FLUTES, DROPPING. WARE ARE, GUESTS AT PEACE DINNER
ccontinued from Page D

we sent 8 friendly Piute called 'fJin's Boy,' out to tell the Flutes that I wanted to see them. Some of them came in near where we were camped but it was not until the third day that any dared to come Do the camp.
 sPosey and four other Indians then came into camp. We talked a little through a NavaJoe interpreter. It was in the evening and I told them I did not feel very well and did not want to talk to them until the next day. They helped us kill a beef and we gave them a good meal the first they had had for weeks. They were poorly clad and we gave them some blankets. Posey and his men did not have any weapons but have req son to suspect that they had hidden them in the rocks nearby.
 'rTha next day Polk and Hatch and about 25 others came in to see me. I asked them to tell me their troubles. They said the cowboys had come in the daylight on horseback and sur rounded them, shot their children and wounded Q. sQuaw. They said they did not like the cowboys. It seem ed they had previously had troubles with the cowboys
 Then I told them some of my troubles. told them I did not think they would like to have their children chased by soldiers and cow- boys all over the mountains and kill ed. I told. them that I wouldn't like to have my children treated that way and that I would be glad to do any thing I could to stop it. I didn't try to push matters with them. I told the agents to see that they had pro visions and blankets for the rest of their people I told them I wanted them to tell me what they wanted me to do.
 ''They talked together and then said they wanted to do just what I wanted them to do.
 Then we sat down in a circle and said: The marshal wants you. and you, and you.' indicating Posey, Polk, Hatch and Posey's boy, to go with him to Salt Lake. The rest of you to the reservation with the agents. Is that all right ?
 They said it was and further they said that they would go to Salt Lake. We broke camp and all rode ponies back into B1un. We rode ahead and let the Indians follow us They have never been ironed or shackled, never have been led to believe they are prisoners. They never tried to get away. Why. I don't believe we could get rid of them if we tried. At night they have slept together and nobody has stood guard over them.
 A They are perfectly harmless now. All the Indians are satisfied. The whites are over their scare and there wau be no more trouble from this band of Indians. These Indians are just children, easy to alarm and some times hard to appease. They had worked themselves up to 8 pitch where they were getting very dam gerous4 They were attempting to get a large band of Navajoes to join them in an oltbreaks Where they were camped in the wild. broken country, near the Grand Canyon, they would have been mighty hard to dislodge. It would have taken a large force Of cavalry, two regiments. probably, to sJbdue them and it would have cost the government $2s, 1000 to get the soldiers here.''
 None of the four Indians talks English Through an interpreter Tze-Ne-Gat or Hatch, said he was not guilty of any crime. When asked about the Mexican he is accused of killing he said:
 'SThe Mexican was; my friend. We camped together. I did not kill him. Why should I kill my friend?'
