NO NEWS AT ARMY HEADQUARTERS.
No news has yet beeni received at
army headquarters from Col. COrbin,
who left for the scene Of the Indian
troubles in New Mexico day before
yesterday, and none Is expected until
the colonel reaches the reservation,
which will probably be early next week.
IL be finds the Indians on the warpath
he will send a messenger to the nearest
telegraph Office at once. There is no
telling how serious the trouble may be,
as the medicine men of the Moqui
tribes have been trying to kick up a row
for a couple Of years. These fellows are
bitterly opposed to education and they
are determined to keep the Indian
children out of school. They knowthat
their power over the Indians will come
to an end as soou as the Indians are edu-
Gated, and they have SO worked on the
young bucks that the children have been
forbidden to attend school, and as the
government insists that they shall go
TO school IL is hard to tell how the
trouble will end.
The Moqui Indians are the most indus ,
trious and intelligent OF all the southern
tribes, and, as a rule, they are not warlike
but the medicine men seem to have
worked them up all along the line this
time and Col. Corbin will have consider
able tact il he prevents bloodshed.
He has gone to the front with full
power to make peace or fight and it now
remains with the Indians, for their
children must go to school in spite Of the
medicine men.-L. A. Times.
