INDIAN OUTBREAK
A TRIBE OF UTEs ON THE WAR
 FAITH.
War Department Has Been Called on for Troops, Which VIII Be Rushed to the Scene of
 Disturbance.

Washington, Oct. 2G.--The tribe of Ute Indians, which, more than a year ago, wandered away from their reser- vation in Utah and created trouble in Colorado and wyomong by threatening to take the warpath and raid ranches, is reported to have again broken out of the Cheyenne River reservation in South Dakota, where the tribe was given temporary quarters.
 At the request of the Secretary of the Interior. the War Department im- mediately ordered troops from Fort Meade, s. D.. to the scene of the trouble. The character of the out break is not known here.
 Colonel Downs. a special agent of the Indian ofiice, is at the Cheyenne River reservation and a telegram was re- ceived from him saying that the Utes had become unrufy and troops are needed. Fort Meade 10 about 100 miles from the reservation. and 1t will be cross country hike as there ie no railroad between the two points
 It was dissatisfaction with advanc- ing civilization that caused the Utes to leave their reservation in Utah and take the road the last time. The Secre- tary of the Interior finally agreed that the Indians would not be compelled to return to Utah. but that they just set tie down on some reservation. At the Utes' request. the Cheyenne River res- ervation was selected and two town ships were leased for a period of five years, in order to supply them with homes. There are about 600 of the Utes that may be involved, including many young Indiana. among whom the greatest discomfort has been mani tested.

Troops Ready 10 Move.

Omaha, Neb.. Oct. 24.--A request was received at army headquarters from thesIndian agent at the Cheyenne res- ervation for troops from Fort Mead to subdue the Indians that were trans ferred to that reservation last year from Utah. No particulars of the out break were given.
 The regiment stationed at Fort Mead was recently sent to the Philippines. so there is no sufficient force there to send against the Indians. Orders were given for troops now at Fort Meade and those at Fort Robinson and the troops at Fort Des Moines to be in readiness to move on short notice.
