INDIANS sLAUGHTER1NG GAME.
Are Now at Work in Northwestern
 Colorado.

Glenwood Springs, Colo, Oct. 26.- There appears to be no doubt but that the Indians are slaughter'ing game along the northwestern line of Col orado. County Judge J. L. Noonan re- turned from that country today and affirms the reports that have been re- ceived here relative to the Indians slaughtering elk, deer, does, lawns and bucks. He says that Deputy Game Warden Lytle left Meeker Thursday to see the trouble The people in the White river country laugh at the idea of Lytle stopping the depredations. Nothing that has happened has brought the game law into such disrepute here as the fact that white men who have come long distances to hunt are barred by the game law and the Indians are violat- ing it with impunity.
