there rushed to the platform a short,
heavy-set man, who climbed upon a chain.
and stretched out his hands in an appeal
for attention.
He was Frank Robert Jr., deputy sher-
iff, and delegate from the Eighth ward.
His features were set In firm lines, his
eyes ablaze.
Every member of the convention stood
in amazement, half suspecting what was
to come, yet fearful of the consequences.

surged closer to the platform. Meantime
Pat ScannelI had jumped to the platform
to advise Bell and urge him to go through
with his outrageous plans
The demonstration awed the police, who
halted irresolutey, thoroughly frightened
by the threats of the crowd Their chiefs 5
command to implicitly obey Bell, even to
violently ejecting legally elected dele
gates, were forgotten.
Sergeant Mckinley, with the patrolmsn
fell back in the crowd, while Lieut.. Sho-
gren, who was supposed to be in charge
of the firing squad, tried to explain to
Bell that to lay finger on either Chair
man Michael or Secretary Hickey would
precipitate a riot.
Bell was obdurate, however, and angrlly
ordered the lieutenant and his policemen
to forcibly remove Chairman Michael
and Secretary Hickey.
Lieut.. Shogren, pale as death, started
up the platform steps, but when he tried
to order the legally elected officers of ,he

would assist them.
