Mysterious Shooting.
DENVER, November 2S.-There seems to
be some mystery about the shooting OF
Lieutenant Governor Robinson, at Robin
son Camp, last night. The particulars SO
far heard are these There was a dispute
about the possession of a mine there, and
a guard had been placed to watch it. Last
night Governor Robinson and the manager
Of the mine went to it after dark. The
guard, not recognizing him and not hearing
an answer to his inquiries as to who they
were, fired, he says, into the rock over
their heads. Governor Robinson fell, shot
in four places. He is still living, but his
wounds are believed to be fatal. The fact
that there has been trouble between the
miners and the mining company during the
last week, the guards story and the pecu-
liarity of the wounds make the theory that
it was accidental hardly satisfactory.
The silver Dollar Dilemma.
NEW York, November %. - The Tri-
bune says: A Washington dispatch an.
nounces that Sherman will propose q COM
nonsense way out of the silver dollar d.
lemma. He will ask that the coinage of
the present standard dollar be suspended,
and the huge accumulation in the Treasury
vaults be recoined into dollars containing
sufficient silver to make them equal in value
to a gold dollar, and keep the two coins in
circulation together. The Secretary will
show that this can be done practically with
out expense to the Government. The
President will support this sensible idea in
his message.
