THE UTE MURDERERS.

GENERAL ADAMS AT DENvER-HE IS CONFIDENT
OF THE SURRENDER AND ULTIMATE HANGING
OF THE CULPNTs.
DENVER, Col, Dec 20. 1870
General Charles Adams. of the Ute Commission.
arrived In Denver last night. He has but little
doubt that the twelve Indians designated by the
commission will go to Fort Leavenworth.
and he believes sufficient evidence will be
secured to convict several. IL not all Of them.
Those convicted will be hanged. He does
not know that the trial will take place at Leaven-
worth. but they will be taken there first. Mrs. Price,
Miss Meeker and Captains Payne and Cherry will
probably appear before the military commission
witnesses.
The General thinks the Indians will by this time
have started for the North with General Hatch. Gen.
era Hatch cannot leave until each Indian designated
joins him, this is his military order. The Indian
prisoners will proceed to Fort Leavenworth with
guard of ten soldiers. and General Hatch and Chief
Ouray will come to Denver, where they expected
to arrive between Christmas and New Years. It had
been hoped that the Commission would hold
sion in Denver and take the evidence of Captain
aud Lieutenant Cherry. but Captain Payne is still
suffering from his wounds. and the Commission
may be Obliged to proceed to Fort Russell, near
Cheyenne, and take the testimony wanted. After
the evidence of these two officers has been urod
General Adams General Hatch and Chief Ouray will
proceed to Washington.

MISER LEWIS WEALTH.

The cross-examination of witnesses in the Lewis
will contest was resumed yesterday before Master
in Chancery See at his Office in Jersey City.
At the adjournment of the Mon
day last it agreed among counsel that
Mrs. Lewis should be in attendance and
submit to cross.examination on the part OF the
government; but. owing to continued indispositon.
she was unable to be present. Frank Fleet. one of
the conspirators. took the stand. He testifed:-"I
first met Mrs. Lewis at Mrs. Whitney's house. in
Forty-second street, New York. during the summer
of 1873; while there Mrs. Lewis spoke to me about
making some arrangements to get up forged mar
riage certificate; received money from Nichols
for my services in getting the marriage certificate:
the certificate alluded TO before Mr. Nichols was the
genuine one. which thought was in my sister-in-
laws possession. and tried to get it from her;
she told me she didn't have it; then thought 1t
had really been destroyed. and afterward set about
getting up forged one." Counsel read ut length
the original testimony of witness. who now denied
1t and admitted its being false. saying. Il am not

Fair was so evidently a throw-off that the
judges compelled the divers to run it over
again. From what we have recently learned
of this years meeting at Butte If such a rule
had been adopted here almost every n of
the races would have been a repeater. Sick
ness having left us short-handed when the
races came off we had to take our reports at
second hand and we find now that they were
not exactly as descriptive as they might have
been. We shall endeavor not to have this
happen again. As for the track, only a few
more seasons of " chuck" races will be
needed to put all end to sport IN Montana.

The Special Tax.

Now that the matter appears to be APP
preaching the practical stage, the business
men of Butte are beginning to express their
opinions respecting the offer made the city by
the Water Company. Those opinions, almost
without exception, agree on this point that
the city should not undertake any such task
as building a reservoir, or providing a pipe;
work of which the cost could not be accu-
rately figured oat in advance, and in whose
execution thee would be room for a misun-
d%erstanIing. If the city is to aid at all, the
general opinion is that its aid should be given
in the form of Il subsidy, a fixed sum of
money to be provided by a small tax for a
certain number of years, and paid over to the
Water Company IN annual installments. In
return for such subsidy, the Water Company
should be required to enter into an agreement
binding themselves to build reservoirs of GER
tain capacity, to lay down pipe of the size to
be agreed upon, aud to furnish water accord
ing to the plan already explained. A plan of
this character would very likely be accepted,
more especially if the annual installments
were made to coyer,a long period of time, so
that the yearly tax would be light. But the
proposition 10 levy Il special tax to raise
$500 or $1,000 in one slim in advance, need
not be submitted.
