Saporanau was elected as the successor of
Ouray. There we're only two other app :
cants for the position, Gauro and Peak. The

second in rank, but his we'll known hostility
to the whites prevented his promotion. Sspo-
ranari is fifty years old, aud he

following is large, and he enjoyed Ouray's
confidence to such an extent that he was left
in charge last winter during the latter's visit
to Washington. He is the best man for the

Ouray. The Utes have killed five Of their
best horses, that they may accompany him
to the happy hunting grounds.

New York, Aug. Sl.--A report was circu-

railroad tickets on through lines had been
detected, and that the headquarters were
supposed to DO in New York. Inquiries at

he had been on the alert for some.

eis, who sell tickets over nearly all the rail-
roads at less than the price charged by the
company. Through some of these men, il is
believed, forged tickets are disposed of to
persons seeking to travel cheaply, and, being
well invented, they are likely to decoy both
purchasers and conductors Of trains, who, in
the hurry, rarely do more than take casual
glance al them. They have even passed
checks at railroad quarters until the time ar.
rived to check tickets by numbers, when the
presence of duplicate numerical designations
has shown that something has been wrong.
As this examination does not take place i'm.
mediately after the collection of the tickets,
and the operators being aware of this fact,
they have had opportunity tor disposng ofa
large number to the unwary, especially to
newly arrived immigrants.
