1t appears that Blower Brown was taken
with cramps in the stomach when he retired at
6 p. IN. There he grew worse, the trainer
said, and it became almost certain that he was
out of the race; but four hours of doctoring
helped him little and he was started again
as soon as possible. "But he is very queer,
said the trainer, land don't know how
long he will last" He returned to the
track at 1890, when his face was so pallid that
commences of his stomach difficulty could not
be doubted. though MS long delay had already
been regarded by the doubters as q trick in the
interest of the gamblers. He ran two rapid
miles and the exercise REDEEMED his face,what-
ever the effect may have been on his stomach.
He sponged his head and neck with ice water
as he ran, and darted past the others without
much opposition. His score was then, with
one exception, the lowest of ALL but he soon
overlook several of the hindmost. Murphy,
the leader of the morning. is boyish looking
with arms as white and plump as girls He
has regular features but nothing to indicate
pluck or endurance.

THE INDIANS.
Probable Death of All Whites on the Ute
Reservation.

Reservation.
RAwLINs, Wy. T., Oct. c. The latest from
the agency at White River, states that there
are 81 white people south of Thornburgh bat
tie field, exclusive of Agent Meeker and fami-
ly. Lowry who was at the agency the 9th of
September, and who was killed in the fight of
the Doth, was informed by Indians who escort
ed him off the reservation that they intended to
kill Meeker and all the whites on the reserva-
ton on the 20th, and that they did kill them
ON that day is considered certain.
Nothing has yet been heard from Colonel
Merritt's command, but we are expecting a
courier at any moment. Information from citi-
zen sources, which seems reliable, states that
Prices command was seen three days since.
Up to that date he had seen no Indians. Also
that the captain of Dodge's wagon train had
reached Prices command. The citizen did
not learn where Dodge's company was.
