Some Trouble Expected Over
Their Removal,

Denver, 8.-The United States grand
jury found indictments against Berry,
Meacham and Cline as accessories, and
five Utes Spavano, Piah, Cono, Henry
and Unqus, as principals, in the murder
of A. D. Jackson,
A letter received here states that the
whites have been ordered to leave the
reservation by to-morrow. The writer
does not give the source of the order, but
it is thought the order was given by the
military, and it means immediate steps
toward the removal of the Utes. Commissioner Mears had great faith in
Berry's influence over the Indians, and
believed Berry and himself could influence the Indians to a speedy and peace-
ful exodus, and it is stated that Berry
having decided to remain in Denver
until brought to trial, Mears declared he
would not go without him, and rather
than trust to himself or to the influence of the other commissioners,
without
Berry's aid, he would
resign. It is furthermore stated that
Mears has already prepared his resignation to be forwarded to the interior
department, as soon as it is settled
beyond question that he cannot have
Berry's
assistance.
The gentleman
giving this information is in position to
know the temper of the Indians and
their disposition towards the commissioners. He believes there isn't a member
of the commission who could influence
the Indians and that probably the
presence of any of them would incite the
Indians to outbreak, as the first impression would be that their mission was to
remove them. He believes that Berry
could cause the peaceable removal of the
Indians, and the surrender of those indicted for Jackson's murder. The Utes
threaten to remain in the valleys and regard the prospect of a fight with soldiers
with derision, and boast they can defeat
all the soldiers government is likely to
bring into the fight.
