of the and ouray agency he being also mayor of white rock bock utah sir I 1 have the honor to invite your attention to the fact that the strip of land out cut from the vintah uintah indian reservation by act of congress may 2 1892 9 has become the location of a tough class of squatters men and women without any means of existence except gambling selling whisky to indians and prostitution some of the whisky sellers have been operating ap era ti i ng under license granted by the uintah county officials which license it is doubtful if the authorities of the county had any right to issue the women have the vilett reputation known in their class and altogether they make up the dirtiest community I 1 have ever known in thirty years yeara experience in frontier service the situation has become very grave and unless vigorous means are exercised exercise to r suppress the selling of whisky to indians serious troubles are almost certain to be the result of the traffic and it appears to me there is in no hope of suppressing this evil except through action of the united states authorities and that a olever clever deputy marshal might work here successfully the county officials appear very tame and if they realize the situation are too indolent in the matter probably they hesitate because they are not up in legal knowledge I 1 therefore present this matter for your that you yon will introduce the subject for the consideration of his excellency the gover i nor of the territory and other officials interested in the peace and dignity of the territory terri cry and that some means may be devised de for removing the nuisance referred to and thereby averting na more ore serious trouble the strip of land where these squatters have located when out from the reservation
