SEVEN UTES KILLED.
Details of the Shooting of Indians by
Colorado Game Wardens.

MEEKER. Col, Oct. 2S.-Boyd Vaughan
arrived to-day from Snake river with a
dispatch from the Governor and the fol-
lowing letter to Game Warden Little,
written by w. r. Wilcox:
To-day, with a party of twelve men, /
tried to arrest a camp of Ute Indians. We
used all patience, and they fired upon us
and then we had TO night. On Snake river,
five miles above Lilly Park, several Indians
were killed and wounded. / have riders to
warn settlers in Lilly Park and elsewhere.
me settlers are gathering at Vaughan
ranch, and are very much alarmed, and
you can to try and arrest the Utes. be-
lieve that there were about sixty Utes in
this camp, but late information shows at
least one hundred men, and some say two
hundred have seen about forty, but they
were at many places, and may retaliate.
are entirely at their mercy, so you and the
sheriff of Rio Blanco county had better
do what you can to protect the settlers"
MT. Vaughan reports seven UteS Killed.
me nrst shot was fired by an old sQuaw.
The bucks then began firing and the war
quite a number. Warden Little in Coyote
basin, and Warden Mclean and Sheriff
Wilbur, are near Rangley. where they
went to arrest violatorS of game laws One
of the soldiers at Fort Duchesne who was
in Meeker a week ago. reported that 367
passes had been issued to Indians to come
into Colorado to hunt. One of the wardens
reported about one hundred UteS on Yellow
creek, in Rio Blanco county, last week.
Much feeling is shown against Warden
Wilcox here for his indiscretion in at
tempting to arrest a camp of forty Indians,
as 1t is almost certain to result in the kill
ing of settlers in the western part of this
and Routt counties.
