on the Sabbath, is liable to pay a fine of SO :;
and if persons gathered under awnings or at

likewise lawbreakers and subject to siini-

strumentality of Johnson's squaw theiI
condition was very mnch improved
and further indignites ceased. Appre-
tensions as to the treatment of tho
captives to fate worse than death have
proven not to be sustained by the facts, and
the captives arrived safe but worn out by the
indignities detailed above. Susan proved
to he the guardian spirit, and had it not been
for her intercession the fate of the women
would have formed one of the blacklist pages
of Indian devitry.
Last night (Oct. 24) on the arrival of the
captives, Ouray expressed great satisfaction,
and this morning, on their leaving, Chopotta,
wife of Ouray, wept like II child. The
Agency effects We're destroyed, the women
only saving such clothing they happened
to have on. Mrs. Mceker was permitted To
and esprit book" as she told the Indians
it was. The money, $50, was taken from her.
Miss Meeker had $50 i'm the building and Mrs.
Price small amount, which was destroyed
by the flames.
Through the fearful ordeal Of captivity
Mrs. Price and Miss Meeker almost fought
for the rights of poor old Mrs. Meeker.
their defiance of intruding Indians, and
readiness to resist insult to the old lady,
challenged the respect of even the blood
thirsty aborigines. They would push the
savages right and left when interfered with,
and, on making complaint to Susan, would
face the Indians, while Susan laid down the
law and penalty; and to this fact may be at
tributed the many favOrs Of which they
would otherwise have been deprived.
The Indian runners, prior to the release Of
the captives, reported "white sqIIaws heap
brave" The statements in detail of the
captives have been taken by Inspector Pol
lock for official use.

LATE NEWS ITEMS.

At Fredericktown, Knox County, o.,
on the 25th, party of ID women, all armed
with hatchets, made an onslaught upon KEEL
ly's and O'ConnOr's saloons, broke open the
doors, smashed all the decanters, and
knocked in the heads Of the liquor barrels
and poured their contents upon the floor.
They then visited the drug-stores and other
places where liquor and beer were sold,
and admOnished the prOprietors that unless
the Objectionable articles were removed
from town within As hours they would forci-
bly, seize upon and destroy them. The town
is torn asunder by these somewhat high
handed proceedings, each side having its adj
herents. The salOOn-keepers whose prop
erty was destroyed have sued out warrants
against the avenging fair ones, and a lively
legal contest is likely to follow.
At Atchison, Kansas, on the Goth,
Police Officer Lewis Chew attempted TO ar
rest drunken and disorderly negro, named
Monroe Amos, on the public street, when the
latter, who had revolver in his hand, took
deliberate aim at the officer and fired, the
ball taking effect in the latter's abdomen.
Chew fell, but recovered himself sufficiently
to draw his revolver and put bullet through
the negro, the ball penetrating very near the
heart. The negro died almost instantly
Officer Chew lived several hours, when he
died.

The Story of the Ute Captives.

The special correspondent of the
Denver Tribune at Los Pinos Agency gives
the following account of the trials and SUI
ferngs of Mrs. Meeker and her companions
during their captivity among the Utes:
The history of the prisoners during their
captivity forms most pathetic chapter.
After the killing of Agent Meeker, the wOm-
en- attempted to escape into the brush from
the burning building. Mrs. Meeker was
fired at, with the result of flesh wound in
the hip, four inches in length. Miss Meeker
and Mrs. Price We're called to by Indians :
g No shoot white woman; stop; Indian no
hurt They We're mounted; Miss Meeker,
with Mrs. Prices eldest child, years old,
tied behind her; Mrs. Price, with her infant
in her arms, and Mrs. Meeker, who is "a
years of age, and lame from her wound.
When they struck the camp at midnight,
Mrs. Meeker was dismounted and fell to the
ground, unable to move, and the Indians
surrounded her and added to the misery OF
