In THE uTEs, COUNTRY.
Earnest ingsrsoIi Tells Of Thrilling
Moment in the Rockies.

Moment IN the Rockies.
Thrilling moments are as various
as human nerves and emotions. l
heard philosopher discourse for
two hours once to demonstrate that
all life was nothing but divers quiv-
ers. The phrase commonly applies
to physical peril, but then the sensa-
tion is more likely to attack the
spectator than the principal of the
scene. Sometimes you may be both
observed and observer, as once when
] sat In railroad train on high
bridge in the midst Of sudden
hurricane. The bridge trembled,
the cars tottered under the push of
the gale, and few thought any Of US
would ever get ashore. l was one
day riding on the pilot Of locomo-
tive going so miles an hour when we
rounded curve, to find car on the
track few rods in front of us; the
future looked unpleasant to the man
under the headlight Pleasure and
pain play on the same keyboard of
nerves. One can experience much
the same sensations as overlook me
on that pilot from the sight OF the
mellow mingling and shifting of sum
set lights flushing and paling upon
Z mountain peak when they usher in
the night with q chorus of color.
One day, 90 or more years ago,
when the Colorado Rockies were still
Indian country" a party of us in
government work started to explore
their southern Businesses. In Middle
park we were halted by the Utes,
who We're assembled in considerable
numbers. They were determined
that we should not proceed, and
had good mind" to annihilate us on
the spot. We were equally resolved
to overcome their objections and go
ahead. The greatest circumspection
was needed lest some spark should
ignite the powder of war scattered
thick!y about Us. |, for one, ran at
top speed away from malignant old
Squaw who chased me with knife
while the red mob applauded. On
the second afternoon the crucial
pow-wow was in progress in old
Peah'S. teepec. The mufhed dunn
dum-dum OF war-drums resounded
here and there from other lodges,
where eager young braves were
making public opinion. One Of the
geoloyists and myself, to while away
the time, began to measure the flow
of Grand river, by sounding it's
depth and estimating it's velocity.
Marvin had gone upstream short
distance and started piece of wood
which was to time as it passed a
certain point. had squatted down,
the better to observe this small
float, when something caused me to
glance up. Squarely opposite me,
fifty yards away, knelt powerful
Indian, in paint and feathers, glanc-
ing along the barrel OF a rifle pointed
straight into my eyes. Had the
negotiations failed?" was my first
thought, followed by ! know not
what others. But l kept them to
myself, and, rising Slowly to my
feet, drew my revolver from my
belt, and steadily brought it down
to an aim as good as his. A moment
later the redskin lowered his rifle
and stalked away. We had to throw
in new chip; anl it was some time
before the ants ceased to travel up
and down our spines, as the Poles
say.-Outlook.
