Buffalo, Wyo., April 14. Amos W. Barber, Governor: The sheriff made a demand this morning upon Colonel Van Horn for prisoners. He will hold them until his orders are received from the President. If prisoners should be placed in county jail at Buffalo, I fear it would not be entirely safe for the peace of the town just at present. C. H. PARMALEE, Captain and Aide-de-Camp. To this the governor replied: Cheyenne, Wyo., April 15. W. G. Angus, Sheriff of Johnson County, Buffalo, Wyo.: Answering your telegram of yesterday, the military authorities will at the proper time be requested to deliver to the civil authorities the men now held at Fort McKinney. They will not be delivered until order and quietude in Johnson County are so fully restored as to convince me that no further violence will be offered them and that the civil authorities of that county are entirely willing and able to give them the protection which the law requires to be given to all prisoners. An immediate request for their delivery will not be made. AMOS W. BARBER, Acting Governor. Meanwhile, to make doubly sure the retention of the men by Colonel Van Horn, the following dispatches were forwarded: Cheyenne, Wyo., April 15, 1892. Colonel Van Horn, Commander, Fort McKinney, Wyo.: I request that you obtain the custody of and take to Fort McKinney and there give protection to the men belonging to the invading party who were arrested before the surrender, and who are now confined in the county jail at Buffalo. This is done in order that all the men belonging to the invading party may be certainly protected from any violence due to the present excitement in that vicinity. I made a similar request upon General Brooke, and have directed Sheriff Angus to deliver the men to you. AMOS W. BARBER, Acting Governor. Cheyenne, Wyo., April 15, 1892. General John R. Brooke, Commander Department of the Platte, Omaha, Neb.: I have directed Sheriff Angus to deliver the men belonging to the invading party, who are now in jail, to commanding officer at Fort McKinney. AMOS W. BARBER, Acting Governor. Cheyenne, Wyo., April 15, 1892. W. G. Angus, Sheriff of Johnson County, Buffalo, Wyo.:
