ling to surrender, for punishment, the men,
bers OF their tribe who murdered Agent
Meeker and his employees. This inspires
both civil and military officials with the con-
fidential hope that all Indian difficulties in
Colorado may soon be permanently ended.
There appears to be one general belief in
army circles that one definite outcome of the
events which have already taken place will
be the restoration of very large portion of
the present Ute Reservation to the public do
main and the consolidation of the bands upon
some suitable reservation in southwest Colo
RADIO, unless, indeed, all arrangement still |
more satisfactory to the people of Colorado |
can be effected by securingj the peaceable |
consent of the Indians to remove wholly out
side of the State boundary. 1t seems more |
likely. however, that the consolidation will |
ultimately be made in accordance with the !
| recommendations of Merritt. Aside from |
other manifest advantages of the removal of
the White River Utes to the southwark it
would further carry out what has long been
| the policy of our government, to keep all In
| dians as far away as possible from the Pacific
railroad, and establish a wide band of immo-
| lated territory along that inestimaby impor-
| tant line of communication clear across the
continent.

/ the front last night with dispatches and mail.

of October an Indian came into Merritt's
camp to have peace talk. He was Informed
that Merritt had no authority to make peace.
He then gravely informed the General that if
he would give up his arms, ammunition,
horses and mules, he would be allowed to
leave with his men. After The Indian left the
camp numerous signal fires were observed in
the neighborhood of the camp. Two COM
panies of Indians will be stationed at Snake

for wagon trains with supplies for Merritt.
