THE UTE CRIME.

On TWO or three occasions our dis
patches have limited at the outraging
by the murderous Utas of the Meeker
ladies, while the latter we're prisoners
after the massacre at the agency.
The truth of the matter has at last
come out. The venerable, gray
haired Mr5. AIeeker, in letter to the
Pueblo, Co'oEalo, Chiettain. asserts
distinctly and positively that she and
her daughter Josephine, and Mrs
Price, the other captive. were brutallv
raped by Indians. This announce
ment should make Secretary Schurz
blush for the temp0rizing and childish
manner in which be has conducted
this whole Ute business. Mrs. Meeker
says the government officers we're told
the whole story when the ladies' were
released, and why the information
was suppressed is as much a conun-
drum TO her as to the general public.
1t may be that the officials feared to
let tae facts be known, lest in their
deep Indignation over the fendish
outrage, the brave men of Colorado
should take the law into their own
hands and desl out TO the red
skins speedy and terrible Justice.

San Francisco, as usual, is the only

Is due rather to the prest
decline in ths yield of the mines in

The Fasting Doctor.

Chicago, 4. - Inter-Ocean'S New
York: DR.. Tanner began the seventh
day OF his long fast tordsy a. n3onit 9 ahhee
medical men expected to find him
Nevertheless, he was not feelisg as well
81 on Saturday, but attributed the fact to
want of rest during the night. He had
been much disturbed through the night.
At 5.25 he was in excellent spirits, and
conyersed freely with those about him.
Subsequently he became restless and
walked about the hall in an uneasy
manner. With the exception Of the
medical men and reporters, visitors were
denied admission, and DR.. Tanners
friends instructed him not to engage in
conversation with visitors. Notwith-
standing this ne did not object to talking
to anyone who spoke to him. In answer,
about O'Clock, to the question as 10
whether or not be felt hungry? he re-
piled: Il don't allow myself to feel
so, and l exert my mind against it. l
tell you there is a great deal of involition
in matters of this KIND. See my tongue;
it is as clean as any mans, and can put
il out as strongly as any man can"
An examination at 6 pm. reported:
Pulse 80, soft and compFessible;
temperature, SO; tongue moist and
slightly furred; skin normal and general
appearance good.
DR.. Gum who takes deep interest in
the experiment, says the failure Of the
trial will be first indicated by lowness Of
temperature and increase Of pulsation.
If at any time his pulse should fall two
or three degrees rapidly, and there should
be any evidence Of its falling still further,
we would at once insist on his stopping
the experiment. Great advantage in the
treatment of all intestinal disorders will
be gained if the experiment succeeds.

Mysterious Murder.

Chicago, 4.-The body OF an unknown
man was found in the extreme northern
portion of the city this morning, near the
artesian well, lying face in the mud,
with q cut in the back Of the head and hi:
throat cut from ear to ear. The body
was stark naked, but the clothes OF q
labo-ing man were found near. The
police st first believed laborer had
committed suicide, but subsequent inves-
LEGATION revealed the fact that the man
had been murdered and taken to thai
spot, his clothes removed and others
placed in the vicinity to conceal his
identity. He was evidently no laborine
man, but the we'll shaped hands and
Clearly appearance of person, except
where the body touched the mud, indi-
Gated that he was rather a professional
gentleman, and no ordinary workman.
No clue is obtained.
