HONEST INJUN.
JACK. THREE DAYS, TALK
he BIinds the Commission Up TO tho
Last Moment, and Then Pleads
Isnorance-Ouray's
Council.

Denver, Nov. GA special to the
Denver Tribune indicates that the work
of the commission investigating the
outrages is drawing to a close. Jack
was on the stand Tuesday, Wednesday
and Thursday, and told story which
filled twenty-nine foolscap pages of Ste
nographer's notes, principally concern
ing events previous to the massacre and
the Thornburgh fight, in which latter
version he agreed with Colorow that it
was all an accident. The commission
was much pleased with the conduct of
Jack at first, as he seemed to tell an
honest story, and it was believed that
he would not hesitate to tell all about
the massacre. Care was taken to select
propitious time for the questions which
were to elicit this much desired infor-
nation. Jack did not answer the ques-
ton when first propounded, but when
the second inquiry was made he brought
the commission to sudden halt by de-
claring that he knew nothing of the
massacre.
The commission went into secret ses-
sion to discuss whether they should de-
mand the surrender of the guilty Utes
then and there. Ouray pleaded for
more time, saying he would hold a
council of the Utes at his house that
night and try to prevail on them to sur
render the Utes engaged in the mas
sacre and fight. If they did not do as
commanded he would gather all the
Uncompahgre Utes at the agency and
permit affairs to take their course.
Forty-eight hours were granted.
When the dispatch bearer left on Fri
day, the council at Ouray's house was
progressing.
No one believes that any of the Utes
will be surrendered, and il not, there is
nothing left but for the military to take
the field. However, the commissioners
are still hopeful.
