Show lite Indian Scare. Special to the Herald. Vernal, Utah, April 26. There is some uneasiness felt here over the disposition shown by the Indians since the troops left Fort Duchesne, and it is possible that before the troops arrive that have been ordered order-ed here to take their place, there may be trouble. The Indians have not become reconciled to the settlement settle-ment of the affair over on Snake river, in Colorado, last fall, and they have manifested a disposition since the evacuation of the post to take matters up and settle them in their own way The opening of the Uncornpahgre reservation and the efforts that are being made to open the Uintah are causing no end of dissatisfaction and discontent, which are accentuated by the absence of any force of troops. A number of the more turbulent members of the tribe have been spoken of late and express an intention inten-tion to play even with the people over the state line. Threats have also been made against parties who are working along White river on the gilsonite beds to the effect that they would be forced away. It .s reported that a number have declared that they would cut the ears off any white man found on the lower White river country. |
