Show REPORT OF AGENT IN UTAR. Pont'a story renewed the exoite&snt, which at this timearose to frenzy; the Indiana appeared at the agency mounted an their best horses, all Fmed with the best Win-chester rifles. Head-men were haranguing excited Indians m groups. Sqnaws were yelling and crying, and runners were sent to Uintah to carry the exciting news. The emer ency was upon me i the time bed come to sot ; I feared I could not hold them muoh%nger. So, not waltlng the return of my courier from Colonel Randlett, to whom I had in the morning sent a reqoest far the use of the handful of troops I had at this a socy I directed Lieutenant Burnett to mount hi8 men at once and, roeeed with t%e inkians to the reservation line, making a forced march, to halt the. fndians and his men well inside the line, and then send out a white flag by two of his men and demand an interview with Major Leslie, then in command of the pur-suers, and order him ro stop further pursnit, and to caution him that if he persisted in crossing the line that he would do so at his peril. At 3.30 p. m. Lieutenant Bur-nett, Interpreter Curtis, end the detachment of 11 men of Ninth Cavalry left for the line, amidst the wildest excitement, and accompanied by 125 Indians of this agency armed with Wineheater rifles. Shortly after leaving, runners from Uiutah rreervation came to me here and asked that the Uintahs be parmittad to go out, saying thet they were all armed and ready to go. I succeeded in quelling their fe&rs, and induoed them to disarm and keep quiet and await newa from Lieutenant Burnett, who had gone out. The lieutenant arrived at the line at midnight, and st daylight sent out his flag of tmce. The result of his operations is shown in his report to me, a copy of which I hereunto annex. This report I reoeived at 8. 30 p. m. on that day, August 26. On the following day, Saturday, at lp. m., LieutenantBurnett andhis detachment, bringing with himColorov and hisfollowers, with the wompn and children, including Chepeta, arrived at the agency. Immediately on their arflval I sent messengers to' Uiotah to quiet the fears of theIndians there ; large eounc~lsa rere called, my messag' read, mhen the excitement subsided. I then resumed the payment of the annuity funds to Colorow's followers. On the following day, Sunday, Anflat 28, I drove to Uintah to assure them by my prwsnce that there was no muse for dsrm, that the danger had passed and told them to putnp their guna andgoan with their work. At5 p. m. onthat day kreceived a telegramto go to the scene oftrouble incolorado, to meet General Crook and Gover-nor Adams, in relation to the pending troubles. I started st once on this mission. Before leavin I mailed to you a full report of Lieutenant Burnett, being a copy of the report to &lone1 Randlett. I went to Ouray on my way to the scene of trouble, arriving there at midnight, where I met Captain Dswaan with his Company B, 9th Cavalry, and with this es-cort I left this agency at daylight next morning, Angust 29, for Meeker, and by forced marches reached there at noon on Wednosdsy August 31. Immediately upon my ar-rival I reported to General Crook snd gave him a full knowledge of the 8itUation, giving him copies of agreements, papem, etc., touching the case. After this a meet-ing was held with Governor Adams, Generalcrook Congressman Syme'B, State Sena-tor Eddy, Major Clark, of Meeker, theBoardof codmissionera, and principal citizens. At this conference I amred them that there were no Indiana of mine in the State of Cdorado; that they were allat the agency, where I finiahrdpaying them an Saturday, August 27; this, notwithstanding the wild rumors that they were all off the reserva-tion, on the mar-path and scattered all over the oountry. I aalled their atteniion to the instruotionsgiven to the'Commissiooers in 1880, who were sent by the Government to treat with these Indians for theirlands in Colorado; also to their agreement with the Commission to remove to lands in Colorado, at the junction of the Grand and Gunnison Rivers, and how land was set &part for them . in Utah, against their agreement n,nd to which they refused to go, until forced to go at the point of the hayonet by Colonel McKenzie with United States troops; that the lands in Colorado werepointed oatto them at the timeof the agreement withthe Commissioners and by the Commissioners as their lands. Alao I called attention to the understanding that was had hatween theCommissioners and the Indians thet . they,the Iudians, should have the right to hunt on the lands they had occupied. eta. I demandbd 8, quick restitution of all the Indians' property, horse's, cattle, sheep, goats, eto., or an equivalent therefor. I told them tlrat I could not give then, any guaranty as to the keeping of these Indiana on the reservation until such restitution was made. In the pumuit of these lndinns they wereconrpelled to leave a11 of their property behind. In the evening of thet day a meeting of the citizens was held, at which the members of the conference were in attendance. In response to a on11 of those present.
