LEUPP HAS HARD PROBLEM
Clothing Of the Renegade Utss Pressing for
Immediate Attention.
IN NO CONDITION TO WITHSTAND WHITE
Bureau Has No Money in siGht -
Devote ca the PurpOse. but COn-
missioner says He WIN
Find . way.


WASHINGTON. Nov. 24-(speclal Tele-
gram)-Commissloner Of Indian Affairs
Leupp today received a letter from General
Greely TO the effect that the renegade
White River Utes from Utah would un-
doubtedly arrive at Fort Meade, 8. D..
today. In his letter General Greeley em-
phasized the destitutlon Of these wandering
Indians particularly as to the need OF
clothing to protect them from the wlntry
weather which they will encounter in
the camp selected for them in South Da-
kota.
Commissioner Leupp is sore pressed to
find the money necessary for the unusual
outlay put upon the service. He said to-
day that in casting about he found small
emergency fund he could draw upon, but
that it was wholly inadequate to meet the
demands of the Indians, as their condition
is represented to him by General Greedy
today. However. said Commissioner Leupp,
the Indian bureau will find some way Of
clothing them and there is no probability
that there will be any suffering on the
part Of the Utes through any lnattention
Of this bureau as to food and clothing.
They will be taken care of in some manner
during the winter and In the spring It Is
hoped the chiefs will have had an oppor-
discuss matters and be convinced that It
is best for their people to return to their
reservation and take up their sllotments
and cultivate the land. ..
