The afternoon session was an exciting
one. The first ballot of the afternoon SEES
HALL wITHDRAWs.

Upon the announcement of the vote Mr.
Donnelly took the floor in the interest of
harmony. He said the nomination of Mr..
Hall would be inadvisable and would result
injuriously to the alliance. Mr.. Hall had
publicly insulted him by ordering him TO
keep away from the district conven tson and
his (Mr. Donnelly's) friends would not for
get it, In view of this feeling he proposed
that as a compromise candidate ?. II.
Rahilly be chosen.
Mr. Hall followed, releasing his friends
from further supporting him and favorlng
some compromise candidate. Mr.. Donnelly
then moved that rising vote be taken on
the selection of a compromise candidate,
but the chairman (Mr. Hall ruled the
motion out of order.
Mr.. Rahielly said that he did not propose
to accept any office.
AN EDITOR THE NOMINEE.
Finally, after scene of confusion, the
balotlng by roll call was resumed. 1t soon
became apparent that a number were in
favor of the compromise, for on this ballot
few votes were cast for either Mr.. Hall or
Mr.. Donnelly, and the current was in fav or
of Mr.. Owen, editor of the Farm, Stock
and Home, published in Minneapolis.
When it was apparent that a majority had
already been cast for him, Mr.. Baker
moved that the nomination be made unani-
nous, and the convention made it so.
The candidate spoke of his dislike for
public Office. and thanked them for the
honor done him. He had for years studied
the principles which the convention was
now advocating, and now other offices and
stores must be made to understand that
productive industries are not receiving a
tithe of what is their right They should
reap dollars where they now reap cents.
DoNNELLy CoMMENDs HIM.
Mr. Donnelly was called for, and in the
course of his speech he warmly commended
the character and standing Of the new can
didate.
Mr.. Hall said that the nominee will
strengthen the ticket, and will go far to-
ward leading to the victory that will fol-
low.
Without further trouble the ticket was
completed as follows:

A SULPHUR SPRING.

Almost within the limits of this fine grove
is a sulphur spring, at out thirty yards across
and more than 13S feet in depth in one
place. Capt. Friend and your correspond
eat took a plunge from an eight-foot EN-
bankment and found the waters delight
fully refreshing. Many persons having
skin diseases have visited this spring from
the famous Hotel Brock house at Enter
PRISE first and last. and it is said that these
waters have healed them.
We dined at Mr.. Campbells, near this
spring, and found him to be an enterprising
truck farmer. On a piece of ground, less
than a quarter of an acre, he has already
gathered twenty-five barrels of Irish pota-
toes, for which he has received from So so
to "a per barrel, ten or eleven pecks being
in barrel. He has a number of barrels
yet TO gather. He has sold these potatoes
at Sanford and Enterprise.
We set sail from this huge shell mound,
upon which it is said house once stood and
was occupied. 1t rises some ten or twelve
feet above the level of the lake, and shows
that hundreds of tons of she'll have been re-
moved in recent years Old Enterprise was
located here in the long ago We crossed
over from this mound to Sanford in the
afternoon, with a fair wind. within thirty
eight minutes, and that is considered good
sailing.

Apcadwood sensat,on,

DEApwoop, July 7.-Grace Nfeman,
better known in this city as Grace Fraw-
ley. has created > sensation by filing D
complaint before Police Judge Hall,
charging Henry Frawley and j. p.
LATER with assault and battery. Henry
Frawley is one OF tho best known Grim
inal LAWYERS in South Dakota. He has
lived with the woman Grace for the past
year: Six months ago hegave her money
and clothing and sent her to convent
at Cincinnati. Grace had only been
away q short time when she heard that
frawley was about to marry another
woman. She returned to Eeadwood
at once and although she has
not lived with the attorney she has
made it very warm for him on different
occasions. On Thursday evening she
entered Frawley's law Office. Frawley,
his brother Jim, j. ?. LATER, his steno-
grapher, and woman, said to be Miss
Anderson, were there. Grace always
carries revolver and the men were
afraid she would shoot. Frawley and
LATER made an effort to get the gun and
desperate struggle ensued. In the
scutfle the wonSn was badly bruised on
the arm and limbs. She will testify in
the courts that LATER held her while
Frawley pounded and kicked her.
Some sensational developments are
likely to be divulged when the case
comes to trial.
