The Berry Affair In Colorado.
DENVER, October Doth - DIR. w. W.
Rowan, one of the witnesses of the Berry
affair, arrived here this morning. He pro-
nouuces the statement that two companies of
militia had gone to the reservation to aid the
Sheriff in making the arrest untrue, and says
it would have been foolhardy, as the Indians
were on the alert and knew every movement
OF the State officials. He further says that
they had orders TO send detail TO escort the
messenger with the $4,000 of Ute money to
the Agency, but the order was recalled before
he left, so he thinks the money was returned
to Washington, and says that Berry is en-
route from the Agency to Denver, and that
the accounts of the trouble have been greatly
exaggerated.
