FACED DEATH TO KESCl E I WHITE WOMEN CAPTIVES Thrill?)!? Sforv of General Adam's vis. it. With One Compmion to Indian Camp in Wilds of Colorado. f I One night, more than thirty years j ago, a party of Re Indian b'aves at! the White River agency, Colorado, swept down upon the agency buildings,' murdered the agent. Meeker, and every man t.iev could find: looted the' r * . reservation stores, und carried away captives to the mountains three women and two children, says the Washing on Post. The nation was horrified at the sudde ness of the tragedy, as the Ctes; had been known up to that time us a peaceful tribe, and had never given1 any trouble under the former agent,1 Gen. Charles Adams, who was on .e i most friendly w rms with their great. Chief *Auray and others of the ribe. Hut under Agent Meeker the Indians had become discontented and threats were made. Meekpr asked the government to send\soldiers for his protec ion. The Indians learned they were coming and on that very night the murders occurred. Panic seized the settlers in that part of Colorado and hey fled to Denver. T!:p governor of Colorado, instead of urging tha; the troops be hurried forward. asked that they be Ihalted and that Gon. Adams be sent to mediate with "he Indians and secure the release of the captives. The Indians would murder them if the sdldiers came, he said. Gen. Adams, then stationed in New iu>, waa uiuriru 11; iu 11it' with all possible haste. Accompanied by Count Doenhoff, a German nobleman visiting 'lie west, !he made a forced ride of 100 miles on horseback to the Indian's camp in the mountains. H> re after a campfiro parley in the dead of night among the pines he succeeded in securing the release of the prisoners and the promise of the Indians to surrender those guil y of the murders for punishment. It was a f /.az.irdous undertaking a>. a number or' the braves wanted : kill Gen. Adanis. is companion. and all the prisoners r: the sp t The story of the.- conferenr .is told by G*-n.

Ar noon Chief Douglass arrived with a delega ion or nis warriors, .'jut. i was nignifall before th;- council fires were i kindled and the chiefs ready for the ; cou .cil. "That scene 1 shall never f;rget. It is stamped upon my brain in ineffacable col ^rs, as I fully realized that it was quite likely o be tne las I should ! s e with mortal eyes. The council was tj be held in a little clearing in ?..e midsj of a deep pine forest about a mile ! ;rom t'. e camp. The nigh was dark.

Around it squa ted the Indians, some 2~> or 30 in number, their faces grim, watchful and immovable, whilc' 1. with Count I>>enhoff, sat apart and looked; at t'.em reproachfully. "They talked among rhemselves in t\:e Tte language, of which I knew bu a few scattering words, all my dis course with them being carried on in Spa.isn. Presently Chief Douglas turned to me and offered me the pipe ol peace. 1 shook my head. "I will not smoke he pipe ol peace wit.i bad Indians who kill whi e men and carry off my country vv ;men," 1 ;;nserod in Spanish. "Th- Indians! looked sullen and once more talked apart. 1 could see that their 'discussion wa hot and that opinions varied,; some of the Indians seeming o angrily protes against W.iat others advocated. "My interpreter, a young Indian boy v. h > was very devoted to me, pulled : my sleeve, and in the darkness I could ' cor. thnr ho ?hr>nlr like n lonf 'Oh Adamus/ h<- gasped, ' hey say best kill Adamus?Adamus bring white soldier, kill white squaw, oo.' 1 laughed, j not very heartily, 1 admit, and broke into thf discussion in Spanish. " 'You say you will kill Adamus, do you? Well, that's all righ ; you can, kill me if you want to; I am a soidier,! and a soldier expects to die in he dis-1 cha ge of liis duty; I have been a good friend to you fellows and you know it; now if you want to murder your freind, well and good, there is no'hing to prevent you, I ca t only di? once, and 1 am as ready to die now as any other ime. Hut for your own sakes I want to tell you one thing. The soldiers of my people are as the leaves on these '; jes. If you kill me or harm yur captives, my countrywomen, the great white fa her will send his sol-, die's and leave not one of your alive.'| "I rose as I spoke and placed my j back ag.iin.st a tree, determined to sell' 111 V lilt* <l> Ul'fll IV ;i>> JJU?>MUn\ II Wfl?* a critical moment. Silently Count Doenhoff came and j stood close at my side. Aljr'i in that j 1 forest. of blackness, the only white j men within perfiaps fifty miles, one 1 'hundred miles from civilization, we j , were absolutely in the power of those J ; savages, who might torture us and put i i us to a most excruciating death.

Again 1 shook my head and | refused, saying. ' No. I cannot smoke i with you until you promise ine to give i up your captives and allow the ring I* aders of this revolt to be punished as they deserve.' "Tnis again raised a stormy discussion. and angry and suspicious looks ! were cast in my direction. j. "A few angry war whoops1 cut the j el-" .)

"After some rnome t.s they turned rru-. and r. eir spok sman .-.-jid that they would give up the women ami al1 .w the ringleaders of t e revolt to be a" rested i ' i promise 1 them that they should not r ceive a white man's pun:>..:nv-nt (he hanged).

Why should you not be punished for it the same as a w^ite man? After this I talked t3 them for a long time, ser ing heir crimes before th^m in *hc;r true light, and urging them to make all the reparation in their power. 1 spoke to them as a father and a frie .d, and explained to them the disasirou.- results to 'heir people and V.ieir rribe should they resist. 1 pleaded for the helpless women and the little children, and denounced in no measured terms the murder oi p or Father Meeker.

The next m ;rning, when Gov.

The promoters and ringleaders of the rebellion were given up by the tribe- ami received a well merited punishment and the surviving members of the Meeker family were granted a pension for twenty years.
