"A Man Who Is Supposed to Be Murderer
Durham of San Francisco.
FARGO, N. D., July IA man giving
his name as Frank Dalton, arrested in
this city about two weeks ago, is thought
to be James Durham, the escaped muir
derer of San Francisco He is at pres
ent confined in the county Jail, serving
a 80 day sentence for stealing bicycle.
He came to Fargo two weeks ago and
registered at the Elliott hotel as Frank
Dalton of Boston. He fell in with sew
eral of the young men Of this city, and
all thought him to be model young
man. One evening about dusk he went
to a livery stable where bicycles were
kept for rent. The proprietor of the
stable thought that the young man was
honest and let him have a wheel. Dali
ton skipped the town with the wheel,
but was arrested at Staples, MINI, the
next day and was brought back to Fargo
by Chief of Police Best. When brought
back to the city he denied that he was
trying to steal the wheel.
He was charged with petit larceny to
which charge he pleaded guilty. The
court fined him 500 and sentenced him
to 80 days in the county Jail. In the
meantime Detective Bells of this city
has been working on the case and it
was he who first connected the man
with Durham, the San Francisco muir
derer. He at once wired the authori-
ties at San Francisco murderer. He at
once wired the authorities at San Fran
cisco for description of the man, and
he was1 instructed to hold Durham.
The authorities at San Francisco sent

CHICAGO. July 6.-The Democratic

politics. With the convention hut few

of the delegates on the ground it is SO.
hedged about by conditions that 4ittle=
can be foreseen as to candidates
81 The feature Of the day has been the.
seemingly utter collapse of the Teller.
boom. The talk of the existence Of the
senatorial cabal plotting to secure Tel.
ler's nomination has aroused among
many Of the incoming delegates a feel
ing of the most bitter and passionate
resentment, and the cry is heard every
where that the nominee must be a
Democrat. It is Considered almost
treason to suggest Teller. This strong
revolt against what is deemed an at
tempt at senatorial dictation seems to
have checkmated the cabal..
Bland and Boies Gaining.
. The revolt against the cabal has nm
questionably had the effect:of Fastening
declarations by arriving delegates in
favor Of the two leading candidates,
Bland and Boies, and both claim large
acquisitions. It is a question whether
Bland or Boies has been the larger
gamer by the day developments. The.
Iowa candidates managers have re-
ceived many assurances of support from
the South and West. and, although
Bland is still hailed and heralded as the
logical candidate and is undoubtedly
gaining ground, he has some weak
points in the present arrangement of his
lines. The Matthews boom seems to
have been shattered by the row in the
Indiana delegation between the
Gold and Silver Delegates
over the question of retiring National
Committeeman Sheerin. The Black
burn boom does not seem to be pro-
crossing, but John r. Mclean of Ohio,
the proprietor of the Cincinnati En-
quirer, is developing into a power in
the convention. He is surrounded by
trained politicians whose touch is felt
everywhere. Although they are quietly
urging him for first place on the ticket
it is well understood that his aim is to
secure the nomination for vice presi-
dent. Considerable discord is develop
ing among the silver men over the
rivalries naturally created by their can
didates, and there is also dissension
over the platform. Many of the lead
sers are strongly in favor Of single
declaration for free silver and. the prac-
tical ignoring of all other questions.

EcnClOn. l.. -.
impression prevailed that the committee
wonld name Senator Hill as temporary
chairman, but there was wide range of
speculation and doubt, owing to the de-.
terlnined attitude of the silver men not
to accept temporary chairman opposed
to their views. The doubt was in
creased by the fact that Senator Hill
had at last broken silence, and in state
ments which were widely read during
the morning, had taken
Decided Stand Against the Silver Men.
The statement attributed to him, over
his signature, that the New York dele
cation would walk out Of the conven-
ton if the Michigan delegation was un-
seated, was taken as particularly omin-
GUS of trouble ahead, The silver lead
erss were to meet at 2 o'clock to deter
mine whether the temporary chairman
named by the committee is acceptable.
Whether he is or not, the committee
will doubtless make their recommended
ton to the convention, and the fight Of
the silver men will be precipitated.
The only contests expected are those of
Michigan, South Dakota, Nebraska and
Nevada. It is understood, however,
that the contestants will await the APP
pointment of the committee on creden-
tials before urging their contests.

The car was going north and had just
crossed l. street, when the lady. who was
evidently giving her whole attention to

from the curbing and tried to cross the
track in front OF the northbouDd car.
Seeing her coming, the motornIan acted
promptly. but the distance was too short
to stop the car.
The speed, however, was greatly les
seucd so that when the fender struck the
lady. who was about in tire center or the
track, she settled down easily into the
rope basket and there remained until as
sisted out.
When struck by the fender she had two
small bundles in her hands. In her fall
