They had no pass from their Agent nor did they show any authority for leaving their Agency. They were allowed to remain on the reservation for a few days, when they were sent away by the Agent with orders to return to their reservation. Tho;y took with them 100 horses given them by the Utes. The Agent gave them a paper showing that they had honestly come in possession of the horses.
