FACED DEATH TO KESCl E

Thrill?)!? Sforv of General Adam's vis.

Camp in Wilds of Colorado.

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

I would not leave with ut them, and
tha they should so n he restored to

"S.me extra blankets, which ;he
paUy had brough with them, were

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

except where the little circle of the
council fi e hrevv its ruddy glow. 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 '

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

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

great white fa her will send his sol-,

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. I be- !

! they sat smoking and locking at me.
; Then a murmur went from one to the
l other. 'Adamus "leap brave. Adamus

i "Then, long association of obedience
! to mp. and I really beiieve. their genu- !
i i.i<> affection for me, prevailed over the j
; dictates of their savage natures, and ;
j again they offered fne the pipo of
peace. Again 1 shook my head and

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

sank with a weary gr?; ir onc/. niorfr.;)on
the ground. the chiefs talked
once more together, an-i f could see
that my cause was gaining.
"After some rnome t.s they turned

they would give up the women ami al1
.w the ringleaders of t e revolt to be

You have committed murd r. 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 Qouneil lasted well :n to morning,
but *re the embers .f its fire faded
before he gray of dawn rhe Indians
had promised submission, and l srnok"d
wi h them the p.fn of peace vvhea
they had given me their s;ole:n;: pW^rhat

promises for t.ie governm *..t. but
would use my best endeavors in their
behalf, and wi'h that they seemed content,
and we returned ;o camp iri he
gray o.' tne morning in a friendly
spirit."
The next m ;rning, when Gov. Adams
had seen ihe women nd cliIMrei
saf ly on heir way back to civilization
under the escort zf his friendly Indians,
he, with Count Doenhoff, started
for the White River to join Gent Merritt
and report on the success of r.is
mission.
In accordance with his agreement
the troops were turned back, the Indi
ans br ke camp and wont nacK to
their reserva ions and 'he threatened
Indian war was at a/i end.
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
