Playing With Fire.

Under the above caption the Denver
Times of last Monday says:
Information comes to The Times
from source which it has good reason
to consider reliable, that some residents
of Meeker have invited, or intended to
invite, the Utes to visit them July 4,
and indulge in horse racing and other
sports.
mot many years have elapsed since
the people of Rio Blanco county were
protesting in vigorous language against
the annual visits of these Utes to their
old reservation, and the power of the
state was used to drive them out. The
national government was also urged to
keep them beyond the Utah line, and
the result has been seven years of peace
in Rio Blanco county.
1.-The fact that the Utes were ever
there was being forgotten, and that bug
bear of the county-Indians-w dis
appearing. Do these people care more
for the few dollars these Indians might
leave among them, or the little trade
they might obtain, than they do for in
creased growth and prosperity through
the influx of white people? Let these
Indians once resume their annual visits
and they will soon become the nuisance
they were ten years ago.
Governor McIntire probably has no
official advice Of this contemplated visit
but The Times requests him, on behalf
Of the remote settlers in Rio Blanco
county, to promptly use his influence
with the good people Of Meeker to put
Il stop to the proposed visitation and
thus check, in its inception, what ap-
pears to be harmless matter, but
which might expand, either this year or
in some future year, into very trouble
some affair"
In regard to the above we will state
that The Times information has been
entirely unreliable. The Utes we're not
invited to visit Meeker on the Fourth;
they are not wanted here or elsewhere
in Rio Blanco county. On the contrary,
the people of this county would be very
much obliged to Governor McIntire if
he would take steps to stop the annual
hide hunting expeditions of the Utes
into the western end of Rio Blanco.
These raids are becoming more pro-
nounced each year-that is, the Indians
come little bit farther from the
boundary line of their reservation with
each recurring season and the number
Of deer they slaughter for their hides
on the winter range is beyond computa-
ton.

Meeker's Conquering
Heroes Return With
Victory on Their
Banners,
And are Welcomed Home With
a Triumphant Demonstration
--BOth Craig and Steam
boat XauuuiShed

Meekers victorious base ball team
returned home last night and was ac-
corded a royal reception. The victors
we're met at the town limits by martial
band and amidst blare of trumpets,
deafening cheers and grand display of
fireworks, were escorted in triumph to
the Meeker hotel where a glorious jolli-
fication was indulged in.
Ben Morgan came in from Craig early
in the afternoon and reported that the
Meeker boys had downed the Yampa
river champions on the Fourth and were
playing Steamboat when he left (yester-
day morningl, so preparations were i'm
mediately begun to give our gallant
boys reception beiitting the occasion,
and it was given with hearty good
will by the populace. which turned out
en- mass.
In the Meeker-C Craig game the score
stood 10 to q in favor of the former,
and in the Meeker-S Steamboat game the
White river boys won by score of 13
to 10. Both games were snappy and
played with vim throughout.
The credit Of victory is largely due
to the fine battery work of Barrett and
Earring. All the boys are loud in their
praise of the latter. The other men,
bers Of the team, particularly Bob
Crawford, Harry Edwards, Herman
Rich and Rube Ball, did spendidly,
Judging by all reports brought back by
those who witnessed both games. Simp
Harp and Q. b. Kelly, also helped to
embazon victory on our banners.
Hurrah for Meekerl We are THE
people and our ball team is the salt of
the earth.

"A message over the telephone
brought the news Monday about
2:3O p. M, that the Easley Mes
sengsr office was on fire. Several
citizens Of town hastened to Eas-
ley to render whatever assistance
they could in stopping the ravages
Of the fire Fortunately for the
town Of Easley the wiA,d was calm,
but four houses were consumed by
the flames, before they were check
ed and controlled by the citizens
who worked manfully with buck
cts Of water, drawn from tho wells
around, there being no othor
means Of protection against fire.
The fire originated in the NIessen-
ger office from a defective fluo, it
is supposed, and soon levoled it to
the ground. The ono story frame
house Of Maria Griffin, colorcd,
went next and there being no 9TH
er building near on that direction,
the western part Of the town was
safo. The third to catch fire was
the two story framo building used
by w. M. Hagood e Co., as a fur
nlturo and coffin store. There was
no hopes Of saving it, but evory
effort and means was brought into
action to save the large and hand
some brick building Of w. NJ. Ha-
good e. Co., which held their gen.
eral stock of merchandise and the
equipments of the Easley Banking
Company. 1t socn shared tho fate
of the others and Howard's store,
the next in line and about ten feet
distant, was saved, and the fire
put under control. The FIRE was
raging for two hours and during
that time tho contents of the
doomed buildings were being re-
moved as much as possible. 1t Is
difficult to estimate tho lossos, OK
cept the buildings.
w. M. Hagood & Co.'S, stock of
goods and store furniture was val
ued at about $4,000 Store houses,
$4,000. Printing Office building
and outfit $500. Maria Griflin's,
house and contonts $4OO. Hagood
& Co., had $4,000 insurance on the
brick building and $4,000 on tho
goods IN it. II. K. Hudgens haG
$500 on his buildlng and tho print
ing Office outfit. Maria Griffin
had no insurance, and, besides
losing her furniture, clothing &C.,
claims to have lost $65 in cash,
which was buried in tho hearth Of
tho front room. The loss Of the
Easley Bank is littlo, oxcopt the
damage to tho eafo.
