/ A sketch of the Head Chief 81 tho
The Denver Tribune Of Tuesday publishss
q picture Of Ouray, the head chief Of the
Ute Indians, accompanied by the following
| sketch:
Oursy, the he al chief of the Utes at the
Uncompshgre, il an Indian OF remarkable
| ability. lie has made two visits to Wash
| ington, and seeing the power and immense
| number OF the whites has become in every
sense Of the word a peacesble Indian. He
l lives in a house, cultivares some sixty acres
| Of ground, has large flock Of sheep, wears
the clothing of a white man, rides around
| IN covered wagon or carriage, and has
largely sdopted the habits and customs of
| civilization. He has Learned to sign his
name, and was in the habit of sending let
tiers direct to President Grant stating
| his grievances and what he wanted.
| His influence has been all pow
erful on the side of peace, and that
| there has been no collision between
| his people and the whites il entirely due to
| him. He ia not, however, the hereditary
chief, but became 80 some years ago throukh
his force OF character and the favor of the
| Indian agent, who acknowledged him ~
| such. Frequent attempts have been made
| to assa; sinate him by the Indians them
selves, especially those of the hereditary
chieftain ::blocd, who are Jealous of his
power and dissstir6ed with his chsnge
from the old habits and customs. The
whites much dread that at some time or
other these attempts may succeed then
there will be trouble there will be no re-
straining force, and the bad Indians will
get control OF the tribe. IL will not be their
numbers, but the scattered character of the
mining population, the numerous mountain
hiding places and the inaccessibility OF the
country, which will make them formidable
enemies and the war protrscted and expen-
sive.
Many years ago the sioux captured tn
son of Oursy while he was on . buffalo
hunt on the eastern plains of Colorado.
The bow then was twelve years of age and
his only child. 1t has been Ouray's great
grief, and, az he was taken prisoner and is
still living. he has made every effort to re-
gain him, but as yet unnecessarily. The
Government ought, he thinks, assist him
and get the boy back. Ouray last year
gave strong proof Of his determination to
keep his people quiet by the summary pun
ishment Of O-se-psw, Ute medicine chief,
who was, If possible, even more restless
and troublesome than Colorow. He wa
constantly travelling from the White River
Agency to the southern Ute country, e1-
citing all the Utes and endeavoring to get
Them 10 hin him in an attack upon the
whites. claiming that they had been de-
frauded by the Bruno, Treaty, and the
whites ought not be allowed 10 remain in
the San Juan country. Ouray saw that he
was getting quite q strong party On his
side, 30 to stop the trouble, after an angry
controversy, a. he was leaving the council.
in the act Of mounting his horse, O-se-paw
was shot dead by order of Ouray..

We Believe in Ingalls,

White Rock Letter in'Atchison Cham pior. !
We have been rather surprised 10 SEE such
papers as TIE 81. Joseph Herald in sympathy
with stumbsugh, Esgers & Co in their dirty
work. large majority OF the people out
here believe John J. Ingalls, innocent of any
OF the charges made against him by the cor
rupt and disappointed sore heads now trying
TO prove him guilty. We believe the Sens-
tors conducting the investigation are homes,
men, who VIII show no fsvors to either
side, and that in few days Siumbaugh,
EzgerS & Co. Will leave the capitol so covered
with disgrace that they will never be able to
get into position where they can engage in
the blsckmailing business. We believe, up
here, that when the trial is ended, Senator
Ingalls, win be triumphantly acquitted, snd
our great State will go forward in a moe
prosperous condition thaa ever.

A LATER DISPATCH.

The following dispatch was received al
noon yesterday:
To Gen. John Pope, Fat Laaeeawnth, Kuasas:
CHIclGo, October S.-A report which
seems reliable has Just reached me. The
following is the substance of it: Merritt
engaged the Indians two miles from Payne's
command on Monday afternoon, killed
thirty-seven and joined Payne, who had
only lost two men since the frs. en-
gagement. Dodge joined Payne on las,
Friday night, after severe fight, in which
he had lost all his horses
but two. The Indisns held conversation
with Merritt on the terms OF surrender and
were notified that they could surrender by
giving up their guns and ponies. They
wanted TO know II the soldiers would 60 to
the Agency, in which case they wculd fight
to the bitter end. 1t is extremely doubt
fult if any OF the Southern Utes are en-.
gagged in this White River affair and
would advise you and the Governor o.
Colorado to go little slow, AZ in day oil
two at least we can have facts instead o.
