Los PISos AGENCY, Col, May is
The reported massacre of the Bradbury
party of prospectors from Del Norte is
disbelieyed. Chief Ouray has no such
confirmation. Acting agent sherman,
under orders from the department and at
Ouray's request, followed the party nine
miles up the north fork of the Gunnison,
| to warn them off of the reservation and
| OF the danger they were mourning. He
found it impossible TO overtake them, as
they were evidently making marches for
Eagle River, prompted, doubtless by a
visit from White River Utes. Several
days previous to his arrival at their
abandoned camp at Junction Water and
GunnisOn rivers, a parley of some kind
had occurred. The Indians report that
Bradbury's party claimed to be Mormons,
bound for Utah. though travelling In an
opposite direction. DIR. Mckenzie and
Scout Gibson are here but do not report
| any forward movement OF troops. The
Gunnison country Is swarming with
prospectors, and it is a question of
very short time when there will be an
equal rush to the Uncompahgre valley.
Chief Ouray is waiting patiently, though
anxiously for the passage of the Ute bull.
The delay of congress is endangering
the lives of the settlers along the borders
of the reservation, and should be held
criminally responsible for any massacre
that may occur.
