UTE INDIANS ACTING
NAUGHTY IN WYOMING
Band Of Seven Hundred From White
Rock Reservation Killing Stock
and Robbing Rsnchers.

Salt Lake City.--A special to the
Herald from Cheyenne. Wyo., says
seven hundred Ute Indians are slaugh.
| tering cattle and sheep, robbfng
ranches and committing other depre-
dations in the vicinity OF Douglas, on
the Platte river, $50 miles north OF
Cheyenne They are in an ugly mood
and refuse to return to their reserva-
ton at White Rock, Utah. Mesisko, a
Ute chief, is at the head OF the band.
Eggleston, a Sioux renegade, and
Redcap, who are said to have driven
old man Meeker at the Meeker mas
sacre, and Red Jacket Jane, the squaw
who gave the Indians the alarm when
the soldiers came, are also with the
party. The three latter are trouble
makers and hate all whites.
The Indians have little or no money
Or provisions. Occasionally they sell
a pony and with the money buy flour
and ammunition. All are well armed.
Agent Hall of the White Rock agency
has been following the reds ever since
they entered Wyoming two weeks ago,
but they have repeatedly refused to
return to their reservation. Agent
Hall wired the department for instruc
tons, and in all probability troops will
be hurried to Douglas from the Grow
Creek maneuver camp. RanchmeD
and townspeople in the vicinity OF
Douglas are arming and a conflict ap
pears to be inevitable. Should an out
break occur the Indians could massa
ere many settlers before troops could
reach the scene, although there are
1000 infantry, 1920 cavalry and 500
artillery in the Crow Creek camp, 1870
miles away.
