The Double He0del.

WAsEcA, July z, p. M.-Precisely at
two O'Clock Mr.. Holt, from the stage,
called tue convention to order and an.
nounced that, according to the instructions of
the district committee, the counties of jack
son, Mower and Freeborn, being contested,
arising prior to the settlement of their con-
tests. At his mention of Freeborn county be-
ing contested IN uprOar ensued ON the left.
Notwithstanding which either Mr.. Holt or Mr..
Simpson of Winona nominated Mr.. Youmsns
for temporary chairman. 8. P. Child, I'D
above the din, nominated MIR. Braden for tenn
porary chairman, but Mr. Holt, pay
ing no attention to Child, proceeded
to 20 through the forms of putting
vote and declaring Mr.. Youmans elected.
Thereupon, butd about the came time, MIR.
and declaring DIR. Braden elected Temporary
chairman. In fhe vigorous use of their lungs
the anti-Dunnell crowd, as compared with the
other faction. appeared overwhelmingly strong.
The two chairmen stepped upon the stage
and took poeitions at the table: each on the side
beaten with opposing shouts. jeers. hisses and
calls to order. Mr.. Morgan, of Freeborn, was
made secretary for DEaden's convention on
the left, and hr. Huntington, Of Cottonwood,
was made secretary. for Youmans'
convention Oh the right. The pande-
AonAu" "nS Aopt up "olle COmmlt-
tees were appointed on each side
on credentials, resolutions and permanent Or
ganization, and the announcements of the men-
bers of theae committees by the respective
chairmen were inaudiblc at the reporters table,
only few feet away.
The committees on permanent organization
on each side reported in favor
of continuing the respective temporary
officers as permanent officers and their
reports we're said to have been adopted. The
reading of the reports of the committees on
credentials was in each case drowned by the
yells of the opposing faction, and the putting
we're to all seemig
ONLY IN PANToM1ME.
The committee Of the left on credentials was
in frst with its report, and that side at once
proceeded to an informal ballot. At
this point the Dunnell leaders instructed
| their party of the right to pay no more atten-
tion to the left. After that most of the noise
came frcm the left, but there WAS good deal
! of noise all the same. Quite often the chair
| man and speakers of the right would be called
| to order by the whole body of the left.
The right was first to roach its nomination
and Chairman Youman's announcement that
Hon. Mark n. Dunnell had been unanimously
| renominated was made amid calls to order and
groans from the left. and was followed by Wig
| orous cheers from tho right. Braden's an
nouneement that Hon. w. q. Ward had been
| unanimously nominated WAS meet with jeerinQ
| laughter from the right and loud cheers from
the left.
| The convention of tho right then adjourned
| and left the opera house to the convention of
tho left which remained In session for speech
making an hour longer.

Masked Train Robbers.

A dispatch from Atchison, Kansas, says
two masked men boarded the short train
which runs from Kansas City to st. Joseph
On the Missouri Pacific railroad at Winthrop
Station at an early hour on the morning of
July 9, and between there and the st. Joseph
junction robbed the United States express
company's safe of two hundred and fifty dol
ars and package Of iewelry belonging to
Baldwin and Co., st. Joseph. The robbers
are unknown.
Another account ssys the train was local
train, running between Atchison and the
main line Of the Kansas City, st. Joe and
Council Bluffs road to connect with the train
from Kansas City. The robbers boarded the
the train ut Winthrop, covered the express
messenger, Si,nons, with revolvers, and in the
presence OF four passengers opened the safe.
J. G. Connolly. baggage master, and Frank
Ferhardt, depot watchmsn, were also covered
with revolvers and searched for weapons bnt
none foun! on them. They then took from
the safe the jewellery and expressed great
surprise that there was no more money in the
safe, and asked where the other packages
were. 1t appears Simons refused 10 receive
valuable money package from the north.
ward bound train destined for Atchison and
the theory is, the robbers knew this package
was on the way, and expected to lind it in ST.
mons safe. When the train arrived ut the
junction the robbers made Simons signal the
engineer to stop the train, and they leaped
of and disappeared, after promising to return
Simon's pistol which they had taken from
him.
