Show AMONG THE RED SKIXS. A Raid i jmn the Vendors of ".Moonshine" (ootid --Kccentricities ol the I'apooso New Schools. Deputy Marshal Billy (ioodcell, fresh with the trophies of a chase through the l intah reservation, returned to headquarters this morning. The expedition through that country resulted in the capture of four persons, per-sons, two of whom, Tenbrook and Burr, are held for selling litpior to the Indians, and Hill and Huberts for having liquor within the confines of the reservation. Their eases will be aired by the grand jury. Commenting on the reservation, Deputy Goodeell states that it now contains about 2000 of the indolent wretches, who, w ith a few exceptions, are pursuing their old, untutored un-tutored habits. Of the 2000 there are about a dozen Indian police, each of whom have provided themselves with comfortable hotnet. The tchoOl at the agency is nourishing, nourish-ing, and its masters are now trying to pound into the. thick skulls of the fifty pupils a knowledge of civilization. Some are said to be very apt while others are as dull as a Kansas tow n in dog days. There are strong evidences of the fact that "moonshine" goods are being distilled somewhere some-where along the Gllsenite strip and a descent will shortly be made upon it. Two new schoolhouscs are to be erected at Ouray agency at a cost of about $85,000. |
