Responstbie for the Conflict With In
dians ia Colorado.
SALT LAKE, UTAH, Oct. 2s.-A special
20 the Tribune from Jenson, Utah, says:
To-day the first veritication of the news of
the killing of the Indians and game
warde ms in Colorado was received. Just
after leaving Jenson this afternoon a
party of ten Uintah Utes was met return
ing from Colorado. They stated that
fight occurred in which two bucks were
killed and two squaws wounded, one
fatally. All Indians who knew of the
difficulty are Leaving Colorado, but there
are several parties who are too remote for
the news to have reached them. If any
additional trouble has occurred between
the Indians aud whites it must have hap
pened among these Indians, No new
news of other difficulties has, however,
been received. The Indians who gave
this news do not seem to be at all ex-
cited. but are rather disposed. and natu.
rally so, to blame The game wardens.
According TO their story of the engage
me1t, a party of twenty-five wardens
came upon their camp and opened fire
without warning. with the above men
toned result. There were five bucks
engaged in the affair. The Indians seem
TO be acquainted with the full particulars,
and their report is believed to be correct.

vicinity OF the city square, far to the
northwest of the Jail. whicl is in the
extreme eastern part of the town.
1t worked perfectly, for while nearly
every body was running toward the sup
posed fire Flannelly, much alarmed at the
general excitement, hurried to the wagon
and was driven full speed to San Jose,
twenty-five miles away. By this strategy
the prisoner was taken beyond harm.
The whole situation was intensely dra-
matte and the general verdict tonight Is
that the prisoners removal was the wisest
thing that could have been done. The
good name of the town has been main
taineu.
1t was the desire of the people 10 pre-
vent such a record as a lynching rather
than any sympathy for the murderer that
caused FlanneIly's hasty removal to San
Jose.
The doctors agreed at once that there
was but one chance to save McEvov's life,
and that was by amputation. No time
was lost after DR.. McLean's arrival, for
there were many signs OF blood poisoning.
The patient was anesthetized and the left
arm was moved at the shoulder joint.
The Sheriff opposed the operation 10 the
very last and did not give in until the
gravity Of the situation was set forth by
Or. Mclean. He then resigned himself
to his fate and calmly awaited the opera
ton, recognizing his friends and chatting
with them pleasantly while the surgeons
were preparing their ntissptic baths and
instruments for the operation.
While there were grave fears that the
patient would not survive the shock be
recovered and showed remarkable
strength. At o'clock he was pers piring.
which was considered a good sign, but
when the effects of the strychn inc and
other medicines with which he had been
fortified for tie operation died away it
was seen that he could not live through
the night.
Shortly after O. clock the patients con-
dition grew rapidly worse and DR.. Ross
announced that there was no chance OF
recovery. The pulse bounded TO lao and
temperature 20 105, with every evidence of
approaching dissolution. He became un-
conscious and died at 9:45 P. NJ, sur
rounded by his family and friends.
Tine Sheriff died from blood-poisoning
or a general septic condition" said DR.. W.
NJ. Barrett tonight This condition set
in last night and soon permeated the en-
tire system. There was very little hope
from the start. The bullet entered just
above the wrist on the outside of the arm,
pIowing its way to a point six inches
above the elbow. It destroyed the peri
osteum all the way"
The dead man was So years old. He was
born on a farm about four miles from
Redwood, near Woodside, and was mar
ried in July to Miss Lizzie Hall of this
city. He was always popular where he
lived and had many friends throughout
the county. He was elected Sheriff in
1892 by a large vote and by a heavy
popular majority again in 1894 The
Sheriff was member of Redwood Paror
No. &C. Native Sons. He never took any
active part in politics until he was candi-
date for Sheriff, but was always stanch
Democrat.

SAFE IN JAIL AT SAN JOSE.
Does Not Seem TO Be Worried at
All Over His Atrccious
Crime.

SAN JOSE, Oct. 2S-Thomas Flannelly,
who murdered his father at Red GOD City
Tuesday night and subsequently fatally
shot Sheriff McEvoy. was brought TO the
county jail for safe keeping this evening
by Deputy Sheriff Fred Desirello and B.
A. Rankin. San Jose was reached at 6:45
O'Clock. The trip was made in light
spring wagon with one horse, and but
three hours and a half were occupied.
Flannelly lay down fiat in the bed of
the wagon while Desirello, armed with a
sawed-oH shotgun, sat beside him. The
prisoner stood the trip we'll, and when
within few miles of the city lighted Il
cigarette and enjoyed smoke.
On his arrival he was helped from the
wagon and. supported by officers, taken
TO the small tank. Harry Everett, pris-
oner, was put in with him to attend to his
wants during the night. Although suf-
fering severely Flannelly stated he could
move about alone. No extra guards will
be put on the jSil, as no attempt to rescue
the prl.oner Is feared.
The coming of the officers with Flan-
nelly was known, and when they drove up
TO the iaii a couple of hundred people
were in front.
Fiannelly refused to discuss his crime
When asked why he killed his fat er he
said, He started to get his He then
caught himself and refused TO say any
thing further.
Flannelly told Desirello fimsy story
to the effect that he thought the officers
who came after him were rob bers who had
come after 500 he ad in his possession.
He expressed the opinion that Sheriff Nc
Evoy had only received a flesh wound
and would recover. He has not heard
that McEgoy is dead.
The first six miles of the trip were made
With the horse on a dead run, and the OF
fcers say they expected at almost any
instant they would be thrown out as the
road was so rou h.
