The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1879-11-21


schurz yesterday received the following
telegram from General Hatch:
Los PINos, COL, Nov. II.
To the Secretry Of the Interior.
Chief Ouray this morning asks for
time, and believes it is to the interest
Of the government to take to Washing.
ton such chiefs as we may designate,
not to exceed ten, Including some OF
the White river chiefs. In the mean
while, waiting for your answer, we will
continue to take such testimony as we
can obtain here snd elsewhere.
tSigned. HATCH.
A dispatch from Gen. Adams was
also received, TO the same effect, but
accompanied with a strong recommend
alton that ouray's request be granted,
with view OF promoting future and
final arrangement for the Utes. In re-
sponse to these dispatches Sec. Schurz
has telegraphed the following to Gene
raj Hatch, OF the Ute commission :
"Ouray's proposition to come to WASH
ington with some OF the chiefs is ac-
ceptacle, with the proviso that we can
not receive here as delegates any White
river Utes who were concerned with
crimes committed there. Their talk
before the commission, as II no crimes
had been committed to their knowl-
edge, Is merest trihing. Ouray cannot
expect the government to accept such
testimony, or to act upon any assump-
tion 80 absurd. There can be no doubt
that douglass, Jack, and other White
river chiefs know who attacked Thorn
burgh, and who massacred the agency
people. Their concerted effort to shield
the guilty parties by transparent plea
OF Ignorance as to well-known facts,
raises strong presumption against
themselves, and they are therefore nt
