(special to me Herald.l

Cheyenne, Wyo., March 11.-Superin-
tendent Rasback of the Cheyenne &
Northern railroad, who is with the train
which has been showed in at Iron
Mountain for two weeks, today sent
an urgent appeal to Cheyenne for aid.
Owing to the long siege provisions ran
short on the train and at neighborinS
ranches and today gave out entirely.
Two relief trains have been sent out
from here, but on account of the huge
piles of snow and ice in the cuts they
have not been dble to reach the snow
bound train and its forty-two impris-
oned and famished passengers.
Major Markedly, commanding a bat
talon of the Twenty-fourth infantry
at Fort Russell, four miles from Chey-
enne, tonight volunteered with 200 en-
listed men to so to the scene of the tie
up and assist in digging the train out.
A third relief train is being made up
here and will leave during the night
with the soldiers and a large amount
of provisions. The food will be distrib-
uted to the ranch houses and when
the train has ploUghed through the
snow as far as it can go, provisions will
be carried over the snow 10 the forty
two passengers.
There is now a force of $50 shovelers
at work shoveling the snow from the
track and with the big force of United
States troops, the road should be
opened and the snow bound train re-
leased by tomorrow noon.

Utes are dissatisfied with their present
location on the Uintah reservation, and
are anxious to get back to the reserva-

Telephone messages from the White
Rocks agency say that the principal
chiefs Of the tribe have lately had con-

looking to this end. and the agent has
promised them he will take the matter
up to Washington. The chiefs Of the
White River Utes say that when they
were seEt into Utah the government
promised that the land in Colorado,
which they owned, would be paid for as
settled up, but that the government
has not kept faith With them. Unless
they can get pay for their lands, as
agreed upon at the time, they want to
move back where game is more plenti-
full and the range for their stock bet

Sixty thousand bushels of oats are
wanted at the White Rocks Indian
agency, for which the government will
pay 81 per hundred. oats are worth
s125 here. so that this is equal to rs

HOT BATTLE WITH OUTLAWS
OVER 100 HUNDRED SHOTS
FIRED DURING THE MELEE.
An Indian the Only Man injured
Sheriff Tyler of Grand County
With Posse Pursues Bandits.
lspecial CORRESPONDENTS

Moeb, March 9.-Sheriff Tyler Of
Grand county and a posse. consisting
Of Deputy Sheriff Tangreen, J. c. Will
cox, r. w. Westwood, Herbert Day and
Red Wilson, have Just returned from
twelve days search in the Robbers
Roost country, southeast of here, on
the west side of the Green river, and
report some exciting events on the trip.
They started out on Feb. 20 on the trail
of some horses that members OF the
gang had stolen during one of their
periodical raids into this valley. The
trail was lost on the sandstone reef,
and the party went across to settle
ments on the west side, hoping to get
someone to show them the trails. That
section is almost impenetrable to those
ignorant of the trails. They failed to
get aid, and they rode through to the
Henry mountain country, hoping to
get some information of the horses on
that side. On their return on Monday,
March 6, they discovered a fresh trail
leading into the country they wanted
to reach, and followed it up, riding
careful for surprises. When they
thought they were close in they waited
till night, and then closed in and dis
covered the light of a camp fire, but
so situated they could not approach 1t
without being discovered, it being in
They watched till morning, and about
sunrise one of the gang, half-breed
Indian, came out and was ordered to
throw UP his hands, but instead, opened
fire. and a battle commenced. The In
dian dropped and was last seen crawl
ing behind the rocks, and it was
thought he was badly hurt. Three
others of the gang in the party opened
fire. and it was kept up for nearly two
hours. over hundred shots were fired
on both sides, but, as far as known, no
one was hurt but the Indian. The
fire of the gang from behind the rocks
stopped, and the sheriff's party, being
nearly out of ammunition, withdrew,
taking two horses that were found
there that had been stolen from Moab.
All that was gained by the officers was
knowledge of the country that will be
of aid in case of future moves in that
direction.
The difficulty of reaching the head
quarters of the gang makes their oper-
ations on surrounding settlements COM
paratively easy, for, with a few hours
start, they can ride to where, if expect
ing officers, they can stand off a large
force for a long time. 1t is a favorite
section for criminals from western and
southwestern Colorado, Utah, New
Mexico and Arizona. This is the first
attempt by officers to penetrate that
section.

CAVALRY INVESTIGATION.
Alleged Crookedness In Purchasing
Rough Riders Horses.
Especial Correspondents. }

Especial Correspondence.)
Cheyenne. Wyo.. March 9.-Major
Forest II. Hathaway of the United
States army has arrived here for the
purpose of investigating charges which
have been made against the board
which purchased cavalry horses for
Torrey's rough riders last spring. Com
piaints have been made that this horse
purchasing board stood il" with local
dealers and handled the business Of
the board so as TO feccive a consluer-
able trake-off.' 1t is alleged that the
board refused to purchase horses from
individuals in several instances, but
afterwards bought the same horses
from dealers who had become owners
OF the animals after the board had re-
fused them. 1t is alleged that in this
way the dealers made a handsome
profit and divided with the members of
the board.
The board was composed of Major
Varnum OF the Seventh cavalry, Lieu
tenant Schoeffel of the Eighth cavalry,
Major Percy Hoyt and Veterinary DR..
Holcomb OF Cheyenne.
Major Hathaway will leave Sunday
for Utah, in which state he will investi-
gate several alleged Irregularities in
connection with the work of the board
in that state.
