The Kindred Conyenttoa.


As soon as order could be restored after the
boiling delegation had withdrawn, Chairman
Holmes called upon all Republicans who were
willing to abide by the decision of the ma
jority to remain. But few appeared to leave
the room.
On motion committee on credentials was
appointed; also committee Of three on res.
olutions and one OF the same number On
permanent organization.
The committee on permanent organization
reported Geo. Fl. johnson, of Detroit, for
permanent chairman and D. j. Knox for
secretary. The report was unanimously
adopted amid wild cheers.
Col. johnson came forward and spoke
substantially as follows:

had been Nelson man from the COM
mencement of the campaign, and took no stock
in the hue and cry of nationality that
had been raised against him. I favored him
because he was soldier. When the country
was in danger he responded to the reveille Of
the nation, shouldered musket and for three
years OF shot and shell, through battle and to
death, he carried the eagle of his country and
his state to honor and to victory. Wounded

addressed the boilers, giving his version of
the action OF the congressional district COM
mittee, it is but fair that should give my
statement OF the matter. Some days ago
made copy OF the counties and delegates and
the relative strength of the candidates. Under
the ruling that proposed to make went to
Moorhead and submitted it to Mr.. Comstock,
who heartily approved of it as a way out OF
the difficulty. He went further and stated that
he would support the man thai was nominated
under that ruling. Ex-Lieut. Gov. Barto, also
was in my office yesterday, approved
of it, and only this morning
did hear that they had changed

A Quiet Day In Camp, Eniivened BY Nu-
merous Visitors.
There was very little of interest Transporting
at the enbampment yesterday. The camp was
visited by number of citizens from differ
emit portions of the state, and
this, together with the visit
of the Chicago knights was about all that
broke the monotony Of camp life during most
of the day. The Buys have settled down to
the regular routine Of military camp life, and
60 through their daily duties like little men,
or rather like soldiers.
The two battslious had brigade drill last
evening for the first time, and made fine
display.
4 little military discipline was enacted
yesterday, In which private Of company B,
Second battalion, was the victim. 1t
seems he refused to accompany
the company into camp and yesterday he
visited the camp with a couple OF lady
friends. Upon making his appearance he
was arrested and placed in the guard house,
and after being held some time was hooted
out of camp with orders not to return.
It is understood that the grand review by the
governor and his staff will take place to-mor-
row (Friday)
The second battalion has concluded not to
remain over Sunday but the different COM
panies will return home on Saturday.

ner which brought down the house. BE said
they accused Nelson of being an intidel, but in
and his religion should not fall into the con-
troversy. BE had brought up twenty five
solid votes from st Paul and was preparing
to move into the district, thinking the light
ming might strike him, but he was mis-
taken. he was pleased with the nomination
and was like the Irishman who said one man
was as good 40 the other and id sight bet
ter, AID he thought one nominee here to-day
was damned sight better than the other.
Nelson had stood by some of his friends and
he felt grateful for it. He would stand by
him.
Comstock wound up the speeches by thank
ing God for such Norwegians as Nielsen, and
he prayed for more. No one had asked Kindred
to be candidate. he had forced himself on
the people, willis Nelson had repeatedly been
asked to serve them, and they wanted him to
do % now.
After authorising the chairman to appoint
district committee OF nine, the convention
adjourned.
OF course, some allowance must be made for
the Inconvenience OF the tent, there being

Strawberries are this year nearly six
weeks later than usual. The first ship
ment received in San Francisco this year
consisted of five baskets, each represent
ing one pound Of berries, and reached
that market on the 18th inst. from L.
P. Alexander's ranch in Santa Clara
County, Cal. They were Of poor quality,
but brought 81 a basket. On the 14th
inst. a commission merchant received the
second installment, consisting of - bas-
kets, and selling for 81 Is each. They
came from P. Swall of Mountain View,
Santa Clara County. The first strawber-
ries received in San Francisco in 1881
came to hand March 7 and sold for 80 cents
a pound. Nearly all the berries sold in
San Francisco are grown in Santa Clara
County, by Chinese, who work the land
on shares. The owners of the land fur
nish the plants and teams to convey the
berries to shipping points, the Chinese
contributing their labor and personal ex-
penses for one-half the proceeds. There
are also some companies Of Chinese who
are growers on their own account and who
do their own marketing.

THE KNIFE.
A MurderOus Assault Upon the
Sheriff of Douglas County.


The Carson Tribune gives the following
account Of the cutting ARRAY last Sunday
night, which was briefly referred to in our
kilograms, and which resulted in Sheriff
Williams Of Douglas County receiving a
stab in the side which is likely to prove
fatal: 1t appears that Jerry Raycraft had
an alteration with his brother Tom in
Livingstone's Saloon last evening about )
o'clock, and that when the barkeeper at
tempted to separate the brothers, Jerry
beat him numerically. Jerry then went
to his home, and in a short time returned
to the saloon, vowing vengeance against
everything apd everybody. Meantime
Sheriff Williams had been sent for, and
repairing to the house of the disturbance
told Jerry, in his usual quiet way, that if
he did not behave himself he would be
compelled to arrest him. Jerry replied
that no one could do that, when the Sher-
if grabbed him, saying, "Im the man
who can do it," Whereupon the Infatuated
man drew something from his pocket,
which, in the dusk of the evening, the
Sheriff thought to be q revolver, and
caught the man by the wrist, when with a
Jerk he drew his arm away, drawing the
blade of a large Bowie knife through the
Sherif's hand, nearly s~evering the dexter
finger, and Immediately plunged the muir
derous blade into the Sheriff side, cutting
a fearful cash below the twelfth rib at its
junction with the spine. DR.. Lee probed
the wound four inches downwalds towards
the spine. 1t is a fearful and dangerous
wound, and it will be a miracle if the poor
man RECEIVERS. The would-he murderer
was finally arrested by his brother-a
Deputy Shorthand locked up.
