DENVER, Oct. 6.-Advices from
Del Norte give the following par.
ticulars Of the killing of the son Of
the Indian Chief. thirty miles east
Of Los Pinos Agency. Sept. 10th:
About 1880 P. NJ. two Indians came
whooping into the freigh ters'
camp OF ]. H. Jackson, calling him
and his four drivers vile names and
acting as though they intended to
shoot. The Indian who Is suppos ed
to be killed, fired one shot, " hen A.
8. jackson, nephew of J. H. Jack.
son, fired at him. Tho next day
the party were surrounded by In.
dians, who demanded the men who
did the shooting the night before.
Agent Berry, Mr.. Meacham and
Captain Stelley then arrived with
fifteen soldiers, arrested the
freighters and put them under
guard Of two soldiers and ten to
fifteen Indians over night. Pre-
vlous to the arrest J. 8. Jackson re.
quested protection from Major,
name unknown, who had 200 SOL
diers under him, but the Major re-
piled that he was not there to pro.
tect whites. The next morning
the freighters were marched tc
Kline's ranch, where the soldiers
disarmed them, even taking theil
pocket knives, after which they
were dismissed again, the officers
stating that they were not In their
Jurisdiction. Thus these five men
were left defenceless In an Indian
country, denied protection by gov
ornment officers who had ample
force and knew the men had acted
In self-defence, excepting Col. Beau.
mont, who, at the risk of censure
by his superior officer, sent suffi.
cient force to escort them towards
Saguache. On their arrival at
Kline's ranch, Agent Berry told
Jackson to obey Capt. Kline's In
structions and they would be un.
harmed. Kline attempted to get
them to proceed towards their desti.
nation, which would have resulted
In death. Young jackson, who
did the shooting, gave himself up
to Messrs. Kline, Hoyt, Holmes
and one Indian to be taken to
Gunnison City for trial. These
mon took Jackson without q guard
and started towards Gunnison City
and proceeded three miles, when
they reported that Indians over.
powered them and took the pris.
oner, but 1t is asserted by men who
overheard their conversation, that
Kline. Hoyt and Holmes intend
ed giving Jackson up to the In
dians when they left Kline's ranch.
The freighters begged the military
officers for arms to protect them
selves, but were refused. Steps are
now being taken north of here to
avenge Jackson's death as soon as 1t
is definitely ascertalned.
