GRAVE|S !
LOCATED
Grave Of the Famous Old
Chief Will Be Marked
By Fine Monument TO
Cost $1O,OOO.OO

The final resting place of the body
of Ouray, the famous Ute chief, will
be definitely known in a few days,
Buckskin Charlie, Ouray's surviving
friend, himself chief, has consented
to lead party to the spot as soon
as the snow has melted little more.
When the grave is definitely located
0c0 and erect suitable monument
over the indian statesman's bones.
Buckskin Charlie is the only living
man who knows where the grave is
To be sure. there is grave at Ig-
nacio which is marked "Ouray," but
the body of Ouray has not lain there
for twenty years. 1t was secretely
taken up by the Utes, and carried TO
the summit of mountain on the
Pine river. not far from Durango. and
there buried
None but Buckskin Charlie knows
why the body was removed-whether
from some religious belief, or because
the Indians did not want the grave
desecrated by the visits of the whites,
or whether the old chief himself had
asked to be buried on the mountain
top far from the haunts of men. OF
that band Buckskin Charlie alone sur
wives, and in the knowledge that with
his death will pass the only hope OF
ever locating the grave. Eugene Grubb
and Indian Agent Werner have in
duced the old Indian to show them
the grave.
Ouray was born in 1888 at Taos,
N. NJ. He was mixture of Apache
and Ute and inherited the bravery
OF one and the diplomacy of the other
is father was Tabeguache Ute, his
mother a Jicarilla Apache. He was
reared among the better class OF Mex
lean rancheros, and received fair
education. When he was Is years old
he Joined the Utes which had con-
federated-the Tabeguaches, Capotes,
Winneneuches and other branches.
He lived for time at Los Pintos agen-
cy, near Gunnison, with his squaw,
Chipeta, Tabeguache. Later they
moved to a place near the present
town of Montrose, which did not ex-
ist then.
Ouray was wise enough to see the
futility of fighting the white man, and
he always restrained his people when
he could. After the famous Meeker
massacre, which was committed with
out his knowledge, he compelled his
warriors to release. unharmed. the
white women and children they had
captured. By this he mollified the
whites. and not a man of his tribe
was ever punished for the outbreak.
Ouray died at the Southern Ute
agency in 1880. He was already
known as a statesman of no ordinary
ability. and since his death he has
been even more highly appreciated

MILLINERY OPENING.

Miss +. Winters is having her spring
millinery opening today and the won
derful array OF hats on exhibition ID
receiving no end OF admiration from
the feminine public.
The dress hats which by the way
are as huge as ever are effectively
trimmed with willow plumes or q
profusion Of flowers-not the floral
iniquities perpetrated upon US last
year-but flowers most artistically
grouped. The shapes are varied and
exceedingly attractive. Among the
popular color combinations black and
white, black and burnt and black and
natural lead in popularity. Occasion
ally in the trimming you find q tiny
rose stuck into an ostrich feather.
The shapes OF the street hats are
the very queerest ever donned by those
who vigorously pursue Dame Fashion.
but they are nevertheless beauties.
The tendency in these days seems to
be toward the small shapes. especially
turbans and the hood and helmet ef.
fects. The helmet Is quaint affair
which, when pushed down over the
hair. leaves the nose peeking out sau-
cily. Here and there dab OF ribbon,
feather or beads, II you please, ap-
pear In the most unexpected places.
In the street hats there Is . great
variety OF colors. pastel shades are
quite the proper thing. Coral. a new
shade OF red. Is said to be ultra-fash-
ionable. Some OF the crowns are
round. some almost triangular In shape.
Feathers used for trimming these hats
seems to have been severely tamper-
ed with as far as coIoring Is concern
ed but they are mighty pretty when
on the hats.
Women are loath to part with velvet
that has been so much in evidence
the past season and velvet butter
files, velvet pin wheels, velvet pip
ings, velvet buttons and belvet bows
are extensiely used in the trimming.
Collapsible turbans made OF soft
braid bid fair to be popular with the
young women.
The ready-to-wear hats for misses
and girls are especially pretty. Usu-
ally OF Java, patent Milan. or the
rough Jap bralds In white or cream
color, or tuscan, in some form Of
the mushroom shape so becoming to
young girls. with delicate colored
drapes and sashes of Empire. Dres-
den. or quaint Indian designs, they are
piquant framing for the girlish faces.
The little folks are provided for
with many novel Ideas In patent Mi

as hand made shapes OF braid and
webbing. The pressed shapes are near
ly all on the mushroom order. In the
hand made hats some OF the prettiest
are In quaint bonnet and poke effects.
For the babies and little tots there
is an elaborate line OF Tuscan and
webbing hoods and small round hAts
These were trimmed with, ribbons.
sometime with tiny sprays Of forget
