Utah and Colorado Mystery Canyon Consorting with Prominent Figures

A Chicago excursion party including Senator Trumbull and ex Governor Oglesby visited Brigham Young in Salt Lake City.

The piece also recalls the Colorado River Grand Canyon exploration history, detailing Powell's expedition and the perilous first descent by White and companions.

Indian policy and Nebraska incident spark policy critique

The new Indian policy is illustrated by a Nebraska incident where Pawnee Indians killed a white man and dumped the body. Superintendent Janney ordered annuity withdrawal until the murderers were handed over, six suspects were delivered, and the band returned home as annuities were paid. A Henderson county distillery was reportedly closed for alleged revenue violations, and the piece urges strict compliance with laws. It ends with a push to insure with Washington Life Insurance Company of New York.
