To Hon. N.A. HAYT,
Commissioner of Indian Affairs,
Washington, D.C.;
Reports reach me daily that a band of White River Utes are off their reservation, destroying forest and game, near North and Middle Parks..They have already burned millions of dollars of timber, and are intimidating settlers and miners. Have written Indian Agent Meeker twice, but fear letters have not reached him. I respectfully request you to have a telegraph order…
