Los P1Nos, COL, August 80, via Salt
Lake City, August 31.-At the Grand
Council held Yesterday Chief Sapovonari
was elected as Ouray's successor. There
! were only two other applicants for the
poo1CIOn, CucIo dIN L cd1l, tne former
claiming it by right Of promotion, being
second in rank, but his known hostility to
the whites prevented his promotion.
Sporanau had no desire to be bead chief, but
! wanted dual combination, he and Sapo-
| yonari to rule jointly. This the Utes
would not permit. Sapovonari is 50 years
old. He has considerable force of charac-
ter, Il large following, and had the conf
dence Of Ouray to such an extent that he
was left in charge last winter during his
absence in Washington. While he is the
best man for the place, he is far from be-
ing equal to Ouray. The Utes have killed
five Of Ouray's best horses, that they may
accompany him to the ''happy hunting
grounds"
