UTE INDIANS EXCITED
OVER THE MURDER OF TWO OF
THEIR TRIBE BY WHITES.
The Agent Asks That Troops be Held
In Readiness to Prevent an
Outbreak.

WASHINGTON, Nov. IA telegram
dated yesterday was received at the In
dian Office from Agent Day at Ignacio,
Col, telling of the killing of two Ute In
dams by whites. The telegram says that
Juan Tobias. an Indian police, while out
hunting, found the bodies of Raven
Nough, a sub-chief of the Winnimiche
band of the Utes, and one of his men,
who had been murdered by the whites.
The bodies were partly covered by snow
and had evidently been dead some time.
The murder was committed at the big
bend of the Dolores River and Plateau
Creek, Oft the reservation. They were
hunting, q pastime secured to them by
their treaty. There are other Indians in
the same locality, and u like fate may
overtake them.
Agent Day says the the absent Indians
have not vet been informed OF the muir
der. and expresses fear that whom they
are blood will flow. the Indians on the
reservation, he says, are counseling in u
menacinE manner. and lie informs the
Commissioner that he deems 1t advisable
10 hold a company OF cavalry ready to ad-
vance At once ii necessary.
Agent Day says he has wired the Sher-
if of Montezuma County TO be on his
guard and to aid in investigating tho
affair. He has LETT TO the bureau officials
the matter OF communicating with Gen.
eral W heaton, commander of the Depart
ment of the Colorado. Commissioner
Browning took Agent Days telegram te

probably refer it to the War Department
for its instruction.

city was made public to-day, and as
the parties are quite prominent in So
ciety, the affair is creating a furoTe in
society Mrs. William Gentry Shelton
and Mrs. j. T. Stewart, with their hus
bands and families, occupy a hand
some brick residence at No. 1850 West
Belle Place.
Tuesday the ladies had agreed to so
shopping togther, and as matter of
precaution Mrs. Stewart placed a purse
containing nearly 5000 in her bosom.
Mrs. Shelton left the room to dress for
the shopping tour. A few moments
later Mrs. Stewart was startled by the
entrance of what she supposed to be
young man about 50 years old, whose
features were concealed by a handker-
chief, who demanded her money or her
life
The would-be robber held a handker-
chief saturated with chlorofOrm to Mrs.
Stewards face, but in the struggle
which ensued the cap Of the robber
was Knocked off, revealing an album
dance of hair which only belongs to
woman. The robber became alarmed
at the screams and beat a haSty retreat.
Mrs. Stewart related her experience
to her friends, and made the startling
statement that her aSsailant was no
other than Mrs. Shelton, and that she
was dressed in her husbands clothes.
The relatives of the latter woman made
strenuous efforts to suppress the story
of the eScapade, and insist that Mrs.
Shelton at times is so much under the
influence of morphine and cocaine as to
be irresponsible for her actions.

STATE HOARD OF TRADE.
Favors Bringing the Republican Con.
ventinn To California.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov 12-The
State Board of Trade put itself forward
or record this afternoon as favoring
the project to bring the National Re
publican Convention here.
At the suggestion Of w. II. Mills a
resolution was adopted granting Man
ager ]. A. Filcher, now at Atlanta with
the California exhibit, such leave of alb
Sence as he might need to allow him 10
cooperate with the authorized repre-
setatives of the State in the effort to
secure the convention.
Mr.. Mills suggested that Mr.. Filcher
might very possibly have an opportu-
rity to do some effective missionary
work among such members of the Re
publican National Committee as he
could conveniently reach, and it was to
give him the necessary authority to
thus employ a portion Of his time that
the resolution was adopted.
Several letters from Manager Filcher
were read, all of them speaking in
glowing terms Of the amount of atten-
ton which the California exhibit was
receiving at Atlanta, and predicting
that substantial good to the State must
result therefrom.
Mr.. Lankensheim of Los Angeles, who
has just returned from Atlanta, spoke
to the same effect. He was confident
that there would be a pronounced tide
of immigration to California in conse-
Quence of the amount of attention
which the States DISPLAY at Atlanta
had excited and was still exciting. He
said that the exhibit was excellently
arranged, showing off, to the very
best possible advantage.

interviewer, and when cornered said
he was too busy to talk politics or any
thing else. 1t is known that he spent
NEST Of the day in the company OF
party leaders whom he could find
handy, and it is generally believed
sounded them on their Presidential
leanings. Prominent Republicans say
that the Iowa Senator is making a
strong bid for the support of Illinois in
the convention, and his visit, following
close on that of ex-President Harri-
son, is taken to mean that the Senator
is here to counterfeit any Harrison
sentiment which may have been Gre
ated among the party managers Of
city and State. The outspoken dec
laration of Congressman Lorrimer in
favor of Harrison does not represent
the prevailing Presidential opinion Of
the campaign generals here.

FEASTING IN FRIENDSHIP.
Leaders of Republican Factions In
Missouri aIaEo Up.


ST. LOUIS, Nov. 12-For twenty
years the leaders of two wings of the
Republican party in Missouri have
been welding axes against each other
and preventing that harmony which is
essential to success. They are Joseph
Burbridge McCullaugh, editor of the
Globe Democrat, and Chauncey Ives
Filly. Tonight they have wiped the
blood from their weapons, and are
feGsting in friendship.
When morning paper announced
recently that Mccullough was candi-
date for United States Senator the
idea was secuted, but tonight it is ad-
mitted to be a fact. The great editor
and party leader have made terms, and
Mr.. McCullaugh is to go to the Senate,
while Mr.. Filly is to name the next
Governor Of the State. A dispatch
from Kansas City says that an anti
Filly caucus is in progress there to-
night, and that Major Warner, eX-
Chief of the C. A. r.,
would have met with the caucus if he
had not been in Washington. Major
Warner is to be Mr.. Filly's candidate
| for Governor.
Mr.. McCullaugh conceded an inter
view to a reporter. in which he said:
This talk of my being prospective
candidate for the Senate is fiatterins,
but premature. 1 would not go across
the street to the office if it came to a
scramble for it, but no good Republican
can reject the voluntary offers of his
party
Il hope that when this State becomes
Republican, which it surely will, the:
party can find fitting representative
in the Senate. The roll of steadfast
Missouri Republicans is not meager.
