Show COLORADO AND THE UTES vilder the heading anxious A for an indian war the denver news publishes the following the migration of 0 the utes to san juan county utah Is in one respect a for fortunate tn occurrence it has furnished the newspapers of salt lake with an editorial topic ot of which they are dally daily taking advantage the tone of the tribune T r abune Is warlike the tien pen ot of its editor 0 s dipped in ili blood and lie is 13 doing his utmost to incite trouble rouble by his in incendiary cendia ry utterances As aa all information which the aws has been able to gather bather Is to the effect that the utes are peaceful with ho he idea of committing commit tine depredations it Is a safe assumption that if any outbreak occurs it will be the fault og 0 reckless men ur red 0 on hy by the utterances ol of the salt lake tribune Tribu nr it Is true that the utes have no business hus liless there anil and should be brought back to their re reservation and this the news new very promptly demanded but it la Is not necessary to precipitate a ute war in order to get home ionic even it if the editor of the tribune Is thirsting for gore the salt sail lake news new devotes 9 leading editorial to dave iday hay whose caustic letter to governor west it deems exceedingly undignified and unbecoming a gen halili an indian agents corn com rals bion from the federal government there was a sarcastic still allne in agent days letter which the ponderous ponder oui logic of the news nes cannot demolish it hurt and continues to huit mid and therein Is the source of 0 the protest ot of the salt take alv paper eram it against such sentences from a government ent official it dave day Is not removed until he commits a greater offense than the writing of that dispatch to governor west lie he will live and die tho the agent of the uto ute tribe the serious aspect which the salt lake paper would give alve to the situation in n san ran juan county does not exist outside of their attempts at to turn the cowboys loose in a murderous murder oui taid raid on the indians there will n all be no trouble if they do not incite it tile the above article Is 13 unworthy of the rocky mountain news it is not true in spirit or in ili fact and art an ar article bicle not true on so serious a subject is calculated to result in mischief chiet in ili the first place there was no warlike tone in T the he tribune and all the tribune has said about war has been with the object it 1 p possible of avoiding any such catas batas hiie 7 the news has been deceived dec elved bi by dadog u own people in estein colo badoa I 1 it has been told that the indians hav klavs simply gono gone over into the san ju juian in country as usual at this time of th A year on one of their bunting hunt liu trips annii ann ii that uie the whole number that have hav e sortie has been trilling alln the writer of th thas 1 I s saw a delegation of men from that suntry yu who in their bearing and in amelr language gave every outward evidence ot 0 being peaceable quiet ran f combatants but they stated that v 0 o thirds of the whole tribe of the tes were over in their country that y were not there peaceably hunting ut rut were living on the stock stocket stoc kot of the bettl rs furthermore that they were very insolent in their tone assuming that they owned that country the claim being founded no doubt on the treaty which was made by a colorado trick two or three years ago but never consummated sum mated we have heard echoes of 0 this same thing too in a a good many colorado papers carrying the idea that that country was reserved from settlement by order of the government and that the indians had as much right there as the whites the truth Is that long before that withdrawal was made that country had more or less leas settlers and they are the ones who are there now and have been there from eight to fourteen years furthermore every indication points to the tact that the indians are on utah soil either through the order or the permission of indian agent day and when a paper like the news declares there will be no trouble down there unless the whites whiles make the trouble it shows an utter dis regard of the rights of the white men of utah to make it clear we will suppose that several hundred uintah or uncompahgre indians were to 0 o leave their reservation go to colorado low jow and commence living oft th alie e s ot the white men in colorado an were to lo say they had bad that country first which would be true truland and they had as good a right in that couret country y as the whites how would it strike the news if f the were to publish the statement that the excitement of the people of colorado was all unnecessary that there would be no trouble uni i those white people made it delen of dave day by the news does not t lifter day up at all but simply lowers lowera the baws to the level ot of that somewhat eccentric and vulgar blackguard ills dispatch to governor west hurt no one here it only advertised him lor for what he Is and the defense of tho tha news only makes out a prima facia cape caa that it if hy by any trick the white men in colorado who want the country which tho the indians have occupied from time immemorial could only get I 1 them over into utah and keep ahrn there no matter what injustice might light ibe ta worked on an the men of utah it would ie be a most satisfactory arrange merit ment the only truthful or sensible sentence in the news article Is the one which says it to la true that the utes have no busl buts nesa there and should be brought back to the rear vallon 11 nhit Is exactly the case and the indian agent whom the news defends in his araism could have had them taken home homa and stopped all ibis trouble tn in lt its inception the facts all eo 90 to tad establish that sir mr day in conspiracy with other men tn in southern colorado purposely permitted those indians to SO 90 to that country possibly with the llope lope that the winter storms would coma and make it impossible to return them before their old homes could be occupied by those most mo t generous gentlemen al who probably inspired the article la in the news which Is copied alovis |
