from beneath him.. and had run of several
bands of cattle. ron investigation" Agent
Reynolds says in his report to the indian
commissioner. 81 find that there Is abso-
lutely no truth in these reports, that they
are false in every particular. and there Is
no ground upon which to base such re-
ports There has evidently been desire
on the part of a number Of people to create
a feeling against the Utes such as would
tend to arouse an antagonistic feeling
among. the citizens OF Wyoming against
them" .a
