CHICAGO, May 15.-The Times this morn
ing published a story from Leadville, told
by John Allendorff to a reporter of that
city, regarding the terrible massacre OF
white prospectors on the Ute reservation.
Allendorff says he left his home in Linn
county, Kansas, seven weeks ago, with sew
enteen others, equipped for an expedition in
search Of gold, which they found on the
headwaters Of the Gunnison River in rich
placers. On May Sd, while the party was
widely scattered, 500 mounted Indians gal.
loped down upon the camp, and after mas
sacreing the whole party cut their bodies
into pieces. Allendorff witnessed the affair
from a mountain, whittier he had gone
hunting. The Utes had carried off all the
gold and the whole outfit. Allendorff es-
capped, and walked for several days, until
he reached a settlement. He gives the
following as the names OF the murdered
men: Charles and John Andrews, Ellis
Moran, James Henderson, John and Isaac
Ditmore, Martin Fleming, Peter Amberg,
Fred and Louis SELL. Edward Maron, JO-
siah Warner, Philip Jackson, Jesse Jerry,
Adam Homer and Julius Terry. Mr.. Al
lendorff confesses that his story has been
discredited by the settlers to whom he told
it, and who attributed it to q disordered
brain. kilograms received at Leadville
yesterday report that men coming from the
reservation to Tolle City, report a party of
twenty-five prospectors corraled on the
Gunnison and twelve killed. This is up
posed to be Bradbury's party, which left
Del Norte three weeks ago. General Nc
Kennels column is on the way to the scene.
A letter from Sagueche says the Utes are
reported to have killed twelve miners forty
miles from that place, and troops from
Fort Garland are en- route thither. All of
these stories are subject to doubts, and
cannot be verified at present, as the roads
are. in q terrible condition, but it il be-
lieved the Indians are making preparation
for the war-path, and stirring news is ex-
pected soon.
