Not Generally Credited,

DENVER, May 1o.-The report that
Lieutenant Plummer has been killed by
Navajos is not generally credited here.
1t is believed that if he had been killed
something definite would have reached
this point at once. The latest news
concerning the lieutenant is to the effect
that with two companies of cavalry he
left Olio on Sunday for Bluff City,
where disturbance was reported. The
settlers in the San Juan valley are un-
easy. Costicana's band held a war
dance on Sunday night.

What The Governor Said.

Brookings Register: Two weeks ago
the Brookings Press, in its attempt to
SANDER Governor Sheldon, published
the following as having been said by
the Governor in his speech at the col
lege: Newspapers have long since
ceased to reflect public sentiment, and
no one believed any thing they contain
ed unless he knew it was so from ether
and reliable sources" The statement
gives evidence that some newspapers
are indeed unreliable. What Governor
Sheldon did say was, 81 know that
articles are very frequently published
in newspapers that do not represent the
sentiment of the community"

NAvAJos AGAIN.
Reported They Have Killed Agent
PDummcr

DENVER, Colo, May 10. Reports
from Durango say that Lieutenant
Plummer, the Navajo Indian agent,
was killed by the Navajos in attempt
ing to arrest Chief Castiano. Sheriff
Sergeant of Durango, who is in Denver,
was seen by a correspondent during
the night. The sheriff said it wouldnot
surprise him if the report were correct,
for he anticipated such an occurrence
for some time. The sheriff, continuing,
said: s'There was no danger too great
for the lieutenant. He was daring
officer. Old Chief Castiano is idolized
by the rebellious element of the Nava-
jos, and there is no doubt if the lieuten-
ant attempted to arrest him the reports
of the assassination are true. The
whites are already very hostile against
the Navajos, and if Plummer is killed
it will precipitate bloody war;"

Platform.

LOUISVILLE, KY, May 10.-Nearly all
the delegates for the convention Of
National Republican League clubs are
here. The attendance will be as full as
that of any previous meeting. This
promptitude is accepted by the leaders
as an indication of the general interest
felt in the gathering of the week, as
well as of the determination of the
rank and file to make it manifest that
instead of being discouraged by defeat
they propose to be up and doing with
Jail the energy and enthusiasm they can
make manifest. AS rule the delegates
already here are strongly opposed to the
introduction of any discordant elements
in the convention.
minneapolis Platform Good Enough.
I They believe that the platform of the
party adopted at Minneapolis is as preg-
nant with issues today as it was year
|sago, and that it's defeat to the
contrary Notwithstanding, it needs
neither reconstruction nor strength
ening. Perhaps the only exceptions
to this view come from the California
delegation which insists that the gather
ing must declare itself upon the silver
question anu that the western delegates
will be recreant to the interests of that
section if they fail to demand that the
convention place itself fairly and
squarely Oh record in favor of the free
and unlimited coinage of American sill
yer. That the convention will do any
thing of the kind however, is more than
unlikely and the men from the Golden
Gate have been given very pointedly to
understand that it is not the business
of the gathering to make platforms but
simply to organize and dstrengthenforces
forithe support and advocacy of the prin.
ciples enunciated by the higher councils
of the party.
Many of the national delegates were
present as guests during the morning
at the opening session of the state con.
vention of Republican Leagues of Ken

delegates in behalf of the city.
