MUST PAY THEIR OWN WAY.
Conditions Under Which the Utes
Can Visit Washington
fSnecfal ID The HERMAN

Especial to Ine HeTdld.D
Washington, Oct. Secretary of the
Interior Bliss has addressed a letter TO
the Uncompahgre allotment commits
sioners, relative to the proposed visit of
the Ute chiefs at Washington In this
letter the secretary says that he would
he very glad to have the chiefs come
and to confer with them relative to
the alIotments.
However, says the letter, there are
no funds available out of which the
expenses of the trip can be paid"
If these chiefs are willing to come
and permit the payment of their ex-
pen6es out of their annuity interest
moneys, the secretary viii recommend
to congress that the Indians be re-
imbursed for their expenses. 1t is esti-
mated that it will cost about 81, GOO for
the chiefs to visit Washington. The
only available appropriation which the
Uneompahsre commissioners have is
the $3.50 appropriated by congress for
the allotment purposes and s., 300 Of
this amount has already been expended
and the remainder viii certainly be re-
quired to complete the allotment
1t now rests with the Ute council as
to whether the chiefs Will visit Wash
ington- There is no reason to doubt
that congress Will appropriate the mod
est sum asked to reimburse them. The
secretary believes it would be very ad-
vantageous if the chiefs were to visit
Washington.

lsnecial TO The Herald.l

Price. Utah. Get fS.-A shooting ARRAY
occurred here between two soldiers
from Fort Duchesne at about O'Clock
this morning. The men, John Shidell
and Charles H. Rankins had been
drinking and although they had form
erly been good friends, quarrelled while
in their cups. Each drew his gun and
fired at the other when only about two
feet apart, but strange to say neither
was hit. A bullet passed through
Shindelrs hat, however, and Rankins
coat sleeve was perforated. Failing in
the attempt to shoot each other, they
came to hand to hand fight and
ShindeN hit Rankins two heavy blows
on the head with his revolver, in
flicting very ugly wounds and render
ing him unconscious.
Both were placed under arrest and
charged with assault with attempt to
murder. At the preliminary hearing it
developed that Shindell had been the
aggressor all through and that Ran
kins acted only in self defense. Shidell
was held for trial on the charge of at
tempted murder and Rankins was dis
charged. County Attorney Warf prose-
