— Ge ae BATTLE WITH UTES SEEMS CERTAIN REDS DETERMINED NOT TO GIVE IN—TROOPS PREPAKE TO CI_OSE IN. SETTLERS IN WILD PANIC FEAR THAT INDIANS WILL SCAT- TER AND WORK VENGEANCE ON THEM. Billings, Mont., Oct. 31.—A telephone message from Arvada, Wyo., yesterday afternoon, stated that the renegade Ute Indians are intrenched in a strong position in the hills adjacent to Arvada and that the Tenth and Sixth cavalry troops are reconnoitering the country, preparatory to closing in. Apparently the object of the troops is to awe the Indians with a display of superior force and thus secure surrender with- out bloodshed. The Utes are deter- mined not to give in to the soldiers until they have to, believing if they would it will mean their return to Utah, where they say they cannot se- cure enough to eat. Reds Want Concessions. The Utes have been active in laying in a large supply of ammunition at Cheyenne and Gillette, together with provisions, and if the temper of the leading tribesmen can be taken as an indication, they propose to fight, or at least make a show of resistance and secure concessions from the soldiers and be permitted to make their way to the Cheyenne reservation and remain there pending their disposition by Washington. Settlers in a Panic. Moorhead advices state that a panic is on there, and the women and chil- dren are being removed from tho scene of the trouble. It is feared that in the event of a clash between the soldiers and Indians, the Indians will scatter ard wreak their vengeance on the settlers. The ranches are being converted into fortresses, and every precaution taken to meet the Indians if the come that way. The real danger now lies in the an- ticipated junction of the Cheyenne.

We have told the attor- ney general we desire to continue the bearings as soon as possible, but he and his assistants are very busy at present with other legal work for the] - -state, and I do not know just when the state’s legal department can be with us.

A Winona County Good Roads asso- siation was organized at Winona, rep- resentative farmers from all parts of the county being present. Gustave Scholle, president, and George W. Cooley, engineer, of the state highway commission, attended the meeting. Mr. Scholle urged those present to vote against the constitutional amend- ment providing for the appropriation of one-fourth of one mill on the assess- ed valuation of the state. He said that under the system now in force in this state it has been demonstrated that at least $70,000 of this amount will be wasted, because a minimum amount to be given to each county is provided under the present law. It has been shown that many of the counties will not expend this money according to any system, and very often will do very little work and that of no general value, and consequently the people who pay the taxes will not be bene- fited. The present law provides that one-twentieth of one mill he levied for good roads aid, and he believes that enough is wasted ont of this amount. Mr. Cooley devoted his time to a practical talk on good roads building, and giving suggestions on the forma- tion of a goods roads association. The organization was completed by the adopiion of a constitution and the elec- tion of the following officers: Presi- dent, W. J. Landon; secretary and treasurer, C. A. Boait. An executive committee composed of seven members is to be appointed by the president, and this committee and the president are to appoint one vice president from each town and in- corporated city and village in the county. LID IS ON AT ORTONVILLE. Citizens Lost Patience; Used a Sharp Stick. After several ineffectual attempts, the lid is apparently on securely in Ortonville at last. Ortonville has been a wide open town for years, the Sun- day closing laws having been enforced only for short periods in the term of the present mayor. Two weeks ago written notice, signed by several citizens, was served on the mayor, to the effect that unless he enforced the laws relative to Sun- ‘day closing of saloons and the use of slot machines, immediate steps would be taken against him personally for malfeasance in office. This had the desired effect and last Sunday saw all saloons closed tight, ‘and all slot machines turned to the well. The citizens committee is keep- ing close watch of the situation, and lany lapse will be followed by immedi- ‘ate prosecution. “Honking” Is Death Knell, Gettysburg, S.
