four attempts, at which both laughed
heartily, the young boy finally sue
ceeded by sudden jerk in wrestling
himself from his uncle. At the time
he was on the side nearest to the
wagon. He gave such violent jerk
that when he became released he fell
down in front Of the wheels and both
wheels of the wagon passed over his
chest before the father, who was driv-
ing the team and was on the other
side of the wagon, was made aware of
what had happened.
The boy was picked up and taken
to the house, where he died fifteen
minutes later. Coroner Gibson was
notified Monday morning and after
hearing all the particulars decided
that an inquest was unnecessary. He
decided that internal hemmorhages
was the cause of death. The funeral
over the remains occurred last Tues
day.

Mckinley THE winner.
Has Over Six Hundred Votes To
His Credit,

According to dispatches received by
HE GAZETTE up to late yesterday
afternoon Maj. VIM. Mckinley of Ohio
would be nominated for President by
the National Republican convention
yesterday afternoon, or will be to-day.
1t is probable that Levi P. Morton,
Governor of New York and ex-vice-
President, will again be his running
mate, although the nomination will be
against the expressed wish of Gov.
Morton and in the interests of har-
mony, he being the one man whom
both factions in New York can unite
upon.
Mckinley will have about $40 votes
on the first ballot, and it only requires
about $50 votes to nominate. It is
probable that after his nomination an
adjournment will be taken and the
vice-president not nominated until the
following day.
The convention was first called to
order at 1920 by Chairman Carter,
who explained some mistakes in the
arrangement of the hall, as soon as
order was secured, after which he in
troduced Rabbi Sale of St. Louis, who
offered prayer. Chairman Carter
then introduced Charles w, Fair
banks of Indiana as temporary chair
man of the convention. He was
elected without opposition and alb
sorbed nearly the remainder of Tues
day afternoons session in making a
speech, which was frequently and
heartily applauded.
After the speech 10 Manley read
the official call, the various COM
mittees were announced, and then
the convention adjourned until We'd
nesday morning.
The biggest fight appears to be on
in the New York delegation over an
effort headed by ex-senator Warner
Miller of Herkimer to down Tom
Plat, the result of which was to bring

haps, has been don all around in foreign
wool. The effect Of the easiness in Lon
