A squaw Saves Mrs. Meeker and Her
Companions-The Noble RedsAt-
tack Women and Children
Mrs. Msslxer Wounded.

Denver, Colo, Oct. 23.-A special to
ths5Tribuns from Alamosa, 800 miles
south Of Denver, and the terminus of
the Rio Grande railway, says the chill
dren and women who we're recent cap
tives among the Utes arrived there at
4 p. M, where they will remain for a
few days before proceeding to Denver.
They were surrendered to Special Agent
Adams, after a parley of Eve hours at a
camp on a tributary Of Grande river,
on the 21st, and ON the morning Of the
22d they started homeward, proceeding
through the Indian country in care of
the employees of the Los Pinos agency
to Ouray's house and agency, and ar
irving at the latter place on the morn
ing of the 25th. They started immedi-
ately homeward, and arrived at Ala
mosa as above stated. The captives
report that the money and papers
etc., which were represented to be
safe were destroyed by the Utes. Miss
Meeker's life was once threatened by
Douglas, who placed gun to her head,
but she did not finch and told Douglas
she was neither afraid of Indians or
death, and he skulked away. The
women agree that they owe their safety
to one woman, Susan, the wife of John
son and sister of Ouray, who protected
them all the time, even going into the
council, an unprecedented move for
women among the Indians, and raising
her voice for the release of the prison.

Los Pinos, COL, Oct. "a, via. Del
Norte, Col, Oct 29.-A courier has
just arrived from the Indian camp on
Plateau creek. The women and chill
dren are safe at Chief Ouray's house,
nine miles below. They stood the trip
well, and Mrs. Meeker has improved
in health every day since they started.
We left the morning of the 22d. The
Indians seemed unwilling for us to
leave until they learned what success
Gen. Adams had in stopping the fur
ther advance of Merritt's command.
Meeker's papers were burned, and
what money Mrs. Meeker had was
taken from her by Douglas. Their in
tentions were to kill the women and
children, as the windows of the room
in which they first took refuge were
riddled with bullets the instant they
had left 1t for more secure place in
the milk room. Mrs. Meeker thinks
Susan, the squaw wife Of Chief john
son and sister Of Ouray, did more than
all others to save their lives. She was
kind to them as mother, and their
parting was touching. Jacks band
fought the troops, and Douglas men
killed. the agent and employees. Agent
Meeker was killed by Antelope and
waupattits. Mrs. Meeker was shot at
while running from the house and at
tempting to hide in the sage brush the
ball passing through her dress and
making slight flesh wound about four
inches long. Arrangements for the
fight with Merritt's command were
most complete. Two hundred Arapa-
hoes had Joined Jack, and many others
from the neighboriug tribes, and had
it not been for the timely arrival of
Chief Ouray's order to cease fighting
the name of Merritt and his command
would have passed into history by the
side of Custer. with the same epitaph,

lived within view OF the mountain for nearly
thirty years. and have only once before. about
