Navajo Indians.
DENVER, February Sth.-The Navajo
trouble in Northwestern New Mexico has
been exaggerated. Some OF the young
bucks want to fight, but the great body o.
the tribe, which numbers 10000, is opposed
to an outbreak. Neither the Governor o.
New Mexico nor the Commander of Fort
! Marcy at Santa Fe have received any official

opinion that Agent Vandever, with his
trained police, will be able to hold them in
check. No serious difficulty is now feared
by settlers near Durango, on the Southwest
| Colorado line.
