Unable to Return Indictments.

The grand jury OF Sweetwater county found
noindictments against the Rock Springs, w. T.,
rioters. 1t made the following report: We
have diligently inquired into the occurrence at
Rock Springs on the I'd day of September last,
and though we have examined large number
of witnesses no one has been able testify to q
single criminal act committed by any known
white person on that day. Whatever crimes
may have been committed the perpetrators
thereof have not been disclosed by the evidence
before us, and therefore, while we deeply re
gret the circumstance, we are wholly unable,
acting under the obligations of our osths, to
return indictments.
We have also inquired into the causes that
led to the outbreak at Rock Springs. While
we find no excuse for the crimes committed,
there appears to be no doubt of abuses existing
that should have been promptly adjusted by
the railroad company and its officers IL 1t had
been done the fair name of our territory would
not have been stained by the terrible events of
September 2. The Union Pacific railway COM

Gen. Noyes was in no respect blameworthy

that when the general returned
