Annual Report of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs 1887

Excerpts from the annual report concerning Utah Indians. The Commissioner of Indian Affairs discusses cash payments to Indians and the construction of railroads and provides tables outlining demographic data. The Commissioner also provides a report outlining the Sand Creek and Camp Grant Ute massacres in Colorado. The Utah Indian agent describes an increase in scholarship at the Uintah Ouray reservation school, the condition of the agency's buildings, challenges in farming, the lack of a school on the Uncompahgre Reservation, and relations with Colorow

Uintak and Uncompahgre reserves, Utah.-By the act of Congress ap- proved March 3,1887 (34 Stat., 6M), a right of way is granted through these reserves to the Utah Midland Railway Company, s corporation ' of the Tenitory of Utah, entering the Uncompahgre reaeltve at or near the place where the White river crosses the east boundary line of the Territory of Utah; running thence by the most feasible routs in a gan- era1 westerly direction Elcross said Uncompahgre and the Uintah re- serves, to the western boundary of the latter, in the direction of Salt Lake City. By Department telegram of May last, the resident agent 7 at tho Uintah and Ouray agency was informed that permission mas , granted for a preliminary survey for the road, provided no serious ob- jection or obstruction thereto by the Indians was developed. The agent was farther instructed to explain to the Indians that all questions of consent by them for right of way and construction of the road would be considered and determined hereafter. It is undastood that the survey is now in progress. The act vests the President with discretionary power to require that the consent of the Indians to the right of way shall be obtained in such Illanner as he may prescribe before any right under the act shall accrue to the company. It also contains the usual provisions as to compensation to be paid the Indians, etc. Partial and d.efwred legislation in reference to railroads. DeviPs Lake reserve, Dakota.-At the second session of the Forty- ninth Congrws the House Committee on Indian M'airs favorably re- ported the bill (S. 1057), passed by the Senate at t.he preceding sessiou, grantiug right of way to the Jsmestom and Northern Bailroad Corn- a pariy through its rekerre, but it was not reached on the calendar. Walker River reserve, Nevada.-The bill (S. 1056) granting a right of way to the Carson and Colorado Railroad Company through this re- serve, paaged by the Senato at the Brst session of the Forty-ninth Congress, and referred to the House Committee on Indian Affairs, was I not acted npon. I'akama reserve, Waskingtor1. Territory.-The bill (8. 1211) granting s right of wnx to the Northern Pacific Railroad Company through this rereserve, passed by the Senate at the first session of the Forty-ninth Cougrees and referred to the House Committee on Indian Affairs, was atlrerxely reported by the committee :tt the second session. Xiseeton and Great Sioux reserves, Dakota.-The agreement- made with the Sisseton and Wahpeton Indians in Dakota for right of way through the Lake Traverse reserve to the Chicago, Milwaukee and Hoint Paul Railroad Company, also those made with the Sioux Jndions in Dakota for right of way through the Great Sioux reservation to the Obiago, Milwaukee and Saint Pan1 Railway Company and the Dakota = Page 3 = XLIV REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF INDIAN AFFAIRS. Central Railway Company, severally mentioned in my previous annual reports, itlso still remain unco~~firmed by Congress. In some of these cmes moneys paid by the railway companies, upon faith of the agree- menh, are lying idle in the Treasury, and the Indians can not under- stand why it is that payment is withheld. This is doubtless the cause of the opposition of the Sioux to the construction of railroads on their reserve; a feeling that they have alread~ sold a portion of their lands to two railroad companies for which they hare not been paid causing them to bo suspicious of any more enterprises of a similar character. It is to be hoped that Congress will take somo action in these matters at an early date. Within the past few years the work of this office has been largely increased by reason of the extension of the railroad system through Indian reservations. At the present writing there are between forty and fifty railrbad cases, in different stages of progress, before this office, involvi~~g a largo amount of correspondence and incidental de- tail work. CASH PAYMENTS TO INDIANS. In the way of cash payments to Indians there has been disburseti during the past year a little over $592,000. This includes annuity or treaty money, interest on trust funds, proceeds of sales of Indian land^, arid the Ute gratuity of $1,21G.04. The disbursements have been made at sixteen different agencies and to over forty different tribes or bands, at ~arious times, usually quarterly. No dissatisfaction or disturbance has attended any of the payments, the Indians in all instances being apparently well pleased with the manner in which the distribution wits made. While it is the desire and practice of this office to provide for the prompt payment of annuities, unforeseen contingencies sometimes de- mand apostponement of the payment, which gives rise to much complaint 011 the part of traders or merchants in the vicinity of tho rewvationa with whom the Indians deal and have credit, at the delay thus forced upon them in the settlement of the indebtedness iucurred by tho 111- dians. Such delays arise principally from changes of agents, involving interreguums while thenew agent is awaitingacceptance of his bond and the old one is settling up his accounts and transferring his charge to his successor; or from temporary or ad interim appointmbnta wlien the filing of new bonds occasions the withholding of remittances to agent,s. Also every payment calls for more or less care in the revision of old and preparation of new rolls, and questions constantly arise requiring the examination and allowance of individual claims for enrollment which usually have to be submitted to the office and sometimes to the Depart- ment for acljudication. In the mean time the Indians grow restless and their creditors besiege the office with compldnts. Reference was made in my last report to an enforced overpayment made under hostile demonstrations by tho agent at Ouray agency to the = Page 4 = REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF INDIAN AFFAIRS. ' XLV Encornpahgre Utes, the sum of $3.81 per capita in excess of their proper pro rota share having been paid these Utes, this excess being taken out of the shares of members of the tribe who failed to attend the payment. I have the satisfaction of stating that this matter has been properly and amicably adjusted in a recent payment-the amount of tho enforced overpayment having been deducted from the shares of those guilty of the outlawry and paid to the proper recipients, or rmerved for future distribution such annuitants were entitled to the same but failed to to as appear. I would again call your attention to my former recommendations that some action be taken looking to the liquidation of the claims of the Eel River Miamies of Indiana, and the Pottawatomiesof Huron, in such form as to do away with the small annuities now paid them. The present flourishing condition of the national fiaances seems favorable to the final settlement of such small claims. Provision was made by act of August 4, 1886, for tho payment to tlie Pottawatomie tribe of an indemnity fund of $49,383.08, being the differ- ence between the currency and coin raltlnes of their annuities fbr the Sears 1863-'64-'65-'66 and '67, which were paid in currency in violation of treaty stipulation. Before this fund could bo properly disbursed it was necessary to agree upon an equitable basis of distribution betweeu the Prairie band of P~tt~awatomies, still maintain their tribal au- who tonomy and lire upon reservation under charge of an agent, and the a Citizen Pottawatomies who hove abando:tect the tribal re la ti or^ and are scattered through Eausas, the Indian Territory, and adjoining States. An agreement mado about the time of their separation pro- vided that their lands and fnnds should be divided upon the basis of a census made in 1863, which contained the names of 1,400 Citizen Potta- watomies and of 780 of the Prairie band, 2,180 in all. This afforded a basis for an equitable apportionment of the fund in question, and $16,GOS.69, being 2% of the whole amount, was paid par capita to the Prairie band, and is included in the total disbursement of $59!!,000 shown above. The amount clue the citizen Pottawatomies remains unpaid. Owirlg to the scattered condition of these people and the difficulty of procuring a complete enrollment at any one point many difficulties suggested thcnl- selves. It was questionable whether the sum should bedivided into 1,400 shnres,the number of the original annuitants, and be paid to sucll annui- tants if living, or if dead to their descendants or whether the sa~lie ; should be paid per capita to a11 the citizen Pottamatornies now surriviug, whether original annuitants or born since 1863. It has been decided to adopt the former method. The relations which these people bear as citi- zens to the States in which thcy reside, the rights of heirship under tliu law, the guardianship of minors, and rna~ly other points had to be duly considered before action could be taken. Moreover, before l~ayment could be mado was necessary to detail a special ageut to make the it ro- = Page 5 = LXXVIII REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF INDIAN AFFAIRS. nnce from the Nation West that they would be readmitted thereiu, as suggested by the Supreme Court, to all rights, immunities, and priv- ileges as members of that Nation, am satisfied that they would take I early action to dispose of their interests East, and remove to, ant1 unite with, the Cherokee Nation West. With this in view negotiations should be had with the Cherokee Nation. If this can be successfully accom- plished, then such legislation will be asked as mag be necessary to bring about the desired end. BOUNDARIES OF KLAMATH RESERVATION IN OBE$ON. hl1871 the outboundaries of this reservation were surveyed, siuco which time a dispute has existed between the white settlers ant1 cattle men in the vicinity and the Indians, the latter claiming that the east- ern boundary was located too far west, thus depriving them of a large tract of country given them by treaty, and the former claiming that the eastera boundary included a large tract of country properly belonging to the public domain. In October, 1886, this office recommended that the boundary lines of the reservation be surveyed in accordance with the provisions of the treaty of October 14, 1864 (16 Stats., 707). Subsequently, upon information from the Geueral Land Office that the survey of the eastern boundary would not be satisfactory either to the Indians or settlers until its locptioll had been agreed upou by a com- mission, directed the agent in charge of the reservation to make full I a investigation of the matter, and to take the evidence of all available witnesses. Upon receipt of his report, in view of the rague and indefi- nite .description of the boundaries giver1 in the treaty, and the fact that settlement had been made upon the lanils east of the reservation, it was determined to re-establish the eastern boundary in accordance with the survey made in 1871, although tho claim of the Indians seemed to be well substantiated. When the line is re-marked, the military will be requested to protect the reservation from the encroachments of cattle- men, concerning which the Indians have made many complajuts. It is also my intention to present the claim of the Indians to Congress for an appropriation to compensate them for the lands lost by the loca- tion of tho boundary line, if, upou further consideration, they appear to be clearly entitled to the same. THE ALLEGED UTE OUTBREAK. More than passing notice should be given the recent trouble in Colo. rado, recalling, as it does, too vividly the Sand Creek and Camp Grant lnassacr& which blot the history of the dealings of the American peo- ple with Indians. When the body of the Ute Indians removed in 1882 from their herecli- tary home in Colorado to their new reserves in Utah, several small = Page 6 = REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF INDIAN AFFAIRS. LXXIX parties remained behind on the ceded lands. A few, under Augustine and NcCook, settled on White river, between Douglass creek and the Utah line began to cultivate the land, took out irrigating ditches, and ; asked for permanent homesteads. Iu this they were encouraged, until it was ascertained that the ceded lands were not subject to homestead entr~, nnd could only be purchased. A larger number under two Col- orolrs, clesiguatecl as Uucompahgrc Colorow and White River Colorow, made their headquarters much farther east, and hunted and herded their stock upon public lands among the mountains in the vicinity of the old White River agencg. As white settlers and herders came into that country disputes about grazing and other matters arose, and the presence of 111dians in Colorado became the subject of frequel~t com- plaint. The Uolorows, with their followers, mere ordered by the agent to return to their reservation. but persisted-in remaining away, claim- ing that they vere upon lauds poiutetl out to them by the Ute com- missioners as their new home, and also citing the permisvion given them by theUteagreement of 1873 to hunt in Colorado. IuFebruary, last, Colorow mas sent for by the military at Fort Duschene, and informed that he must bring liis people withia reserration limits. He the11 movetl his camp 45 miles west, within what ho claimed to be reserva- tion lines, but at that camp citizens begau building and threatened to attack him if he remained. The Indians have persistently claimed, and not without some reason, that the eastern boundary line of the Ute reserve was east of Douglass creek, the settlers that it maR identical with tho bou~idary line of Utah. When the eastern line was run, on account of tho roughliess of the ground, no marks of identification were made by the silrvexor for a considerable distance, and this debatable ground has given riso to many disputes. Iu March last, an agency employ6 with a small escort of cav- alry mas dispatched to Colorow's camp, at that time near Douglass creek, with illstructions to establish the line and remove Colorom west of it should lie be found to be outside of reservation limits. Mouuments defining the line could not be found, and although Colorow reluctantly agreed to bring his followers clown the White river to a point where the line mas supposed to run, they seem soon thereafter to have wan- dered back to their old hunting-grounds. On the 13th of August last Euny, son of White River Colorow, re- ported to Agent Byrnes, at Ouray agency, that after receiving his au- nuitj at the agency the previous week, he had returned to his camp near Meeker, Colo., to find his tents burned, his goods gone, and six women and eight children missing. Among the women was Chipeta, widow of the late Chief Ouray, famou~ for his unflinching friendfihip to the whites. This report caused considerable uneasiness, and the agent immediately sent back with Enny Chief Herder McAndrews and five = Page 7 = LXXX REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF INDIAK AFFAIRS. . reliable agency Iridia~~s to iuquire into the mgtter, and to order Colorow and his party to the reservation. It now appears that about this time indictments had been found bya grand jury against two Indians named Cibilo and Big Frank, for steal- ing two horses. These horses, which had been found in a herd which two men nnmetl Tate and Woods had bought or gambled from Colorow's Indiaus in April last, had been claimed and ideutified by one Ham- mond, and delivered up to him, and the Indians had made good the loss to Tate and Woods. Nevertheless warrants for the arrest of the two Iutliilns were issued to-sheriff Rendall, of Garfield county and ; other warrants were sworn out by Game Warden Burgett, of the same county, against twelve specified Indians and othersn (among LL whom he had spent a week early in August), for violation of the game laws of Colorado. With a posse of seventgen men the ga,ne warden ~ent to the camp of Uncolupahgre Colorow, on the uorth fork of White river found most ; of the men and women were absent, and without preliminaries of any kind seized a boy and started to take him off. The boy's father inter- fered, was shot, and fell stunned. The bog's sister and another Indian woman made an attack with axes, when the posse again fired, mound- ing the boy and also Big Frank and the sou of Uncompahgre Colorow. Upon this the Indians abandoned all property, iucluding a thousaucl head of sheep and goats, and fled to the camp of White Rijer Colorow, about 20 miles from Meeker. This posse then joined forces with posse which Sheriff Rendall had a summoned at Meeker for the serving of warrants, and went to the camp of Enny Colorow, finding there womeu aud children. After insulting the women, who abandoned everythiug, including 300 sheep and goats, and fled frightened to the camp of White River Colorow, the posse burned the entire camp outfit and pursued the fugitives. In the p11r- nuit one of the Indian boy^ fired,killing a horde belonging to the posse. On the 14th of August, by an appointment made at his urgent re- quest, Colorow met two prominent citizens of Meelzer, and in alarm asked the meaning of these attacks upon his people. He was told that he might have fifteen days in which to get back to his reserre, 100 miles distant, whereupon, by way of preparation, he proceede(1 to gather up his herds of horses andaheep. It was at this juucture that Erlny Col- orow, with two of the agency delegation (McCook and Nickeree), ar- rived at Colorow's camp, found the missing women and children, and delivered the message of the agent that the whole party should return to the reserre. Colorow pleaded that they had been given fifteen days' time but nevertheless his people started immediately, leaving behiud ; all the rest of their sheep and goats, about 1,000 head, and traveling as fast as their wounded would permit. Upon reaching Wolf creek, they camped for the night, aud were there met by JlcAndrews, who had delayed at Meeker tryiug to induce the ex- = Page 8 = REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF INEIAN AFFAIILS. LXXXI cited citizens to allow the Intliaus time to get back to their reserve, and endeavoring to dihsuade them from further attempts to arrest Cibilo and Big Prank. McAndrews gave the camp the startling information that Uolorado militia were already in pursuit, and that they must pu8h on to the re8erre without stoppiug. Being then too late to round up poniea in the darkness, the Indiaus ventured to delay nntil morning, when the women and uhilJren were started on. At noon, as the meu were pre- paring to leare, Kendall, wit11 a posse which had increased to SO, came upon them over the trail which they had takeu, and Major Leslie also arrived by the main road from Meeker with 100 Colorado militia. At the request of the white men, two of their number had talk with two a representatives of the Indians, Enny Uolorow and McCook, during which Major Leslie aked that the Indians remain where they were nntil morning. On king assured that they could uot delay but must over- take the women and hurry to the reserve as the agent had ordered, he replied, A11 right, go ahead; we will not molest you," and the four a shook hands and parted. What motive lay behind this remarkable re- quest that the Indians remain where they were can ouly be inferred from the bloody sequel. That night the Iudians camped on the dis- puted ground, where they supposed the reservation line to be, and with such sense of security that, although their position was peculiarly ex- posed to attack, ponies were turned out to graze and not even an out- look was posted. Shortly after daybreak next morning, Aigust 25, while the Iudiaus were cooking breakfast the soldiers and posse from whom they had parted the evening before occupied the surrounding bluffs, 100 yards distant,and without warning opened fire on the unsuspecting and de- fenseless party. Achee ran to the attacking party, begging them not to shoot until the frightened women and children could be gotten out of the way, and the reply was a volley which wounded him in the thigh. The fire being continued unremittingly, the lndians returned it for three hours and a half, until under its cover their women Bud children were placed at safe distance, when they abandoned the entire camp outfit and moved miles nearer the agency, to be absolutely sure that they were 3 on reservation ground. The militia and cow-boys retired to Rangely, 15 miles distant, and there corraled the 300 Indian ponies which they had rounded up and driven oft' during the progress of the fight. The Indian loss in this fight is said to be one man, two small girls, and au infant boy killed, and two men and a boy eve rely wounded, besides them entire minter supply of dried meat, furs, blankets, trinkets, in fact all their possessions. The loss of the attacking party is said to be three killed and several wounded. Colorow had with him about 150 men, women, and children, which number is believed to hare in cluded not over 25 lighting men. The news of the fight swiftly reached to the agency and created in- tense excitemeut; and that afternoon a company of twelve United 8375 I A6 = Page 9 = LXXXII REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF INDIAN AFFAIRS; States soldiers, under Lieutenaut Bur~!ett, with Interpreter Curtis, sev- eral chiefs and headmen, and one hundred and fitty superblj- armed and mounted Utes, started from the agency, reached Colorow at mid- night, found him well inside of reservation lines, camped with him there: anti waited for a sbcond attack, which was expected the next morning. This attack, for which the militia and cowboys were preparing, was happily averted by a conference held under a flag 0.f truce between Lieutenant Burnett and Major Leslie, in which the former informed the militia of the re-enforcements which Colorow'had received, an.d the cer- t.ainty that if another a>ttack was made on reservation grouud the Indians would fight it out to the bitter end and to the probable loss of his entire party. Major Leslie then agreed not to cross the line of re- serre until legally authorized to do so. With remarkable self-restraint the whole company of Indians ao- cepted this assurance, and with their small military escort quietly returned to their egeucy, arriving there August 28. There they have since remained, trusting to promises given that by peaceable means their property should be restored. On tbe same day Agent Byrnes was ordered to meet Geueral Crook and Governor Adams at Meeker, arld while there he explained that all Ute Indians were quietly on their reserves, had uo intention of fighting, and wauted their property. So far as is now known, only 135 horses have yet beeu returned to the Indians. Agent Byrues is preparing an inventory of the losses su~tained by them, which already foot up over 600 horses, 37 head of cattle, and nearly 2,500 sheep and goats, besides 5,000 pouuds of dried meat and a large amount of camp property-the accumulation of years. Among the heavy losers is Chipeta, to whom Ouray left quite a large property in the way of herds and flocks. As soon as a complete inventory is re- ceived, showing the losses of individual claimants, it will be made the subject of a special report to the Department, with such recommenda tion as the case deserves. FISHERIES ON THE COLUMBIA RIVER, WASHINGTON TERRITORY. Referring to the remarks in my last annual report upon the above subject, would state that a special agent of this offlce, G. W. Gordon, 1 esq., has been sent to the Dalles of the Columbia, with a view to mak- ing a thorough study of the situation, and, if possible, devising some plan whereby the Indians may be secured in the permanent use of some portiou of their fleheries. That they have suffered a great injustice in being deprived of a share in the food supply which nature has so abun- dantly provided there, and upon which they have depended from time mmemorial, no oue can truthfully deny, and it is to be hoped that some measures may be adopted whereby their former privileges at the fish- eries may be redtored to them perpetually. = Page 10 = REPORT OF AGENT IN UTAH.

Respectfully submitted. JABON WHEELER, U. S. Indian Agent: The COMMISSIONER OF INDIAN AFFAIRS. UINTAH AND OURAY AGENCY, UTAH, Seplembm 20, 1887. SIR : I herewith transmit my first annual report of these agencies with the accom- panying statistics. were consolidated July These a encies 1, 1886. The Uintah agency, the head- quarters of these agencies, is situated on the Uintah River, about 100 miles north of Price, a station on the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad, about 170 miles east of Salt Lake City. The reservation contains over two million acres of land, which is well watered by the Uintah and Do Chesne Rivers and their tributaries, and contains large acreage of fertile lands, more than sufacient for the wants of the Indians. This reservation is ocoupied by two tribes of the Ute Nation, known as the Uintah Utes and White River Utes. This reservation wes originally set apart for theUintah Utes and was occupied by them many yearn ago. The White Rivers were brought here in 1880, after the Meeker messacre. The Iudians occupying this reservation are Uintahj 4Zf3; White Rivers, 406; most of whom are located within a radiusof 12 miles of the agency. Tabby, chief of the Uintahs, with a band of 15 lodges, is lo- cated on the Upper Du Chesne, about 50 miles from the agency. These Indiane are known as "blanket" Indians, and still retain in a groat degree their ancient habits and customs. They have shown in the paat but little disposition for work, most of their time being spent iu gambling, horse-racing, and the chase. They draw weekly supplies from the commissary of flour, beef, sugar, coffee, etc., which amounts to about a half ration. They receive annnity goods, consisting of clothing, blankets, agricultnral implements, etc. They also receive all annuity pay- ment in caah. The payment this ear took place in Angust; it was made in specie. Each man, woman, and child of tge Uintahs received $14.36, and each of the White Rivera received but $6.53, moneys for the Meeker pension fund having been deducted from their cash allowance. I took char e of this agency January 1, last the carpenter, blacksmith, miller, ; and farmer ha% been discharged the day previous. It was midwinter no wood at ; :bqency for schools or agency use; much work to be done and no one to do it. Much time was lost in obtaining necessary help to carry on the ordinary business of the agency. The school at this agency has much inoreaeed in scholarship during the present year. The school building has been filled beyond its oapacity. The school auppliea were very scant, and was not able to clothe the pu ils as they should have been. I Iu the increaee of the school was ably assisted by tie superintendent, Miss Fannie I A. Weeks, who devotes her entire time and attention to her duties. The children are mostly small, averagin from six to fourteen yeaw of age, and they have made good progress in their stnfies. 011 ~ny arrival here found these Indians very much opposed to schools and to I work of any kind. By ood mana ement and hard work among them succeeded I in gathering their chiliren in. #hey now seem not only contented, but are well pleased with the echo01 and the treatment of their children aud pay frequent visits to it. The school building arenot fit for the needs of the agency. he^ are entirely too small, illy~constructed, and not 5t to live in during the winter season. More room and better buildings are needed. I have made this school popular with the Indiana, and had the necessary I accommodation^ I could largely increme the attendance. These Indians by persuasion have shown better disposition for farming this spring than ever before. Over 800 acres of new land wae fenced in this spring. Wire fenc- ing haa never before been used by these Indians. During the pa~t spring 13,000 pounda have been issued to them at this agency, and much more is needed. Double the amount of seod-oats, and potatoes for planting have been issued to these Indians this spring than ever before. Great d~fflculty has been experienced in the harvesting of the crops for the want of proper implements. There was no mower, reaper, or thrasher among the Indians = Page 11 = or at the agency. Some of the Indians, to save their crops, were compelled to pm- chase mowers on credit. To secure the agency crop of hay we were compelled to ' borrow mower from Onray agency. a A thrasher wee ordered in this year's supplies; it may reach the agency in time to be of service this semn. The fiei ht .for this and Ouray a encies is now being delivered at Price Station. This fieigft will be hauled by the fndians to the agencies. Their horsea are now being shod and their wagons put in complete repair for that pur om. There are a snfacient nnmber of teams at this agency to bring in all the su Ees before the bad weather sets in. Authority has been granted for the cutting anlE auling of 200 cords of fire-wood for the use of this agency and school, at a price not to exceed& per cord. This work will be done exclnsively by the Indians. This as well ee the freighting will be a source of revenue to the Indians and will hove the effect of stunnlating them to further industry. The agency mill was run by the military during November of laat year in sawing lnmber to be used in the buildin of the post known m Fort Du Chesne. The mill wee unfit for use, the machinery Eoving been condemned several years ago. On the 22d day or November the boiler exploded with great force, almost destroying the mill, killing one soldier and wounding three soldiers and the blacksmith and farmer, agency employ6s. Permission having been received from the Indian Oface to remove the engine and boiler at Ouray agency 35 miles distant, the same was done by the mili- tary under command of General Hatch, and placed in position at this agency, with- out expense Fort Du Chesne. The mill is not iu rnnnin order at this time, but it to the Department, and about 110,000 feet of lumber was sawed for buildings at will be put in repair to saw a large number of log8 that%ave been cut and hauled there b the Intlians to be cut into building material for nee by them. The Ldiaus have this spring built twelve houses for themselves without any cost to the Government except a few nails. The police force hm been filled to its maximum number-one captain end six privates. They have been very useful and attentive to their duties. There was considerable excitement at this agency during the month of August relative to Colorow and his followers then in Colorado. Rnnners were constantly coming to the agenc with exaggerated re orts of the condition of affairs. Councils were constautly hellaud the situation fuey considered. The hot heads were kept down, and, having every confidence in the agent, they agreed to obey his orders, which they did to the letter. They continued their work, and all of them remained on the reservation. The agency buildings have been much improved this spring; porches built with lnmber received from the military as a percentage for use of mill, and buildings re- The offlce and other buildings were plastered with material and labor k~ndly !tt%ked by the military at Fort Dn Chesne. I have lumber on band for the bnild- ing of a comfortable drug-shop for the accommodation of the sick. The building will be erected at no cost to the Department, and bv emplor4a when not otherwise en- - -. -. gaged at the shops.' Ouroy agency is situated on the west hank of Green River, near the j~lnction of the White and Du Chesne Rirers, and about 35 lnilee south of Uintah agency, the Uncompahgre remrvation being 'south of and adjoining the Uintah reiervition. The Uncompah re reservation contains 1,933,440 acres of land, all of which is a desert excep+,ing srnalfRstchea on the Green and White Rivers, which can be irrigated and used for agricultural purposes. The Indians occup ing this reservation are known as the Uncompahgre or Tabe- qnache Utes. Indiana, and spend most of their time in gambling, horse-racing, and hey gave shown no advance in civilization. They itre an indolent, lazy class of following the hunt. A few of them have shown some signs of industry, and culti- vate small farms on the Du Chesne River, about miles from the agency. They hare G occupied all the available land on this stream and, in fact, the farms there are now ; overcrowded. A11 crops are grown here by irrigation. This portion of the reservation is the only part or this vast extent of couutry where irrigation ditches have been built. A large ditch, at a very great cost, was built for these Indians on the White River by the commissionenr who settled these Indians on this reservatibn in 1880. This ditch proved to be a failure. I am satisfied that more of these Indians would engage in agricultural ursuits if some of these lands mere made available by water ditches. Some have ageady expressed their willingness to . do so if such lands could be given them. I am convinced that an expenditure of $3,000 in irrigating ditches would largely increme the nnmber of farmers here and provide the means of industry in making them self-sustaining. There is no school at this agency. A very small one-story building was put up here for school purposes a few years ago ; it wae plastered this spring ; it wss never used ee school, and never will be until suitable buildings are erected for that pur- a, A day school at this agenc would not be a success, as the Indians live great g~&cea from the agency. I%oar&ng facilities innst be provided to secure a school = Page 12 = ht thia agency. If suitable buildings are erected for that purpose am satisfied t-hat I I could secure a good achool with a little time, patience, and hard work. These Indians draw weekly supplies of beef, flour, sugar, coffee, etc. Annuity goods are also issued, con~isting of blankets, clothing. agricnltural implements, etc. An annuity payment in cash is also made to these Indians. In the payment of these funds last year the Indians compelled ex-A eut Carson to pay them $3,300 more than they were entitled EO. This he did, aa te reported, to save his life and the lives of his employ6s. In the payment of this fund this year, acting under the instructions of the Indian Office, retained from them the 83,300 I , which ex-Agent Carson waa compelled to pay them last year. With the exception of the agent's house and the small school-house whichis used aa an office, the buildings are a miserable set of structures, being old stockade log buildings, scarcely habitable, built by the troops in 1880 as temporary quarters, known at the time ss Fort Thornburgh. COLOROW. I insert herewith my reports to you of Allgust 21 and September 11, relative to the Colorow sffair, now on file in the Indian Office. [Uintah Agency, Aoguat 21, 1887.1 Sra : I herewith report that on the 6th instant Eany Colorow, son of Chief Colorow, came to this agency and received his annuity money. On the 13th instant he re- turned to Ourey agency, and stated that on returning to hia camp near Meeker, Colo- rsdo, he found two of his tents burned down, 'his oods taken away or destroyed, and six squawR and eight children who were left at &e camp had gone. He further re- orted that he met a white man, who told him that he should not go farther, as there E ad been trouble between the Indians and the cow-boys. On the 6th instant, when at the agency, he reported that his father waa beyond Meeker at that time, end about 200 miles from this agency. On hearing the report of Enny Colorow, immediately dispatched John McAndrews, I chief herder at Ouray, with the following peaceable Indiaxis of Ouray a.gency, viz. Wass, McCook, Nickeree. Chas. Shavanah, Mountain Sheep, an? Enny Colorow, to the scene of the reported trouble, to order Coiorow and his followers on the reserva- tion, and report to me the cause of the t,rouble, if there be any. This party started out from Ouray agency at noon on Sunday, 13th instant. Since that time three re- ports have been sent me by Mr. John McAndrews, which reports I herewith inclose to you. McAndrews has not yet returned. I am informed, however, that he is on his way back. Wass and Chas. Shavanah, two Indians who accompanied McAndrews, re- turned on the 18th instant, and reported that the whites at Meeker informed them where Colorow was camped and allowed them to go there, and informed them that in bringing him on the reservation they must not pass through Meeker, but must come in by another route. These two Indians reported that they went in the direc- tion pointed out by the whiteq but failed to find Colorow, and returned to the reser- vation by the route directed. On the first reports from Colorow, the Indians at both this and Ouray agency were nuoh excited. I called the Indians together at each agency and by good management quieted them to auch an extent that they have no sympnthy with Colorow whatever, but openly condemn his actions. Everything is quiet here and the Indians are busy athering their crops. I do not knpw of one Indian who has gone out to join 1E olorow. At a large council of the Indians held at this a ency yesterday, at which all the chiefs and head-men were present, Sowawick, hea% chief of the White River Utes, deaired to send meesenger to Colorow o to induce him to come in on the reservation. I consented, and Uintah Waacr was selected as t,he messenger to be accoulpanied by another Indian, named Shim-aruff. Uintah Warn is very reliable Indian, having a taken a prominent part in treaties hitherto made, and has been presented by the Department with a medal for good conduct. Armed with the proper papers Uintah Waaa started on his mission yesterday at noon. [Onmy Agency, September 11,1861.1 Sm: I have the honor to report that arrived at this agency August I 22, and began the payment of the annuity money the Uncompaghre Utes. according instructions to to revionsly received. Objection was made to the retention of the $3,300, which these IP ndians forced ex-Agent Carson to pay them last year. By good management their objections were overcome and the paymant proceeded in the most satisfactory manner. = Page 13 = REPORT OF AGENT IN UTAH. While the payment was progressin great ittctreet and nueaeinese was felt by them Indians ae to the fate of Colorow anf his followers, then in Colorado, who the week before hmd been fired upon by Sheriff Kendmll and his armed poaeee, while on a peace- fa1 hunt in the monntaius beyond Meeker. When I5rst heard of this trouble celled a oouncil of the White River Utes. At I this connoil Sowawick, the hemd chief of the White Rivera, nnderatendin the sitn- stiun as explained it, offered to send an Indian I to communicate with coforow and induce him to retnrn at once to the reservation. At this council Was8 volnnteered to carry the mess e, and Shim-arnff, ale0 an Indian, agreed to mccompany him. I wrote a pass whiz gave to Wmm, which I is hereunto annexed, and a part of this is report, and Waaa sterted on hie mieeion b way of Ouray egenc Arriving there, . they were afraid to go further, fearing bo&y harm. They aakei that a white man - sccbmpany them. 1 at once detailed Mr. John MoAndrews, chief herder st Ourav, for that purpoee. McAndrews is a thoroughly reliable man, and was rfectly familiar with the roads, country, etc. I also sent out Indians Nickeree an' Shmvanah to communicate with Colorow and order him on the reeemation. Wednesday, 4 P. m., Au nst 24 Nickeree returned to this agency and reported Colorow and his ollowers &and blair's ranch, ent miles from reservation line 30 - and &5 miles from the aqenoy, moving toward the reservation ma fast as his wounded wonld allow. These wounded were Wishe-n 3eriIYs pow above Mesker. Nickeree his son, Frank Colorow. and Uncom- paghre ColorowJs sou, who was shot by the also stated that these Indians were pnrsned by the Colorado militia and Sheriff Ken- dall's pow. The news of theae Indiana being pursued while on the way to their rea- ervation greatly excitad the Iudians at this and the Uintah reservations; runners going and returning constantly between the agencies. The following day, Thoreday, 25th Angust, at a. m., Mr. John MoAndrewsarrived 9 at the agency and reported him&lf roughly handled by the Colorado ple, and that 125 mounted Colorado troops passed him at a gallop in pursuit of cofxow, while he, McAndrewe, was taking dinner at Smith's ranch, about 14 miles west of Meeker; that after theae troops assed he mounted his horse and caught np to them at Blair's ranch, and he, McAndrews handed him the Paper had given Wese, which is here- 28 miles west of~eeker. There he found Major Leslie in command of the troops, I nnto annexed. M Jor ~asl?le paid no attention whatever to this paper, and treated him with the utmost indifference. McAndrews further stated that knowing that Colorom wsa peaceably making his way thereaervation as fast to as poseible, nuder a guaranty that he would not be molested, he was satisfied that the pursuers intended to do the Indians harm by takin mdvantage of the guaranty given them. He stole out of the militiacam in t,he ni %t and by a oircaitons route came to the Iudians, who were camped miles !elow, 8 anfwarned them of their danger. McAndrews further reported that the militiamen told him that it was their intention to pursue Colorow 50 miles beyond the reservation line to the agency.. The Indians appeared at the agency in great numbers to hear the report of McAn- drews, and upon hearing it the excitement greatly increased. They sent runners to Uintah to arouse them to the threatened danger; they fearing an attack in their homes, armed themselves and prepared for the attack. I weut among the111 and as- sured them of my proteotioa. 1 told them that would not permit them to be mo- I - lested in their own homesin theirown country so long they remained on their reeer- as vhtion and obeyed my word that they need not be scared; that would take care of ; I them and their wivea and ohildren. This held them down and for a while gave them encouragement my emrnestneea impressed thetn. ; Be soon aa heard the story from McAndrews, and fearing that the pursuers in their I excitement would carry out their threat and punrue beyond the reservation line, st 9.30 a. m. I sent a written request to Colonel Randlett, the commander at Fort Dn-- Chesne, to permit me to wnd out to the reservation line Lieut. Geor e R. Burnett, In- - terpmter Curtis, and a detachment of I1 men of Company B, Ninth Eavalry, who had accom anied me with the annuity funds to this agency Augnnt '22, there to inform ~a.jorEeslie not to crosa the line; if he did so, it would be at his peril. Pending the return of the oourier with the reply of Colonel Randlett, and at 3.15 . m., Pout, one of ColorowJs head-men, arrived greatly excited and reported that shortfy after daylight on that day, August 25, that the Colorado troops and Keudall's men came sudden1 on Colorow and his followers, who with their wives and children were taking a meaTin an unprotected and exposed camp about miles from where the reeer- 3 vation line is so posed to be, mud opened a deadly fire en them. This waa agreat surprise to the ~nXians, who had oonfidence in the assurance that they would be al- lowed to o peaceably to the reservation. They had no pioketa, scoots, or rouners oat, and key were totally nn repared, their horses grazing on the hill-sidea An soon a8 the attack was made {out immediately started for this agenqy to give the alarm. = Page 14 = REPORT OF AGENT IN UTAH. 203 0 Pontls story renewed the excitement, which at this time arose to frenzy the Indians ; a peared at the agency mounted on their best horses, all armed with the best Win- ckster rifles. Head-men were harangning excited Indians in youps: Squaws were yelling and crying, and runners were sent to Uintah to carry e exciting news. t The emer eucy was upon me the tinle hod come to j mt ; I feared aould not hold I them much?onger. So, not wa~t~ng return of my courler from Colonel Randlett, the to whom had in the morning sent I e request for the nse of the handful of troops I had at this agency, directed Lieutenant Burnett to mount his men at once and I roceed with the Indians to the remrvatioq line, makin a forced march, to halt the fndians and his men well inside the line, and then sen% out white flag by two of e his men and demand an interview with Major Leslie, then in command of the pur- suers, and order him to stop further pursuit and to caution him that if he persisted in crossing the line that he would do so at his peril. At Ninth Cavalry left for the 3.30 p. m. Lieutenant Bur- nett, Iuterpreter Curtis, and the detachment of 11 men of line, amidst the wildest excitement, and accompanied by 125 Indians of this agency arn~ed with Winchester rifles. Shortly after leaving, runners from Uintah reservation came to me here and aeked that the Uintahs be permitted to go out, saying that they were dl armed and ready to go. I succeeded iu quelling their fears, and induced them to di~arm and keep quiet and await news from Lieutenant Burnett, who had gone out. The lieutenant arrived at the line at midnight, and at daylight sent out his flap: of truce. The result of his operations is shown in his report to me, e copy of which I hereunto annex. This report received at I 8. 30 p. m. on that day, Augu~t 26. On the following day, Saturday, at lp. m., Lieutenant Burnett and his detachment, bringing with him Colorow and hisfollowers, with the women and children, including Chepeta, arrived at the agency. Immediately on their al~ival sent messengers to 1 Uiutah to quiet the fears of the Indians there large councils were called, my message ; read, wheu the excitement subsided. I then resumed the payment of the annuity funds to Colorow'a followers. On the fbllowing day, Sunday, August 28, I drove to Uintah to assure them by my presence that thero was no cauue for alarm, that the danger had prursed and told I hem to put np their guns and go on with their work. At p. m. on that day received 5 k a telegram to go to the scene of trouble in Colorado, to meet General Crook and Gover- nor Adrtrns, in relation to the pending troubles. Lieutenant Burnett, being a copy of I started at once on this mission. Before leaving mailed I to you a full report of the report to Colonel Randlett. I went to%Ouray on my way with his Company to the scene of trouble, arriving there at midnight, where met Captain Dawson I B, 9th Cavalry4 and with this es- cort left this agency at daylight next morning, August I 29: for Meeker, and by forced marches reached there at noon on Wednesday, August 31. Immediately upon my ar- rival reported to General Crook and gave him full knowledge of the situation, I e giving him copies of agreements, papers, etc., touching the case. After this a meet- ing was held'with Governor Adams, General Crook, Congressman Sjmes, State Sena- tor Eddy, Major Clark, of Meeker, the Boardof Commissionera, and principal citizens. At this conference assured them that there were no Indians of mine in the State of ,I Colorado; that they were all at the agency, where fiuishrdpaying them on Saturday, I August '27; this, notwithstanding the wild rumors that they were all off the reserva- tion, on the war-path, and scattered all over the country. I called their attention to the instructionsgiven to the Commimioners in 1880, who were sent by the Government to treat with these Indians for their lands in Colorado; also to their agreement with the Commission to remove to lands in Colorado, at the junction of the Grand and Gunuison Rivers, and how land was set apart for them In Utah, against their agreement end to which they refused to go, until forced to go at the point of the bayonet by Colonel McKenzie with United States troops; that the lauds in Colorado werepointed out to them at the timeof the agreement withthe Commissioners and by the Commissioners as their lands. Also called attention to I the nndcrstanding that was had between the Commissioners and the Indians that they, the Indians, should have the right to hunt on the lands they had occupied, etc. I demanded a quick restitution of all the Indians1 property, horses, cattle, sheep, goats, etc., or an eqilivalent therefor. I told them that could not give them any I guarant as to the keeping of these Indians on the reservation until such restitution mas ma&. In the pursuit of these Indians they were con~pelled to leave all of their property behind. In the evening of that day e meeting of the citizens was held, at which the members of the conference were in attendance. In response to a call of those present, addressed the meeting and again demanded the restitution of the In- I dian property. In the following day, September 1, Governor Adams made a request that the prop- e~ty returned to me, and on the morning of September 2 a few of theIndian horses, be then at Meeker, were placed in charge of Major Stolbrand, of First Colorado Infantry, to be delivered to me at the agency. 1 detailed Lieutenant Burnett, with a guard of = Page 15 = 290 FUNDS HELD IN\TRUST IN LIEU OF INVESTMENT .
