! 'UTS HOLD WAR DANCE
While Their Representatives Were in Conference With tue Military
 Authorities
FEAR OF coLoRED TROOPS

Butte, Mont, Nov 3.-A special to
 the Miner from Sheridan. Wyo, says:
 The latest report received at Arvada
 says the conference between the mili-
 tary and the Ute Indians was still in session last evening when the mes, senger left. The conference is being held between the soldiers and the
 Ute camp fifteen miles northeast of Moorhead. The chiefs in attendance, who were sent by the band with power to act, are Red Cap. Unknah- kin and Ponnap. Chief Black Whis- kers stayed with the Ute band. Be- fore leaving for the council the Utes held dance in the open and solemn ly discussed the situation. At the conference the chiefs were offered transportation for the tribe and it's ponies back to Utah and rations dur ing the winter. A promise to consld- CT the matter of allowing them a new hunting ground next spring was also made. The Indian chieftains hesi- tated over the matter of hunting grounds, and wanted definite prom ise that they would be allowed to re- turn to Powder river in the spring. During the council the three chiefs would frequently leave the circle and talk between themselves. The In dians are favorable to an agreement, as they seem to be yielding to the arguments of Major Grierson, Colonel Rogers and Captain Johnson. It is stated on authority of the white resi- dents living at Sheridan, now with Major Grierson on Buffalo creek, that for two nights and one day the sec ond squadron of the Tenth under Captain Johnson was secreted in the hills eight miles north of Moorhead, the colored troops being in fear of their lives. No fire or lights were permitted during this time, and the horses and mules were escorted to water only under cover of darkn<ss.
 They remained there until the ar. rival of Colonel Rogers and the Sixth, when their forces were deemed sufficiently strong to combat the In- dian camp nearby in case of attack. The hurried trip of the Sixth from Fort Meade established a record in the movement of such bodies, 145 miles being covered in twenty-two hours.

RULES MUST BE oBEYED.
Board of Education Will Not Allow
 Children to Work.

The board of education is having a lot of trouble with the parents of boys and girls who look older than they are. Once in a while agents of the state board of education find a boy or girl in some factory who should be at school. They got into the factory during the summer vaca- tion and remained there rather than go back to school after vacation was over. When the state agents finds them, back to school they have to go and then the local board of educa- tion is called upon by the boys or girls parents. They usually tell sad tale of large family and insult ficient means and the wages their boy or girl was making in the shop was a great help and they don't see how they can get along without 1t. Such is the story the board has to listen to. but it avails not, for the rules must be obeyed. Unless pupil has passed the fifth grade and is un- der 16 he must remain at school no matter what his home circumstances may be.

LATE POLITICAL NEWS.
Friends of Walter and Lilley Look to
 Democrats for Support.

A great effort is being made all
 over the city to convince democrats
 that they owe 1t to themselves to
 vote for George L. Lilley because he is Waterbury man, and it is said
 that a few people who ought to know
 better are gullible enough to be mis-
 led by such rot. It isn't long ago
 since Mir Bronson of New Haven, a native of Waterbury. was running for governor, but republicans who
 were asked to vote for him on that
 account considered 1t an insult and
 dismissed those who put 1t to them
 that way that they were more con-
 cerned in methods than In men. A
 man who claims to be a democrat
 and makes practice of voting
 against democratic nominees right
 along and boasting of it is strange sort of fellow, to say the least, and
 has no business being handed a chair
 in the democratic camp.
 A few weeks ago great movement was being perfected to slash MT Wal- ter, republican candidate for sheriff.
 but for some reason or other 1t fell through or probably the boys are working in the dark and don't in- tend to show their hand until the time comes to step into the fray. It was said to-day that the opposition to MT Walter was the result of mis- and that his foes have laid down their arms. Probably this is true, but Mir Walter is so long before the public 1t would seem that nothing very new could have been trotted out about him just now. If 1t be true that he was partial in the past 1t will be extremely difficult for him to be anything different in the future, and besides 1t Is so funny how he could have lived SO long un- der a cloud without somebody setting him right.
 Now that it seems pretty certain that the Consolidated road is 10 take over the trolley company's property. the lighting plants included. 1t might not be a bad idea for the aldermen to take up the matter of installing a lighting plant once more and see what luck they will have in Hartford this time. A few years ago the aldermen made a thorough inves- tigation of this matter and satisfied themselves that there was big money in it. The board then instructed the rity attorney to prepare and lave passed an act authorizing the city to ,ngage in the business. Mir Lilley was in Hartford at the time and the ildermen thought 1t wouldn't be ncc- ,ssary to ask him to push this meas ire. thinking he would rally to it as , matter of duty. but in order to make sure the board passed vote him to give 1t a boost How much notice did he take of this

Farm Fire in Dunkirk.

Fire destroyed the farm residence of
Harmon Ell. Hoover at an early hour
Monday morning in the town of Dun
kirk on the west Cooksville road a
couple of miles sout ID f Stoughton. 1t
caught in the roof and burned down to
the ground. AS soon as the blaze was
discovered the family began moving the
household furniture and succeeded in
saving most of it, leaving that which was
too heavy for handling quickly. The
blaze also extended to the windmill.
Owing to to the wind blowing away from
the outbuildings none of them were
burned. Mr.. Hoover has rented his farm
for the ensuing year but the tenant must
have house in which to live, for that
reason Mr.. Hoover must of necessity
erect another dwelling this fall. The
property was insured in the Albion Mu-
tual for less than its value.
