THE UTE COUNTRY ,
A Breezy Letter From the Lands
of llie Hair Raisers ,
What the OomtniBBion Has
Done in Settling Mattors.
PoonliarUcii nnd NotaliilitioH of
Trlbo.
FORT TnottNntmoii , U. T. , Novem-
"bor 10. I have Jiow been iti the land
of the Ute for nearly three months ,
nnd while ono Buffers considerable din-
turbjuco of mind nnd body _ in reach
ing herO | after arrival there is much to
bo eoeu that can bo mot nowlioro olio
in the "moral vinoynrd. " I was
ushorcd into Salt Like City on n Mor
mon railroad twin , the doatiny of
which was , to a largo part , controlled
bn polygamtat conductor , nnd my
entire time while aboard of it , nearly
two hours , via occupied in untmtis-
factory ondoavoro to find the distin
guishing matki botvrccii the Mormon
and Uentilo passengers.
Transportation was fnrninhod for
our company , whiohoompriBodtho Ute
commission and Jinj or Thlbant , of thu
regular army , on route to hin post at
Fort Thornburtjh , byOonoral McOook
at Ounp Douglas , to take UB clown
into the Indian country. The outfit
was commanded by Oivptain Penney ,
and all told , numbered oixtoan oonln ,
four four-mulo toami and two saddle
horses. An early start was made from
Gamp Dauglai , the prettiest noit in
the country , and by sunrise Salt Like
was lost tq vioir in the distanco. Wn
entered Parley Oiiion , and for miles
traveled a narrow rooky road , our way
inclosed on either aide by the rugged ,
brown nidoa of the mountains. Day
after day our pith was over broken ,
nnd , at limns , almost inipatuablo woyu ,
the trip now and them roliovcd by the
prosonbo o ! sotno mountain atroam.
Thcso crcoks , rivera AS they are called
in thin country , abound with fish , and
the water just down from _ the nno\ny
tops of the Rockica requires no Ice
when uac.d aa a beverage.
One of the first individuals wo came
across was a Utah Mormon ntago-
driver , who stood near the ontrancu of
a station and enlightened a number of
the tough looking populaca. "Thora'o
the Ute commiosionora , goin' down to
put the injuno on a farm , " to which
his listeners responded in chorus : "I'll
bo d-d. "
The fourth morning opt , alter halt
ing for an hour to straighten up ono
of our freight wagons , which carried
provisions , ourtoam emerged from the
titnbsr at a height of $8,000 foot above
the 001 level , and wo went down into
Strawberry Valley , the huad of the
Ute Indian reservation , and which thoU
U tilted Gtuton surveyor recommonda
shall baaubdivided for Indian locution.
But in the winter season , itra.9 after
wards learned , no human being could
stand the cold there. At the end of
eigKt days , during which time the
commissioner examined the streams
and lands of thu Indiana domain and
the surveying that had boon partly
completed , wo reached Fort Thorn-
burph , making an afternoon's atop at
the Umtfch 'ugoncjr , the headquarters
for the \Vhito river snd Uintali Ute
Indians. Hero I mac 'tho ' first Ute I
had over been called upon to witness ,
and for the first time I thought 01
how my Italian barber in the east
might bo deprived suddenly of faturo
earnings ho had calculated upon.
At Thornburfth , named after the
lamented Thornburgh , irho was killed
by the Utca two years since , wo wore
royally received by the commandant ,
Captain Hawkins , and'hia staff , Lieu-
touanto Wothorlll , Day and Dr. Shan
non. General "McOook'a outfit being
compelled to icturn to Salt Lake , the
commission was turned over to the
tender mercies of Captain Hawkins.
The needed transportation for the
ciimmiaalou'a visits to the Oaray and
Uintah reservations was soon sup
plied , and since then the commission
Las been going to and fro among the
Utcs located thereon , investigating
their work , obtaining their ideas aa to
the near future and arranging for
their location upon their lamia In sev
erally , in obodiunco to the Ute agree
ment entered into with them in 1880
and the instruction of the honorable
secretary of the interior. The sur
veyors have not yet completed the
subdivision of those lands , and while
the greater portion of them are bar
ren Mi'i useless , there is ample for the
Indiana who on these two reserva
tions number cloao ontO three thou
sand if it is properly irrigated , which
can bo easily dona at a small cost , aud
which , I understand , the commission
is arranging for.
I will leave the commission at work
aud enlighten you briefly as to who
lire here and what they do for a living.
The military post and the agencies are
reached by three different trails front
the railroad. From Green River City ,
Carter's Station aud Salt Lake , all o !
thorn difficult to travel , the Salt Lik <
road having the preference. This po l
is located at the head of Ashley Yal
ley , wherein nearly two hundred Mor
mono ralso wheat and oats enough t <
give them a living. The military com
prises four companies of troops , win
nave lived hero since lost spring ii
tents. Thirty miles south are th
Uno mpahgro Utoa. and thirty mile
west the Uintah and White llivor In
diane. During the past summer am
up to the present time , the soldiers-
oongresa having made no appropru
turn for this post have been buildin
quarters of adobes or mud bricks cure
in the BUD. While ui ly and clutusj
the structures'aro moro comfotUbl
than tents in cold weather , which i
now doge upon us , mountains aronn
us being covered with unow and lirt
being indispensable. .General 0 , C
Howard , commander of this doparl
inent , was hero eomo time ngo to coi
suit with the Ute commission and It
dian agents aa to thu advisability c
removing the troops to Bait Lake Oitj
The former pro tea ted against ii
Freighters charge three cunts pc
pound for hauling hero from the rai
road , and when the deep snows com
it will be impossible for ovou a mai
carrier - reach the road. It would t
safe t < > iviso a largo reduction of tli
force lift but not the entire abandoi
went of 9 post. While the Indiai
&ro quiet juet now , uomo of them hav
actually gone to raising wheat an
corn , Before another ton months n

When they get whisky they are fr&i

caped , though two shoti wcro fired at
him by the guard Ho was rcarroatcd
the next day , there being no means
for him to get over the mountains , and
ho ia now in jail at Salt Lako.
The Utcs nro peculiar. They differ
in many respects from other Indiana.
Whey they kill they do not scalp , nnd
when ono of their number dies they
burn up all of his oilccto and slaughter
ono or two of hin homes , that ho may
ride ever "tho happy hunting
grounds. " The last named supersti
tion they will bj long in ever getting
ever , nnd it would therefore bs dijli-
cult for the government to even in-
dnco any considerable number of
them to reside in wooden or log
housoB. They prefer to live In lipla
or tonta. They are great huntora , nnd
in the course of thu iioaaon kill great
numbjrs of dcor , for the nkirm cf
which they cot u good round priuj.
They do not hko the presence of sol *
diets , and hold the commission iu
highur untocm than they do the agents.
Tlio ISJUH day , when they receive ra
tions from the government , the
tquawa nml young ones moktly string
iuto the ugoncy on ponies , and thu
number of cittlo necosnary for their
provision are driven ouj to nn cnulon-
uro nuar by , where they nio brought

I have been looking around since
my debut here for the "beautiful In
dian maiden" wo road about. So far ,
the old story haa proven a romance ,
"Ohiputa , " the widow of the late
Chief Ouray , of the Utca , and who
was a friend to the whiten ( at n salary
of $1.000 a year ) , liven witn the Un-

There la quito a number of the
White llivor Utoa who have cultivated
the soil this neanon , and I am told by
thu agent at Uintnh that hia Indiana'
wheat product will reach 2,000 bush
els. They Hko horsun and cattle , all
of thotn , and , from my observations , ,
are inclined to pastoral rather than
agricultural pursuits. A roat many
of the Uintah and White Rivers ex
press their willingness to go onto their
lands if the name nro capable of culti
vation , and to work the soil the com
ing spring , if allotted thorn. The Un-
compahgros , I have hoard say , do not
propose to do any farm work. In
fact , they rather ridicule the sugges
tion that they should become hus >
bandmon. They express their feelings
in the premises when they respond :
"No bowano ( no good ) . Ute heap
hunt ! " Ono or thu Uncorapahgro's
came to the commission's camp some
daya since , and after gulping down a
cup of rico soup , Raid to the commis
sioners : "Givo mo your Injun house.

When 12 o'clock cornea , there arc
perhaps a dozen laryors sitting at the

spectators waiting on the crimson
plush sofas for the court to open. A
rustle of silk is heard from the opet
door loading to the retiring-rooms ,
At the other sldo of the chamber siti
a young man at a desk , who has beer
listening for a few minutes for thai
sound. Up rinos , and announces in i
clear voice : "Tho honorablt
the chief justice and asso
clato-justicos of the supromi
court of the United States , " where
upon lawyers and spectators all get U [
on their feet. The rustling sound ap
proaohua , and there enters a prooos
uion of nine dignified old men. clad ii
black sl.k gowns that reach almost ti
their toot , with wide nloevoa and ample
plo skirts. At the head walks tin
Chiof-Justice , and the others follow ii
the order ot their length of service ii

a lawyer is on the floor making au ai

The proceedings are irnproBaivo only
from their simplicity. Usually the

patent cases , models of machines are
frequently used to illustrate

you might almost imagine at times
that the gentleman nt the blackboard ,

may happen in when a lawyer in

HISTOHIC'AL.
The Seventh came to the depart
ment of the Platte In June , 1870 , nnd
gmlsonod Forta Shaw , Ellis , Baker
nd Benton in Montana. At that
ditto thso atationn wore on the remote
rontlbr , and during the greater part
of the year were almost Inaccessible.
The garrison duty wns laborious nnd
not without peril at times , while the
oaoort duty and scouting or campaign
ing , in which the troops were em
ployed , woo dangerous and difficult ,
aa the country wwarmud with hostile
Indiana on the watch for the unwary ,
Daring the month of Juno , 1872 , an
expedition woa formed composed of
four companion of the Seventh in
fantry and tour troops of the Second
end cavalry , under command of Coi ,
E. M. Baker , Second cavalry , for
the purpose of surveying a route
for the Northern Pacific rail
road. The command , which encamped
in n bond of the YellonBvono river ,
near Pryor'a Fork , a few miles below
thn present aito of Billinga , was at
tacked about 2 o'clock on the morning
of August 14 , by a large force of Sioux
and Oheyonno Indiana , estimated at
from 1,200 to 1,500 , When attacked
the troops were oncnmpod in open
ground , surrounded by a slough heav
ily timbered with a dense growth of
cottonwoad. The timber was hold by
the Indiana , and from it they poured
into the camp a galling tire for on hour
boforn a shot was returned by the
troops , who walto'1 lor duyhjat before
proceeding tc their work. At day
break companies , 0 , L , Q nnd E
charged the timber and dislodged the
Indiana , which practically ended the
light The Indian loss Imsnoverbeon
ascertained. The loss of the troops
was trilling , ono soldier being killed
and three wonndud ,
July 7 , 1875 , n baud of about fiftj
Indiana r&n oif a number of hone :
from the neighborhood of Camp Lowls ,
Montana. Lieut. George U , Wright ,
with a detachment of company G {
numbering eighteen men , puraued UK

and recovered the atolou horses. Af
fwra of this nut uro were of frequonl
occurrence in the department ot DA
kotft about this date , aa the Indlun
were nearly all rendered hostile by UK
encroachments of aettlera and miner.
attracted thereby real or imaginary
wealth of the soil.
February 21 , 1870 , Major Briabin ,
with four troops Second cavalry , a
detachment of company 0 , Seventh
infantry , manning a Galling gun , and
a party ot fifty citizens nnd about the
* ! imo number of Crow Indians , loft
Fort Ellis to march to the relief of n
party ot citizens , who were
reported ns being besieged nt a
trading peat known us Fort Pcnae ,
nt the mouth of the Big liorn , on the
Yellowstone. The troops loft Fort
Eilis on the 22d of February , nnd ar
rived nt Fort Pcaso on the 4th ot
March. The citizens establishing
thomsclvcn nt Fort Pcaso had had a
hard timo. Out of forty-el * men who
mndo the original lodgment at the
trading peat nix pcreons had boon
killed , eight wounded , and thirteen
had escaped by night ; only nineteen
were loft iu thu stockade , and thoao
were brought olFby the troops.
In the campaign of 1870 ngainst
Sitting Bull , the Spveiith fully nun-
tninod its reputation , participating in
the oporatlonn preceding the battle in
which Ouster lost hin lifeand [ forming
part of the column who'io timely r.r-
rivnl naved the remainder of the
Seventh cavalry from ultor extinction.
But , i crimps
T1IK MOST UAKINO AND linUIAXT EVENT
in the history of the regiment of Into
years was the bitter fight with the Nez
Porcos , at Big Hole paw , Mont , , on
the 9th of Auttust , 1877. At the
time that Gon. Howard was trying to
overtalio Chief Juieph in hia meteoric
flight through the wilds of Idaho nnd
Montana towards the British posaea-
olono , word rnnohed Ool. Gibbon nt
Fort Shaw to bo on the alert to inter
cept him. Ho accordingly tot out
with a force of 155 ofiicoru and men of
the Seventh and thirty-six citizens ,
who overtook and surprised the In
diana , who wpro greatly their superior
in numbers. Fortunately , the our-
priso waa complete , the troops having
waded u docp slough and
opened a heavy fire along
the entire line of tepeea. Thu
startled Nez Perces rushed from
their lodged poll moll , seeking rcfugo
in the brash. The Indiana soon dis
covered that the attacking force wan
inferior , and opened a destructive fire
upon the troop * , compelling them to
withdraw from the village and take
oholtor in the timber. Hare , sur
rounded and hpinmed in on every
side , General Gibbon hold the Nez
Pcrcca nt bay until the 20th , when
Chief Joseph , evidently fearing the
arrival of General Howard on the
field , withdrew.
In thin fight the Seventh , with nix
companies , could muster only 142
men , and its colonel , who had bcon n
major general during the rebellion ,
was compelled to fight , riilo in hand ,
like a private noldier.
Aa General Terry % flaid , had the
troopa numbarcd300 instead of 142 ,
the Nez Porcfl war would have ended
then and thoro. The casualties in
thin engagement were considerable.
Capt. Logctn , Liout. Bradley , twenty-
one enlisted men of the Savouth in
fantry and six citizens were killed
, while five other oflicors , four
tcora and thirty-one on-
wro wounded. Capt.
commanded the burial
.finding the b
Ed Indians. ' ' "
We name year
A REMARKABLE FIOHT
was made by a detachment consisting
of twelve men of the Seventh infantry
and four citizens under command of
Sorst. Molchort. They had boon
sent to Cow Island to guard atoroa
and had thrown up a alight intrench-
mont. After n aovero contest , during
which the bravo garrison waa repeat
edly charged by the Nez Percos , the
Indiana were obliged .o draw off their
forces , leaving the little band masters
of the field.
The late events , such as the war in
Colorado and the marchings and conn-
tor-marchiliga which resulted in the
surrender of Sitting Bull and the ter
mination of the Sioux war , for which
the Savcnth ia entitled to its meed of
praise , are no fresh in the minds of our
renders ns to require but alight men
tion. Bcuidea these many individual
nets of heroism which live in the mem
ory , and are the talk of cirup fire and
barrack , mtsht bo cited if proof wore
needed to bhow the mettle of thoao
men and to provo that even n these
degenerate days there are atill bravo
soldiers and that Gon. Gibbon and his
men are fully equal to the task of auo-
taining a record which is untarnished
and oxtomla overnenrly three-quarters
of a century.
