them the tent where mother and Mrs. Price
were stopping.
Next morning we left for Uncompahgre in
charge of Capt. Cline and Mr.. Sherman. To
these gentlemen we were indebted for a safe
and rapid journey to Ouray's house on the
Uncompahgre River, near Los PinOs. We
rode on ponies, 40 miles the first three days,
and reached Capt. Cline's wagon on a small
tributary of the Grand. Here we took
blackboard wagon, and Travelled the next
day to Gunnison River, and the next
and last day of fear we travelled A.
miles, and reached the house of the good
Chief Ouray about shutdown. Here In

patch from Special Agent Adams on the
1st, dated Los Pinos. 29th ult. General
Adams reports that he had just held an
other tongue council with the White
River Utes ut Grand River. He says
they are willing that the guilty parties
shall be surrendered and punished; that
he has faith in Ouray's ability to COM
pei the surrender of those found to he
guilty, and that in order to assure
this he (Adams) recommends the APP
pointment of commission of three,
one Of the number to be a military Off
Ger, to make a thorough investigation,
American citizen. [volume] (Canton, Miss.) 1864-1890, 1879-11-08

to find out the guilty and determine
their punishment. Chief Ouray favors
this course and Gen. Adams strongly rec
ommends it for the reason that although
resumption of hostilities at the present
time would eventually lead to the GER
tain defeat of the Indians, the war would
be attended with all the horrors of Dor
der warfare, great destruction of life and
property, and terrible loss to the people
of Colorado. Secretary Schurz had al
ready anticipated this proposal by the
appointment of a commission composed
of Gen. Hatch, Chief Ouray and Gen.
Adams. The settlement of the difficulty
is now considered highly probable by the
Indian Bureau.

A NEW feature in the way of a suspen-

in Connecticut is reported by local pa
per- 1t was a single thread of SPIDERS
web suspended from tree on the one
side to some object upon the other, be-
tween 800 and 400 feet in length. How
did the creature manage to get it across?
1t is conjectured that the engineering
spider must have calculated the distance,
and then spun thread the required
length, and then at the right moment
have thrown it out when it was carried
on the wings of some favoring breeze to
the opposite side, where il became at
tached. What was thespider's object,
unless to seek Il retired spot to prey, or
else to seek new adventures 1t Is not
known whether the spider persisted in
the attempt at crossing,' or whether 1t
gained the further shore in safety. 1t
was bold feat.
