In this mad misunderstanding with Indians, J. C. Yore, veteran government scout and cattle diplomat of the early days of the flaming Four Corners country, recently discharged after a serious operation at Holy Cross hospital, did a record ride as a currier. Yore carried a message from Colonel Phil Tronstein at Glenwood Springs to Governor Adams on Pihours ance Creek in six and over some of the most forbidding trails in Colorado. He exchanged horses three times. Ordinarily one horse can be pressed at top speed thirty miles but not over the trails he traversed and from one foaming steed he sprang to another.

But the Utes had faith in him and from long experience believed him just. He often declared: That if one is square with the Redskin he will go more than half way. MAH & GARFIELD ms RAILWAY CO.
