Show THAT DAYS DOINGS The antics of David Day agent for the Ute Indians and associate bands in Colorado put him in a very fantastic light and stamp him an officialclown as well as a consummate perverter of the truth His romances in the Denver papers though not appearing over his signature are recognized by their style and their mendacity And his official dispatches as published by the press give evidence of the authorship of those shameless distortions of the truth published pub-lished at the capital of Colorado There can be no doubt in the minds I of people familiar with the details of the Indian invasion of San Juan county that the Colorado Utes left their reservation reser-vation either by direction or the permission per-mission of the agent who now tries to belittle the danger and to misrepresent the facts attending that invasion He also endeavors to cast ridicule and obloquy upon Governor West and all who took an active part in preventing the trouble which threatened the peaceful peace-ful dwellers lathe San Juan region We trust the Governor and his associates as-sociates in the good work done in that country will not permit Days falsehoods false-hoods to go unrefuted Full particulars property attested ought to be sent to he Interior Department The Governor owes it to himself and the settlers and cattlemen in the San Juan district to makea complete and detailed statement and thus let the lies that have been forwarded be exposed The man Day is evidently unfit for his position That ought to bo made clear to the authorities at Washington The fate of the poor Utes now in a deplorable condition ought not to be left in his hands A man of veracity good judgment and at least common prudence is needed to take charge of them Let the whole le > matter be ventilated ven-tilated and the administration be enlightened en-lightened as to that Days doings |
