of which proved fatal.
The scene in the criminal court room
when Judge Kerr passed the sentence of

ToWne Wins.

Duluth, Mimi, June 30. - Charles A.
Towne has carried the primaries in St.
Louis county for the Republican nominal
ton for congressman. The caucuses re-
suited in sweeping defeat in the city
of Hon. o. d. Kinney and hi. friends,
they only securing seven delegates as
against sixty-six for the Towne forces,
with outside precincts, nearly all of
which were carried for Kinney, he will
have about sixty delegates in the county
convention, or five or six less than a
majority. Some of the Towne delegates
are friendly to Paul Sharvey for sheriff,
and he probably can be renaminated if he
desires it. The defeat of Kinney also
ends the candidacy of Monroe Nichols for
clerk of the supreme court.
