THE Cheyenne Leaders, special from Raw
lins, Wyoming, says Douglas and some four
hundred of his band of Utes have left their
agency on White River and come to that
place in search of food, which, for some
reason, while supplied by the governmet,
yet remains in the warehouse at Rawlins.
They allege that they are forced to this
measure, as game is so scarce and their peo-
pie suffering for want of food. As yet they

once sent for, and officers White and Heffer-
man responded to the call. White entered
the shop first and seized Rande, who imme-
diately drew a revolver and shot him in the
thigh, severing the femoral artery. Heffer-
man struck at Rande with billet, and
seized his pistol arm. A struggle ensued,
during which Rande's pistol was dis
charged, wounding him in the leg. The
pawnbroker, Wright, meantime armed him.
self, and commanded Rande and his COM
panion, named Morrison, to stand still or he
would blow his brains out. Morrison
obeyed. Wright's clerk then shot Rande
from behind the counter, hitting him in the
body, which, together with several blows
on the head, applied by Heffernan with his
pistol, felled the murderer to the floor, and
he was secured. Officer White was then
found to be dangerously wounded, and was
taken to the dispensary, and thence to the
City Hospital. Both men lay in a critical

revolvers, a knife, billet, and pair OF
brass knuckles.
