The Third National Congress Con-
venes at Denver.
TWO HUNDRED DELEGATES PRESENT
Seventeen Western States and Territories,
Besides Canada. Russia, Mexico and
Other Countries Representative
Objects of the Meeting.

DENVER, Col, Sept. 4.-The third
national irrigation congress convened
at the Broadway theater yesterday.
There were about 200 delegates in at
tendance, representing seventeen west
ern states and territories. Represent
ativeS are present from Canada, Rus
STA and several other European coun-
tries. Don j. Ramon de YbOral1a pre-
sented credentials as the personal rep
resentatye of President Diaz of Mex
leo. The United States government is
represented by 81. Newell, Arthur p.
Davis and Morris Bean, of the general
land Office and geological survey.
The first object of the convention
will be the formulation of bill to be
presented to the next congress regard
ing the reclamation of the arid lands
of the west. After this will come the
question whether or not the meeting
shall indorSe the recent acting of con-
gress in ceding 1000, 900 acres of arid
land to each state and territory in lieu
of the western proposition to have the
government reclaim these lands. Col
orado will oppose this plan on the
grounds that the western states and
territories have not the money to de-
ve1op these lands after they come in
possession of them.
The congress was called to order by
National Secretary William NJ. Smythe,
who delivered his annual address.
Gov. Waite, who has gone to the pop
ulist state convention at Pueblo, well
coined the delegates to the state
through his private secretary: NJ. Lo-
REM Mayor Van Horn and President
Byers. of the chamber of commerce,
welcomed them to the city.
Ex-Gov. Prince, of New Mexico, intro
duced resolution giving every person
who has come to this convention a
right to participate, regardless of the
representation fixed by the Los Angeles
congress.
After considerable discussion the res
olution was referred to the committee
on credentials. George Q. Cannon, of
Salt Lake City, was unanimously chos-
en- temporary chairman. The commit
tee on credentials was then appointed,
and a recess taken until O'clock.
On reassembling, the committee on
credentials submitted a resolution,
which was adopted, to tire effect that
each state and territory represented be
entitled to it's full vote, and that all
persons appointed by any authority be
permitted voice in determining how
the vote of his state or territory shall
be cast.
Committees on permanent organiza-
ton, resolutions and rules and order of
business, each consisting of one dele
gate from each state and territory, was
the next business transacted. After a
short recess the committee on perma-
nent organization recommended for
permanent officers of the congress: Ed
ward Mead, of Wyoming, president;
John C. Foster. of Kansas, first vice
president; Thomas L. Smith, of Colo
RADIO, secretary; A. NJ. West, of Cali
fornia, first assistant secretary; 81. v.
Hinckley, of Kansas.

FORT SCOTT, Kan, Sept. 8. -Judge
Foot, of Marion, populist member of
the state board of pardons, stated that
negotiations were now pending, exclu-
sively in the populist party. for the
withdrawal of Willard, their candidate
for congress, in favor of Moore, the
democratic nominee, and that they
were also considering the proposition
to withdraw Clark, their candidate for
associate justice, in favor of Judge j.
D. McCleverty, the democratic nom
inee. This, he argued, would assure
the populists the support of thousands
of Indifferent democrats in the state
and thus elect the other candidates On
their state ticket.

said yesterday afternoon that neither
he nor his brother George were at all
apprehensive of going back to Linn
county, and that when the circuit
court convened at Linneus, the first
Monday in September, they would be
there, and would be ready for trial.
Taylor said he has no fear that an
effort will be made to lynch him and
his brother. In his opinion the re-
ported intense feeling there against
them has been greatly overdrawn.

-Four Men Relieve a Cashier at Teseott OF

SALEEA, Kan, Sept. 3.-The quiet
village of Tescott, 20 miles northwest
of here, was visited by band of bank
robbers Saturday morning, who per-
formed their work in true Dalton style.
Shortly after the bank had opened for
business four masked men, heavily
armed, appeared in front of the bank
building. Two remained on guard out
side while two entered-the bank. One
of the men advanced upon the ca shier
with a cooked revolver in one hand,
knife in the other, and demanded 81, 600.
The other robber fred several shots
from a revolver into the ceiling. With
out much delay the money was handed
over, which the robbers put into a bag.
An old farmer who happened to be
in the bank at the time was compelled
at the point of a gun to hand over what
money he had. Then the robbers
backed out of the front door, where
their comrades had attracted the at
tention of the citizens by their masked
appearance. Fire was opened by the
citizens and lively battle took place,
during which boy of 10 years named
John Swartz, was shot Yin the leg, the
bullet severing an artery. Before
help reached him he b1ed profusely and
cannot recover. The robbers mounted
and made their escape.
