a plank for free silver at the ratio or
16 to 1, he would not have longer been
a candidate and could not have been in
duced to accept the nomination If It had
been accorded him.
When the committee escorted General
Hardin to the hall there were the Wild
est scenes and shouting. General Har-
din accepted the nomination in an elo-
uuent appeal for harmony, without re-
ferring to any issues of the contest. He
spoke briefly.
For lieutenant governor the names OF
r. T. Tyler, M. B. Brown and oscar

vention adjourned at $3.50.
General Hardin is as pronounced FOR
free silver as Senator Blackburn and
his race against Clay was on that issue.

sound money delegates and especially
after he had Judge Becknor, the tenn
porary chairman, adopt compromise

Marshal Of Sprague Killed by a
Desperate Prisoner.
WAS EN- ROUTE TO RlTZWLLE
Three Bullets Through the Heart, one
Each Through the Head, Shout
der and Hip.

Ritzyille. Wash, June 25.-For long
time a. warrant has been in the possess
sion of the officers for the arrest OF Al
fred Symes, noted cattle rustler'
known as Jesse James," and VINO mas
always been considered as hard cltl-
zen by those acquainted with him. He
was a member Of the gang who had
hang-out in rocky cave IN VITA
country near Rock lake and which was
unearthed recently by the Whitman
County Stock Association.
Yesterday Symes was in Sprague ana
was seen by Constable L. A. Conlee,
who has for years acted as detective Tor
the cattle men. Conlee arrested the
man, and short while after noon start
ed with him on horseback for RitZvllle.
The two horses were tied together. and
when about five miles from Ritzville
the prisoner in some way OVe1pOWefeu
his captor and secured his gun. With the
the officers own revolver Symes shot
six bullets into Conlee, three passing
through the neart, one through the head
and one each in the shoulder and hip.
He then secured the two horses and
about o'clock last evening was seen
going north towards the British line.
The tragedy must have occurred
about 5 o'clock, as the railroad section
men heard the shooting a short while
before time to go in.
The body was not found until about
clock this morning. It was discovered
by Hugh Rankin, who. met the two men
a few minutes before the tragedy and
who caught the horses and turned them
over to Symes, who informed him that
Conlee had been thrown but not serious
ly hurt. Mr.. Rankin, after thinking the
matter over, was not satisfied with the
story told him about Conlee being
thrown and mounted his horse this
morning and started out to investigate,
with the result above stated. He noti-
fled the authorities here and coroner's
jury went to the scene and hold an in
quest, after which the body was brought
to town and prepared for shipment to
Sprague, where the dead man has a
wife and two children.
kilograms were sent in all directions,
warning the authorities and today Sher-
if Thompson with well-armed and de-
term1ned posse started out after the
murderer.
SYMES IS A DEAD SHOT.
Symes lives about IA miles from Ritz
vile, near the Whitman county line.
and is we'll known here and in Sprague.
He is an exceedingly pleasant sort Of
man, extremely polite, and, while re-
garded as rather crooked, was not con-
s1dered so very desperate. The MUIR
derer is tall, slim man with a light
sandy mustache, freckled face and very
prominent front teeth. He is an EXPERT
horseman and dead shot.
