For several miles before the train pulled
into the station here there was ferocious
fight between the tramps and Stone, and
after relieving him of what valuables he
had besides $40. they threw him off. think
ing they would be rid of him. Stone fell
on his head and shoulders, but jumped up
and climbed on the rear of the same train.
He informed the trainmen, but the robbers
jumped off on reaching this town and were
soon hidden away. There was an exciting
time during the search, and when the
tramps again fled they were fired on. One
received two bullet wounds. Stone was bru-
tally treated on the train, being compelled
to remove all his clothing. AT the prelim-
mary hearing of the robbers one turned

speech making. Among the speakers was
w. c. Lovejoy. and when he finished a cry
went up for Lincoln. The convention was
held in a church. and LINCOLN sat in the

calls the fact that this is one of the most

the many interesting happenings in the
early DAYS of the county. specially In the
ancient town of Salisbury. where he was
born and where he lived as boy, but
which many years since has wnolly disap-
peared.
JACOB Julian, Barnabas c. Hobbs and

DES MONIES, Ia, Aug. 13.-Everybody is
at sea regarding the ticket and platform of
the Democratic State convention, which
meets here Wednesday. Only the head of
the ticket has been talked Of as yet and for
1t three names are mentioned as candidates.
Rev. II. II. Bashor. of Waterloo is at pres
ent the favorite, as he is known to be right
on the 16-to-1 side of the silver question.
Cato Sells. of Vinton. who will be temper
ary chairman, is also being pushed by his
friends for Governor. but he does not want
IL and the tone of his speech will have much
TO do with his success as a candidate. AS
yet no one knows just exactly what his views
will be. Judge NJ. j. Wade, of Iowa City,
has also been brought out in the last few
days as gubernatiorial candidate. but ap-
parently has little show Of success as his
position on the main issue is doubtful. For
the rest of the ticket absolutely no names
nave been mentioned. 1t is believed the
Chicago platform and Bryan will be in
dorsed, but not unanimously, as there will
be several contesting delegations from var
ious counties and both sides will make a
night for the ascendency The platform will
be anti-imperial and antitrust. There are
no State issues on which to make a sue
cessful campaign. ,sffs
W.. j. Bryan will speak here Tuesday
evening. when all the delegates to the con-
vention are expected to be in the city.

ham Lincoln spoke and a landmark in

Mounted on raft and anchored in the lake

prohibition laws, the old church will be
used as bum boat" from which beer.
whisky and all the ordinary brands of hard
drinks will be dispensed.
The old structure has been unused for a
year and a month ago the Northwestern

the building a nuisance and ordered its re-

ordinances Of Evanston do not apply 10 ship

purchaser decided TO secure a government
license and turn the church into floating
saloon and dance hail. The Methodists are
trying to regain possession of the building,
