TIE Utes will doubtless be involved. | think it i'm.
possible at this time for surveys TO be attempted.
The surveys referred to are those REQUIRED

in charge of the Sheriff TO answer for the killing

ing to my absence. Can the Attorney eneral issue
orders suspend action in the case until safety is
assured?
Secretary Schurz sent the following tele.
| gram to Governor Pitkin of Colorado:
| consider it my duty to communicate to you in
| formation received at this Department, that the
excitement growing out of the killing of an Indian
| and the subsequent killing of a white man.
threatens serious difficulties, and to disturb ali the
results of our Efforts now on the point Of consum-
nation, to settle the Indian problem in Colorado in
! O lust aud peaeeable manner. Mr. Berry, Agent of
the Uncompahgre Utes, telegraphs that he has been
arrested, and is to be taken to Gunnison on a war
rant issued by Justice of the Peace there eharg-
| ing him with the murder of white man who
| killed Indian Mr.. Meacham, one OF the Ute
| Commissioners, temporarily at Los Pinos reports
| that he has been summoned under a subpoena as a
| witness. Thus the two officers who probably,
| more than any Others possess the confidence Of
| the Indians, and can be best depended upon to
exercise upon them wholesome influence, are re.
| moved from them at this critical moment At the
time it is rumored that lawless persons in
tending TO seize upon and kill these officers of the
Government so soon as they are out OF the reserva-
ton. The information here is that these officers
did all they could TO save the life Of the white
reported killed, instead OF putting it in peril. Mob
violence used against these men In all probability
will be followed by other lawess acts disturbing the
peace between the Indians and whites and there ap-
| pears reason to fear that III this way Indian war
may be brought Oh, sure to result in the loss Of
hundreds OF lives and many millions in money, and
great disaster to the interests of Colorado Military
well civil officers on the reservation have been
instructed to use every possible effort to restrain
| the excitement OF the Indians and prevent a col.
ision. Everything Is being done part to
avert from Colorado the calamities Of Indian
war.

Railway Companies paid for it. They did it
as matter of national pride, and without
hope of reward other than that arising out of
