After the adoption of the report of the
committee the Convention adjourned
sine die.
The torch-light procession and ratifica-
ton meeting Of the Prohibitionists did
not materialize as Col. Sobieski who was
to be one of the speakers, failed to arrive
in time. However, he arrived last night
on the overland train, and it was deter
mined to have the meeting tomorrow
evening. There will be no tore hight
procession but the speaking will take
place on the platform erected by the
Democrats in front of the Court House.
Col. Sobieski is very humorous and en-
tertaining lecturer and has become much
noted in the East by his temperance lec-
lures and the lecture on the Downfall
of Poland" he being of Polish descent.
DIR. Goodwin, who has been very active
in Southern California as temperance
and Prohibition orator and organizer,
will also address the meeting.
A Flighty Runaway.
A runaway horse had things all his
own way and created good deal Of ex-
citement in town about noon yesterday.
He came dashing down Hill street with
the two front wheels of wagon trailing
behind him and shreds of tattered har-
ness dragging on the ground. He made
detour on to Fort street, along which
thoroughfare he proceeded at full gallop
to Franklin, where he turned and went
for Spring street. He succeeded in
breaking up three or four buggies on this
artery OF traffic and nearly ran over seve-
raj ladies and children who were crossing
