UTAH INDIANS ARE
ON THE WAR PATH
Five Indians and One Deputy Have
Been Killed In Battle Which Is
till Being Waged
DENVER, Colo., Feb. 23.—A force
of thirty deputies are battling with
a large band of Indians near Bluff,
Utah, and live of the redskins and
one deputy are reported to have been
killed. The battle is still raging and
reinforcements are being sent to the
deputies, who are reported to have
engaged an overwhelming number of
Indians.
The outbreak was caused by the
refusal of the Indians to surrender
an Indian who was believed to have
murdered a white man. When the
deputies approached the Indian camp
to arres* the murderer they were
warned to keep off as the Indians
had decided to resist the arrest of
their comrade. One of the deputies
shot an Indian who attempted to
strike him with a hatchet and the
tiring immediately became general on
both sides. The deputy who fired the
first shot was instantly killed but the
other have barricaded themselves
against the Indians and are giving
battle.
It is reported that the deputies
have nearly exhausted their ammuni
tion and the fear prevails that they
will be massacred before assis*ance
reaches them.

BELIEVED EIGHT
NATIVES ARE LOST
Party Attempted To Cross Taku In
Gasoline Launch—Boat Tend
er Found Later.
Eight Indians are believed to have
been drowned while attempting to
cross the Taku on the night of Sat
urday, February 13. The party con
sisted of four men and four women.
They were in the gasoline launch Flo
ra and were en route to Admiralty
Island on a hunting and fishing trip.
A sailing boat and tender which the
Flora had in tow has been picked
up by a searching party of natives.
In the sail boat were found one of
the native’s dog, rifles, and provis
ions to last for some time. The dog
was nearly dead from exposure.
The storms which have swept over
Lynn canal and Frederick Sound re
cently have been very severe and
captains of launches believe that if
the Flora was caught far from shore
that she undoubtedly went to the
bottom. They express the belief that
the storm struck the launch about
the middle of Taku and that when,
the captain attempted to turn and
run for shore that the launch was
swamped when she turned broad
side to the wind and storm.

pose of obtaining the assets of the
railway company for the benefit of
defendants, to the exclusion of plain

fendants have subjected the assets of
the defendant Alaska Central Rail

the defendant Alaska Northern Rail

stroy the security for plaintiff’s

formerly owned by the Alaska Cen

$155,000.00, that being the face value
