UTE WAR TEN YEARS AGO.



$SO.314.72.
The last attempt to forcibly convince
the Utes of the majesty of the Colorado
law cost just $SO,314.72, when all the
bills were allowed, exclusive of interest,
which has since piled up to quite for
tune within itself. Two whites were
killed and four wounded. This hap
pened in August, 1887, when all the
White River valley was included in Car
field county.
Under their treaty the Utes could oc-
cupy the unsettled part of their old res
ervation, not only for hunting ground,
but to pasture their herds of ponies,
goats and cattle. This privilege they
used to the utmost, and they became
very undesirable neighbors for the
whites, who were just occupying the
country themselves.
A young Ute buck gambling for
ponies designated as a stake a horse be-
longing to white man. He lost, and
when the winner went to take the pony
and found that it was not his a warrant
was sworn out for the Ute on a charge
OF horse stealing. Arrest was resisted,
the Utes scuttled into the hills and the
sheritf's posse was swelled by every
man in the country that could carry
a gun.
The Utes knew every inch of the hills.
and the whites knew only the valley
trails. No one knew where the Utes
were and terror seized the whole re-
gion, every ranchman feeling that n
band of hostiles might sweep down
upon him at any moment.
Urgent appeals were sent to Gov.
Alva Adams, who is governor now, show
ing such a condition of affairs that the
whole state militia force was sent into
the field. United States troops were
sent from Fort Duchesne, too.
The military found the Indians at the
mouth of Miller creek, but while COM
plicated military strategy was in prog
ress the Utes stole away. Next day
scouts found them at the forks of White
river, where Buford post Office is now
There was lively running fight, in
which the only casualties of the war"
occurred, as before enumerated
Then the Utes, minus from seven to
twenty of their memo one knows
how many abandoned their flocks and
raced back to Utah. The settlers took
in the ponies and cattle, the goats were
left to the mountain lions. and the
Utes abandoned the idea of anything
4
Colorado. Colorow, after craving per
mission of the whites, paid last regret
full visit to the White River valley and
then died in his lodge in Utah. Since
then the Utes, though bad-tempered
enough, have had no leader whose name
bore any terror to white ears and so
have avoided any collisions. sneaking

TABLE MANNERS,
Wall of the Man Who Carves for u
Large Family.

A veteran" writes to complain of
table manners in these latter days, in
cidentally protesting against the hard
lot of the father who has to carve for
a large family.
''In the old way we are taught to
wait until the carving and helping was
done before beginning to dispose of
the food, out of respect to the carver,
and so that he might have a chance
to get something to eat and not come
out behind all others at the table, but
modern table manners seem to have
changed all that, and if the carver gets
anything to eat he is lucky. Modern
table manners also do not appear to
regard it any way inappropriate to have
a newspaper at hand to occupy the time
at table. The old way was to occupy
the time in lively conversation and
reading a paper or book was disrespect-
full. In modern table manners there
seems no incivility in lighting a cigar
cite at the table or in adjourning to the
hail to smoke one while the table is
being cleared for dessert. There are
many other innovations in modern table
manners which might be noted, but
think many of the old ways best
The Listenere gives the old grumbler
cold comfort. 1T is a queer father OF
a family who expects to carve and get
anything to eat. The size of the roast
may be simply prodigious, but, even if
the young people at the table who were
first served do net come around for a
second helping by the time the last
person is served the first time the roast
will probably by that time have gone
irto the shapeless and refractory con
dition peculiar to roasts, and will in
cline the carver to content himself with
a little bread and gravy-or at least
to take the edges off the pangs of
hunger with something of that sort,
while he is organizing a second assault
on the roast for the benefit of the
others. Boston Transcript.

BELL OF THE CONSTITUTION.
Taken from the Guerrierc Just After
the Great Battle.

the Great Battle.
About two years ago Capt. Henry d.
Smith, of the United States revenue
service, wrote a series of II articles en-
titled "On the Deck of Old Ironsitfes,
which were published in the columns of
weekly journal of this city-the Bos-
tor True Flag The articles We're
very interesting and embodied every in
cident known to have occurred to this
famous old fighting frigate. One of
the incidents is headed: How the Frig
ate Lost and Gained a Bell"
During the memorable battle between
the Constitution and Guerricre a shot
from the British ship carried away the
hell of Old lronsides. As the Guerrierc
was rolling in the trough of the sea, her
masts shot away, her bell tolled re-
sponsively to the movements of the
shattered craft. The tones were re-
markabIy clear and melodious, and at
tracted the attention of a midshipman
on the forecastle of the Constitution,
who had been ordered to hold him
self in readiness to go on board the
Guerriere and superintend the transfer
of the prisoners. Bearing the fact in
mind that Old Ironsides no longer had
bell with which to mark the time,
he resolved to transfer the sweet-sound-
ing bell of the captured craft to the
deck of the victor.
The bell of the Guerriere was trans
| ferred to the deck of the Constitution
by the enterprising young gentleman,
and did good service for many years.
This bell must have had long history
before it found its way into the Brit
| ish navy. and just how it came to per
| form duty on a man-Of-war is not so
plain. 1t may be that the bell was on
| board the Guerriere when she was cap
tured from the French in 1906 by the
Blanche an English frigate of 3S guns.
No one was killed on board the Blanche,
and but one officer and three men
wounded while the Guerriere had 22
men killed and 30 wounded
During one of the many overhaulings
experienced by Old Ironsides, the bell.
together with other valuable trophies,
was removed, became misplaced and
| forgotten. In this way the silver-toned
| bell lost its identity, was sold at auc-
ton and passed into the possession of
{. gentleman who placed it in fac
tory near the village of Saylesville, r.
l., where it is now. We echo the words
of the author of the interesting account
when he says: "If the venerable relic
could be recovered by the government
and placed in position on the deck OF
| Old Ironsides it would be fulfilling a
mission certainly more appropriate
with its past record and in keeping with
spirit of sentiment that should jeal-
ously guard and preserve trophies of a
grand old type of fighting vessels that
| have forever passed away"
Around this bell. about four inches
from the crown. is the following in
scription: 'Peter Seest, Amsterdam
ammo 1868, me fecit." The figures carved
thereon indicate that the bell was long
used on a convent in England, and
was sequestered during the reforma-
ton, or it may have done duty on some
| continental house of worship. and thus
have found its way on the deck of the
| Guerriere before her capture from the
| French.-Boston Transcript.

THE FIRST SNOW.

Each flake seems a fairy parachute,
From mystic Cloudland blown,
And earth is still, and air is mute,
As frosts enchanted zone.
The shrubs bend down-behold the trees
Their tngery boughs stretch out
The blossoms of the sky to seize,
As they veer and drive about.
The woods are black, the hills are white,
And glittering in the sheen,
The lake eXpands-a sheet of light
Its willowy banks between.
These fur-rObed genii of the Pole
Dance Ger the mountains white,
Chain up the billows as they roll.
And pearl the caves with light!
The sunset comes and eve reveals
Her clear skies to the moon,
And Ger hush'd earth a radiance steals
More bland than that of noon.

keeping.

TO the Editor Of the Press:
As the editor of the Recorder for

worthy of a better cause has been
publishing Il series of absolute false.
hoods relative to the proceedings of
the county commissioners and my
self as states attorney regarding the
issuance of licenses to persons in the
county engaged in dispensing liquid
drinks. and as said editor has given
publicity to a petition which reflects
upon the commissioners and myself,
I deem it not out Of place to mako a
few statements Of fact (which the
Recorder ignores) relative to the
matter.
Before the places in question were
granted licenses a petition directed
to the county commissioners and my
self, and signed by about 400 tax.

man at that time engaged in business
in Dickinson with one exception)
was presented asking that persons
engaged in the business of selling
liquid drinks Ito use the language of
the petition) be required to pay
license and pledging their support in
the enforcement Of the payment
thereof. This petition was signed
by the editor Of tho Recorder and
can be seen in my Office with the
signatures. It was in response to
this petition 90 liberally signed that
the places were licensed. Under the
system 41,a25.O0 have been paid in.
