Show Indians at PAi'riON. Yesterday it was reported in town that three hundred hun-dred Indians were encamped at Pond-town, Pond-town, or Salem, Utah oounty, and that tho stock in ThiBtle Valley had been driven in to Fairview, through fear of the savngc?. The following special telegram was received by tho Herald, ovor tho Dcscrot wire, yesterday evon-iog evon-iog : Payson, 13. About ten lodges of Joe's lndiaus are camped near thiB place. They say they are coming back, and wish their farm cultivated. Vo cannot ascertain why they havo left tho reservation. There are no Indians at Pondtown. Joe is tho Indian who urged upon oolonel Irish, in ltj65, when tho Utes were about being removed to Uintah, thai they should bo allowed to oomo back and visit in this rango of valleys occasionally; and a verbal contract to that effeotwas entered into by Irish. Tho presence of the lo Igos does not iodioato hostility, wo imagine, as hos-tilo hos-tilo bands do not move with their lodges and encamp near settlements in that manner; It it to be hoped the peoplo will act wisely with theso savages, sava-ges, and neither allow undue freedom nor treat them with any unnecessary harshness. |
