Silver Men Decided Last
Night to Leave the
Convention.
Affecting Scene-Old
Leaders in Tears

ST.. LOUIS, June 1.-THE Colorado
delegation held meeting tonight and
decided in positive terms to leave the
convention in a body upon the adop-
tion Of the platform containing decla-
ration for the gold standard. It has
been frequently announced that they
were to pursue this course, but there
has really been more or less doubt
up till tonight that they would,
Senator Teller was present and told the
other memb bers of the delegation that he
appreciated the utmost gravity of the
step, and that Notwithstanding their in
structions to be governed by his opinion
he felt that the occasion was one when
every man should be guided largely by
his own opinion. The decision to 20
from the convention was unanimous.
The Idaho delegation as body, with
the majority of Wyoming and Nevada
and part of the Montana and North
Carolina delegation will go out with the
Colorado delegation.
The feature of the day was the action
OF Senator Teller and other silver mem
bers OF the committee on the financial
plank. Senator Teller opened the op-
position to the platfrom by Offering his
amendment for free and independent
coinage at ratio of l6 to l. Neither
he nor his colleagues had any hopes
that Teller's opposition would prevail
and the Colorado senator took the floor
to announce that he could no longer act
with the republican party if a gold plank
was continued IN the platform. His ad-
dress was most affecting. His express
sion of regret that he had
reached the parting of the ways,
moved some of his colleagues to tears.
Chairman Foraker, Governors War
mouth, Merriam and 40 the members
OF the committee supporting the ma
jority report, united in saying that they
never witnessed such scene. Senator
Teller displayed no bitterness but he was
impressively sad in expressing his regret
at what he termed the act of the party,
in leaving him and his associates.
Bnt it was left to other men,
bers from the west, notably
Dubois, Cannon and Hartman to be-
come more emotionably impressive than
their leader. The hearts of the veteran
politicians melted like those of children.
There we're tears which we're not shed
for dramatic effect Among the speakers
was Asa Cleveland of Nevada, who ex-
pressed his admiration for Mckinley.
He said he would oppose him with ali
his might, as he knew Mckinley would
not only stand on the platform but that
he would carry it out to the letter,
The speeches produced sadness, not
applause, there was no cheering by the
victors when they carried their point by
a vote of Al to 10. The committee was
in executive session all day

UNDER THE WHEELS.
Unknown Man Killed at Bloom
While Attempting to Steal
a Ride.

An unknown man, trying to beat his
way east, fell under the wheels of a
freight train at Bloom Monday evening
and was instantly killed. The body was
brought to the city and buried this
afternoon, prayer for the unfortunate
being offered at the grave by Rev. @. H.
Phillips. The coronor's jury rendered a
verdict OF death as result Of his own
carelessuess and that the railroad COM
pany was blameless.
From different sources the scanty IN
formation is learned that the man, wLo
was known as CAL" was west bound
with bis brother Jack" a boy Of 10.
When the two reached Steele they fell
IN with couple OF partners east bound
who later gave the names OF Mike Reilly
and John Griffin. The party beat their
way here on trans arriving Friday
night. Saturday evening all but "Jack'
were run in for peddllng eyeglasses and
spectaoles. They we're held until Mon
day and in the afternoon released. Jack
IN the meantime had gotten work at Joe
Reynolds livery barn washing buggies
and Monday secured a job herding and
left for the ranch at 3 p. IN. Shortly
after his departure Gal" showed up at
the barn to see his brother and tell him
he was going east. He seemed disap-
pointed at not finding "Jack" and left
word for him. This was the last seen of
"Al" until his mangled body was brought
back. Who "Jack'' hired out to is un-
known. His employer was not known to
Mr.. Reynolds, though he could be easily
recognized if seen again.
The trio tramped toward Spiritwood
and at Bloom, where the steam shovel is
working, saw repairs to the track IN pro-
gress and concluded the place a good one
Jump" a train. Freight No. 81, Humes
conductor, passed about O'Clock and
Gal" made the attempt-and failed. His
partners tried to dissuade him, they
would not venture old timers that they
were.The man only secured hold with one
hand, his body swung under the train
and the wheels nearly decapitated him.
The neck was broken and death was
instantaneous.
The body was badly mutilated. The
left arm was cut off above the elbow and
the right above the wrist. The head
was nearly severed from the trunk. the
left leg broken and the toes Of one foot
crushed Bruises covered the face and
the left side OF the trunk.
HIS name has not yet been discovered.
The few papers found on his person give
no clue. On his right arm was tatooed
a woman's form and on his left a rude
dagger. On the opposite side of the arm
from the dagger was q Dice, ace up. He
was about 80 years old, medium height
and wore a moustache.
Griffin said the man came from Mason
City, or Davenport, Iowa. he didn't
know which. Gal" had been married
but separated from his wife. He claimed
to be machinist-had worked at the
cigar trade Griffin thought him some.
what crazy IN his talk.

when he announced the unalteraDle op-
position of the party to a fifty cent
dollar" The silver men from the
West, headed by Senator Teller, how
ever, took no part in the demonstration.
They sat perfectly silent. Senator
Tellers lip curled with scorn.
The Name Of Blaine.
The magnetic name of Blaine, as he
attributed to the great Republican idol
the authorship of the reciprocity plan,
carried hundreds of men to their feet,
and was the signal for cheers from all
parts of the building. His expressions
Of sympathy for struggling Cuba were
also warmly greeted. As he closed
with declaration that the issue was
protection and honest money against
free trade and free silver, the conven-
tion heartily cheered. Mr.. Fairbanks
then assumed the gavel and the real
work of the convention began.
The roll of the convention was called
for committees, and then the conven.
ton adjourned for the day.

They feel that in California, Oregon, the
Dakotas, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming,
Utah, Colorado, Nevada, Nebraska, Iowa,
Michigan, Illinois. and perhsps, even IN
Ohio, they have got to make fight for
the election. The political situation is
peculiar. No politician, however ex-
perienced, has ever had such situation
to deal with before. There is too much
obscurity to warrant any obvious risks
being taken. The vote of New York in
the election can not be thrown away
The full sympathy and assistance OF
Quay, Platt and Allison and the rest OF
the Mckinley forces are needed after
the convention has finished it's work. In
this lies the strength Of the combine
bosses. The Mckinley people have the
convention. Platt and Quay want it
made clear that their defeat is not their
annihilation. They intend to show their
power IN defeat.
Morton of New York has indicated a
willingness to accept the vice presiden-
tial nomination. He is needed to keep
New York in line.
NORTH DAKOTA DELEGATES FOR GOLD.

Contest Renewed.

The great membership contest ended
Saturday evening at 10 o'clock amid great
excitement and enthus. asm at the Y. NJ.
c. A. building. The Longs, who had dis
t.nguished themselves by being IN second
place for twenty-five days. made great
rush at the last moment, running the
score up from 105 to 1913. making twenty
eight members alone that day. The Shorts
had anticipated this ruse and prepared
themselves accordingly. and by a bit of
clever work just before the clock struck 10
raised the score TO lbs points by naming
five members. This was too much for the
Longs. but they soon rallied from their
small defeat.
Capt. Ewing at once explained how 1t
happened, and said II his side had only
had few moments more work they could
do up the Shorts. Therefore. in the name

newal with a vigor which means much for
the future of the association. The total

this country today tAat ranks higher in
the public estimation than does the Grau
opera company. for their representations
have always been carried out TO the letter:
they have always avoided ella ms that they
could not justify, and theater-goers have
come TO know that an organization bear
ing the name of Grau has upon it the gem
ulne stamp OF merit. The papers every
where have been profuse in their praises
not only OF the personnel and ensemble OF
the company. but OF the repertoire and the
magnificent manner in winch the various
productions are costumed. The engage
ment viii he remarkable in the respect
that scale OF popular prices will prevail
during the engagement. The coming OF
the Grau company will mark the first en-
Eagement Of an operate organization this
