Show 5- 1142 DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR UNITED STATES INDIAN FIELD SERVICE Uintah & Ouray Agency, Fort Duchesne, Utah. March 26, 1924. Supt. E. E. McKean, Ignacio, Col. Dear Sir: I have the copy of your letter addressed to Mr. Black relative the shooting of one Joseph H. Wilson near Moab, Utah, in 1880. This matter has been taken up with several of the older Indians here and none of them know any of the people mentioned in your letter, ie, Cuban Jones, Bishop Red or John Adams, and they also claim that they have never heard of the above shooting, but think that it was probably done by the Piutes who frequented the country around Moab. If anything further comes to light you will be promptly advised. Yours very truly. [illegible signature] JHB. Superintendent |
