Ute Uprising
On Frontier;
Fear Massacre
Settlers Fear Meeker HOr.
rOr Repetition by
Rowing Braves.

DOUGLAS, New, Aug. 21.-Seven
hundred Ute Indians are off the res
eryation here and they have spread
terror among the farming folk.
So great is the number of the
warriors that the authorities are
helpless. The Indians are defying
the town and county officials and
are committing havoc wherever they
go. They have broken into scores
of homes, routed out the farmers
and their families, and ransacked
the houses. They have driven of
cattle, sheep, and horses by the
thousands.
\ repetition of the Meeker mas
sacre is feared. Every report tells
of bolder outrages. The news from
the outlying ranches and small farm
districts is restricted today, and up
TO the early morning hours no muir
ders have been reported.
1t is believed that only the pres
ence of Federal troops will restore
order.
If the outrages continue, an APP
peal for Federal aid will be made
today.

NEGRO ASSAILANT
Of LITTLE CHILD
IS SENT TO JAIL
Mary Rogers BeatenOyer
Head With Whip by
James Electricity.

The sympathy of officers and
spectators in the Police Court was
stirred deeply this morning when
little Mary Rogers, the eleven-year-
old daughter of Policeman Rogers,
stood before Judge Mills with her
right eye bloodshot and almost
closed and her face badly bruised.
James Electricity, a negro, about
twenty years of age, struck the
little girl in the face with the butt
of a whip Saturday evening.
The man was sent TO Jail for
thirty days.
Mary, was playing with her com
panions in front of Policeman Rog-
ers' home, at 1890 Monroe street
northeast, when Electricity drove
up in a delivery wagon The chill
dren were romping about the street
and, in a spirit of fun, jumped upon
the rear end of the wagon.
Electricity. the police say, used the
yilast language toward the little girls
and told them he intended to beat them
The children poked bit of fun at him.
In a fit of anger he rushed toward the
defenseIess girls. They ran from him
and screamed for help When he was
within reach he brought the butt end
of his whip down on little Marys head
The blood began gushing from the
wound inflicted by the steel at the end
of the whip The little girl lay help
less and almost unconscious until taken
nm bv her playmates and carried into the
house. Electricity hurried away from
the scene, but was later found IN hiding
When an officer took Electricity from
the prisoners dock this morning, he
shook with fear. His face was dtstort-
ed and his voice Quivered as he talked
In a half-Witted manner ana In voice
which was hardly audible, he entered
Plea OF not guilty.
''He tried to kill me and my play
mateg.'' said the little girl.
I'VE were just having fun and meant
no harm We were just playing and
talking as most girls do. When We tried
to get on the wagon he ran after US
He struck me a terrible blow with
something and / hardly knew anything
after that for many hours.
Little Mary positively identified the
negro when an officer brought him near
the stand where the child was testifying
District Attorney Jesse c. Adkins repre-
sented the prosecution. while the priS-
oner was without counsel.

EXPRESS COMPANIES
CHARTERS IN DANGER
Suits Brought Against Adams, Ameri-

Violation.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, Aug. H.-suits
have been filed by the local prosecutor
and state railroad commission on reIa-
ton Of the State against the Adams, the
American. and the United States Ex-
press companies, charging them wiin
habitual failure to obey the law in re-
spect to express package delivery and
asking that their charters be revoked.
At the same time mandate suits to CON-
pei deliveries and tor the collection of
the $500 penalties for failure were nled.
The companies establish their own de-
livery limit. while the law says ,hcy
shall deliver without extra charge to
any point within a corporated city hav-
ing a population Of $500 or more. The
companies refuse to make deliveries out

these have joined with the negro NAL
contents in facing the flames Of sedi-

ranks a percentage of honest men vino
regard Palma as too friendly with the
Americans, and who suspect him Of Sc

These elements constitute q force
which will take all the power of the
government 10 subdue and which may
