MINERS MASSACRED.

Colorado Yarns About the Killing of Prospectors Who are Trespassing Upon the Ute Country.

CHICAGO, May 15.—The Times this morning published a story from Leadville by John Allendork to a reporter of that city, regarding the terrible massacre of white prospectors in the Ute reservation. Allendork says he left his home in Linn Co., Kansas, seven weeks ago with seventeen other knights equipped, in search of mineral, which they found on the head waters of the Gunnison river, in rich placers, which yielded ten men four thousand dollars per day. On May 31 while the party was widely scattered Indians, mounted, and three hundred strong, galloped down on the camp and after massacring the whole party, cut their bodies into pieces. Allendork witnessed the affair from a mountain where he had gone hunting. The Utes had carried off all the gold and the whole outfit. Allendork escaped, and walked for several days until he reached a settlement. He gives the following as the names of the murdered men:

Cuxe, and John Andross

Chris Marlap.

Jns. Aulursop.

John and Isaac Ditmore,

Martin Flewing.

Victor Amburg

Fred and Louis Snell.

Edward Maron.

Phillip Jackson.

Josiah Warler.

Jesse Green.

Adams Homer.

Junius Terry.

Mr. Allendork confesses that the story had been discredited by the settlers to whom he told it, and who attributed it to a disordered brain.

Telegrams received at Leadville yesterday report that men coming from the reservation to the city report a party of twenty-five prospectors corralled on the Gunnison, and twelve killed. This is supposed to be Bradbury's party which left Del Norte three weeks ago.

Gen. McKenzie's column is on the way to the scene.

A letter from Loganshe says the Utes are reported to have killed twelve miners forty miles west of that place, and troops from Fort Garland are en route thither.

All these stories are subject to doubt and cannot be verified soon as the roads are in a terrible condition, but it is believed the Indians are making preparations for the war path and stirring news is expected soon.
