AMONG THE UTES

Last Saturday the commissioners
met in conference with Sapovonare
and other Ute chiefs, at Los Pinos
Agency. An associated press dis
patch says The scenes within Agent
Berry's Office were exciting, dramat-
ic and perilous in the extreme. All
the Indians were heavily armed, and
when the talk began the building
was surrounded by Utes who occu-
pied every corner to listen to the
conference, The UteS were told that
the commissioners were there for the
purpose of carrying out the provis-
ions of the treaty entered into last
year, and that it was the purpose of
the Government to accomplish this
as speedily as possible. They were
further told that the Government
was disposed to treat them fairly
and Justly, but an enforcement of
the treaty stipulations was para
mount TO everything else. They were
to be located upon another rcserva-
ton, and that no deviation from
this determination was possible.
The chiefs were asked to select five
Utes to 90 vlth the commissioners
to the new reservation, or otherwise
it would be selected without them.
Chief Sapoyonare and five other
Utes We're selected by Agent Berry
and ordered to report at his office
Wednesday. Agent Berry's infu-
ence with them prevented serious
trouble. Very few Indians are how
ering about the Agency, and opeey-
thing is qpies.

The condition of affairs in Ireland
grows more deplorable every day.
Numerous evictions have been made
and nearly all have been resisted
by the tenantry. On the Sd inst. a
party of constables went to a house
to accomplish an eviction and were
fired upon by men in ambush. \
hot fight followed in which a mum
ber of persons were wounded, some
of them fatally. The officers finally
triumphed and the house was clear
ed. In nearly every eviction the Off
GERS have been met by armed resist
ance and further trouble is expected.
The efforts of those who have tried
to bring about Il compromise seem
to have made matters worse.
Homer Boutell was tried by jury
at Topeka OF the 4th inst, for sell
ing liquor in violation of the prohib-
itory law. After being cut all night
the jury returned a verdict of acquit-
tai and the defendant was released.
This is the second trial of the kind
in Topeka, the result in both cases
being acquittal. There is a strong
sentiment IN the community against
further prosecutions, and the county
commissioners are being urged to
instruct the county attorney not to
commence any new suits, as the
costs to the county are already be-
coming quite burdensome in the alb
sence of any convictions. All the
saloon keepers in the city have tax
en- out United States license and in
tend to open and sell in defiance of
the law, They think it will cost less
to fight the new law than it did to
pay the license under the old.

On Il c 10Th two young men from

On t c 10Th two young men from
Cherokee county, Kansas, stopped
for The night near Caddo Springs.
Soon after they campcd an Indian
came and commenced trying to tell
them something; soon a second put
n his appearance tlien third came
up out of Il little hollow and finally
a fourth, who had been sitting on a
hill about half mile distant, slowly
wcndcd his way toward them. The
Indians had Il merry time talking
among themselves, but being as ig-
norant of English as the vcrdalt t
Young men were of Cheyenne, lie
communication between the two ra-
ccs was anything but satisfactory.
BY this time the boys were thor
ough'y y frightened and hastily pack
ing up, drove back to the Agency.
When they arrived here they were
so frightened that they could scarce
tell what they wanted, and it was
with difficulty that their fears were
even partially allaycd. They made
their bed in the wagon near their
team but it is not likely they slept
much. On Sunday morning they
stared for Caldwell with a cow boy
for a protector and no one doubts
their assertion that when once they
get out of the Indians dominion
they will stay. They came in via
Vanita, and claim that they intend
cd to rent farm among one of the
civilized tribes, but the farms Were
all rented prior to their coming
Some one advised them to go out
by way of this Agency. The scare
they got made a good deal of fun
for the rest of us.

| seem that Arizona is in about the same
state of stagnation that We are. But
there can be but little use In a mans
leaving a country, just at the time that
1t appears to be on the point Of taking a
turn upwards. To be sure we are now
dull, but the cause Ia not altogether due
to a lack Of purchasers for mines. A
little more than a year ago Deadwood
burned down, and over two millions of
money went up in smoke. All the
buildings, stocks, etc, were at once re-
placed, and Of course it was done on
credit, and this fall pay day came, con
sequently every cent of ready money in
the country has been sent out, and the
stringency of the currency does not get
any relief from an influx Of capital to
purchase our properties. But this state
Of affairs must necessarially be short
lived, and the country will be all the
better of, by reason of the rigid econo-
my it is now practicing. Next year we
shall probably have a railroad, either
built in here or very near us, which Will
during its construction circulate a vast
amount of money throughout the Hills,
and with the advent of a railroad we
are sure to have capital come i~n'seeking
an investment. If we can't satisfy them
and sell to them it is our own fault, for
many of our properties will pay well,
although low grade, SO that to skip out
next spring would be about as foolish As
was the donkey who swam a river to get
a drink.
