Thres Unknown Men Cause Q Reign Of
Terror
CHICAGO, July 11,-Three men in a
buggy drawn by a gary horse created a
reign of terror on the North Side of the
city tonight.
They drove through the streets empty
ing their revolovers in the air and now
and then made things lively by firing at
people whom they passed. During their
ride they shot three men, one fatally
The victims are:
Sergeant William Sauer of the Eao
Chicago avenue police station, shot
twice in the breast ans once in the neck;
will die
Andrew Martin. shot in right leg; not
serious.
John Keefe. shot in left instep; not
serious.
After Martin and Keefe had been shot
the police started after the marauders,
but could not find them until after mid
night, when Sergeant Sauer saw three
men in a buggy drawn by gray horse
enter an alley. He followed them and
as soon as he appeared at the entrance
OF the alley the men fired al him. Not a
word was uttered by the men or the
officer. All of the bullets struck Sauer
and he cannot possibly live.
The men made their escape and there
is no clue to their identity.

THE DEMOCRATIC LEADER
Is Tired Enough to Welcome Little
Rest
Messages From Friends Bring Congratulations
and Promises of Support-PIans for the
Campaign Under Consideration

CHICAGO, July 1.-THE Clifton
house, where Mr.. Bryan stops, was,
compared with last night, very quiet
today. The absence of the politicians
at the convention hall and the departure
of many of them from the city had much
to do with affording this immunity from
disturbance, which was a relief to every
one about the house, if not to its dis
tinguished guest. The latter was, how
ever, given little respite from morning
until late at night, for there was con-
stant stream of visitors who would not
accept no for an answer to their de-
mands for an interview Many of those
who called were personal friends, and
majority of them retired after merely
extending their Fluctuations upon the
nomination. Notwithstanding he Gid
not retire until o'clock and was the
center of a whirling throng from the
time the nomination was announced un-
til he turned the key in his bed room
door finally for the night, Mr.. Bryan
was out at o'clock this morning. He
spent the day with Mrs. Bryan in their
rooms, devoting almost the entire time
to receiving callers. among whom were
many party leaders who called to pay
their respects and tender their allie
glance. Mrs. Bryan remained con-
stantly with her husband. They break

receiving visitors while their meals We're
in progress.
Strong as he naturally is physically,
Mr.. Bryan plainly showed the effect to-
day of the strain which the events of
the past week have imposed upon him.
He confessed to feeling fatigued and
his countenance confirmed the state
ment. He was, however. vivacious
enough in conversation, and he discussed
all questions brought up with his wonted
vigor when once he became interested.
Mr. Bryan declined to add anything
to what he had given out yesterday for
publication, beyond asking that state
ment be made that he was not respon-
sible for an article published in New
York yesterday, saying: Il neither
wrote, signed nor saw the article be-
fore it was printed"
kilograms of congratulation continued
to arrive during the day. Among the

"(Signed) ]. w. PATRICK"
Mr.. Bryan has changed the date of his
departure for Salem, ILL.,, until Monday
He will remain in Chicago over tomor-
row, in order to discuss various ques-
tions with the party leaders.
Mrs. Bryan held a reception at the
Clifton house in the afternoon which
was attended by many of the ladies of
Chicago and the wives of delegates who
were in the city. Later she went for a
short drive about the city.

OLD GLORY WAVES
San Miguel Island Is Formally Reduced to
Possession

SANTA BARBARA, July 1.-THE
United States flag was raised for the
first time over San Miguel island this
morning by United States Marshal Gov
arrubias, who went there pursuant to
Instructions from President Cleveland.
The present occupant of the island
Capt. w. G. Waters, had hitherto pre-
vented all efforts to survey it as part OF
United States territory, claiming that
the island, although of the SARA Bar
bara group does not belong to the
United States, as it was not included in
the treaty made with Mexico. The
United States marshal was given writ
ten Instructions form the president to
proceed at once to the island with sufi-
cient force to protect the surveyors.
Capt. Waters yielded to this authority
and agreed to offer no further resist
ance. A salute of forty-five guns was
fired this morning, one for each state
and one for the new territory.

EDITORIAL COMMENT
The Nominees Heartily Praised or Bitterly De-
nourced

KANSAS CITY, Mo, July II. - The
Times, Democratic, says:
The Democratic convention met to
select the strongest candidate the party
could present There is no questioning
the judgment of the convention. To the
credit of Mr.. Bryan let it be said that
he had no managers grooming him for
the nomination"
A Kansas City dispatch says that John
Breidenthal, chairman of the Popuist
state central committee is enthusias-
tic over the nomination of Mr.. Bryan.
He says:
1T suits me exactly. I believe the Pop
ulist national convention will endorse
the nomination of Bryan. At least, the
Kansas delegation will vote that way
beyond doubt"
Senator PETER threw cold water on
the proposition to endorse Bryan.
Il do not believe the Populist ma
tional convention will or should endorse
the nomination of Bryan" said he. 'I
believe a candidate should be regularly
nominated by the Populists at ST. Louis
and the fusion effected in the several
states. That is to say, where Bryan is
the strongest Populists should turn IN
and help secure his election, and where
the Populists are the strongest the
Democrats should vote for the Populist
electors"
Ex-Governor Lewelling said that there
was no doubt in his mind that the Pop
ulist convention would nominate Bryan
Personally he is much in favor of the
Democratic nominee.

During the afternoon he received hun
dreds of kilograms from all parts of the
country expressing the congratulations
of friends. In conversation with rep
resentative of the Associated Press,
Mr.. Sewall said he believed the ticket
would be great deal stronger through
out the east than the western friends of

The presidential nominee is man
very nearly twice as old as the head of
the ticket. He is much older than he
looks. He is a splendid example of ply
sical manhood, carries himself with a
soldierly bearing, and is what is term
ed a fine-lookinS man.
His hair and mustache are slightly
tinged with grey, but the wrinkles of
age have scarcely made their appear

The estate on which he was born and
where he now resides has been in the
possession. of the Sewall family since
1850. His grandfather fought in the
war of the revolution.
Mr.. Sewall has not as yet determined
when he will return home. He expects
to remain in Chicago for several days,
however.
He did not return to the convention
hall after his nomination, but went i'm
mediately to his room at the Palmer
House. He had scarcely reached the
hotel when kilograms began pouring in
from all parts of the country congrat.
ulating him.

A statement like the above
coming from the authoritative

cred by every good citizen Of the

business, but the business of ev-
eryone to help remedy 1t. We
are not disposed to write of this
matter in any political sense, for
we do not hold with many that
everyone should think alike, but
We believe that good buslD ess
methods for the interests OF the
State should impress on all of US
our duty to bring the Stare into

voters, look on the rantiug and
raving of the political organs as
unnecessary and presumptuous,
The interest Of the States
should be paramount; the loyal
ty OF the citizen to the state, his
frsC duty. So, therefore, it the
laws Of the state are antediluviaD,
multifsrlous and oppressive, il
we do not strive to have them
brought into proper shape we
cannot complain.
The cause, we fear, is toe
much politics, the election of IN
