A CRY FOR VENGEANCE.
Letter From agent Meeher's D0ssgI.te

Letter From agent Meehceg's Daughter.
Following is the text of Rose Meeker's let
ter, published in the Denver Tribune. It is
considered fair and candid statement of
the facts
GREELY, Oct. 9.-To the editor of the Tri-
bune: /, as the eldest daughter of the mar
tI red Agent Meeker, of White River agency,
wish to thank you for all the kind words that
have been said in the Tribune of my good
father, and also to express my feelings in
limited way, about this horrible massacre.
Had there been half as much expedition and
force put in operation from the time of my
fathers calling for troops until the battle as
there has been since the battle. this horrible
massacre would never have occurred. The
government. with its slow movements, has
let my father be murdered, when it could
have been prevented. My father wrote Gov.
Pitkin on Sept. 10, that his and all the lives
at the agency were in peril, and requested
troops. After three weeks delay so small
detachment was sent US, it was
overcome, giving the Indians more
power than previously. Had the
cowboys of Colorado been called on Sept.
10 they would have gotten there in time to
save the lives at the agency, and they would
have made so clean work of the red devils
that it would have been hard to find one
alive to-day. The life of one common white
man is worth more than the lives OF all the
Indians from the beginning of their creation
until the present time, and yet such a man
as my father, with brains, intellect, and
power to move the thoughts of men, had
his life ignominiously put out by the hand
of savage foe, whose life or soul is not
worthy of dog, and no power in all the
land to stay the deed. What a magnani-
nous government we have, to pamper a set
of creatures whose existence should have
been thing of the past long ago. Oh, my
father! Could but have died in your stead !:
My protector, my hope and joy Oh, the
broken hearts of widows, and daughters, and
sisters who to-day, this hour, mourn the
loss of their dear martyred ones, who were
their support, love, life, and their all. now
gone from their sides for. yer, with only sor-
row and desolation for their comforter
through life. Who can pay the price of this
mighty woe3 Truly the blood of the mar
tyred ones cries out for vengeance; and shall
the voice of anguish be heardI

DENVER, Oct. l3.-The following was re-
Ceived by Gov. Pitkin to-day: Lake City, COL,
Dot. lO.-To Gov. Ptkin: The following reli-
able news has come from the Los Pinos
agency: Sapavaneiro. one of the most reliable
snb-chiets who was sent by Ouray to the
White River agency after the news of the fight
Milk river yesterday at II o clock. he reports
he saw the white women and children at
White River agency, in charge of Chief
Douglass and one Of the employees who was
present when the Indians made the attack
upon the seency. This man killed one Indian
and wounded another. Sapavaneiro thinks
three or four more employees sre also alive, as
their tracks we're seen around the agency
buildings, and they may have fed to the
woods. Father Meeker was killed. The report
as given IN the papers that Sapavaneiro and
ShovanO took part in the fight is untrue, and
it is also not sure that Chief Douglass led the
White River Utes. Ouray thinks that Jack, q
White river Ute, commanded the Indians in
the charge on Thornburgh's command.

JOHN STUART MILL, standing at his
desk in the India House IN 1842, has been
picturesquely described by Professor
Balm, who saw him there. Mills tall,
slender figure, his youthful face and bald
head, fair hair and ruddy complexion, and
the twitchng of his eyebrows when be
spoke, first arrested the attention; then
the vivacity of his manner, his thin voice,
approaching to sharpness, but with moth
ing shrill or painful about it, his comely
features and sweet expression completed
the picture. He always, at that time,
wore the same dress-a black dress suit
with silk necktie. Many years after that
he changed his dress coat for sur
tout; but black cloth was his choice to
the end.

THE influx Of immigrants to Eastern

The influx of immigrants to Eastern
Oregon and Washington territory Is re-
ported larger this season. The reason as
given is that settlers have now little to
fear from attacks 10y rowing bands of In
dams. The NezPerces have been removed
entirely. The other predatory tribes have
been compelled to go upon reservations,
in addition, one large reservation has been
thrown open to pre- emption and home
stead settlement. One effect of this in
creased immigration is the increased de-
velopment of the agricultural resources
of the country.
