MEEKER's LAST DISPATCH.
National Associated Press to the Star.


CHICAGO, Oct. 3.--A Times Cheyenne spe-
cial to-day SAYS the excitement throughout
Wyoming Territory over the Thornburg
disaster is unabated. Nothing later from
the front since the courier came out with
official dispatches on the 30th inst. Two
more companies went west yesterday to
join Col. Merritt. They were from Fort
Mcpherson, and numbered one hundred
and fifty men. They will reach Rawlins at
midnight. A copy of the last dispatch sent
out by Agent Meeker has been received
here from Rawlins. 1t is dated Sept. Goth,
and is interesting as showing the state of
affairs there at that time, and as seeming
contradiction to the statements of Scout
Lawrey. The dispatch is addressed to In
dian Commissioner Hoyt, Washington and
says:
If the soldiers arrest the Indians and 90
away Imust go with them. The soldiers
must stay. Large bodies of Indians are
leaving for the North to hunt. They in
sist that l should give out blankets now.

PESTIFEROUS PERKINS.
A Mail Contractor Who Should Be
Suppressed.
National Associated Press to the Star.

National Associated Press to the Star
New York, Oct. ga Tribune Washing
ton special says that Ex-senator Dorsey has
q contract for carving the mails from
White River, Colorado. to Rawlins, in Wy
Oming the route passing through the Ute
country. Some time ago sub-contractor
named Perkins threw up his contract, ex-
pecting to be able to renew it at higher
price. He was disappointed in this, the
contract being awarded to another man.
Perkins, however, decl ned to turn the
route over to the new contractor.
Finally the Post-of1ice Department was
obliged to issue an order for Poslmasters on
the route not to turn over the mails to any
one except the rightful contractor. 1t is
said that Perkins then went over the route
burning the grass and forage for long dis
tance. and killing the stock, in order to
throw every possible obstacle in the way of
the new contractor. AS final act of vii
lainy, it is said he instigated the Indians to
commit d>predations. The trouble now
existing in the country is attributed in part
10 the nialevolence of this ex-Contractcr.
