EX-CROOK IN HARD LUCK.
John Morgan, just Out of the Pen,
Robbed of His Cash,

Jack" Durham, whose right name is
supposed to be John Morgan, was held
up and robbed by two supposed friends
yesterday in the neighborhood of Fort
Smelling. According to his story, and
his we'll battered body bears him out
in his statements, he was subjected to
severe punishment, in which he was
shot in the left leg and then was rob-
bed of $50, all his money
Morgan was sent to the penitentiary
from Minneapolis three years ago on
the charge of grand larceny, having
snatched a woman's pOcketbook. He
was released only last Friday and
came to Minneapolis. He had $106
with him, which he received as wages
in the prison. Saturday morning he
was arrested on the charge of drunken
ness by officer Shelly and paid a fine
of SO. After deducting what he had
spent, Morgan had $55 remaining yes
terday morning and went to ticket
office at Washington and Nicollet av-
enues to buy cheap ticket for Chica-
go. AS he was discussing the matter
of tickets two strangers walked into
the office and inquired what he was do
ing. He told them his mission and
they replied that they We're about to go
to Chicago and that it would be a good
plan for the three to travel together.
They persuaded the eX-convict to wait
another day before leaving the city
They invited him to have a drink and
liquid refreshments were taken on
board at two saloons on Washington
avenue south. Then a trip was made
to a saloon on Cedar avenue. where one
of the strangers bought several bottles
of beer. Then one of the two newly
found friends suggested that 1t would
be the proper thing to go out to Mime
haha Falls before departing from the
city. One of the strangers also had
an uncle there. whom he wished to
visit. This all seemed very plausible
/ to Morgan and he consented. After
alighting from the street car the trio
walked half a mile to a lonely spot
where short work was made of the beer
which was brought along
The conversation soon turned to the
| lonliness of the place and one of the
new friends said it would be a nice
place for a hold-up. Morgan thought
so also, but he said that no one was
able to get his money, for he wouldn't
| give it up. Immediately one of the
strangers pulled out a revolver and
| told Morgan that he had better recon
| slider his statement and hand over his
| money and thus save any trouble. The
victim stubbornly refused, and told the
| fellows to kill him, but he positively re-
/ fused to hand over his cash Con-
| tinued threats to kill him we're Of no
avail, and Morgan started I'D and ran.
He had sprinted but a shot distance

EA-SECRETARY MENTIONED AS 4
COMPROMISE CANDIDATE FOR
THE SENATORSHIP.
FIELD HAS VOTES TO WIN,
IF THE OPPOSITION CAN BE COM.
BINED HUNTER WILL BE
DEFEATED.
GRAND JURY HAS NOT FINISHED.
Newspaper Correspondent Sent to
Jail for "a Short Time to jog
His Memory.

FRANKFORT, KY, April 14.-This
has been an exciting day in the legis-
lature which adjourned at D. m,
with the fight still pending for tomOr-
row. Seven ballots were taken today
for United States senator, making for
ty-two ballots that have been taken
at the present extra session. The vote
in some of the ballots was changed
by temporary pairs, but none of the
changes of the day were material. DR..
Hunter, the Republican nominee, held
81 votes and the field had SO. The neled
had just the required number for cleo
ton, but the Blackburn men, the gold
Democrats and the boiling Republicans
could not unite on anybody. Ex-Sec-
rotary Carlisle arrived at his home in
CovingtOn today, and his presence in
the state caused some comment on his
name as a compromise candidate, but
he secured no votes.
The Franklin county grand jury is
continuing it's investigation of the al
legged bribery in the senatorial contest.
Graham Vreeland. a newspaper CORE
Spondent, was one of the witnesses be-
fore the jury today He at first de-
clined to talk and was ordered to Jail
by Judge Cantrill. but later consented
to talk and was released. The inves-
tigation may be completed tomorrow.
The prospect is that there will be con-
tinuOus ballOting tomorrow, but there
is nothing in the situation tonight to
indicate a breaking up Of the dead
lock.
Before the ballOting began today the
Blackburn Democrats asked that the
absentees be called and answered
present as did the boiling Republi-
cans, showing they had made up their
minds to vote on all roll calls. There
were no material changes on the
thirty-sixth ballot, which gave Hunter
81; Blackburn "A; Martin II; Boyle 6:
Stone 1; necessary to a choice g.
There was no motion to adjourn. and
the thirty-seventh ballot began. Again
there was no change, and the ballot
was copy Of the thirty-seventh.
At the beginning of the thirty-eignth
ballot 1T was observed that the vote Of
Hunter 61; opposition SO, left the latter
exactly strong enough to win All
stuck to their first choice on the third
ballot for the day. During the fourth
ballot the gold Democrats said they
would not propose an adjournment un-
til the Republicans asked for it. and
the Republicans said they would never
ask for it. There was no material
change in the vote Sandwiches and
other refreshments were ordered after
another ballot. Senator Bronston NOV

Republicans voted mo" but the gold
Democrats helped them to defeat the
motion.

DEMOCRATIC SPLIT.
Trouble Cropped Out During the
Short House Session.

WASHINGTON, April lathe house
was in session but ten minutes today
and then adjourned until Saturday
without transacting any business The
session was long enough, however, to
furnish occasion for a display Of the
division among the Democratic mem
bers, which the recent caucus had not
been able to heal. In this division MIR.
Dearmond, of Missouri, appeared as
the leader Of the opposition to the lead
ership Of Mr.. Bailey. AS soon as the
journal had been read, Mr. Dingiey
made a motion that when the house
adjourn it be until Saturday Mr.
Dearmond and Mr.. Simpson immedi-
ately demanded a division. The vote
on the motion was 131 to 49, Mr. Bailey
and his followers voted with the Re-
publicans, while Mr. Dearmond and
other Democrats and Populists OPP
posed the motion. Many Democrats
refrained from taking sides, while those
who rose for the division seemed about
equally divided on the question Mr.
Dearmond, Mr.. Terry, Of Arkansas, and
other Democrats tried to secure a yea
and nay vote, but only 81 members
supported the demand, which was not
a sufficient number. AS soon as the
house had adjourned the Democrats
gathered in groups discussing their
policy with great earnestness.
