G n. Bacon Thinks the Trouble Is
Now Ended.
& General Outbreak Is Not Feared--
Complete List of Wednesday's
Fn talitiew--Origin of the
Indian Troubles.
Washington, Oct. 8.--Reports re-
eeived by the officials of the war and
interior departments from the In-
dian outbreak are of a reassuring char-
actor and they now feel that the up-
rismg may be regarded as over. Gem
Bacon. who has charge of affairs in
the department of which he is in com-
mand. will remam at Walker for the
' present and this, it is hoped, Will have
a quieting effect on the citizens of the
surroumling country who have felt
that they were in danger from the
redskins. Steps will be taken to have
an investigation made with a view to
fixing the responsibility among the In-
dians for their stand against the gov-
ernment. The fQllowing is Gen. Ba-
con's latest dispatch:
"'Walker, Minn via Bralnerd. Oct. 7.-
Arrived here at noon with my detachment
in good condition, the killed and badly
wounded having been sblpped to Fort
Snelling this morning. The Indians have
been badly whipped and left the country
adjacent to the fight. En route here other
Chippewa bands die, Played white flags
along the lake shore. Much talk here of
general Indian outbreak. Will ascertain
facts and report later. Find Col. Harbaeh
a~ this place with ~ men, Third infantry.
W|ll remain myself amd keep troops here
awaiting developments~ Regret exagger-
ated rumors published resulting from my
inability to communicate. Have been in
no danger of massacre and need no re-
enforcements."

Am Unfortunate Oeeurreaoe.
The agency Indians have been disposed
~o be peaceful up to Thursday, but
~'ednesday night one of the Indian police
was killed by the troops by mistake, and
th~ Indians are now disposed to be hos-
tile. The occurrence ~#as most unforlunate,
but It is hard to see how any blame ea~
attach to the troops. The Indian police
man, Ruslin, who Was said to ~e'one of the
best of the agency Indians, had accom~
panled the troops and had fought vallal~t-
ly but towards night he thought he had
had enough of it and started with another
Indian policeman for the agency along the
shore without notifytn~ Gem Bacon. He
was seen in the darkness bythe troops and
taken for a b~sttle. He was riddled with
bullets, l~uf his' compan~0~egnaped unin-
Jured. ~ ~' : i
[The trou'ble with t-no Bear Island In-

when two mixedU'blood deputy m~rs~al~,

preparations made to send the Duluth
companies to the front at once to pro-
tect the settlers, and was arranging
to mobilize the remaining companies
at St. Paul. He supposes that the re-
vocation is due to Gem Bacon's mes-
sage saying that the trouble was over
and that there was no more danger.
He added:

W. F. Street wires the governor
from BemidJi, west of Cass Lake:
"While I do not regard the situation here

Clough Saturday:
"H. C. Corbtn, Adjutant General, Wash-
Ington: 1~o one claims that reenforce-
meats were needed at Walker. I have not
been asked for assistance from that quar-
ter, though I do not think that Gem Bacon
has won the victory he claims. The peopl~
generally say so. The Indians claim that
they have won, and that is my opinion.
The people all along the Fosst0n branch
of the Great Northern railroad are very
much alarmed and are asking for assist-
ance 9or the protection asked of the war
department. The soldiers are here and are
willing and ready to go, but as you have
revoked your'order of yesterday, you era
do what you like with your soldiers. The
,state of Minnesota will try and get along
without any assistance from the depart-
meat in the future.
