ported. He takes his meals regularly

dealer in liquors. wines, beers. cigars and

ment of merchandise in his line. His

customers.

flowing. He sets tables for seventy

r. b. Robinson, the well known jew
eler Of Rawlins, has increased his stock

agement Of Mr.. John E. Shelter, be-
come one of the best conducted public

Lieut.. Newton, quartermaster in
charge Of the depot here. has shipped
more than SOC, 900 pounds of supplies to
White river recently. There are no
other military supplies at this station
ut present. Mr.. Newton has, however,
taken charge of fifty cases of dry goods
and loo, 000 pounds Of -four destined for
the Shoshone agency neal Fort Washa-
kie. These annuity goods have been in
store here for some time, awaiting
transportation to the agency; but no.
body connected with the interior de-
partment seems to take interest enough
in the matter to procure the necessary
transportation. The consequences will
probably be that we shall hear ere long
complaints from the Indians regarding
the scarcity of supplies. They will
have to suffer, as they have done in
former years, for the want OF supplies
which are waiting to be transported to
them from the railroad. There is some
thing radically wrong in the manage
ment Of our Indian affairs. This state
of things existed before last years. out
break Of the Utes. Their supplies were
lying at Rawlins, while the Utes were
starving at the agency. If reform is
necessary in any department of the
government, it certainly should be in
troduced without delay in the manage
ment Of Indian affairs by the great
"reformer" who has charge of the In
dian bureau.

on the last report Of his excellency, the
governor of Wyoming territory, to the
secretary of the interior. Our chief
magistrate has made the wonderful dis
covery that our last legislature enacted
n law extending the terms of the sever

scholar in our public school knows that
our county officers, ever since the or
ganization of the territory, have been
elected for two years and have held
their Offices for two years his excellency
has certainly failed to inform himself
on this important subject since his ar
rival here from Wisconsin.
A report Of q new outbreak Of the
Utes is in circulation here, but probably
is %unfounded. However, it is known
that the savages are insolent and carry
'the chip on the shoulder" Colorow's
band is in camp near the White river,
and have recently visited the traders
store attic militarycamponWh river.
They have plenty of money and spend it
freely. They are buying ammunition
wherever they can, and are pronounced
in their declarations that they will not
leave their country, ridiculing the re-
cent treaty made with the government.
The commanding officer at White river,
becoming disguised with their conduct,
has ordered Colorow and his Indians
away from the camp. They obeyed;
but declared that at some future time
they would come in sufficient force to
stay.
