Utes Quietly Passes Away.
Pneumonia-A Gloom Cast Over

Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
OURAY INDIAN AGENCY, Green River,
Utah, by special courier TO Price Station,
Utah, Dee. u old Colorow, the White
River chief, died Mt his camp near the
mouth of White river, few miles above
Ouray Indian Agency, yesterday morning
of pneumonia. Colorow has been under
the military surveillance of this place for
more than year, or since the conference
of General Crook with Governor Adams
at Meeker in September, 1887. Sinus
that time the whereabouts of the old man
have been known ut all times 10 the COM
mandeT of this post. Since the attack
upon his camp near Neeker by Sheriff
Kendall, he has never passed east of the
reservation line and has always accused
the settlers of White river of hypocrisy
and betrayal. He had Il passionate re-
gard for White river, and when driven to
the reservation located his people on that
stream, only few miles above the
agency. Colorow has been feeble for
some months, and was given permission
10 go with Il few OF his followers to the
mountains south of this post during the
summer months for the effect of the cool
atmosphere Of higher altitude. \ few
days ago it was announced that the old
man was sick, and the physician ut Ouray
Was sent for To attend him. He at
once saw pneumonia had fastened
ITS DEADLY FANGs
upon him, and so stated to his friends.
Great CONSERVATION was at once appar-
emf, and 10 the hour OF his death mani
festations of gloom became noticehle.
q f,il,a al Of IN
willows on the river banks, cut their
hair and otherwise gave vent 20 their
grief at the approaching demise of the
great chieftaim. When visited by an
interpreter and asked if he wanted
to talk before dying, the old fell
low ut first thou htfully shoO,l his
head, and followed by saying he had
been wrongod and prosecuted by the
whites, and that some of his own people,
the White'River Utes, had talked two
ways, meaning they had deserted him.
Just few minutes before
THE OLD CHIEF DIED
he called Gus, his son, to him and asked
to be taken out TO the bank of the White
river. where he was laid on his blankets
and died among the willows of tho
stream upon which he had
passed the most of his years.
Immediately upon his death, as Is the
custom, some of the younger members Of
the band mounted ponies and rode to tho
ranges, where some thirty or forty of tho
best horses were shot, the Indian belief
that the spirits of the horses accompanies
the spirit of the chief to the happy hunt
ing grounds.
Preparations are being made for thu
burial which takes place this afternoon at
q point situated midway between thu
agency and post. The agency employees
are engaged in preparing the grave,
which will be made large enough to cons
tain the remains and quantity oil
blankets, provisions and other articles Of
use in the future which are supposed by
the Utes to be absolutely essential for tho
peace and comfort of their dead in the
great unknown The dead chiefs age il
unknown, although known to be ovet
seventy.

MAYINS WORTH REMEMBERING

Despair is the gateway to insanity.
We never thoroughly know man until
we hear him laugh.
True and uniform politeness is the glory
of any young man.
Originality is the faculty of adopting an
old idea to new occasion.
Fame, like lightning, generally strikes
the man who is not expecting it.
a man s bearing wins ten superior wo-
men where his boots and brains win one .
If man stands before woman with
respect for himself and fearlessness of
her his suit is half won.
Argument will pull wise man down to
the level of fool, but it never raises O
fool up 10 the plane of wise man.
Thorough appreciation of a good woman
on the part of a young man is one of the
strongest recommendations to her favor.
When man ventures an opinion he
will find some one who opposes it. Hence
man without opposition is a man with
out opinions
A young man who with any degree of
earnestness declares that he never in
tends to marry confesses to brutal ma
ture or perverted morals.
The more of a man you become, and
the more of manliness you are capable
of exhibiting in your associations with
women, the better wife you will be able
to obtain

A popular movement has been in
aUgurated in Illinois, and is being pushed
with Il good deal OF determination III
Chicago, for the appointment of state
inspector of building and loan associa-
tons. One of the foremost advocates of
the mo cement is Mr.. H LOughborOugh
n man who has done a great deal of hard
work i'll disseminating building and Joan
information in the West. In a recent
letter to the Chicago News on the subject
he says:
Building associations have become
put lie necessity, and being public and
not private enterprises for individual gain
it is absolutely necessary to have them on
Il sure foundation. Hence l trust to see
in short time that a state inspector has
been appointed, 4 man of fearless integ-
rity, whose only aim viii be to serve the
public without fear or favor. The ball
should be kept rolling till the majority of
thinking, reasonable officers OF local as
sociations admit that it is to
their vital interests to have state
inspection. The amount of money
held in trusts by the associations is enough
TO show the absolute necessity of associa-
tons allowing at all times official inspec-
ton of their books. This money, il
sEtGJ lieSlSuAt, II SuDSCIlDGu DS men
who, while doing so in a eommendable
spirit of independence, with the aim of
acquiring n home, are totally unac-
quainted with the running of the associa-
ton in which they are investors They
have 10 place implicit confidence
in the managers. Therefore, how
very much better it would be for
all the associations to insist on
the appointment of state inspector,
thereby assuring to all Individual inves-
tors complete guaranty that their in
terests are carefully and judiciously man.
aged. 1 am sure that such an appoint
ment would be the means of very largely
increasing the present membership, as
large majority of the working classes are
afraid of putting their savings in the
hands of men of whom they know
nothing, and in whom they have no con-
fidence, for the simple reason that they
are ignorant of the modus operandi of the
associations -
If, as Mr.. Loughborough complains,
Chicago shareholders are willing to trust
the management of their affairs to ''men
of whom they know nothing and in whom
they have no confidence, - it would seem
that his agitation for some kind of q
supervisory inspection were necessary. 1t
