"a Battle That Cost the Government
SSO,314.72.
The last attempt to forcibly convince
the Utes of the majesty of the Colorado
law cost just ss0,314.72, 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 Gar
field county.
Under their treaty the Utes could oc-
cupy the unsettled part of their oldres-
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 horse be-
longing to a 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
sheriff's posse was swelled by every
man in the country that could carry
n 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 q
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 n 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
plicatsd 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 10
twenty Of their memo one knows
how many abandoned their hocks ard
raced back to Utah. The settlers took
lin the ponies and cattle, the goats were
left TO the mountain lions, and the
Utes abandoned the idea of anything
more than brief and fugitive visits tc
Colorado. Colorow, after craving per
mission os the whites, paida last regret
full visit to the White River valley and
then died in his lodge in Utah. Since
then the Utes, though bad-tempereC
enough, have had no oleader whose name

SLIGHT FIRE CAUSES EXCITEMENT.
REGULAR SKATING CARNIVAL AT

LlANTA, NEAR THAT TOWN.
Special Correspondence Evening Journal.
Seaford, Feb. 5.-The town was
thrown into a state of wild excitement
on Thursday night, about 8 o'clock, by
the cry Of fire" and the ringing OF
fire-bells. Flames and smoke were dis
covered on the roof of R. j. Aliens
residence, on High street. A crowd OF
a thousand or more soon surrounded
the building. The town truck was
brought to the scene, and a ladder was
run to the roof. Upon investigation it
was found that the fire was not as Sc
rious as was first thought to be- After
several holes had been cut in the rooa
the blaze was eXtinguished with few
buckets of water. Religious services
were in progress in st. Johns M. Il.
Church at the time the alarm was
given. At the first cry Of fire" the au-
dience rushed from the building in
confusion. Fortunately no one was in
jured It is thought the origin of the
fire was caused by a defective nue. The
damage to the building was very slight.
The mill pond, owned by the Seaforu
Milling Companl, which is about three
miles in length and seventy-five yards

BELL oE TIE CONSTITUTION.
Taken from the Guerricrc just After
the Great Battle.

Taken from the Guerricrc just After
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 Ironsides,"
which were published in the columns Of
a weekly journal Of this city-the Bos-
ton "True Flag" The articles were
very interesting and embodied every in
cident known to have occurred 10 this
famous old fighting frigatc. One Of
the incidents is headed: "How the Frig-
ate Lost and Gained a Bell"
During the memorable battle between
the Constitution and Guerricre n shot
from the British ship carried away the
bell of Old 1ronsides. As the Guerrero
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-
markably clear and melodious, and at
tracted the attention of q 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
u bell with which to mark the time,
he resolved to transfer the sweet-sound
ing bell Of the captured craft TO tho
deck of the victor.
The bell of the Guerrero was trans
| ferred to the deck of the Constitution
by the enterprising young gentleman,
/ and did good service for many years.
/ This hell must have had q long history
before it found its way into the Brit
ish navy, and just how it came TO per-
form duty on man-of-war is not 80
| plain. It may be that the bell was on
board the Guerriere when she was cap
iured 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 2.
men killed and 30 wounded.
During one of the many overhaulingi
experienced by Old Ironsides, the bell
together with other valuable trophies
was removed, became misplaced ant
forgotten. In this way the silver-tone,
bell lost it's identity, was sold at auc
tion and passed into the possession o
n gentleman who placed IL in n fac
! tory near the village OF saylesville, II
T., where it is now. We echo the word
Of the author Of the interesting accoun
when he says: IF the venerable reli
could be recovered by the governmen
md placed in position on the deck O
pld Ironsides IL would be fulfilling
mission certainly more appropriat
with its past record and in keeping wit
n spirit of sentiment that should jea
( pusly guard and preserve trophies Of
( grand old type of fighting vessels tho
= have forever passed away"
Around this bell about four inchC
from the crown, is the following il
scription: "Peter Seest, Amsterdam
. hnno 1868, me fecit." The figures carve
thereon indicate that the bell was Ion
