The girl waiting in the darkness ex-
pected to hear the sudden crash and
uproar of a fight as soon as the three
creeping men should reach the barn.
When she arrived, however, she gazed
about her bewildered. The men were
gone. She searched with her eys, try
ing to detect some moving thing but she
could see nothing.
Left alone again, she began to be
afraid of the night. The great stretches
of darkness could hide crawling dan
gers. From sheer desire to see human,
she was obliged to peep again at the
knCt-hole. The sentry had apparently
wearied of talking. Instead he was re-
fecting. The prisoner still sat on the
feed-box, modify staring at the floor.
The girl felt in one way that she was
looking at a CHASTITY group in wax. She
started when the old horse put down
an echoing hoof She wished the men
strange aspect. They might have been
two dead men.
The girl felt impelled to look at the
corner of the interior where were the
ccW-stalls. There was no light there
save the appearance of peculiar gray
ming rays of the lantern All else was
sombre shadow. At last she saw some
thing move there. 1t might have been as
small as a rat or 1t might have been a
part of something as large as man. At
any rate It proclaimed that something
in that spot was alive. At one time she
saw it plainly and at other times it van
iShed, because her fixture of gaze caused
her occasionally to greatly tangle and
blur those peculiar shadows and faint
lights. At last, however, she perceived
a human head. 1t was monstrously dis
hevelled and wild 1t moved slowly for

DOUBLE MURDER.
Author of the Crime u DissoIute
Stepson.

SANTA BARBARA, Cal, July g.
Mrs. H. R. Richardson, aged So, and
her 17-year-old daughter, Ethel, were
murdered last night near here. There
is no clue to the murderer, but sus-
picion points to Scott Richardson, a
dissolute stepson of Mrs. Richardson,
who had made frequent threats to kill
her. The only other theory suggested
is that the murders were committed
by tramp.
A workman discovered the body Of
the daughter in a vacant field near
Her throat had been cut and there
were several wounds in the back of her
head. A trail was found leading from
the front door to Mrs. Richardson S
bedroom. Near the bed lay the body
of Mrs. Richardson, face downward,
in a pool of blood. A bullet hole in
the head of the bed and another in
the window easement told of her eff
forts to escape the pistol of her as
saSsin. Below the woman'S left eye
was bullet hole and there was an
other through the left hand. About
the face and forehead there were sew
eral deep gashes and the back Of her
head had been beaten by a stick
loaded with lead. When found Mrs.
Richardson was still alive, but she did
not recover consciousness and died at
noon The murder was probably COM
united about 10 o'clock last night, both
victims being clad in their night
clothes

CHICAGO, July 6.-Senators Stewart
and Gorham, with Congressman New
lands, called on the Utah delegation
in executive session today. The object
OF their visit was to urge the nomina-
ton of Teller Senator Stewart did
the talking. He said Teller was the
only man who could be elected. and
told very pretty story about men
who were patriots and not partisans,
and how much good the Democrats
could do If they would only sacrifice a
little of their partisanship in the in
serest of silver.
Gorham also urged the nomination
of Teller
After hearing what the gentlemen
had to say, the. delegates gave them
to understand very y positively that
they would not support Teller so long
as there was a silver Democrat in the
field who was qualified for the place.
What is known as the Utah tariff
plank" which was drawn by Mr.. Raw
Inns and given out by Judge Powers
last week, is meeting with general
favor.
Mr. Rawlins hasarbeen before sew
eral delegations by invitation. today
to explain his position. He said to-
night that there was every reason to
believe that the Utah plank will be
adopted by the convention.
Late last night the silver men
learned that the gold people had by
personal appeals induced a few silver
delegations, like Oregon, West Virginia
and North Dakota, to agree to vote for
Hill for temporary chairman on the
ground that it was not right to turn
him down, because he could not do sill
yer any harm anyway, and that he
would only be in the chair a few hours.
This alarmed the silver men and sew
eral committees were appointed, one of
which was headed by Judge Powers, of
Utah, to go out and rustic pledged
votes for Senator Daniels The Judge
reported to the Herald at IL o'clock that
532 votes had been secured for Daniels
and that several more states were to
be heard from.
Senator HILL has just told a news
paper man that he had not prepared a
speech. because he knew the silver
men would not let him deliver it.
This is a night of great anxiety for
the silver men, because while they feel
sure of majority, they will not
breathe freely until they have their
man actually in the chair. They fear
trickery and are using every precau-
ton to guard against it.
Hon. J. w. Burton, who represents
Utah on the national committee. says
the contest in the committee was very
heated today.
Sixty-six visitors tickets were dis
tributed among Utah people today. and
several were unable to get tickets.

Silver Men, However, Will Not Lay
Down.
CHICAGO, July 6.-Tne silver men were
not prepared for the announcement of the
selection of Senator Hill for the position
of temporary chairman by the national
committee They had counted confidently
upon securing the cooperation of a suffi-
cient number of gold men of the COM
mittee to secure the recommendation Of
Senator Daniel.
When the silver committe held its first
meeting its members were congratulate
ing themselves upon the probability of
the selection of Senator Daniel. When
they met again in the evening they show
but they were not noticeably discouraged.
They asserted more positively than ever
their
DETERMINATION TO SECURE CON-
troll
of the temporary organization regardless
of the action of the committee. They
took the position that the result was Sc
cured by open intimidation. The inter
view between Mr.. Whitney and Commit
teeman Norris of the District of Columbia
was referred to as a specimen of the
gold mems tactics, and It was stated in
the meeting that Mr. Whitney had even
threatened to ruin Mr.. Norris in his bust
ness II ne SnOCiQ persist IN his QetSfInl-
nation to support g silver man for tenn
poray chairman. The
PLAN OF THE SILVER MEN
will now be to have report prepared
by the minority of the committee pre-
senting their choice for the position, and
to seat him at all hazards if it appears
that a majority of the committee are with
them, as they surely will be. The COM
mittee meeting was attended by repre-
Sentatives from twenty-siX states, all of
whom stated that their states were pre-
pared 10 follow the instructions Of the
leaders designated by the committee in
every move they might make. 1t devel-
oped that it was the plan of the COM
nittee to select men to make all the i'm
may be necessary in the convention, and
that none out these shall be supported
by the silver men, whatever the motion
or suggestion.
The question of the advisability of hold
ing a general caucus was discussed at the
day, meeting, but the fact appearing that
the members of the committee were
NOT SUFFICIENTLY INSTRUCTED
on this point. the committee adjourned
until night without taking action, in or
various silver delegations on this ques-
ton. 1t appears from a vote taken that
there were 432 delegates represented in
the conference, but that only 20S of them
had indicated their preference upon the
advisability OF a caucus. OF these l2S
were for the caucus. Governor Altgeld
suggested that If a caucus should be held
there should be an understanding that no
speeches be made.
