UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD TRAIN
LARAMIE Wy. T.. Oct. 5-5 O'Clock r. NJ.
General Crook. who left Omaha yesterday on this
train bound for Rawlns has not mp to this hour re-
.ceived any further news whatever from the
scene Of Thornburghs combat. Puyne's corral.
Meeker's agency Merritt's advance. Nearly
ono thousand troops have now been sum-
moned from various posts to tho Ute
country and probably COO have left Rawlins.
Some of these forces were mp in the Big Horn coun-
try and some at Fort Smelling. These are hurrying
rs fast as possible to the rendezvous and starting
point tRawiins), which, from its proximity to Fort
Steele, seventeen miles distant. will for few days
also be the arriving point for news.
GENERAL cRooH's MOVEMENTS.
General Crook is not yet certain whether he will
Ak his headquarters at Fort Steele or Rawlins. He
will be present at both places daily for awhile d.
recting the movements and arranging the supplies
of troops. General Merritt's first Instructions
to succor Psyne's command. His next duty will be
to protect the settlers and overwheln il possible
the whole Ute tribe. which by its acts of war and
murder has violated its treaties with the government
every peaceful right.
LONG CHASE ANTICIPATED.
It is thought that unless General Merritt is excep
tionally fortunate he will have long and monot-
onous chase before he can punish the offending
band. General Crook docs not anticipate that the
Indians will stay to fight Merritt He puts their ut
most fighting force at 800, and It is probably not
large. The Indians. General Cook says. won't
hght unless they are sure to win. or unless
they can gain positive advantage by delaying the
advance Of their enemy. They will know exactly
how strong force Merritt is advancing with and
whether they have routed Payne failed to do 80.
They pretty certain to be of by this time.
A gentleman who talking with General Crook
the train to-day used to be familiar with the Ute
bands that have suddenly turned hostile. and
says their customary wintering place is far
down South. toward Santa Fe. They may turn
to that country. the trails toward which
lie through unexplored hundreds OF square miles
Of mountains. Familiar the Utes with the
mountain Businesses the pursuit and punishment
Of them might thus become matter of weeks or
even months But as long as even ten hostile
Utes are out among the white settlements" says
General Crook ait will be the duty Of the troops to
protect the settlers. Otherwise all progress would
be arrested. and every settlement in the neighbor-
hood would have to be abandoned"
