Show 302 INDIAN DEPEEDATIONS had a conference with the Indians at Springville The co- operative herd having been removed from Hobble Creek canyon recently, caused some uneasi-ness among the red men, as they construed the re-moval as a preparatory measure for war. Tabby and Douglas, two chiefs did not attend the con-ference, but others of their tribe were there repre-senting them. Tabby expressed his willingness to return to the Uintah reservation on condition that they are supplied with flour, but say some of their people oppose him in this. The Shiberetch, Capotah and Elk Mountain bands with a number of Navajoes were still on the war path. However, the troops were kept on scouting expeditions against them. TREATY CONCLUDED AT MOUNT PLEASANT. On September 17th, General Morrow, Apostle Orson Hyde, Bishop William Seely, Bishop Amasa Tucker, Bishop Frederick Olsen, Colonel Eeddick N. Allred and others met a number of chiefs who had been present at the former council. Among these were Tabiona, Angizebl, White Hare and some who were known to have encouraged, if they had not taken part in the depredatory incursions ; all entered into a treaty of peace, and it was believed that the principal danger of a war was passed.
