HI EH
II has alresdy been stated that . new
military post win be erected in Utah
near the Grand river, where the south
ern or Uneompahgre Utes are being
taken. AS the White river Utes are TO
be removed to the Uintah agency in
northeastern Utah. 1t is surmised that
a new post viii also be established near
that place. The nearest post at present
is Fort Bridger, in southwestern wyo-
ming, but it is too far away for all
purposes. Hence a more convenient
post is not only desirable. but necessa-
~. considering the marauding spirit OF
the White river Utes. Doubtless the
matter will soon receive the consider
alton of the proper authorities who will
probably act upon it before the close of
the present season.
1t is said by both soldiers and citi-
zens, in Montana and Wyoming, that
the next Indian war may be with the
Crows. These Indians are becoming
jealous of the encroachments of the
whites on all sides,-a Jealousy that is
being goaded to desperation by design
ing whites who tell the Crows they are
to be removed to q new reservation in
northern Montana. The Crows will
not give up their reservation and they
will not be easily driven out, hence
they tear that il white men close in on
them much more a fight must of neces-
sity result. They are troubling settlers
outside their reservation by begging
and in stealing horses and cattle. When
pursued, they take to their reservation
and defy the law.
A Washington dispatch says that
Sitting Bull and his Indians will be
sent to different agencies. Sitting Bull
will be treated precisely like any other
Indian.
The LEADER learns from a private
letter that the members of 1 company,
9TH cavalry, narrowly escaped death by
lightning while on their way from Fort
Fetterman to the Yellowstone national
park. The men were feeding their
horses at the picket line in camp neal
Antelope springs, a station between
Forts Fetterman and Mckinney. Sud-
denly a flash Of lightning, which blind
ed the men for a few seconds, struck a
bank within ten feet of them. Every
one Of them was knocked off his feet by
the conclusion but, fortunately, none
was hurt.
