OREGON REPUBLICANS.
Split in the Second Congressional
District Convention.

ASTORIA (Or), April 13.-When the
Second Congressional District Repub-
lican Convention met to-day the fac
tional fight in the Multnomah County
delegation caused a split, and the re-
suit was that two conventions were
organized
When the Chairman of the District
Committee called the convention to or
der the adherents of the Simon faction
and the Mitchell faction each put up
candidate for temporary Chairman, and
both were declared elected. Both sides
carried or business in the same hall
for two hours. but finally the Simon
men adjourned to another place The
Mitchell men then adjourned until Fri
day. the Simon faction continuing in
session.
The State Convention will meet to-
morrow, and the fight between the fac
tons from Multnomah County will be
precipitated as soon as the convention
assemblies.
Later-The convention was gotten
together again at o'clock the prop
osition to admit half of each dele
cation from Multnomah County being
defeated, and the Simon delegation be-
ing seated by a vote of Al to So
The convention then nominated NJ.
A Moody of The Dalles for Congress-
man by reclamation.
The contest in the convention was
brought about by the fractional fight
which has been in progress in MultonO-
nah County for more than two years
One faction is headed by State Senator
Joseph Simon of Portland, and the 9TH
or by supporters of eX-United States
Senator ]. H. Mitchell. Two sets of
delegates were elected from MultonO-
NAH County to both the district and
State conventions. The seating of the
Simon delegates tonight in the district
convention. it is thought, will give
them a decided advantage in the con-
test before the State convention to-
morrow.
T. c. Geer. a farmer of Marion Coun-
ty. will probably be nominated for

STOCKTON, April 13.-The Grand
Jury to-day found an indictment
against a laborer named Jack Breen

ers' Union in this city on the 4th of
last January, when property to the val

Breen is in Jail on charges of burg
larry. A short time ago he was ar

which he sold in MERGED. The prop
