IN THE WRONG BOX
Story of the PopuIist Who Strayed Into a
Democratic Convention.


The Democratic party must have de-
generated a great deal when one OF its
own veterans did not know it.
II is well known that the recent DEM
ocratic and Populistic conventions were
held on the same day in this city.
Mr.. Ransom who has been a Demo-
crat for half century, but who recent
ly fiopped. was elected a delegate to the
PopuIist convention.
The Pop conventions are usually held
in Zeiningar hall but the Democrats
held forth there this year and the Pop
= ulists met in Garfield hall
Frank Belew heard that Mr. Ransom
was coming 70 town as a Populist dele
gate and he wanted 10 invite him 10
dinner. He accordingly went UP TO the
Pop convention but he could find no
trace or tidings Of Mr.. Ransom there
He was told that he had not been seen
there. Frank finally gave UP all hope OF
finding him and he returned home only
10 find Mr.. Ransom there ahead OF him.
Where have you been?" asked
Frank.
Il have been TO the Populist conven-
ton" replied Mr. Ransom.
They told me you hadn't been there"
said Frank.
We'll. I have" said Mr.. Ransom.
and ! was appointed one OF the COM
mittee on credentials. I just left the
hall and came down here"
What hall were you at?" asked
Frank, smelling a mouse.
i don't know the name OF the hail."
said Mr. Ransom, but IL was that
place where you can look out the front
window and see Schneitzler's joint"
why. there is where the Democrats
have their convention" said Frank
Il guess not" said Mr.. Ransom. for
/ know 1 was at a Populist cOnyen-
ton
After dinner Mr.. Ransom returned 10
the hall and asked the chairman what
kind of a convention ne was in.
This" said the chairman, rs a DEM
ocratic convention
''WeH then" said Mr.. Ransom. with
an opology, II am IN the wrong box
this time sure" and picking up his hat
and coat and fan ne went over 10 the
Populist convention.
His place was not filed in the credeu-
tials committee OF the Democratic con-
ventiou and the chairman never told
The convention that there was horse
on him and one on Mr.. Ransom also.

Sunday afternoon about half past two
o'clock G. B. Mogle of Cheney was kill
ed in the Walnut river and the body
drowned
Sunday morning four young men
started for Augusta on horseback and
while crossing the Walnut river Mr..
Mogie was thrown from his animal in
the middle OF the stream The horse
kicked him on the forehead and killed
him and the body went to the bottom
That is probably how it happened
Another story is that where he was
thrown the water was very deep and he
took hold OF the horses tail and went
with him % shore. The horse then find
ing his footing kicked Mr.. Mogie back
into the water where he was drowned
while unconscious. None OF the details
could be learned directly from eye-wtt-
nesses
The body remained in the water two
hours before il was recovered. The re-
mains were taken home 10 Cheney yes
terday for burial
Mr.. Mogel was jeweler at Cheney,
and was - years of age. He was an
exemplary young man and was highly
respected in the community in which he
lived. Many persons living here knew
him we'll and they were as sorry to
hear OF his death as they were euIogis-
tic in their praise OF him.
The young men who accompanied him
were Ernest Wakefield. Charles Chad
and ]. P. Goode. Neither could prevent
the accident and did all in their power
10 rescue the body from the water.
