The men who tore away the bridge re-
GENTLY constructed near Valley by the

chance to replace it in good condition, Rc-
cording to Commissioner Ure Of the road
committee. Mr.. Ure declared II tho bridge

time criminal charges will be filed against
the men, whose names are known to the
commissioners.
''If these men have a valid protest to
make to the board they may make 1t and
It will be considered after the bridge is
back in its place" said Mr. Ure. Thursday.
I'VE will not consider It with them, how
ever, until after the damage they have
done has been repaired. The commissioners
are doing what they believe to be best for
all the people in the community and that
is to construct bitches TO make the water
run along its natural course"
The bridge was torn up by several men
who objected to the digging OF a ditch
across the road to let the water through

INDIANS WOUNDED IN FIGHT
Three KnIed and Another wounded
In Contest with Troops
I'm Utah.

WASHINGTON Oct. 31.--In battle be-
tween United States troops and Indians
which occurred In southern Utah several
days ago. three persons we're killed au1
another was wounded. all believed TO have
been Indians. The news OF the occurrence
was conveyed to the Indian bureau In a
telegram from Superintendent Shelton OF
the San Juan agency. which. though dated
yesterday. was not received until today.
The army command consisted OF four Of
ficers, seventy-four men, and thres Indian
scouts. The telegram to the Indian bureau,
which was dated at Ship Rock, n. NJ, fol-
lows:
The troops have returned from southern
Utah. They arrested Bylillie and nine
other Indians. Three others were killed
and one wounded, while shooting at tho
Indians. The Indians are quiet, and do
not anticipate further trouble, unless It
be from the Black Mountain Indians.
The officials of the Indian bureau as
sumo that the killed and wounded were
Indians.
The Indians arrested are part OF a band
Of Nsvajos that have been making trouble
on their reservation in northwestern New
Mexico. A number OF Indians under lead
ership OF Bylillie have been creating dis
turbance because Of their disinclinetion to
observe the regulations. So offensive be-
came their actions that Superintendent
Shelton made a request that soldiers be
sent to the reservation. and troops l and
X of the Fifth cavalry. under Captain
Willard were despatched from Fort Win
gate N. NJ, to Aneth. Utah. the 22d
instant. II was not intended at the time
that their presence should mean any more
than a demonstration with a view OF
quieting effect.
The War department today received The
following. dated Thunder Bay. s. D., from
Captain Johnson, who was dispatched to
the Ute Indian camp in South Dakota
Visited Ute camp yesterday Found them
quietly waiting our arrival, expecting me
hold council with head men today and Will
report results of meeting Agent has dis
missed volunteer force and controls situa-
tion with Indian police. No immediate
danger to life and property.
Bylillie lives on the south side of the
San Juan river in Utah. about forty miles
northwest Of the Can Juan agency, and
has for some time past been making gem
eral opposition to the adoption Of the
white mans methods, going so far as to
threaten to kill the agent and some Of his
assistants. When some OF the friendly In
dians visited Byillie he refused to talk
with them, but challenged them to a fight.
The friendly Indians, who compose the
vast majority of the Navajoes, regard him
as a wizard and one Of them who died
few months ago attributed his illness to the
witchcraft OF the disaffected leader. They
have made many requests that Bylillie be
removed from the reservation and on
previous occasion he was driven out with
the admonition not to return. 1t Is pre-
sumed that when the troops appeared he
met them with force OF arms and was cap
sured while fighting, but not until four of
his followers had fallen.

In police court today to answer charge
OF criminal assault. upon which he was
arrested several days ago. No trace o!
him had been found up to the hour al
which he was to have been in court. how.
ever, although tho search for him had been
prosecuted steadily throughout the nlRht
and morning. One of other theories which
have been advanced as to what be-
came of Hitchcock after his fudden dis
appearance early yesterday are being run
down by the police and detectives. One
Of the first of these to be exploited was
that he took passage on the steamer Ma
jestic for Europe yesterday. Hitchcock's $
name was not on the passenger list. and
the officials Of the line said they had abso-
lutely no reason to believe that he is among
the Majestic's passengers.
Flora Zabelle, the missing actors wife,
who has a part in the Yankee Tourist"
company, in which Hitchcock had been
starring, was completely exhausted today
as the result of the strain OF the last
twenty-four hours. Despite the fact that
she wns apparently on the verge of a
breakdown she went through her part in
both the matinee and evening perform
ances Of Yankee Tourist After the
close Of the performance Mrs. Hitchcock
remained up all night assisting in directing
the search for her husband. She will not
listen to any theory which included fight,
insisting that she believes he has been
the victim of some plot. In support of her
contention she declares that Hitchcock
made absolutely no preparations for fight
as he had only a few dollars in money and
two or three rings with him when he left
the hotel yesterday morning.
