The grave of Ouray, the noted Ute chief who died some forty-thre- e years ago, is empty. McCook and three other Indians who buried him always refused to tell where the place was located. A few weeks ago McCook and one of his companions from the Uintah Rosin decided to visit the spot which, it is believed, is in a canyon close to Montrose, Colo. Though all these years had gone by since they laid to rest their good friend they had no trouble finding the sepulcher a huge crevice away back in the canyon wall. They found that the boulder they placed at the mouth of the crevice had been rolled away. There was no sign of a skeleton. What could have become of itf While in that part of Colorado McCook went down to Montrose to see the house which Ouray had purchased many years ago. Just before his death it was his request that Chipeta his wife make that her home, but she never did, preferring to remain in the cabin ou Bitter Creek we3t of Dragon, Colo., near where she now slees tiiat long sleep. It is more than probable that her remains will be exhumed and moved to Montrose and there buried. In a recent interview with F. A. Gross, Indian agent at Fort Duchesne, McCook said he believed it will be agreeable to all be relatives and the friends of Chipeta to remove the body. Chief Ouray died in 1881, brokenhearted over treatment accorded the Indians by the white man. Only Chief McCook, brother of Chipeta, who succeeded Ouray as chief of the Federated Ute tribes and now living on the reservation, knows the secret burial place of Ouray. In accordance with his last wishes Ouray was buried by five members of the tribe in the San Juan range of Western Colorado and from which hunting ground the Indians were escorted to the reservation in Eastern Utah by soldiers in 1882. It was through the foresight and efforts of Ouray that the old treaty was negotiated at Washington, D. C. Qn his visit there in the year of his death Ouray was accompanied by Chipeta. They met with the president at the White House several times, and were freorient callers at the home of the late Carl Schurz, secretary of the interior. After their marriage in 1850 a son, the only child of Ouray ALFALFA SFED and Chipeta, was born. When he was 6 years old he accompanied his father on a hunting expedition. They were attacked near the present site of Denver, Colo., by a band of Kiawas. The child was captured and never was Been or heard of again by his parents. This was a source of deep sorrow to each during the remainder of their lives. After the Iws of her only son Chipeta adopted four Indian wards, none of whom survive her. She took them to live on the plot of desert land given on the Indian reservation over in the Uintah Basin by the white man in exchange for the fertile Montrose Valley in Colorado. Today there are no relatives to mourn her, but many very grateful whites. Chipeta, accompanied by McCook and other members of the tribe, visited Grand Junction, Colo., yearly, and it is believed that on these occasions she went to the secret grave of Ouray. On her last visit Inst year she underwent an operation for cataracts of the eye. But she could not endure the confinement of the hospital and returned to her home rather than submit to treatment. Sho was almost blind at the time of her death, which occurred in August of this year (1924). At one time Chipeta owned many cattle and large bands of sheep, but in her declining years most of her property was lost. Although she would not learn the English language, preferring to remain true to Indian ideals aud traditions, she was always friendly to white people. It has been suggested that she be buried beside her husband and that a fitting memorial be ereeted in honor of the rhief and his wife who did so much for people both red and white in Eastern Utah and Western Colorado. However, this may now be abandoned since Ouray's remains have been destroyed by the elements or made away with by vandals. PRICE AGENCY COMPANY E. NELMS, Mgr. Elec.
