Mormon Militia IncitInE the UtOs 10 War
Again.
Los PlNos Agency, November 2c.-The
Commission is patiently waiting the ar.
rival Of the White River Utes. Several
propositions have been made by the
Indians through 0uray, to return the
stock and property captured at White
River. All such offers have been refused.
General Hatch and Adams will listen to
no compromise. The surrender OF the
guilty parties is the only proposition that
will be entertained by them. Agent
Stanley received money Of Mrs. Meeker
from Douglass through Chief Ourav upon
his own responsibility.
0nray informs the Commission that
the troops reported to him advancing on
the Uintah Agency, were the Mormon
militia, that they have arrived there and
are trying TO persuade the Indians to re.
new the fight, offering to join the Utes
and furnish men and arms. Jack Is in
camp 20 miles from White River. Ouray
thinks it doubtful about his coming here
as he ls afraid Of the Commission.
WAsHlNGToN, December l.-Secretary
Schurz received the following telegram
from General Hatch to-day:
Los PINos, November 20.
The advance OF the White River Utes
are coming in. Word is sent US that there
seems to be more Norman influence than
we at first supposed.

at Work.


a Number Of Robberies--ThIeVes Hard
at Work.
The hardware store Of K. N. Theakel
was broken into last Sabbath evening and
goods to the amount OF about one hundred
and seyenty-fye dollars were taken.
Among which we're thirteen reyolvers and
a large quantity Of knives aud forks and
silver spoons, together with lot of pocket
kntvse, cartridges and twosilver cups. Two
Of the reyolVers taken were Of the Blue
Jacket pattern SO calibre, two Reminptons
81 calibre, two Mohawk, OCtagon barrel,
pearl handles, calibre 80. The others
taken were all OF the latest improved nat.
terns and will make quite an addition to
the armory ofthe set OF thieves who now
appear TO have perfect control of our town.
What is needed now by our people is TO
be on the watch and ready to welcome
these thieves.
The meat shop of s. Milligan appears to
have some attraction for these thieves, for
his shop was again entered last Saturday
night This is the third time within the
past three weeks that they have broken
into his shop.
Rem Barrs shoe shop was broken into
on Saturday night, and la few Of his tools
were taken.
1t was probably these same thieves who
DroEe into the cellar part Of J. NJ. Wal.
lace's store last Friday night. They tried
to get into the store, but failed from some
cause. It is the opinion of some OF our
people that it is not worth while to blame
this thing on tramping thieves fat all, and
that II the matter is sifted down, aB 1t
ought to be, that the thieves will be found
AMONG our own citizens, with the help Of
but one outside party. So look out.

ed an alliance. offensive and defensive;
that the Alabama and Chattanooga road

leading south from Chattanooga would
reduce the Cincinnati Southern road to a

Cole responded that there was no loun.
dntion whatever for the rumor referred to

ton Of tariffs as between the Louisville

The brass band gave masquerade ball
In city hall last night.
The first accident on the G. T. V. & W.
Railroad occurred yesterday. A truck car
is used to haul the rails from where they
are uloaded from the G. &P. switch, to
where they are needed to be laid, and as
there is distance Of two hundred yards
laid, during the time the car is not in
use by the road men, party Of BOYS have
been riding on 1t back and forth over the
new laid track. Yesterday, about four
O'clock, several boys were riding, when
one OF the number, a little son of Wilbur
Trueman, fell from the front of the car,
aud one OF the wheels passed over his leg,
At tho knee, making severe flesh wound.
Fortunstelyno bones were broken, but it
seems miraculous that his leg was not cut
entirely off. Unless parents keep their
children away from this new road, this is
only the beginning Of the first chapter Of
accidents.
On last Saturday evening about hall past
eight o'clock, four men entered the dry
goods store Of Mr.. Medill, in Bridgeport,
and asked to see some mems shirts, Mr.,
Medtll walked To the rear OF the store,
where the shirts are kept, followed BY the
lour men, and proceeded to show Them
the goods. Two Of the men stepped TO
another part Of tho store and each engaged
9 clerks attention, while the two left with
Medill succeeded in getting several boxes
on the counter for their inspection, when
ono OF them so disgusted Medill, by offer.
ing 40 cents for q 81 25 shirt, that Medill
commenced putting his goods back on the
shelves. While his back was turned to
the men in putting box away, he heard
Q rustl!ng sliding noise on the counter,
and turning quickly around, he conceived
the notion that one Of the men had SPIRITED
a shirt, and had it concealed under his
coat, quick as thought he thrust his
hand into the bosom OF the thief.
and dragged forth one Of his
y % shirts, Medill then called 10 one OF
bis clerks to go for policeman, but one
OF the party backed himself against the
front door and refused to allow the young
man 70 go out. He held this position
until all four Of them retreated to tie door.
when 1t was opened quickly aud the gang
OF shop-lifters made hasty exit and
escape. Mr.. Hedill don't know how much
they may have succeeded Ia getting away
with, as there is no doubt but It vas the
object Of the whole party to steal what
they could,
Forty new silk handkerchleis were
found under stable in Etnavile yester.
day. Officer Joe McConnaughy has them
and Is anxious TO have them identified, "a
he hopes the one who can identify them
may be able to impart information that
will lead TO the arrest Of the thieves They
have most likely been stolen from some
Zone Of the Wheeling stores.

The Mutual I.ite Insurance Company
Payment Of John Il. HubbartI's
Policy.
Attention Is called to the advertisement
Of the New York Mutual Life Insurance
Company in tO.day'a paper. The agent
here, Mr.. WE Peterson, yesterday paid
10 the widow ofthe late John r. Hubbard
the full amount Of the 5000 policy held
by the deceased at the time OF his death,
less half years premium due on It. He
also paid $50 post mortem dividend that
had accrued on the policy. This was GER
tainly very commendable on the part Of
the company, seeing that by the wording
Of their policies they are exempt from
payment in case Of deaths by suicide.
Whether they could have successfully con-
tested the payment of this particular
policy we know not, but 1t is certainly 10
their credit that they m.de no effort 10 do
90, nor even tosecure any compromise or
abatement Of the full amount OF the claim.
The Mutual Lille is one Of the great money
