LARAMIE CITY, Wyoming Ter, July =
The Sentinel of the seventh says: After
dark last night a man came into Sherman
Station from North Park, and reported that
there had been general massacre of the
white miners there by Ute Indians. The
report, as it comes to us, is that party of
Cheyennes came in there and the Utes went !
to the miners to get them to help fight the |
which they refused to do. A
fight then occurred between the Utes and |
when the latter fed. The Utes then went |
at the miners, and killed all they could find |
of them.
Our informant states he buried three |
killed, at Mr.. G ihnan's cabin, or near
it. One was named Shipman, who was sick
and in the care of Mr. Vandyke, from whom
we published a letter few days ago. We
did not learn the names Of the others. They
were very much mauled, and their heads
ing, Mr.. Vandyke has not been heard from,
though his coat and hat were found at his |
cabin.
In the present state of excitement it is T
difficult to get at the facts, but we regard it
as certain the Utes have broken out upon
us and several have been killed over at the
Park.
Ldtef.-Reports say that the North Park
massacre is undoubtedly true.
