SAN LUIS oBIsPo UNDECIDED.

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Aug. S.-Editor Call: The delegation to the Republi- can convention from this county will probably go unpledged and unbiased expecting to be controlled by consider ation of fitness and eXpediency as de- veloped in the convention. All the can didates named have personal friends here, but there is no fixed sentiment for either of pronounced partisanship. Tribune (Ind.).

ELLERT FOR FIRST CHOICE.

LAKEPORT, Aug S.-Editor Call: The State politics is not bothering our people very much. There appears to be no pronounced choice. A canvass of our leading citizens led to the fol- lowing result: l.. R. Ellert is consid- cred the best man against Mcguire from all accounts of his popularity in San Francisco. l.. H. Brown is sec ond choice. Pardee and Knight both have a small following.

NO OPPOSITION TO DAVIS.

PORTERvILLE, Aug S. = Editor Call: Undoubtedly w. R. Davis is the choice of the majority of the Repub- licans in this county and he is our first choice. Second choice either Henry T. Gage or Charles N. Felton. While we believe Davis is the strongest candi- date, either of the others named will be warmly supported if nominated.

A DARK HORSE MAY WIN.

NAPA, Aug. S.-Editor Call: Senti- ment here is not sufficiently settled for me to judge which of the candidates for Governor is strongest. It is the thought of many that a dark horse, one not now in the running, will cap- ture the nomination. My own opinion is that w. R. Davis is the strongest man at present in the field.

MARTINEZ. Aug. S.-Editor Call: Republicans in this county are at sea as to any special choice for Governor of the prominent candidates enumerated. Many Republicans interviewed and not one seemed to have determined upon a choice or even to possess an opinion as to who would be the best and strongest candidate. The Republicans Of this county wants James M. Stow for the State Board of Equalization and this fact overshadows all other consldera- tions and will dominate ana lnHuence tbe delegation in the State convention. No preference exists for Governor and the only sentiment crystallized is for

a Murder at Hutchinson.

The body of w. g. Boyd, aged about
So years, butcher, was found Friday
morning in ditch near his shop in
Hutchinson. He had been hit 10 the
back Of the head with some blunt in.
strument, and deep cash from some
sharp instrument on the chin. His
coat had been pulled up around his
head, indicating that he had been
killed at some other point and the
body carried to- the ditch. The coat
about the head had caught the blood
from his crushed skull. He was
known to have had some $50 or $50 on
his person the evening before. which
was not found on the body. The
News states that 10 clew to the mur-
derers was found.
Friday evening Constable John Daw-
son and Deputy Sheriff McClimans of
this city arrested stout. heavy built
stranger, on telegram from Rutehin-
son, on suspicion of being one of the
murderers. The man gave his name
as @. w. Meyers, and said he was a
railroad man. Said if he had killed
any people it was with his fist, as he
never struck a man with anything G
else.
Sheriff Long of Reno county and a
deputy came up Friday evening. He
said that Meyers had worked for Boyd
couple of days and had then had
trouble with him and vowed vengeance
on Boyd. He stated further that he
came to Great Bend Thursday evening,
but Sheriff Long says Meyers ate
breakfast at Hutchinson Friday morn
ing.
This morning, when the sheriff and
his prisoner went to take the train
|. for Hutchinson two other men who
were supposed to be pardners of Meyers
were put under arrest and taken along,
One was named Hughes. but the other
refused to give his name. Sheriff Long
thinks he has strong evidence against
Meyers.

Cash for Live Stock Prizs Winnsrs.

OMAHA. NEB., Aay 2S.-The protest
OF the stockmen of. the west against the
offer of medsls as awards in the live
stock department of the Trans Mlssis-
sippi Exposition has resulted in q unan-
imous decision of the board of directors
to substitute cash for medals. Stock
men declare that this change viii re-
suit in making the live stock section Of
the exposition the greatest show of live
stock ever held in the United States.
The matter was considered at q spec.
ial meeting Of the Board of Directors
called to consider the matter yesterday
afternoon. One of the arguments used
in favor OF cash premiums was that
Kansas City was preparing for live
stock show at which s75, 900 in cash
prizes would be offered and the breed.
ers OF stock would not bring their ami
mails to compete for medals. The stock
yards and other stock interests of South
Omaha and live stock associations
throughout the state were fully repre-
sented at the meeting and all expressed
great satisfaction at the decision, say
ing that the action would result In
bringing thousands of people to the ex-
position who would not otherwise have
come.
The resolution, which was adopted
by the directors without a dissenting
vote, was as follows:
Resolved, That this board hereby
directs the executive committee to re-.
consider the subject of live stock prem
iums and instructs the committee to
offer cash prizes amounting to $4,000
in place of medals.
In addition to the $50 600 to be
awarded by the directors under the
terms of this resolution, the Union
Stock Yards Company of South Omaha
will contribute 1000 in cash to be
awarded in prizes by the executive com.
mlttee for cattle, hogs and sheep. The
announcement Of this offer was made
to the directors by General Mandersou.
representing the Stock Yards Company.
