back in the gloom In front OF the stove

dirty hand.
Chris drew his cap low, pulled me-

tore off strip and, holding it carefully
open, sprinkled few clippings of to-
bacco upon it and rolled his cigarette.
He tucked it between his lips. 1t was

Already the steel was moving slowly

no groan. no cry, no answer, no sound,
but just the steady pounding of the
wheels over the contact. The little
switchman screamed again In a frenzy
and, turning, raced stumbling up the
track to the cab. He swung into it and
by signs made the engineer shut off.
He tried to talk and only stammered a
lingo of switch pidgin and the name of
Shock1ey. They couldn't understand it
all. but they shut off with faces pinch
door and, grabbing their lanterns, ran
back. The fireman, on his knees. held
his lamp out under the fat that span

back and, rising, started on the run
for the depot to rouse Callahan.
1t was Callahan who pulled the pin
moment later, Chris shiyering like a
rabbit at his side. It was Callahan
who gave the slow pull ahead order
that cut the train in two at the frog
and Callahan who stepped, wavering,
from the gap that opened behind the
receding flat-back from something be-
tween the rails-back to put his hands
blindly out for the target rod and I'M
steadily upon 1t. He heard Shockley
breathing.
Some carried the headlight back, and
some tore the door off box car, and
they got him on. They carried him I'M
evenly, stumbling, over to the depot.
They laid him on Callahan's mattress
in the waiting room, and the men
stood all about him, but the only
sound was his breathing, and inside
under the lamp the receiver, clicking,

They twisted tourniquets into his

face to face about him-to the engineer
and to the fireman and to little Chris

Chris bent over him, but try as he
would he could not catch the words.

UINTAH INDIANS
AND LIQUOR
IMPORTANT DECISION
United States Court Of Utah De-
cIares it Cannot Prevent Sale of
Intoxicants TO the Redman on
the Uintah Reservation.

That the U. S. Court no long
er has Jurisdiction over the sale
Of liquor to the Indians in the Uin-
tab reservation was decided on Tues
day afternoon in Salt Lake City. in an
opinion handed down by Judge John
A. Marshall, of the United States dist
rict court
This announcement will be read
with much interest in Grand juno
ton especially by people who are
familiar with the conditions in the
reservation which is not far distant
from theis city.
The case in point was that of the
United States against George Boss.
who had been indicted for introduc-
ing intoxicating liquors into the Uin-
tab Indian agency and school reserve.
Boss demurred to the indictment and
raised the question of the Jurisdiction
of the United States court, claiming
that the action must be begun in the
district court of the state rather
than the federal court. The court
held with Boss that the case did not
fall within the Jurisdiction of the
United States federal court and the
demurrer was sustained.
The case is an important one as
touching the Indian questions of
Utah. The question is new one and
will establish a precedent in like
prosecutions.
The memoranda of the decision is
very full and the geographical and
historical significance of the Uintah
reservation is fully discussed. The
opinion of the court carefully traces
the history OF the reservation from
its creation and each act of congress
or state law touching on the govern
ment of the Indians within the res
ervation is cited.
The United States law forbids the
introduction of intoxicating liquors
into any Indian reservation. How
ever, the land of the Uintah. agency,
has been allotted to the different In
dams of the reserve, so that in the
opinion OF the court the law of the
United States governing reservations
is no longer applicable and Indians
and other occupants of the land are
amenable to the state laws.
The Uintah Indian reservation was
created by a proclamation of Presi-
dent Lincoln, October 80, 1861. On
March II, 1902, by an act of congress.
the land in the reservation was allot-
ed to each of the Indians. and on
July IL, 1905, n bill passed congress
setting aside the unalloted lands for
the Uintah Indian school and agency.
From the time of the allotment of
the land, according to the decision,
this land passed from the control of
the government and came under the
laws of the state. Therefore, any
prosecution for the sale or introduc-
tion of Intoxicating liquors in this
territory must be begun in the dis
trict coure of the state and not in the
United States court.
The decision of the United States
appellate court in a similar case which
had to do with alleged introduction
of intoxicating liquors in the Nez
Perce reservation in Idaho was cited
by the court in support of this view
of the case.
