WASHINGTON, d. O., Oct. l9.-The following
dispatch has been received at the interior de-
partment:
DENVER, Oct. 1S.-Hon. @. Schurz, secre-
tary of the interior: As there is no telegraphic
communication to Gunnison City am unable
to get accurate and reliable reports from the
East. have no advices of two companies of
State militia having started for the reservation,
and disbelieve the rumor. The informant IN
which has reached me ia that the sheriff arrest
ed Berry over a week ago at the agency, and
that Berry persuaded the sheriff to accompany
him to the Cantonment, about four miles
distant, where he escaped from the shoriff.
Two dispatches have been received here to-day
concerning him, one stating he Is seoreted BY
Indians, and the other that he is
protected by the commander of the post, re-
spectfully request you to require the COM
houAuoOI VI pObG UO Q6llV6f Mn To the
sheriff of Gunnison county, at Gunnison City.
This will avoid the necessity of the sheriff
taking State force with him to make the
arrest. Although his efforts to escape have
strengthened the conviction as to his guilt, I
have NO apprehension as to his personsl
safety when once in custody of the sheriff at
Guunison. Capt. Cline has been in jail for
about week without being molested The
sheriff telegraphed me to-day that Berry and
the Others are safe from q mob in Gunnison
IT you desire to have the military commander
deliver him to the sheriff shall like to be in
formed of the decision that may notify the
sheriff at once that further preparations for
making the arrest will be unnecessary.
