The Troops Being Hurried to
the Scone , a Worse than
Lava Bed War Before
. Thorn.
CiucXno , Juno * 20. A Denver
special gives the following alarming
information : A Ute war seems inevi
table. Gen. HeHeriimn , who has
been acting as guide for the troops deployed -
ployed on the southwestern border of
the state , has arrived at Durango ,
bringing news of ono of the bloodiest
and must _ dangerous encounters be
tween whites and Indians that has oc
curred on tliu frontier for years. The
causes and details are as follows : In
May n band of Pah Utos , n tribe com
posed of renegade chiefs from the sev
eral tribes having their homo in the
Sierra la Sal nnd Blue mountains ,
Utah , attacked' , the.- ranch of John
Thurman , on tho' Dolores river , and
murdered the ovrnbr nnd two cattle
borders , mutilating their bodies so
that they were scarcely recognizable.
The fiendish massacre worked the sot-
tloraup to n fearful 'state of excitement
mont and , a war wna ffoarcd. Troops
were dispatched to the scene , Gen.
Hofl'erman acting as guide. Ar
rived at Marcoiut was learned that the
Bottlers' were organizing tomarch upon
the Indians. ; ; Couriers' had boon 'sent
to nil the Bottlemonts to ihcito the in
habitants to war , and so successful
had been tliu result ( hat the troops
'were ' powerles8Jto 'averfc-'tlio ' ' trouble.
Besides murdering the three men , the
Indians had
11AIDEU THE XAItctf VAtIKY ,
and stolen 150 head of stock , the recapture -
capture of which was ono of the mo
tives of the proposed campaign from
Marcas. 0 company of the Thirteenth
infantry , a mounted detail , advanced
by way of Chicken creek to Adarnel's
rancho , in the Sierra AlTajp , and wont
into camp. A'darnolVcabin and that
of a settler were found abandoned and
rilled of their contents. Hero the
troops awaited the coming of the set
tlers. On the night of Juno 3 , fifty-
four men and three wngons arrived.
By'mutual consent , hcadTuartera were
eBtablislied.closo by , and that night
Louis Piquar , a half breed , nco.ut , anil
thrca onini > a -Biitifert- - tm ft cout-
expcdition , climbing to the summit ot
thoHluo Mountain and penetrating
to the very heart of the renegades'
stronghold. Tidings of the brave
band not yet arriving as expected , the
troops became afraid that Piquar and
his followers had boon slain and
marched into the mountains to within
eight miles of the Indian settlement.
The Indians , taking alarm at their approach
preach , fled in detail , some , however ,
remaining and building a barricade ,
That night the 4th the settlers ad
vanced , led by Wm. Mny , n brother of
ono of the men murdered at Thur-
man's ranche. The party consisted ot
I'oiiTV-NiNi : MIN : , WKLL AUMKD
and accompanied by eight pack mules.
Tlio remaining six were left at Adar-
neU's to guard the supplies. Being
out of rations the troops abandoned
the field on the following day , retreat
ing to the big bond ( o the Dolores.
Next' day twelve Indians appeared on
a mound near AdamoH's cabin , wav
ing a Hag of truce. They were allow
ed to advance , and stated that they
wore on their way to the Uncomphagro
agency. A scout on their trail , how
ever , allowed that they had circled af
ter getting out of sight and followed
the trail of May and his party. In the
meantime the company of settlers had
discovered a band of Indians driving
a largo herd of liorsos , mid kept on
their trail until they had made a cir
cuit of the south and west sides of the
Hluo mountains in pursuit. The beef
supply was inadequate , and two men
worOjdotailod to , go into the moun
tains and'cut out a'ateor from ono of
the .herds ranging there. While en
gaged in BO doing the men heard a
shot , and riding into the open ground
discovered eight Indians. Their first
impulse was to retreat to their com
mand , but the Indians , Booing their
intention ,
CUTTIIXU OFK
in this direction. The men then iled
to the timber , and after being thirty-
Bix'houra in the saddle , without food ,
they arrived ' at the big bend of the
Dolores , completely worn out. Tlio
Lwo men putting in nn appearance ,
the main command started on their
trail next day. After this
movement all Booms chaos.
By the strategy of the Indians the
command fell to piecea and scattered
through the mountains in seemingly
liopeless confusion. In this manner
it appears they were ambushed and
massacred in detail. Win. May , the
leader , Messrs. Willis , Bobbins and
the Wilson brothers , all prominent
catllolnon at the Marcas , are known
to bo among the victims. Iko Stock
ton and J. II. Esltridgo , two of the
so-styled outlaws of' Durango , were
also killed , the latter being shot nix
tjmos. Twenty of thq original coin-
maud have been * missing fur several
days , and it is natural to suppose that
most if not all of thoqo men are dead ,
Thq others of the settlers straggled
nto the towns along the Dolores in
iairs and flinall parties , more dead
-ban. alive. Four companies of tlio
tfinth cavalry and a detachment of
Thirteenth infantry Kayo started for
.ho spat of war , under command of
Daptain Carroll , the well-known In
dian fighter , Gen. Jlateh is .at-St ,

is about 125 miles west of Durango in
Utah , Tlio experiences of the Modoc
will bo repented in mi enlarged form
if the war continues , nt the stronghold
of the Pah Utca in the Siorrn la Sol
nndlMuo mountains , much rnoro form
idable than was the lava beds. Tlio
country is almost entirely unknown ,
because of its isolation , nnd is ono
labyrinth of caverns and nn intermin
able nest of yawning canons nnd impassable -
passable mountains. The Pah Vies
are n desperate band of wild young
bucks who have deserted thocominand
of the agency chiefs. They are as
free as the air , have no families to
bind them , except norhnps n few
squaws cmite ns wild nnd blood
thirsty as themselves , nnd in
consequence their subjugation will
bo n mnttor weighted with difficulties
nnd n great loss of life. A grunt
panic oxista among the Bottlers along
the Grand river , and many arc aban
doning their hollies. Those who have
resolved to remain and bravo the con
sequences are building stockades and
fortifications.
A OKNERAIi WAK
nlbng the frontier is very probable.
The conference between Commissioner
Menchnm nnd the White river Vtes
will occur on Monday , when it is ex
pected that Doiiglns , Colorow Jack ,
nnd the other head chiefs will refuse
to bo removed. This conference ) waste
to have occurred early this month , but
the Indians have evinced a disposition
to evade it from the first. Col
orow was in charge at the
agency when Moncham issued the
call , nnd promised to dispatch runners
for Douglas , Jack , Persu , and the
chiefs , then out in the valloy. He
had instructed the couriers before de
parting , however , and when out of
sight of the agency they returned to
their quarters thus leaving the matter
at n dead stamlfitill. Another mooting
wns recently arranged for , and the
result is awaited with very much anx-
ipty hero. Shoritrilarkins , of llaw-
lins , Wyoming , waa in the city yester
day , lip is well acquainted with the
White River Utcs , having carried the
mail to the agency for some time , nnd
gave it ns his opinion that the last of
the present month would find the
tribe on the war path.
The Robber of AT. . Stewart's
Grave Discovered.
National Associated I'resa.
NEW YonK , Juno 26. A morning
paper publishes what purports to be
the diary of a special detective of
many years' experience , covering a
period of over two years , giving the
alleged facts in reference to the steal
ing of A. T. Stownrt's body. The
narmtivo is voluminous and only
three chapters are published to-day ,
the remainder being promised from
day to day until complete. In to
day s chapter the detective hints
Btranijnly nt two rectors of St. Mark's

Kelly , n hackmnn , who convoyed
the body to Now Jersey and who was
arrested on suspicion a few-
days after the robbery but
wnH subsequently discharged for
want of evidence to hold him. Kel
ly immedintoly disappeared , nnd nl-
though detectives and others made a
diligent search for him no trace of his
whereabouts were ever discovered un
til the narrator , who wns familiar with
Mike Kelly and his brother , obtained
the desired information of Edward on
the promise of dividing the reward
aud shielding Mike from the law.
Mike Kelly was nssociatcd with Hilly
Porter's gang. The narrntor nlleges
that the body is now nnd has been for
some months concealed within twenty
miles of this city , and but for certain
obstacles in the negotiations , which
culminated n few weeks ago , the body
of A. T. Stpwart would bo restored to
its lust resting place.

NATIONAL SAENGERFEST
Great Intoroot in the Grand
Festival at Chicago.
The Preparations and Who
Will Take Part.
CiiH'Ano , Juno 20. The great topic
of interest in this city is the twenty-
second biennial festival of the North
American Siungorbund. which opens
on Tuesday in the Exhibition build
ing , and continues until July 51.
The Gorman Sivngorlmnd of North
America , the parent of the piusent
organi7j\tion , was founded in 1810
with tivo societies , numbering 118
members participating. Since that
time it hnsuronnsoiapidly that at the
last several bionninl concerts the aver-
nge numborof sociticain attendnnco has
boon f > 5 , nnd the number of singers
in attendance lriOO. Tliu Su-ngor-
festa of the last ten years linvo nil
been great successes. The one hold
in St. Louis in 1872 is still well re-
momombored , On that occasion
fifty-two societies , numbering 1,100
members , participated.
The festivals hold since that time
were nt Cleveland , O. , in 1874 ; Louis
ville , Ky. , in 1877 ; Cincinnati , in
1870. The present fest was bomm
under most unfavorable nuspicoi. The
Chicago delegates at Cincinnati very
reluctantly agrpod to abide by the
unanimous decision of the other dole-
cat os , choosing Chicago ns the next
location. Their hesitation arose ( rum
the fact that the Qoimaii singing so
cieties in Chicago had hnrdly any of
the material necessary for the artistic
objects of n great musical festival. It
wns confidently expected that n failure
would rcLult , but good hard work vuw
done , nnd the result is that the suc
cess is now assured. Mr. Hans
linlntkn was elected conductor ,
nnd to his endeavors much of the suc
cess of the enterprise is due. Tlio
financial plan of substituting a refund-
nblu loan for the guarantee fund ,
which had not always proved socuru ,
became very populnr , nnd in less than
throe months the committee on finnnco
