WASHINGTON, January Ex-Governor
Pitkin, Of Colorado. resumed his testimony
before the House Committee on Indian Al
fairs this morning. He related incidents OF
his interview with Jack and other Indians,
going to show that Ouray had gradually

the Sscendency with them. He said that
the settlers OF Routt county had, previous to
the ThOrnDurgh fight, known that the In
dans would attack the troops at or near Bear
river, and that the general opinion among
the people Of Colorado was that the out
break was premeditltcd on the part OF the
Utcs. He also testified that the UteS made
frequent raids, set fire TO ranches, and MUIR
dered the whites; that they refused 10 sur
render their criminals to the State authori-
ties; that their grievance against Meeker
was his desire to civilize them, and not The
lack OF food: and that no miners camps
had been established on the reservation, as
has been alleged.

day, as PUBLISH d, that the Utes desired, ii
possible, to drive out the whites from Colo.
RADIO, but that they did desire TO drive them
out from the north and middle parks Of that
State, and HAD been cndeayoriug for years
to do 50.
