one end of the reservation to the other. Added to the original facts was wild rumor that the troops were go. ing to expel the Utes from their old hunting grounds Like wildtire the tidings-false and true alike-spread from village to village. The tribe sprang to arms. A large band of Ute braves fell upon the advancing sol diers at Milk River, near the reserva- tion's northernmost boundary. Thorn burgh and thirteen of his troopers were killed and the horses of the en. tire command were captured The rest of the soldiers defended them. selves as best they could behind for. tifications that had been hastily thrown up. And here, for days, they were be. sieged by the furious savages
 On the same day that Thornburgh was killed party of Utes swooped down upon the local agency buildings Meeker was killed, as was every man in his employ. The white women and children of the agency were captured, but were later released unharmed
 Meantime General Merritt and strong force of regulars hurried to the rescue of the besieged survivors of Thornburghs command. Ouray sent word to all concerned that the whole uprising had taken place without his knowledge He claimed that at first news of it he had thrown himself heart and soul into the task of making his people return peacefully to their homes. Angry settlers retorted that Indians did not usually embark on a campaign without sanction or knowl- edge of their chief
 Ourays Triumph.
 He filled the air with protestations of his good will toward everybody in general and Merritt in particular He assured the officers that Meeker's slayers should be given up to justice, and made glittering promises for his tribes future good behavior The up- shot of the matter was that Ourays fervent pledges and declarations won the day.
 But Ouray's diplomacy carried all before it. The murderers of Meeker and the assailants of Thornburghs force escaped unpunished The wise old chieftain lived only a few months after scoring his diplomatic victory He died on Los Pinos Agency, Colo rado, August 27 1880, in his sixtietb year.
