About 400 In all were eugaged In these out

with apparent sincerity, that he will be tin

Senator Hill, of Colorado, visited Ouray and
tried to draw that wily chief into conversa

Ouray has evidently been "coached," or
else his native cunning would not permit
him to speak freely for far he would preju
dice his case. He fought shy of every ques

that be preferred to wait till the Secretary
