READY TO CHARGE
ON PI-UTE INDIANS
Marshal, and Posse May Attack Old
Polk and Other savages, En-
trenched In Canon.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.
DOLOREZ, Colo, Feb. 26.-While a
heavily armed posse surrounded the
band of Pi-Ute Indians in the canon
near Bluff, another page of the history
of the American Indian was being
enacted today. Preparations are be-
ing made for the transfer Of upwards
OF 100 friendly braves and squaws
from lands they have occupied in the
Bluff region to the Ute reservation.
The friendly Indians were rounded up
by government agents and scouts. It
was another case of Indians being
forced to move on. in the face of
constantly advancing whites.
1t has been charged that the trou-
BILE about Bluff is really a "cattlemen's
war; the attempt to arrest Hatch, the
outlaw, being seized as an opportunity
to war upon all of his people that
they might be driven from the lands
they have occupied.
The friendly Indians are being sent
to the reservation, it was said, to re-
move them from the influence of the
hostile Pi-Utes. When the word was
passed through the camp, squaws
walled and wept. The men at first
protested and then accepted the de-
cree in silence.
The agents and friendly Utes have
exhausted all efforts to persuade Old
Polk, Hatch and their followers in
Butler canon to surrender. 1t is be-
lieved that unless government agents
are able to make progress toward a
truce today, Marshal Nebeker will
order an assault upon the Indian po-
sition. The marshal declared he
would ask for United States troops
only in the event his posse failed in
its effort to rout the Indians in the
expected battle.

COLDER WEATHER
CHECKING FLOOD
River South OF keokuk is Falling
and Des Moines Seems to be
Less Active at the
Present Time.
CLOSED ABOVE DUBUQUE
Cold Weather Which 10 Keeping
Back Water Seems to Minir-
ize Danger for Present
at Least.

/ Although the Mississippi has been
rising at the rate of three or four
inches per day from Davenport to Keo-
kuk, the Des Moines has been falling,
and the river south of Keokuk Is fall
ing, and local weather officials do not
look for flood dangers at the present
time.
Cold weather above Dubuque where
the river seems to be closed, is hold
ing back any influx OF water here. 1t
is admitted that when the ice does
break up at Dubuque, there may be
flood danger by the pouring in of this
water. However, by that time the
river south of here may have fallen
enough to take care Of the rise to the
north.
There seems to be an open space
south of Lacrosse but there is ice in
the river about Dubuque.
The report from Warsaw this morn.
ing was that the river began to fall
at that point today The Des Moines
river is said to be clearing of ice,
and the water of this tributary is be-
lieved to be falling. At any rate the
water south of Keokul is gradually
receding.
For time the Des Moines was a..
flood stage and with the ice in the
river, there was grave possibility
that it would overflow. The Missis-
sippi also was swollen in con-
sequence of tae warm wave OF several
days ago. Colder weather which is
said to be prevailing in the north is
helping to hold the waters in check for
the present at least. Whether the
breaking up Of the ice in the northern
river will bring food dangers here
later in the spring, remains to be seen.
