I Wliitcs Is Expected.
r DE.NVEK, Feb. 22. Advices from
Z Grayson. Utah, by telephone to Do.
T lores. Colo., today said the band of
I Piuto Indians uncer Tse-Ne-Gat. which
fought a desperate battle yesterday
- with a posse commanded by United
Z states Marshal Aquila Xebeker. had
been surrounded in Cottonwood Gulch,
i near Bluff. Leaders of the reinforced
posse expected to renew the attack un
"x less the Indians surrendered.
The telephone line from Orayson to
1 Bluff has been out of commission much
- of the time since early last evening,
-" and details of the situation are difft-
cult to obtain. As nearly as could be
learned at Grayson, however, tho whites
1 have been reinforced by bunds of armed
1 men flocking from the nearby settle
t mcnts and ranches. It was said the
posse, originally outnumbered by 62 to
a 2S, today was stronger than the band
of Indians.
I It was believed that both the original
J party of redskins with Tse-Ne-Gat and
t'ne detachment known aa "Posey's
j band." which came to the relief of the
Tsc-N'e-Gat after the battle began yes.
) terday, had been cornered In Cotton-
wood Gulch.
I So far aa could be learned at Gray
t son, there were no more casualties after
I the fighting In which J. C Akin, of
T Dolores, a member of tho posse, and
- -Jack's brother," and an unidentified
i girL Indians, were killed, and several
I wounded. The Indian maiden was said
i to have run Into the line of battle.
A party of 20 men, mounted and
.armed, was ready to start from Dolores
some time during tho day for the Bluff.
."TThis party did not expect to make the
...trip in less than two days of forced
marchin-r over almost impassable
' '- mountain roads.
Another posse, which reached Gray
eon from Monticello. Utah, left after
midnight for Bluff.
Word has been sent through the
, frontier settlements near the Colorado
Utah line, and from all sides has come
'""word that ranchmen are arming them-
selves and hurrying toward the scene
"of battle.
No reports bad been received at any
- of thee Denver Federal offices regard
ing the fisrhting. Although Tse-Ne-
Gat was indicted here on a charge of
murdering? Juan Chacon, a .Mexican, the
attempt to capture him is entirely in
the hands of United states Marshal
" Nebeker. of the District of Utah.
- The fight started early Sunday, when
the whites, after several days' journey
by wagon from Cortez, Colo., arrived
; fat the camp of Tse-Ne-Gat.

-published in England that British prls
oncrs-of-war at the camp at Minden

' to the prisoners, all of the Englishmen
"'present broke out into laughter.
' ' The asoncy also says that the Rus
