WHO Is RESPONSIBLE FOR THE POSSESSION o
FIXED AMMUNITION BY THE UTEs?
[By TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.l


WARRINGTON. Oct. %, 1879.
The Secretary of the Interior says that IL Is an
open question to who is responsible for the sale
OF fixed ammunition to the Utes, with which they
have been enabled to carry their warfare against
our troops. gun the Indian will possess. but to
keep him supplied with cartridges with, the i'm
provement of modern warfare is not necessary
for his civilization. When President Grant issued
his proclamation in November. 1876, it was to tho
effect that all fixed ammunition or metallic cart
ridges offered for sale by Indian traders should be
deemed contraband Of The proclamation
named the district of country to which this prohi-
btion should apply during the continuance Of hos
tlites. and 1t included the States of Nebraska and
Colorado, the latter having just been admitted into
the Union Since then no proclamation has been issued
announcing cessation OF hostiities, but the ad-
ministratiOn has changed. 1t IL therefore an open
question to whether anybody can be held respon.
sible for selling fixed ammunition to the Indians,
aud there Is law against the sale of rifles OF the
latest pattern IL still remains the option of the In
dian to arm himself as he peases, provided he can
negotiate for the purchase of weapons outside his
reservation. AS to the sale OF either or
ammunition the reservation the prohibition Is
forced in the Indian Territory where the whites
have right to intrude 1t still remains mystery,
however, to bow the Utcs so suddenly armed
themselves with fixed ammunition for Winchester
rifles and sprang into such defiant position. It Is
said to have been done for purpose different from
the ono carried out. though the end to be accom-
plished was the same.

GONE BELOw-Mr John Q. Moore anC
family went to San Francisco last evening
The occasion of this trip is for the purpose OF
| being present at their trial against the c. P.
r. R. Co.. for $50 900 damages, which is to
take place on the 23d instant The trial of
this case has been postponed from time to
time, at the request of the attorneys OF the
defendants, and in consequence has put Mr..
Moore to very great expense. From what
can be learned Mr.. Moore has a very good
claim against the Railroad Company, and the
fact is made palpable enough by the numerous
requests of postponement by the defendants
In Justice to all parties concerned in this mat
ter, it is to be hoped that there will be no
further deferments in this case, as Mr. Moore
has already been put to greater outlay than
his limited means will admit Of If he has no
claims throw his demand out of Court but if
he has, give him chance, even if he is not a
millionaire.
A SAD CAsE-Yesterday the wife of John
L. Crawford who was recently sent to the
State Prison from White Pine for cattle steal
ing, came to this city to implore pardon for
her husband, who she says, was prosecuted by
parties conspiring to deprive him of his prop
erty, which they succeeded in doing. She
says that prior to the arrest of her husband,
they had good home, plenty of cattle and
stock ranch, all of which have been stolen by
the men who conspired against his liberty and
property. They did not even leave her
blankets. She has four children to support,
and not dollar in the world. If Mrs Craw-
ford's side of the story is the correct one, the
case is indeed very sad one.
A GRAND SELL-The "O Old Brin hunt
at Weber Lake, is said to be one of the grand
est sells of the season. There hasn't been a
bear seen in that vicinity for the past twenty
years, and the whole thing has been gotten up
to replenish the depleted exchequers of the hotel
man and ranchers in that neighborhood. 1t is
said that at least a half hundred Virginia
gudgeons have gone or will 60 on the hunt for
that mythical bear. We should think that !
the Comsteckers have had enough of
'bears" of late, and would now be looking for
a "bull."

A DRUMMER'S EXPERIENCE.

A spruce and natty drummer from San
ming yesterday morning, who had quite a
little experience in the card line after leaving
Truckee on Wednesday evening He is one
of the knowing kind, who says that he always
makes his expenses on the trip by engaging
in little crooked game of poker. On We'd
nesday evening he sought for a game on the
cars, and was accommodated by an innocent
middle aged man, who looked as If he scarcely
knew one card from another. The game was
a two handed one, but watched with consider
able interest by sew eral other gentlemen.
At first they played zone dollar limit" but
after the spruce drummer had won about $50
he proposed to make it go limit, which
was agreed to by the innocent looking one
The young fellows luck did not change for d
short while longer, and he continued to rake
in the coin, when all at once one of the
lookers-on cried out, "See him taking the
cards out of his sleeve" at the same time
catching ahold of the spruce drummers arm.
Let him alone said the innocent looking
man; | do not believe that man with such
an honest face as he has would play foul.
And to show that | mean what l say, I'll
raise the ''limit to $40" The drummer
whose face turned pale at the accusation,
showed signs of great relief when his antago-
mist evidenced such unmistakable faith in his
honesty, and he acquiesced in the proposition.
The game went on, but the spruce ones
luck took a fearful " tumble" In less than
half an hour the innocent looking one had
won back all that he had lost, and $500 more.
The young man grew very nervous and ex
cited, and put up a $500 check, which was
also gobbled up in very short time. Then
ais watch, diamond ring and solitaire shirt
all went into the capacious pocket of
he innocent looking one. Never did one see
uch a cheap looking amateur sport as that
drummer was after he had been plucked as
lean as chicken ready for the kitchen. He
equested the loan of $40 from his fortunate
which was readily granted, and
hen he retired to his bunk. Upon inquiry |
t was learned that the innocent looking one
) one of the most successful professional |
'oker players of Virginia. He knew that the
atty drummer was playing a crooked game
nth him, but he played the innocent dodge,
o that he might punish him for his contemp-
ible trickery. When the $40 " limit game
,as proposed and accepted, the innocent one
egan the crooked business himself, but it
as played so delicately that the closest OBJ
ervers could not detect it,
