Los PINos AGENCY, Col, Oct. s
An Indian runner came through
in eighteen hours from White
River and arrived at midnight. He
reports to Chief Ouray that the
troops are still fighting. They are
strongly entrenched and able to
hold their position till reinforce
ments arrive. Chief Douglas sends
word to Ouray that all the women
and children are safe at his house.
He has turned the money and
papers over to the Agents wife;
that Ouray need have no fear from
the White River Utes. The In
dams report that it is Jacks band,
known as Denver Indians, who are
doing the fighting.
Two Indians entered the office
and seized the Agent and threw him
on the floor and shot him through
the head, The agency and troops
were attacked simultaneously. The
employees took refugeln building,
which was fired and two mon shot
in attempting to escape. Chief
Ouray says there is no danger here;
all quiet at the Agency.

The Massachusetts Democracy.
NEW YORK, Oct. S.-The Herald
says, regarding the Massachusetts
Convention yesterday: Everybody
knows that Adams is put up merely
to preserve the chrysalls of the
Democratic organization, from
which four fifths of the voters have
blown away like butterflies into
Buffers pasture. The practical
choice rests between Butler and
Long.
The Times says: For some weeks
the attitude of Judge Abbott
Thompson and Charles Levi Wood
bury has been some what peculiar.
There is no longer any doubt that
they intend, while making a
great show of activity to
allow the present canvas to
60 by default. The action OF
Yesterdays Conventions means
this: They have selected very re-
spectacle figure-head, who will be
unable to draw votes from the Re-
publican nominee, but who will be
equally powerless as an opponent
of Butler.

CHICAGO, Oct. IA special from
Denver says: 1t is a curious fact
that, though the Indian scare pre-
walls throughout the State, no cas-
ualties have been report ed since

Pitkin, appealing to General Pope
for aid, says he needs fifty thous'
and rounds of ammunition; that
dispatches from Leadville cay the
Indians are driving miners from
camps within thirty miles Of
there. He had ordered picked
rifiemer sent to defend settlers
aud holds the militia at Leadvill'
until it is apparent what the Indi
ans intend to do. The Governor
says there are no Government
troops at Denver, and he receives
appeals for arms and troops which
he cannot supply. Gen. Pope tele
graphs that he will cover the coun
try with troops in twenty fou
hours. Nobody knows at presen
what the Indians are doing. 1t !
