There seems to be no longer any ground for
hope that Mr. Meeker has survived the fearful
plight in which the Indian runner who brought
the last definite news concerning the Ute out
break, was compelled to leave him. 1t is
thought in Washington that there is a bare
possibility that he has been spared, but the
additional statement brought by the latest
runner, that Mr.. Meeker and employees were
killed seems 10 leave no doubt that this brave
and good man has fallen, with his family and as
sociates ia q general butchery 10y the Utes. How
earnestly he was striving to do his duty by
the men whose victim he has now become, Is
TO be seen in the testimony of the Indian Off
Gals set forth in our Washington dispatches.
OF the probable fortune of the troops COM
manded by Captain Payne, nothing whatever
seems 10 be Known. Firing was heard in the
direction of the battlefield two days after the
fight in which Major ThOrnburgh fell, and it
seems to be the general impression that the
soldiers must have been able TO hold out
against the Utes. The relief force may have
reached the seat Of war by this time, If
the calculations Of Army officers are cor

was the result Of a misunderstanding. La

intended to accuse him of bad faith, and

denouncing Conkling. Conkling retaliated,

SENSIBLE
Bon m Citizen.

We should like to give one word Of ad-
vice to the farmers Of this county but
knowing that such ADVICE would be unheed-
ed We shall simply express q caution. It is,
not to indulge too largely in the purchase
of machinery if debts are to be incurred
thereby. We gave the same caution last
year, and Of course few needed it as We
supposed would be the case. And the debts
contracted for such machinery last year yet
remain, in BY far the greater part, unpaid,
and in the majority Of instances secured 10
the manufacturers by rninous chattel mort
cages. Better cut your grain with your
pocket knives than to 60 in debt for reapers
unless you know certainly that you shall be
able to pay for them at the stipulated
period. No farmer can afford to pay
heavy interest on debts incurred by the pur
chase Of expensive farm machinery. These
debts will pull you down and wear you out
in the end be sure Of that. Go slow, and
pay as you 60. In time you will build
yourselves up in this way, just as surely IS
you will pull yourselves down by following
the other way.

has been taken to the Nebraska penitentiary
to serve his allotted two years. This case
has attracted considerable attention from
the fact that Reynolds crime was nothing

Mormons and it was not thought he could
be convicted. As a test case its result is

about six hundred. Col. Huston reports
when the courier left the agency it was
thought that the hostiles were two days
march away. Great excitement and conster-
nation is reported among friendly Indians
and the white population at the agencies.
Col. Huston Immediately dispatched a COM.

with orders to make forced marches until
reaching the scene Of threatened danger. He
closes the message requesting instructions
from Gen. Terry, who has directed him to

approachable, and answered very freely 50
unreseryedly, in fact. that his remarks may
be taken as q condensed treatise on what
he knows and believes about religion.
