did not want many things, but above
all else they demanded that Agent
Meeker be removed.
1t was easy enough to guess what
was impending. Governor Pitkin saw
it and advised Washington that prompt
measures should be taken to prevent
an Indian uprising. Mr.. Meeker wrote
to the same effect, declaring that the
presence of soldiers was necessary and
imperative to prevent bloodshed. With
the exception of a single company of
colored cavalry, whose presence in

Chippewa Outbreak Brings to Mind Wildly a Terrible
Chapter in Colorado History

Thousands of people have been ter
rified and millions have been stirred
by the recent Chippewa Indian out-
break in Minnesota, but of all the null
titudes hat with inherited horror have
read of the savage deeds of these red
skins surely few have felt the chilling
sense of personal agony that two wo-
men in Colorado have experienced up
on reading the newspaper accounts CT
the Bear lake fights.
There is a fin de steele contrast Of
fered in this circumstance, too. At the
very time the widow and daughter
of N. c. Meeker sat in their old home
at Greeley, Col, porting with reminis-
cent terror over these stories of Chip
pewa savagery, scarcely a stones
throw away the State Federation OF
Women's Clubs was holding its en-
lightened sessions. There, in the chap
ell Of the state normal school, was the
present in the full-brained confidence
stepping boldly and almost defiantly
into the future-the woman's future.
Here in the stained and faded house
of adobe, shaded by transplanted trees
and, as it were, visibly shrinking from
that aggressive present, were these
two women, whose ancestors came
over in the Mayhower, whose husband
and father was the personal friend, the
companion, and, in many ways, the
inspiration of Horace Greeley, and in
whose checked and saddened lives is
chronicled a tragic chapter of Colora-
dos h~istory-two women living almost
wholly in the past. The contrast was
not without it's lesson, not quite lost
upon many of the thinking women who
stepped lightly past the historic little
home.

that is the story that is wildly and
painfully recalled whenever an Indian

Adulteration of articles of consump-
ton is, of course, a fraud upon the pub
lie unless due notice of it is given.
But, according to the Lancet,a redeem
ing feature of the deception in these
days is that adulteration generally oc-
ours in some wholesome form. Mar
garine is an excellent food substance,
though it is not butter; the potato is
very nourishing, but it should not be
found in bread. In the same way
champagne is an excellent and invigor-
ating beverage, which in it's cheaper
forms, however, has often nothing to
do with grapes. Gooseberries, of
course, have placed champagne within
the reach of everybody. There was a
time when it all came from vineyards,
when the poor had to treat the wine
as a case of sour grapes. But even in
champagne countries there are signifi-
can tales of proprietors buying up
Normandy orchards of apples, and it
is stated that many owners of large
pear orchards in France are under con-
tract to send their entire produce to a
firm of wine merchants in the cham
payne district. Lord Palmerston is re-
ported to have told a deputation of the
trade who waited on him that there
was never a good champagne year in
France unless there was a good apple
crop in Normandy. However, though
perry, cider and gooseberry wine are
excellent drinks in their way, they. are
not Champagne" and perhaps the
public prefers to pay a little~more for
the higher-priced name.

they were released on the order OF
Ouray, head chief of all the Utes,
whose memory is to this day held in
high respect by all persons who khew

and many other tragical affairs. Alp
on regaining- their liberty the three
women who had so narrowly escaped
death were brought to their homei in
Greeley, where they lived in closed re
tirement till the death of Josephine
Meeker. Since that time Mrs. Meeker
has had with her always her daughter
Rosine.
That home has ever had and to this
day has a peculiar interest, amounting
almost to fascination for the people OF
Greeley and for visitors to that beau
tiful little town. Set out on the al
most treeless plain, the town has a
wealth of trees and fine wide streets
and above all a certain look of pros
perity which shows that Greeley and
his friend Meeker were right after all.
On a shaded thoroughfare that leads to
the large and handsome stone and
brick buildings of the state normal
school stands, somewhat back from the
street in the midst of a large clump of
trees, the quaint, rambling adobe
house, so different from most of the
houses of the town.
When the building 0. this house IN
1870 was laid the foundation of the

at the agency and he refused to quit
the place.
At last Major Thomas T. Thornburg,
commanding Fort Steele, Wyoming,
was sent with three troops of cavalry
and one company of infantry to march
across the country to the White River
reservation. This precipitated the ac-
tual outbreak. Thornburg's command
was ambushed, himself and all but n
of his officers and a large number Of
his men were killed, and only the time
ly arrival of General Wesley Merritt
with a large force of soldiers, after the
ambushed men had fought six days
behind their intrenchments, saved the
little band from total extinction.
Immediately upon learning that Cap
tain Jack and his braves had ambush
ed Thornburg's command Chief Doug
lass and twenty warriors, abandoning
all pretense, attacked the agency build
ings. MI. Meeker had with him there
two members of his family-his wife
and his daughter Josephine. They, ac-
companied by Mrs. Price, wife of the
agency blacksmith, upon the first
alarm, ran to the milkhouse and smut
themselves in. Agent Meeker and
every man at the agency was shot
down and scalped. From their pitt
full place of hiding the women heard
the sounds of the butchery, but their
eyes were spared the sight of that hor-
ror. Then presently the Utes set fire
to the milkhouse and the women were
forced out, to be made captive and car
ried away by the marauding band.
For three weeks the three women
were held captive, borne helpless and
in agony of mind and body over rough
mountain trails and subjected to dire
full threats by the drunken Ute braves
almost every hour of the day. Then

Over all there is an atmosphere of

becomes his own true self again, in
spite of government rations and civ
ilizing influences. 1t was in 1878 that
N. G. Meeker, a philanthropist, teach
er and dreamer of the school of Elmer
son and other New England transcen-
dentalists, was appointed agent for the
White River Utes. 1t was at his own
request, for he thought that out of bar
barian and savage material a civilized
and industrious community might be
organized and valuable citizenship Gre
ated. He had already founded the col
ony at Greeley, with the support and
encouragement of the editor of the
Tribune. From the start it had pros
pered, and, seeing that it's success and
usefulness was assured, Mr.. Meeker
longed to devote his energies and tai
ents to the uplifting of the red men.
His benevolent regime. which was
rigid enough in it's discipline, was not
suited to the control of the Utes. They
became FESTIVE under restraint, chafed
to the limit of their endurance, and
finally broke all bounds and began to
harrass the settlers. Property was
stolen, cabins were fired and terror
was spread for miles round the reser-
walton. The influence of the good chief
Ouray was fora time strong enough to
hold back the eager warriors from the
warpath. Four chiefs under the lead
ership of Captain Jack paid a visit to
Governor Pitkin. They wanted the
agent removed. They said he had or
dered them to work and the Utes
would not work. They wanted none
