by the fear that he would not graduate,
by an unrequited love affair,
and by other causes. Whittaker's counsel
maintained, on the other hand, that the
Cadet was Of cheerful temperament, that
he had no reasonable cause for anxiety as to
his passing examination, and no conceivable
motive for the preparation of the fraud with
which he was charged.
A LARGE band of Utes are reported
to have left their reservation and gone into
North Park, causing general stampede |
among the whites, number Of whom have /
collected at place called Pinkham's, I'm the |
north end Of the Park, and fortified them
selves as well as possible. Gen. Flint, at |
Fort Sanders, telegraphed to Fort Steel for
additional horses, with the intention Of send
ing immediate help. There are said to be |
about TOO miners and prospectors in the |
Park. This report, although apparently |
well authenticated, is not credited by Gen. |
Pope and others who ought to be well in |
formed. The only access to North Park is |
through Middle Park, they say, and no In |
dams have been seen in the latter locality this |
spring.
