Ouray?* fat, inscrutable-faced Ute Indian ? loudly proclaimed himself The Friend of the White Mwi," Cer taiu white men living "our kiln reser* ration proclaimed quite as loudly that the chief wak a moat unmitigated old Moundrel. Others held that he waa >ne of those somewhat rare specimen*. I "good Indian." Here is his history, woveu with the tale of an Indian up rising that,, brought his people Into tragic ' prominence about thirty years Mfo: The branches ot the Ute "nation1* were scattered over large sections of Utah, Colorado and other states. Ouray |&d his tribe lived In Colorado. They were more or less at peace with the white settlers, Ouray, who was rather well educated, had gone several times to Washington to urtfe his tribesmen's right*. Nathan C. Meeker, the local Indian agent, managed to dispense Justice on the reservation and was thought to have won his red ward's love and absolute trust. Forecasts of Trouble. Colorado was becoming more and pore thickly populated by white men. Land that had once been practically tree to all comers began to take on a much higher vslue. Settlers grumbled that the Ute reservation was too larga and that so much goorf ground would be in better use if parcelled out among white men than under native ownar- , ship. Meeker saw that the reserve r tlon must soon or late be eut down. He is said to bave talked the matter over with Ouray and, with the chief's approval, to have suggested a plan for easing the coming blow to the Utes. Hunting needs far more territory than does farm work. Bo Meeker suggest ed that the Indians under his car* turn their minds to agriculture. Ha toven went gp far as to supply them with ploughs, etc., and to order them to till the soli. The Utes (whether Inspired by Ouray, or, as tie claimed, against his advice) flatly refused. They said they were hunters, like their ancestors, not mere farmers, They rebelled against the agent's authority. Dally the situ ation grew worse. At test, in July of 1869, Meeker told tbe Indian depart* meat at Washington that an outbreak seemed imminent. He asked that sol diers be sent to overawe the savages. / Accordingly two months later a $occe under Major Thortiburgh came to look Into tbe sta?e of affairs. Every effort was made to keep the coming *dT the soiarcrs a profound secretr But in the mysterious fashion known only -to Indians the n?wsr was flashed, from one end of thp reservation to the other, ^dded to the original facts was a wud rumor that the troops "were go lng to expel the Utes from their old hunting grounds. Like wildfire the tidings ? false and true alike ? spread from village to village. The tribe sptang to arms. A large band of tfte braves fell upon the advancing sol* dlers at Milk River, near the reserva tion's northernmost boundary. Thori? burgh and thirteen of his troopers wwrt trawmnfl* the flora* of tiro command were captured. The rest, of the soldiers defended them* selves as best they could behind for ? tlflcatlons that had been hastily thrown up. And here, for days, they were be* sieged by the furious savages. titM on the same day that Thornburgh was killed a party of Utes swooped down upon the local agency buildings. Meeker was killed, as was every man In bis employ. The wblte women and children of the agency were captured, but were later released unharmed. {Meantime General Iferrltt and a strong force of regulars hurried to- the r**oue of the besieged survivors of Thornburgh's command. Ouray sent word to all concerned that the whole uprising had taken plaoe without his knowledge. He claimed that at first news of it he had thrown himself heart and jpul- Into . the task M usually embark on k\ Ithout sanction or know* e of their chief.

He filled the air, with protestation* of his good will toward everybody ta general and Merrltt in particular. He assured the officers that Meeker's slayers should be up to Justice and made glittering promises for his tribe's future good behavior. The up shot of the matter was that Ouray's fervent, pledges and declarations won the day. It was a wondrous triumph for him. He had saved his people from heavy punishment For public feeling against the TTtes ran high* and many a Colorado white man Just then would have asked nothing better than j to have made war on them.
