H Scott loft for Salt Lake yesterday fl morning nccompnnicd by Col. Robt ,yM E. L. Michio, Orderly Paul Randolph, 'M Aquilla Neboker, United States mar- -:M shnl for Utnh, Spoclal Agent L. D. M Creel nnd the four Indian prisonors, H Poko, Poficy, Posey Boy and Tne-Nc- ,H Gnt. When seen by a representative H of tho Ncwb, General Scott said: ,H "This is tho elovonth Indian uprising .' IH Mint I havo boon called upon to quiet. vlH I am pleased that I should havo been H successful nt so early a dato in treat- jEH ing with tho Indians, It has never ' been my policy to hurry matters, but : llow thorn ample time to become iM thoroughly conversant with every nhaso of tho torms you have to offer, ! before you put the final question, H 'What are you going to do?' i "I camo in hero prepared to spend H any numbor of days to got in touch JH with theso Indians. Onco I can get Hi them to como in and talk, they learn ' that I am their friend and the biggcBt H oart of tho battlo is over. What I con- H sidor tho greatest feature f all is the jH fact that onco the Indians have given ' mo their promise to be good they have i never broken their word. Nor has it l boon necessary to ge over the same ground the second time, '''H "Of tho 27 Indiahs vthat came into, jJflM MexicaHHatwln TajMmstePinye--v--- inest sent out by an Indian runner, ., -iJl Mike's Boy, there was not one of them H but what wanted to rome in under my M nrotectlon and give himself up. fl "I havo nothing but praise to say H for tho mannor in which this campaign M has been handled by Marshal Nobeker IH nnd Indian Agents Creol and Jenkins, ' - IH nrovious to my arrival. They had a . H most soriouB proposition on their )H hands and that there was no more H bloodshed is a little more than mir- H nculous. jH "I will go direct to Salt Lake City with tho prisonors, where they will IH bo turned ovor to tho department of hlH justice for trial." H Indian Agent J. E. Jenkins, who has " H been with Genoral Scott at Mexican ' Hat, left yesterday, morning for the M Navajo Springs agency. Mr. Jenkins JH said ho had talked with the Indians 4H after Gen. Scott had secured his four 'M men and tho rest of them had agreed ' , ,H to go to the agency just as soon as 1 their horses aro in condition to travel. jfl Mr. Jenkins will bo back in Bluff i shortly to superintend the moving of 'H all Uto Indians onto tho reservation; s 115 Utes have already moved to tho agency. 1 Whilo great credit is due Gen. Scott M for his success in securing the sur- M render of tho outlaw Indians, it is bo- H lieved hero that tho fight put up by M the posso under Marshal Nebeker was M in a measure responsible for the In- H dians being ready to accept peace terms. tM Tho removal of Poke's and Posey's -w factions has brought an end to the reign of outlawry of Indians, who havo H for years committed crimes of all sorts "M within tho confines of southeastern M Utnh and southwestern Colorado, for fl which horetoforo no Indians havo ever J been punished.
