UTE UPRISING is

the band of 80 Ute Indians VINO lett
the Ute reservation Saturday rather
than deliver one of their tribesmen
Big Rabbit, to the civil authorities, or
the Indian agent, left their stronghold
in the Ute mountains early yesterday
morning.
John S. Shears, the Indian agent,
declares he does not know where the
Indians have gone, whether back to
the reservation or further into the
range. If the Indians are on the res
ervation, however, they have not been
located and are in hiding.
So threatening has the attitude of
the Utes become that the white citi-
zens OF southwestern Colorado, in
the immediate vicinity of the reserva-
tion, have armed themselves and are
momentarily looking for a desperate
outbreak. The Utes, who have re-
mained on the reservation, are be-
coming greatly excited and it is be

resulting in the loss of three lives.
Cowley and Boozle afterwards
bought the boat and had several close

of the freak propensities OF Bear Cat

the owners. Finding an open stretch

WARSHIP may GO
TO MEXICO PORT

Washington, jan 81 - Disquieting
reports, of a grave situation at Vera
Cruz, Mexico, today. caused the state
department seriously to consider de-
taching one of the warships of the
first DIVISION of the Atlantic feet at
Guantanamo for immediate duty at
the Mexican port. If there is no reas-
suring news during the day this may
be done.
Continued disorders and widespread
rebel activities in southern Mexico,
in which official dispatches today say
small towns and ranches have been
attacked and pilTaged, women carried
off, and bandits demoralized the pop
ulace. aroused apprehension for the
safety of Americans in the disturbed
zone. That the Madero government
is providing little or no protection is
again in evidence.

Nagel warmly defended Taft's admin

United States. He said that criti-

been in nearly all cases entirely with
out warrant or based ON facts. Ere
quent comparisons between state
governments and the national govern
ment had been made to the detriment
of the latter, the secretary declared.
The country, he said, was politically
divided against itself, while CONNER
