THE SOUTHERN UTES.

Protest OF the Indian Rights Association
Against the Proposed removal.
The Governments proposition to remove
the Southern Ute Indians to another reser-
vation proyokes a vigorous protest from the
Indian Rights Association.
No removal of Indians from their homes
should, they claim, be dictated purely by
greed of white men for Indian land, but
primarily by considerations affecting the
welfare of the Indians themselves. In this
specific case the removal would be a viola
ton of this fundamental principle of sound
policy. 1t would take the Utes from lands
which are their own under pledge of the
Recommendation lands sufficient for their
support well adapted to agricultural and
grazing purposes; from immediate contact
with white civilization and proximity to
markets, and would place them on tract
OF land much larger in extent, far removed
from ciYilIZng influences. difficult of access
occupied already by band of renegade and
outlawed Indians who claim it as their own,
with no arrangement for joint ownership.
Then ii is argued there would be an I'M
doubted expense to the Government of from
5000 to $4,000, not estimating damages
to those whose property off the reservation
VIII be injured, nor the increased expense

TO come.
Better results could be secured, it is
claimed, by leaving the Indians on the

A WHISKY TRANSACTION.
Litigation Growing Out of william

Litigation Growing Out of William Il.
Coleman & Co.'s Failure.
There was filed in the Superior Court yes
terday an agreed statement of facts upon
viii oh a controversy exists between Outer
bridge HorSey and William T. Coleman &
Co. and the assignees of the latter, L. l..
Baker and Louis Sloss.
1t is set forth in the statement that
Horsey is distiller of whisky in Maryland,
and was in the habit of consigning his goods
in bulk to Coleman & Co. for sale in lots,
and then, instead of waiting for payments,
to draw cash from the firm against the con-
signment.
When Coleman & Co. failed in May, 1888.
there was an apparent Overdraft of Horsey's
to the amount of $1,000, but there should
have been sufficient whisky belonging to
HorSey in the possession of Coleman 81 Co.
to pay the draft and all expenses and leave
HorSey profit on the consignment.
However, it is alleged that shortly before
the failure Coleman & Co. sold a lot of
whisky 10 the Bank of California, including
Horsey's consignment. at $50 per barrel
when it was really worth 500 barrel, and
that when the aSSignees entered upon their
duties Horsey demanded the return of his
whisky.
1t could not be repurehased from the bank
unless the entire lot was taken. This action
was finally taken and HOrsey's and the
other Whistles were purchased at $50 bar
rel. 1t Is now proposed to have Il judicial
determination of how much S due Horsey
out OF the transaction.

alleged that the deed was procured nv
