MYSTERY OF 4
 PISTOL SHOT
Mrs. Shuld, Known as Pearl Hathaway, Found Bathed
 in Blood.
Police Think it May Have Been an Attempted Murder, but the
 Woman Blanaes Herself

Mrs. William Schuld, known as Pearl Hathaway, an employe of the Midway, on Market street, was wounded by bull let on Saturday night Though 1t is gen. orally believed she attempted suicide, her husband is now being held on suspicion of having shot her in fit of jealousy.
 As soon as the news of the affair came to the knowledge of the police Detective Crockett was detailed on the case. He called at their apartments in rooming house at F Mason street and unceremoni- ously ordered Schuld to leave his bed and accompany him to police headquarters.
 Mrs. Schuld is in no particular danger, as the bullet entered her hip, causing a slight flesh wound. Dr. A. P. O'Brien has to leave her bed and move around her apartments. In speaking of the affair last evening, Mrs. Schuld said
 T am much worried because they took Billy out of bed for something he never did. He is as innocent of the attempt as any one. I am the one to blame. I was just as I have tried and failed before. had few drinks and they must have turned my head. The revolver was lying on shelf, and 1 idly picked 1t un with l did. l had my thumb on the trigger and snapped the weapon two or three times, and all of a sudden the pistol went off. The ball just grazed my hip, and fell to the floor grooming. Billy was ly- ing on the bed in sort of stupor, hay ing had some gin for the first time in eight months. He lay there a few min- utes, but hearing me groan he arose and said, Petite, you're not hurt, are you?' and lifted me on the bed. He opened my skirt and found blood stains and becom- ing frightened he sent for a doctor. I swear he did not do it, and I am sorry l caused him this trouble.
 This is about my sixth attempt to com- init suicide, and I swear I will never do it again. tried to kill myself in Sacra- mento when I first bought the re- volver, but did not succeed. Then again, on Howard street, took laudanum, but my mother relieved me of the poison. I have in my cups tried to cut my heart out

Milwaukee. Sept. 1.-The above ticket
was nominated after one of the stormiest
and longest drawn out Democratic state
conventions ever held in Wisconsin.
The fight was confined to the question
of fusion with the Populists on the state
ticket, which started in earnest with the
opening OF the first of to-day's sessions.
1t was a battle between the large dole
cation from Milwaukee county against
the rest of the state. The battle was
waged ferccly throughout the first ses-
sion, which lasted three hours, only to be
taken up again in the afternoon session.
The outside delegates finally came out
victorious, when a vote ON the resolution
to allow the POpuliSts to name candl-.
date for secretary of state, subject to the
approval of the convention, was lost, the
vote standing 296 for fusion and SCI
against.
Notwithstanding that fusion was voted
down, a PoDulist, John f, SCHNEIDER, OF
Milwaukee succeeded in being nominated
on the ticket for insurance commissioner.
However, it was as a Democrat that ne
received the nomination and not as
Populist After the convention got rid
of the fusion idea the proceedings were
without wrangling.
The convention was an hour late IN
getting down to business to-day. Judge
II. w. Sawyer, the nominee for governor,
addressed the convention thanking the
delegates for the nomination, and saying
he approved the platform and would work
hard for the success of the ticket.
George w. Peck was then reelected by
reclamation as chairman of the state
central committee, and the selection of
members of the committee chosen by the
congressional districts was ratified by the
convention.
Next came the nomination of lieuten-
ant governor P. V. Deuster Of Milwaukee,,
John T. Kingston of Ashland and Stephen
Richmond of Arcadia were presented, Mr..
Deuster being chosen on The first ballot.
The conference committee on fusion re-
ported that the Peoples party would in
dorse the platform of the Democratic con-
yention and the ticket on condition that
the positions of secretary of state and
superintendent of public instruction on
the Democratic ticket be filled by the
names of the Peoples party nominees.
A resolution to adopt this proposition
was offered and a Tntion to- lay THIS

IL THE PAND WAGON.
Anti-ScOGcId Republicans Scramble
Into the NeNiclc

Black River Falls. Wis. Special Aug
Sit Is not a little amusing here to see
how quietly and suddenly many OF the
men who were outspolenly fer La Fol
lette before the nominating convention
met, are getting back into he Seofleld
camp, and some manifest a great deal of
surprise if it is iutimated that they were
out of it any CT the time This is espe-
cially true OF those who want some
thing and are on tentcr hooks for fear
they will not be on the right siGe after
all.
The La Toilette men in this county will
not be very earnest workers for the head
of the ticket, that is evident, but ii they
are not they will not oppose it unless
there is a new move of some kind started,
ard the most they will do will be 10 stay
at home and not vote at AL as many
of them say they will do. They are badly
disgruntled, but not badly enoIgn to be-
l. come Democrats and the man nominated
by the Democrats will have much to do
as to the stay-at-hOme vote of the county.
| If they nominate good clean man the La
Toilette men will doubtless carry out
their stay-at-home plan, but otherwise
they will pocket their pride and disap-
pointment and go and vote for Gov. SEQ
fed.
The Democrats are not saying much but
are hoping for the bad feeling among the
Republicans to get worse The delegation
that left here to-day for the state conven-
ton was all at sea in regard a candi-
date for governor. There is a good leel-
ing here for ox-Goy. Peck, but they are
afraid that the old roster scandal woIid
be used against him with bad results.
Aside from this, it is thought that 10
other Democrat in the state could p3ii
as large vote ds Mr.. Peck. j 1dg;. Saw
yer of Hartford seemed to be the
! favorte, especially as he is an ardent
silver man which is the case with this
county delegation. The gold Democrats
did not attend the county convention at
all and if silver man is nominated
with any shade of silver in the platform
he will get no gold Democrat votes.
1t seems hard just now to forecast the
outcome of the election this fall so
| many things depend upon so many other
things, but it is safe to say that prac-
tically all the old soldiers, and certainly
all the young ones who can get a chance
to vote will cast their votes for Gov
Scofield and it will be very surprising if
he is not his own successor.

PODuIiStS Also Meet.

Milwaukee, Sept. 2. The Populist
state convention met at Robert Chivas
post hall. Robert Schilling, chairman
of the state central committee, called
the convention to order There were
only about seventy-five delegates pres
ent. A. A. Worsley of Racine presided
as temporary chairman, making
speech in which he reviewed tie his
tory of Populism. He then took up the
question of fusion, which, he thought,
had been unfortunately attempted at
former meetings. He did not yet like
the idea Of fusion, but would not kick
If such move were decided on by the
convention. He desired, however, to
see the question carefully considered
before any such step was taken.
After the selection of committees
recess was taken.

amendment was then made to strike out

leaving only the secretary of state to be
named by the Populists and further to

TEsLIN TRAIL ALL RIGHT.

published in many United States news
papers recently that some 5000 Ameri-

tween Telegraph Camp and Teslin
lake The United States government
asked the Canadian government to in
yestigate the matter. This has been
done, and the report has reached here
that there are only 1900 people alto
gether on the trail, and that they are
well supplied with provisions. There
is, therefore, no foundation for the re-
port, and the Washington government
