PALESTINE SPEAKER AT ZIONIST MEETING Engincer Herr Pevzner Tells of Holy City. An interesting mass meeting was held last night in the Talmud Torah institute under the auspices af the “Geulah Camp, Order of Bnai Brith.” The address of Herr Pevzner, a Pale: tine engineer, who with his travel- ing companion, L. Frenkle, is making a tour of the United States delivering lectures, was the feature. : M. Richmond, president of . the camp, introduced A. Aisenberg as the {| chairman for the evening. Mr. Aisen- told the Mr. berg, who is a charter member, of the origin and purposes of organization. He introduced Pevzner. Mr. Pevzner in a well delivered ad- dress related the conditions existing in Palestine today. He reviewed the progress made during the last thirty- four years since the first Jewish pio- neer immigrated.to the Holy City. The industries in Palestine, as well as Jaffa, and how this city has- grown to be a modern municipality, was clearly told by him. In concluding he told that the prospects of the Jews regaining Palestine was indeed very bright. ¥. Frankel, who spoke after Mr. Pcvzner, is well known in this city, having addressed an audience in the same: hall about six years ago. He renewed his friendship with many of his admirers yesterday. He spoke in detail on the work that Zionism has accomplished in Palestine, and also explained the “Zionist Commonwealth System.” During his address he paid a high tribute to Herr Pevzner saying that although a graduate en- gineer from a Berlin university, hé left a wealthy home and gave up a promising career to devote his life to the welfare of his fellow men.

INDIANS "~ ENGAGE IN BATTLE Three Killed After Posse Surrounds Indian Camp. Denver, Col, Feb. 22.—Advices from Grayson, Utah, by telephone to Dolores, Col.,, today stated that the band of Plute Indians under Tse-Ne- Gat, which fought a desperate battle vesterday with a posse commanded by United States Marshal Aquila Nebeker had been surrounded in Cot- tonwood Gulch, near Bluff. Leaders of the reinforced posse expected to renew the attack uniess the surrendered. The telephone line from Grayson to Bluff has been out of commission much of the time since early last night. As nearly as could be learned the whites have been re- inforced from the nearby settlements and ranches. It was stated that the posse, originally outnumbere by fifty- two to twenty-six, today was stronger than the band of Indians. Cornered in Guich. It was believed that both the orig- inal party of Indians with Tse-Ne-Ga and the detachment known as Pose, band, which came to the relief of Tse-Ne-Gat after the battle began vesterday, had been cornered in Cot- tonwood Gulch. So far as could be learned son there were no more after the fighting in which J. of Dolores, a2 member of the posse, and “Jack's Brother” and an uni- dentified girl, Indians, were killed and several wounded. Other Posses on Way. A party of twenty men, mounted and armed, wag ready to start from Dolores some time during the day for Bluff, This party did not expect to make the trip in less than two days of forced march over mountain roads. Anoth®" posse, which reached® Gray- son from Monticello, Utah, left after midnight for Bluff. Word has been sent thropghout the frontier settlements near the Colo- rado-Utah line, and from all sides has come word that ranchmen are arming themselves and hurrying toward the scene of ‘battle, : No Reports of Fighting. No - reports had been received at any of the Denver federal offices re- flarding the fighting, The fight started early Sunday morning when the whites after sev- eral days journeyed by wagon from Cortez, Col., arrived at the camp of Tse-Ne-Gat, a Plute Indian leader, whose arrest on a charge of murder was sought. From Grayson, Utah, the follov ing report of the battle was received last night from Marshal Nebeker: Indians Open Fire. Posse of twenty-six men led by Sheriff of Dolores county, Col. ex Sheriff Jingles of Montezuma count; Col., and Sheriff Peperson of 2 Juan county, Utah left here last night to surprise and capture the Indian. \At break of day this morn- ing, the posse surrounded the camp in which the Indian wanted was lo- cated. The Indians seemed to be ex- pecting their arrival of the posse and opened fire. J. C. Akin of Dolores Col., was killed in the beginning of the fight. An Indian called Jack's Brother, was killed, and an Indian girl who ran between three posee and the Indians was killed. The posse cap- tured Indiagns named Howen and Jack. Both Indians are choice warriors and it is expected other Indians will try to recapture them. A band of Indi- ans known as Posey’s Band, came to the relief of Polk’s band from the south. Posey's band wounded Jos- eph E. Cordova one of our men, who was placed to guard the southern ap- proachh.h A posse of fifteen, all this town could arm, has been sent from here to assist the posse at Bluff. A posse of twenty-nine is on the road from Monticello, Utah, to assist those at Bluff. Communication between here and Bluff has been broken all day and has just been restored. The fighting continues fiercely. Charged With Murder. Tse-Ne-Gat, who is also known as Everett Hatch, is charged with the murder last March of Juan Chacon, a sheep herder in Montezuma County, Col. After his arrest, the Indian es. caped to Utah, where his father, Old Polk is said to have csnselled re- sistance. The band of which Tse- Ne-Gat is the leader, is known as an uncontrollable nomadic tribe, which has on many occasions given settlers of Southeastern Utah much trouble. Lorenzo D. Creel, * special Indian agent, arrived at Moab, Utah, last night en route to Bluff, with instruc- tiong for Marshal Nebeker. Indians at Gray. casualti A.
