex baustible supply of dreary anecdotes. Everything reminded him of stories, which he would relate with infinite care and elaborate detail whenever he could secure an audience.

It's very close in here." Here was Crichton's oppornunity.
