Wilson and Garrison Criticised
for Sending Chief Of staff
to Bring in Redskins.

WAsHINGroN, March 2i.-Compiete
success of his undertaking to bring in
pesceably tho renegade Piute Indians
wanted by Federal authorities in Utah
was reported to the Secretary OF War
to-day by Brig Gen. Hugh l.. Scott,
chief Of stan or the Army. who because
OF his success in dealing with Indians
was sent on the mission. Secretary
Garrison at once sent a congrstulatory
message to the General.
Gen. SCOTS efforts brought TO an end
a virtual state OF warfare a
band of piutes and Federal authorities
In Utah during which six persons were
killed and several wounded. The Piutes
defied the civil authorities as a result OF
an attempt TO arrest indian involved
In n murder case.
Gen. SCOTS telegram was the first
word from him in more than a week. as
he had to go seventy-fve miles across
country on horseback to reach the place
where the Indians had taken their stand.
His message to-day was as follows:
successful. Have four Piutes de-
sired by Marshal Nebeker and am at
their desire personally conducting them
to Salt Lake city to turn them over to
Marshal Nebeker. Am leaving every
thing peaceable behind us In south
Utah. should reach ~Thompson's Tues
day and Salt Lake Wednesday"
To this message Secretary Garrison
sent the following reply addressed TO
Gen. Scott at Blum. Utah. the first point
' the General reached from which he was
able to communicate by wire

seemed to make II impossible. ] appre.

Wholly aside from the fact that Gen.
Scott was probably the one officer OF
the Government best fitted for the mis-
sion which he has now successfully ac-
complished. the action OF the President

TO Utah ON this crrand has been Sc
vcrely criticised here.
