times. He has seemingly been Indifferent to
his fate. Not till the night before the execu.

INDIANS.
A Cheyenne, Wyoming, telegram says
that on the 10th Of September, Agent Meeker
OF White River, Colorado agency, wrote Gov
.aatkin letter, stating that the Ute Indians
objected to doing more farming and that Chief
johnson had assaulted him, driving him from
his house; that he had conferred with other
chiefs and they laughed at the assault, saying
that Mecker might proceed with the plowing,
but they would do no more of it, Mr. Meeker
says he feels that none of the whites are safe
and has no confidence in Indians. Since this
letter reports have reached here that the
agency buildings have been burned
and that the Indians are raiding along the
White and Bear rivers. No definite reports o1
murders being committed yet received
Troops have been ordered to the agency. II
is believed that the prospecting and mining in
North Park, which is the hunting ground oi
the Utcs, has excited the outbreak.
