INTO WATER HYDRANT
In an effort to avoid hitting a
pedestrain a. taxi automobile owned by
the Star Taxi company. of Main street
and operated by George Poppey. of
40 Wall street. was allowed to crash
into r. water hydrant at Wall .and
Commerce streets last night. The hy-
drant was snapped off and the up-
town poltcc found it necessary to call
upon the First District Water depart-
ment to repair the damage.
A report of the accident was made
to the police. It appears that Poppey
was being taught how to operate the
automobile by Charles Poullis. of 1‘
Main street. A man darted in front
of the car and in order to avoid htt-
ting him. Poppey swung the machine
so that it crashed into the hydrant.

SALT Lake City. Utah. March 24.—
Oid Poscy, leader of the regcnadu
Piute Indians. has taken what proba-
bly will be his last stand in Dry ‘Wash.
twenty miles frcm Blandlng. the
week's storm center of the Indian
troubles of Southeastern Utah. \V‘ith
this veteran of half a dozen former
armed clashes with the white settlers
are less than a'score of troublemakers
mostly Flutes. but with a few L'tes,
recently joined to the band.
Surrounding the fastness of the
Rocky region. where the Indians have
taken refuge are posses led by Sher-
iffs acting under orders of U. S. Mar-
shal J. R. \Vard. who has assumed
command of the situation.
Meanwhile H. E. Crockett. acting
governor of Utah. has indicated that
today he would place a reward on the
head of Old Posey. But the posse and
the settlers who sent them after the
Indians need but little impetus to
their present determination to force
a. settlement or the recurring diffi-
culties with the Piutes.
The settlers, so their spokesmen say
are tired of all this trouble. Drillers
in the wild cat oil fields of San Juan
county have thrown down their tools
and gone away to a new settlement.
In previous occasions other whites
have left this fertile area. all because
of fear. The men who want to see the
country developed are going to force
the government to control the Flutes,
they, say. 1! tie government does not
merino control the settlers say they
will. ‘
