Show y\y UNITED STATES INDIAN SERVICE, y 'ly tfintah Agency, March 28, 1892. Hon. T. J. Morgan, Aommissioner of Indian Affairs, Washington, D. C. Si r: Under date of Nov. 4th., 1891, I reported that a white man who was found hunting and trapping upon the Uintah reservation resisted and fired upon the Indian Police. This man is now awaiting trial at the next term of court y)hich will convene in June next. His main defense will be to show,or endeavor to show, that he was not moon the reservation when trapping or wiien he fired upon the Police. If that portion of the reservation boundary has ever been marked the monuments are now obliterated, and it will be necessary for me to obtain a description of the land embraced in the Hi Tit ah reservation in order to make good the case. Such description I am unable to find, among the records at this Agency.I should be furnished with a copy of the Executive order of Oct. 3, 1861 setting aside the reservation, and if possible, a copy of the map accompanying the survey of this reservation\executed by Daniel C. Oakes and Hiram P. Rennet, Jr. under contract of Oct. 14, 1884, which was approved by the General Land Office March 5, 1885. |
