Crook for his information and guidance. But as I understood the information, perhaps imperfect, that I have, the present trouble is entirely within the bounda- ries of the State of Colorado, and has arisen from an attempt to execute the process of a civil court ofthat State. The sheriff has called out a posse, and a detachment of militia has been sent to him, or is on the way to him.

So long as the sheriff, with his posse and the militia, ‘are pressing the Indians and threatening an immediate attack, efforts to induce Colorow and his followers to return to the agency would in all probability be useless, The only course of action that appears to me to be feasible is to’ induce the State authorities to suspend ‘the execution of their process until an effort can be made by United States authority to induce the Indians to return to their homes. As yet no troops have been sent to the scene of action, though they are held ready to march. In view of the Pee im) by the act of 1878 on military officers Who shall unlawfully use troops in ald of the civil authorities, I ask for more explicit instructions for my guidance,” as COLLISION ON THE POTOMAC, The Tug Wm.
