l. PINos, Col. October 81, via Del
Norte, Co.., October 2S.-We have just
arrived from the Indian camp on PA
teau creek. The women and children
are safe at Chief 0arrsy's house. We
left on the morning of the twer ty-sec-
ond. The Indians seemed unwilling
to have US leave until tksS had learned
what success Gen. Adams had in stop
ping the further advance of Gen. Mer-
ritt's command. Mr.. Meeker's papers
we're burned and what money Mrs
Meeker had WAS taken from her by
Douglas. The intentions were to kiln
the women aud children, as the win
dows of the room IN which they
first took refuge were riddled with
bullets the instant they left for a
more secure place in the milk room.
Mrs. Meeker thinks that Susan, the
wife of Chief johnson and sister of
Ourray, did more than all the Others to
save their lives. She was as kind to
them as a mother, and their parting
was very touching. Jacks band
fought the troops until Douglass
men killed the agent and employees.
Agent Meeker was killed by Antelope
and Waupatel. Mrs. Meeker was shot
at while running from the house to
hide In the sage brush, the ball max
ing a slight flesh wound In the thigh.
The arrangements for a fight with
Nelritt's command were the most
complete. Two hundred Arrapahoes
had jnined Jack, with many others
from neIghboring tribes, aud had it not
been for the timely arrival OF Ourrsy's
order TO cease fighting the name of
Merritt and bis command would have
passed into history by the side of
Custer, with the same epitaph of San
initiated by Indians. The outbreak
may be attributed TO four things, viz
Repeated change and lessening OF
amount of rations issuad 10 the 1ndi-
ans; there being no head chief; Ute
Indian for an Interpreter who was un-
friendly to Meeker, and plenty OF
bad whisky, which was furnished by
rapchmen.
