Last Saturday night three sons OF Mr.. Jor-
dan who resides 'on the Ocean House road,
Cape Elizabeth, started for the city with a
horse and wagon intending to visit the per-
formancc of Humpty Dumpty at Music Hall.

reached the pokey bit of woods near Knight

four men rush from the bushes. One of the
men seized the horse by the bride and the
other began to fire large stones at the Jordans
By chance one of the boys had pistol in his
pocket which was loaded and he fired at the
man who had hold of the bride, at the same
time one of his companions whipped up the
horse AT the evidently unexpected firing Of
the pistol the rascals ran and the young men
were glad to off SO easily

Ouray has ordered all the Indians in here
by the oath. We shall then arrive at the
facts or close the Commission with the
demand intimated in your dispatch.
(Signed) HATCH, Com missioner.
Secretary SchurZ's instructions above
referred to were to the effect that in view
of the transparent artiice of the White
river chief, the commission should declare
that it was well understood that agent
Meeker and bis employers were murdered
and Thornburgh's command then attacked
near the agency and nobody else was there
to do this but the White river Utes.it was
useless for them to deny that some of them
did it and that if they would not
declare which individuals were respon-
slble, they must all be held responsible,
all forfeit their treaty rights and be treated
as hostiles. The commissioners were further
instructed to obtain testimony from subor
dlnate members, not chiefs of the White
River band, and from that testimony and
evidence of the capture of the women make
up their minds as to who the guilty parties
| are and ask Ouray 20 pocure their surreu-
der. Under compulsion of the threat above
indicated. the Secretary infers from Gen.
Hatch's telegrauis that this course is al
ready proving efectuai.
Los PINos AGENCY, Nov. 2l.-Y ester
day the Commission was occupied in
interpreting to Ouray the testimony Of
Miss Meeker taken at Greeley, Colorado,
which furnished the evidence of the cap
tive women. and no objections being raised
by Ouray. it was admitted to record. At this
pointO Ouray stated to the commission that be
had the best proof of overtures being made
by the Mormons of the White river, Utes,
promising to supply all arms and ammuni-
ton required provided they would continue
the fight This occurred since Gen. Adams
was at White River, and if proven, may
explain the course of the outbreak. Gen.
erals Hatch and Adams have insisted that
the White River trouble was an enigma,
which failed of solution. The present
commission may find one. The fact that
the Mormons were not only instieators of
the White River massacre, but of similar
kinds. If Jack will tell she truth, he will
prove a valuable witness. Awaiting his
arrival and three of the remaining hostiIes

Thursday morning, forty five masked citi-
Gems forced Sheriff Watson to surrender tc

soon as he should get out. Stewart was
twenty years old and begged piteously for
his life and for time to write to his mother
st Conneautvile, Pa, but was only allow
ed time 20 say brief prayer and was then
launched into eternity. The mob then
took Ed. Frodsham. and although he
struggled furiously. hung him in work

with the hangman' trade. Frodsham has
been jumping lots. and driving off occu..
