that theirs was not a slate ticket, but
it VIII be observed that The Herald
published ON Friday morning the ticket
as it was finally nominated. 1t is well
known that this ticket was decided on
in the early hours yesterday morning,
after delegation upon delegation of Re

Someone wanted Mr.. Allison, hut that
gentleman had retired, and the chair
appointed Mr.. Kelly and Mr.. Rogers
TO go after him.
Meanwhile, Mr. Rogers moved to
suspend the order of business adopted,
SO as to allow the candidates to elect
the city committee, and this carried.
When the matter of selecting the en-
blem came UP. Mr.. Rogers moved that
the emblem be the beehive. The gold
men having largely dominated the con-
vention could afford TO be generous in
the matter of emblem and allowed the
bees to sting the eagle into retirement.
DR.. Condor moved that the speech

adopted by the convention be circulat-

Still Mr.. Allison did not appear, but
". r. White created a little diversion
by refusing to act on a committee to
see about recording the nominations
and the emblem. Mr.. White,it is pre-
surned, was aYerse TO going back on
the eagle for emblem. and possibly
thought it might hurt his candidacy
for various federal appointments. He
positively refused to act and sarcas tie

In this connection it may be stated
that Chief Davenport received a teIe-

SHOT BY THE SHERIFF..
Suspected Hcld-up Plunked While

Franz Snyder was shot yesterday
morning by Sheriff Belnap and received
a painful though probably not seri-
Gus wound. Snyder was suspected of
being one of the Little Queen holdups,
and when shot was running away. Two
associates with him we're taken in GUS
tody and brought TO Ogden. They gave
the names of H. T. Butler Frank era
mer and Joseph Jones, but Jones said
his name was Snyder, after he went to
the hospital.
The affair happened at the Hot
Springs. in Box Elder county, and the
officers give the following account of
it: Word was telephoned from the
springs 10 the sheriff's Office that a
rambler of suspicious characters were
there. who might be the parties who
held up the Little Queen saloon pro-
prietoTs on Friday night. The Sheriff
and Deputy Chambers went out and
took with them Mr.. Larson. one of the
men who was held up. They at frst
rounded up a number OF tramps, but
Larson said they were not the men.
They saw man moving down by the
