INDIAN WAR
COMES TO AN END
General Scott Captures Old Polk and
Others Single Handed and
Brings Them In.

| United Press Leased Wire Service.
BLUFF, Utah, March 20.-The Pi
Ute Indian uprising In Utah Is over.
Brigadier General Scott, chief of staff
of the United States army. returned
here today with Old Poolk, Tse-Ne-
Cat and other renegades. as his pris-
oners General Scott took the m
dams single-handed Six men had
been killed and many wounded IN
earlier fighting between the Indians
and members of the posse headed by
U. S. Marshal Nebeker
In addition to Old Polk and his son
whose arrest was sought an MUIR
der charge, General Scott brought
with him, Chief Posey and the lat.
ter's eldest son.
Scott effected the capture Of the
renegades without firing shot. Nava-
10 runners located the Indians near
the Navajo mountains for the gener.
al and it was through the friendly
Navajos that Scott conducted his ne
gotiations. He was able to convince
Old Polk and his followers that they
would be given fair play by the gov
eminent If they would peacefully
surrender.
Virtually taking his life in his
hands, believed here, General Scott
dismissed the posse which had been
in Bluff for more than a month, and
entered the Indian country, accom-
panied only by his aide and his In
dian guides. Scott was confident
from the start that he could con-
vince the Indians they would be Civ.
en- a square deal and refused to per.
NIT any display Of force.
The arrival Of General Scctf and
the Indian prisoners created the
greatest excitement here. The In.
dams were sullen and silent and few
details Of their capture were di.
vulged Heavy storms were encoun.
tered which delayed the party in
reaching Bluff.

with the murder of a Mexican about
a year ago. He will probably be
turned over to the courts. What pun.

one white man we're killed and one
white and many Indians were wound
ed in the fighting between United
States Marshal Nebeker's posse and
the Indians a month ago Among
those killed was a little Indian girl
who was SfOL tnTOuSH lie iOOL aHu
bled to death.
The first fight occurred on Sunday
when the posse attempted to sur
round the Indian stronghold. They
were met by wild war whoops and
fusillades Of shots and for two days
fighting continued at intervals.
The feat of General Scott in captur
ing the warning Indians alone, whers
a posse of more than fifty men ha6
failed. is another personal triumph
for the veteran commander. He has
been sent on eleven such expedition:
by the government, most Of them IN
connection with Indian uprising IL
this country; others were in the Phil
ippines.
To reach the Indian country it was
necessary for him to travel nearly
100 miles by blackboard and on horse
back. Heavy SHOWS were encounter
ed and the entire trip was marked b!

COTTON FEATURED BY HEAVY BUYING Market Rose Twenty-Seven Points Over Yesterdays

GINNING FIGURES CAUSE LIQUIDATION The Cotton Market Closed Steady With Net Gains
 for Day

New York. September s.-Rather larger ginning figures than expected caused some scattered liquidation in the cotton market early today, but sharp advances followed on the bullish weekly weather report with most of active months making new high ground for the movement December contracts sold up from 1913 to 1o.S5c. and the market closed steady at a net gain of from 13 to F points for the day.
 The opening was i to 4 points lower and active months sold about to points under yesterdays closing figures during the first few minutes. October easing off to 9.Soc and January to 10.2sc, but offerings were readily taken around this level and the market soon steadied. The census report showing 46,S57 bales ginned to September 1, against 4S0,3l7 bales last year, and 799099 bales two years ago, seemed responsible for most of the early selling, but smaller figures had been expected only because of the unsettled weather, and the showing evi- dently failed to exert any influence on ideas as to the probable size of the crop.
 The forecast for lower temperatures in the southwest probably helped to check the early selling movement while the firm opening of the stock market en- couraged the optimistic view of the Hes perian affair. and bullish sentiment was also prompted to some extent by the census figures on worlds consumption for the year ending July 3.
 The market became more active after the publication of the weekly weather report which led to predictions of bull fish October bureau report and dis tinct broadening of general demand, with part of the buying attributed to south ern mill interests. The close was within or 3 points of the best.

bULL|SH SENTIMENT
 IN WHEAT MARKET
Prices Take Slight Advance on Government and
 Weather Reports

Chicago. September S.-Wheat advanced in price today, owing to an errone Jus belief that the government crop estimate would prove a help to the bulls. The close was firm. M@1c to 1%c net higher with September e37sc and December at 91it@91Ac. Corn lost IS to 1ssc and oats hdM to AGetc. The result in provisions varied frcm 10c decline to rise of 5c.
 Bullish sentiment regarding wheat ap- peared to be more general than has been the case for nearly a month. The great majority of traders were acting on the assumption that the crop report from Washington this afternoon would indi- cate a material reduction in the prob able yield of winter wheat. It was until after business was over for the day that the report was at hand show ing the winter crop estimate to be the same as a month previous, whereas the spring crop was figured as much more abundant than had generally been looked for.
 Wet weather, which retarded the move ment of wheat in the northwest as we'll as in some of the winter crop states had good deal to do with stimulating buyers. especially at the outset The ab- sence of any export buying tended later, however. to cause moderate setback from the top prices of the session.
 Corn weakened owing chiefly to cor rect predictions that the government crop report would suggest 8 big Neld High temperatures today throughout the belt operated also to nullify an early ad- vance that resulted from sympathy with wheat. Wet weather prevented any de- cided lowering of quotations on oats. The government report as to oats was about as generally expected
