Last week a business man could not

UTE INDIANS MAKING TROUBLE
Four Troops of Cavalry from Fort
Meade Sent to Scene on
Cheyenne River.

WASHINGTON, oct. 24-rhe Ute Indians
Who, more than a year ago, wandered away
from their reservation I'm Utah and created
trouble in Colorado and Wyoming by
threatening to take the warpath and raid
ranches, are reported to have again broken
out on the Cheyenne river reservation in
South Dakota, where they were given tenn
porary quarters. At the request of the
Interior department the War department
today ordered troops from Fort Meade
S. D., TO the scene of the trouble. The
cause OF the outbreak is not known.
Colonel Downs, a special agent OF the
Indian Office. is at the Cheyenne River
reservation, and a telegram was received
from him saying that the 6Utes had become
unruly. Fort Meade is about 100 miles from
the reservation and it will be necessary for
the cavalry to make a cross-country
hike" as there is no railroad between the
two points
II was dissatisfaction with civilization
that caused the Utes to leave their reser-
walton in Utah and take the road the last
time.
The secretary OF the interior finally
agreed that the Indians would not be COM
PEELED to return to Utah. but that they
must settle down on some reservation. AT
was selected, and two townships were
leased for a period Of Ave years in order ia
supply them with homes.
There are about 600 of the Utes that may
be involved, including many young
Indians. among whom the greatest dis
content has been manifested.
At army headquarters here It was stated
that in response TO the request Of the
| Interior department four troops of the
| Second cavalry at Fort Meade, near the
Cheyenne river reservation, had been sent
! TO the scene. Little was known by the
officers here as TO the trouble either what
1t was about or its extent. 1t was no;
thought to be serious. however, but as
the settlers in that vicinity were much
| alarmed, as a precautionary measure II was
| deemed best to send the troops They ex-
pressed confidence in the ability Of the
! force at Fort Meade to cope with the
situation.

before the beginning Of the present furry
on Wall street
while there were no marked indications

peared to be an unusual degree OF suspicion
and uncertainty among the moneyed men
who made their headquarters at the Wal
dorf- Astoria. did not think much of II
at the time, but looking back l can see
what II meant.
IL do not think the financial furry will
have any effect In the west. II II con-
tinued for a long time II probably would
have an effect But the west with its
tremendous powers of production Is rap
idly becoming the financial center Of the
country and Is not readily affected by
temporary flurries in the east Our banks
out here have more money than they can
| use locally and are investing it in eastern
securities our prosperity is on solid
foundation and I am not in the least
| alarmed.
MOrEans Help the situation.
"'The action of some Of tho moneyed men
| like Morgan in rushing to the assistance
OF weakened institutions will cause the
situation to better itself naturally. 1 look
| for a return of confidence and a rise in
values The present furry, If it had oc-
CURED few years ago, under the condi-
! tions then. might have been very serious.
but with the conditions in the west as they
are do not expect any further trouble"
