The Utes were an Indian nation divided into many smaller tribes: Pie | Utes, Moache-Utes, Capoto and Wiminuchie Utes, and so on. Their original i {home was in northwestern Utah and a large part of Colorado. For a long} rtime thay gave the Government comparatively little trouble, remaining quiete; | ly on their reservation and leading moderately peaceful lives. ‘ But as the West began to fill with goldscekers and settlers the same oM@ pitifully frequent series of petty frauds and bulldozing set in. The Indians” | affairs were badly managed by the local officials appointed by the Goverm* ment. Graft or incompetence became the rule rather than the exception. | Pioneers interfered grossly with the Utes’ affairs and refused to respect \their property rights. There was a wholesale attempt to cut down they boundaries of the reservation and to drive the natives into undesirables cramped quarters. é The Ute hunting grounds were yearly more and more encroached up and white men boasted loudly to the bewildered savages that soon the whol tribe would be cleared off the reservation and its lands turned over to imey migrants from the Eastern States. | This sort of thing continued, steadily growing worse, until the for peaceful Ute settlements were seething hoth ds of dige content. Danger threatened. Even the Government, recognized that. So, in 1878, Nathan Meeker, a sens sible and just man, sent out there as c..fef agent: Meeker tried to convinee the Indians of his own good faith, of the President's alleged desire to deal fairly with them. He! sought to interest them in agriculture, t them how to make a Itvi from the rich soil, and supplied them with ploughs and all other needt farm {mplements. But he came too late to stem the tide of hatred. The Utes did not trusty T* Ute war—last of the noteworthy Indian conflicts—sprang from the een, Meeker’s Vain Eftorts for Peace. |him. To his kindly diplomacy they replied with sullen resistance. When b@s tied to enforce the wise rules he had made he was met with almost open mutiny, Then something occurred to fan the embers into flame. The Colorado Legislature early in 1879 petitioned Congress to remove the): Utes to some other part of the Union and to give their reservation to whitp' settlers. The Indians, learning of this, became so turtmlent that Meeker tax} alarm sent to the Government asking military aid. No attention was i a: the time, to his request, and all summer affairs went from bad to worsed sinally, In September, a body of troops were marched to the Ute reserva; tion, under command of Major Thornburgh. The order for their advance. was given secretly in hope that the rebellious savages might be surprised { {ato submission by sight of a strong military force suddenly appearing} among wwem. But there was a break somewhere in the cuain of officlalg secrecy. ews spread through the tribes that United States soldiers were comingy to drive them off their reservation. The tidings served as signal for a gem? eral armed insurrection, An army of frantic Ute “braves” rushed to oppose; the oncoming troops. They met and attacked Thornburgh’s force at a pai on the Milk River, on the reservation’s northern boundary line. ‘ine eainy diers could make no headway against the savage assault. e battle that followed Thornburgh himself and many of ais men The survivors fell back and tried to defend themaelves behind | ents, The Utes surrounded them, dashing madly against the de + wounding numbers of soldiers and killing or “running off” al the,’ horses s0 as to make escape impossible, besieged Government force was at the merey of its savage eesaiiants. quickly have been annihflated had not a larger army under Gen. | come up in the nick of time and rescued it. and mu.

The savages were overwhelmed by reinforced Government . s and packed off to other reservations. That no punishment was ex-} ed for Meeker'a assassination was due to the cleverness of Ouray, Chief} of the White River Utes.
