these figures were accented a. official, and
were placed upon the official abstract, The

DRSyRa, COL, Nov. 19.-Intosmstion
has reached here from the clerk Of the
District Court OF Cross Mountain, Routt
county, to the effect that the old Chief
Colorow and party Of his renegades
numbering fourteen lodges are epcamped
on the Yamphe river, about twenty-five
mile above that point As they change
their location, they burn the winter
ranges all along their route, thus depri-
wing the cattlemen Of feed for their stock.
Fully "a, 900 head OF cattle have been fed
in that country, and these dspredatiops
are serious matter for the stock interests.
The Indians are bntcHering deer, elk and
antelope in immense quantities, killing
them for their hides alone, of@which they

row Is one Of the worst OF bis class. He
belongs to the White River Utes who took
part in the Thornburg massacre and the
murder OF Agent MeeEer some years ago.
The settlers, wild over the destruction
OF the game and ranges, have assembled
and will order Colorow to leave, and in
case Of refusal, general extermiuRtion
is expected. The Indians are well sup
piled with rihas and ammunition.
