BRYAN NEAR MAJORITY
NEARLY HALF THE MEMBERS OF
CONVENTION INSTRUCTED.

Denver, June s.-After two days ses-
sion in convention and an aII-night sit
ting of the credentials committee in a
vain effort to reach a satisfactory ar
rangement between contesting delega-
tons from this (Arapahoe) county, the
Democratic state convention, late this
afternoon, bya vote of COZ to 80, decided
the contest by throwing out both dele
cations. Within an hour after this ac-
ton was taken the convention had fin
lshed its labors and adjourned.
me delegations from Arapanoe cOun-
Y were headed, respectively, by Gov
ernor g 5 Thomas and Thomas J. Ma
loney, chairman of the county central
committee, and these two were both
made delegates at large to the Kansas
City convention.
1t was provided that a committee of
nVe shall be selected TO draft rules for
the government of precinct primaries.
TO prevent contests in the future, if pos
sibIe.
The following delegates and alter
mates at large were selected;

They were instructed to use every eff
Tort to secure the nomination of Will

the reaftirmation of the Chicago plat

BRYAN NOW HAS 43e.
Lacks Only Thirty Instructed Dele
gates Of Majority.

Chicago. June S.-The Chronicle says:
Senator James X. Jones, chairman of
the Democratic national committee, is
expected to reach Chicago early next
week. William J. Bryan, it is said, will
meet him shortly after his arrival, and
plans will be discussed for the active
work of the Kansas City convention.
Keen interest is taken by officials at
national headquarters IN the reports of
Democratic state conventions. Up to
date twenty-fouF states have held con-
ventions. OF these, twenty-five, repre-
senting 436 delegates have instructed
for Bryan. Maryland and New Jersey
are Uupledged, the former having six
teen and the latter twenty delegates
Bryan now lacks only thirty instructed
votes Of having a majority of the con-
vention delegates.
The convention win be composed of
$50 delegates and as many alternates.
Under the twO-thirds rule, however, q
rule which has been enforced in Dem
ocratic national conventions for nearly
forty years, the nominee for president
or vice president must receive two
thirds of the entire vote given. Bryan
therefore lacks 1874 votes of a nomina-
ton, on the basis of instructed dele
gates

THERE Is A CONFLICT.
Attorney Walton Refuses to Dismiss
Mrs. KesIer's Case.

There is likely to be an exciting time
over the dismissal OF the case OF Pearl
Kesler against Chief of Police Hilton.
Detective Sheets, DR., King and Officer
Davis.
Mrs. Maud Kesler, the mother. is anx-
ious 10 have it dismissed, but her attorney
will not have it so. There is no way for
the case to be taken off the court records
unless he consents or she employs an
other. attorney.
Attorney Walton emphasized the fact
that he would not dismiss the case yes
teTday at the Office of the clerk of the
distriev court. He wrote this on the 'or-
der book:
CLERK viii please ignore the order en-
tered on the preceding page. this cause.
Said order has been made without my
knowledge or consent, and / withdraw
said order" This was signed II. A. Wal
ton, Attorney for the Plaintiff
The order referred to was mat signed
by Mrs. Kesler on Thursday, in which
she asked that the case be dismissed.
Il will not dismiss the case on the or
Ger of Mrs. Kesler." said f. w. Little,
clerk of the district court. 1.-THE plain
tiff's attorney must ask for the dismissal.
The law specifically says that an attorney
has a lien upon his clients cause of ac-
ton or c0unterclaim which attaches to
verdict report, decision or judgment
in his clients favor, and the proceeds
thereof. in whosoever hands they may
come.
1T would not be treating attorneys fair
~ TO permit clients to come here and
have cases dismissed
Thus the only way iii which Mrs. kes-
Ter can get a dismissal of her suit
against the defendants is TO have an
other attorney go into court and ask for
an order discharging Mr.. Walton.

ARTHUR PRYOR WINS LAURElS
SALT LAKE TROMBONE PLAYER
MAKES Hut IN BRUSSELS.
He is With Sousa's Band and is APP
plauded by the Press and the
Public.

Time and time again the musical tai
ent of Salt Lake City has found reeog-
milton in the great world outside, and
time and time again It has been demon
strated that this city is on one of the
worlds great highways. There will be
little surprise, therefore, but much
qualification in the statements in the
following letter regarding another
gifted Utah boy. The letter is from
the pen of Mrs. PEPPER, formerly Miss
Mcdonald of this city, who is still trav-
cling with her young husband III
Europe. The letter is written from
Brussels. where a stop was made.
What do you think2" Mrs PEPPER
writes; "SOusa's band is in Brussels,
and we have not heard The Star
Spang1ed Banner and The Stars and
Stripes Forever Oh, no! We went only
last night and this afternoon. and We
are going again tonight. 1t is simply
magnificent-in my opinion the best
thing we have run across in Europe.
And / wish YOU could have been
with US and have seen the enthusiasm
of the Brussels public. The first con
cert was last night, and there was not
a very large audience. Right here
must tell you that ] gave the first clap
when John Philip appeared. Well, they
played just one piece, and then the aud
fence woke up. From that time on en-
core after encore greeted them, and for
two hours that band played with but
one little intermiSsiOn of not more than
ten minutes. The applause was wild
and wilder. / wish you could have
heard how Georgia Camp meeting
was received. o, it was great!
Arthur Pryor, the Salt Lake from
bone player, must have felt satisfied
with his reception. He could hardly
get off the stage. For an encore he
played Because l Love You the sweet
est thing you can imagine, played on a
trombone. Pryor played an Air and
Variations by himself first, and he was
recalled several times. One of the lead
ing papers here, in commenting on the
concert, says that not one of the indi-
Viduals composing the band has any
thing to learn about music, and among
other things about PryOrs solo, il says:
One having heard that beautiful in
strument, the trombone thus played,
can never forget it, II said, too, that
q Maxim gun couldn't send forth the
sounds that that trombone did, re-
ferring to some of Pryor's low notes. O,
but we did enjoy it..
The Mr.. Pryor spoken of in the
above letter as creating such a furore
by his musical talent in the PARKWAY
city o. Brussels will be we'll remem-
heTed by thousands of friends in Salt
Lake, It will be recalled how SOusa, on
one of his many visits to this city,
heard Pryor play the trOmbine, and at
once annexed him to his hand. The
great band leaders, unerring judgment
is demonstrated by the victories Pryor
is winning wherever he goes.

he maintained was not where it ought
to be, and in purchasing it he would
not get the ground described in the
deed. There was the rub. Mr.. Servis
decided not to take the property and
demanded the return of the check.
Meanwhile Mr.. Williams said he
would investigate, He was not so sure
of the discrepancy, he said. and he
held the check for the time being be-
cause he had no copy of the contract
and he wanted something to show that
the agreement had existed.
When he refused TO refund it. the
candy man had payment stopped at
the bank and inserted the notice of
warming.
This action was a surprise to Mr..
Williams. He had not even seen it in
the papers. but being informed of it
last evening he grew exceedingly warm.
Does the man take me for a rob-
ber?" he demanded. 1T is explicitly
stated in the contract that the check
is to be cashed only at one PLACE and
at a certain time, and why Mr.. Servis
should think that I would try to cash
it at the cast Of honor is more than I
can understand. 1t is entirely uncalled
for under The circumstances. He did
not speak of it in my presence and [
talked to him today, too. I had no in

two hollow SQUARES.
During the short intervals in the
courses the members of the different

The publication of the above in the

Mr.. Williams is the owner of a very
pretty home located at 1873 Center

Wish to Know Fate of Irish Ambu-
lance Corps.

Chicago. June S.-Efforts are being
made by Chicagoans interested in the
welfare of the ambulance corps that
left Chicago to serve in South Africa to
locate the corps. Colonel John T. Fin
eTty, one of the men who helped form
the corps, last night dispatched a cable
gram to Pretoria asking for informa-
ton in regard to the whereabouts of
the Chicago Irishmen.
There have been all sorts of disquiet-
ing rumors in regard to the corps. One
is that several members of the corps
have been killed or wounded.
Colonel Finerty says arrangements
were made before the members of the
corps started for South Africa that in
case any of the members were injured
or killed their friends would be imme-
diately notified. No news has been re-
ceived from the corps for some time.

POWDER TRUST EXPLODED
Attempt to Run a Combine In the
Early Days Of Colorado.
lOtIIeI htpuuIILdl

| The big consolidation of the sleeping
/ car companies in the Pullman company
may not strictly be called corner, but
! whether it is or not, mention Of il was
enough to call to the mind Of an oid-time
| Gilpin county miner, John Meyer, now
making his home at Ft Wayne, Ind, an
occasion on which George NJ Pullman
made an attempt TO form a corner in
the mining camp.
1T was in the winter of 1863 when we
were showed in for weeks, said Mr..
Meyer. THE last freighter that attempt
ed stO reach Black Hawk was stuck on
DOry hill; the stages couldn't get through
and we were as much out or the world as
though there was not another settlement
in Colorado. remember paying s. for 2
dozen eggs and $50 a sack for -four.
But we took all that IN a spirit or
resignation, feeling that il was through a
dispensatiOn of providence over which We
might gTOwl, but could not change. All
the miners were working and taking out
good pay so we didn't mind putting up a
good price for grub. But soon the supply
of blasting powder began to give out,
until all the dealers had sold what they
had except Pullman, He held on 10 his
stock until all the others were out. Then
he began TO make il known that he had a
big stock. but that the price would be S25
d keg The previous price was SO.
The miners must have powder, but We
did not feel that we could pay his price
A committee from meeting that We
held called on Pullman, telling him We
would pay SIS for the powder, but no
Z
pay his price or we would not get the
goods.
Now. that sounded too much like a
/ threat to pass unnoticed. The committee
had no more than reported their inter
view with the dealer when there was q
stir among the men at the meeting. Hard
" a word was spoken, still everyone knew
what was TO be done. Everything was
orderly enough. What 1 mean, there
was no show OF the kind that is usual
! with mobs although we were as much q
mob as any that ever attacked a jail.
I'VE gathered croWbars and picks and
such tools as might prove handy and
started quietly toward Puilman's store
It was situated about at the head of the
road between Central City and Black
Hawk. at what they call Mountain City,
We didn't have any trouble in making an
entrance to the room in which the powder
was stored. Teams were brought out and
the powder loaded and carted away, when
an equitable distribution among the min
/ ers of the powder was made A record
was kent of the amount that each man
received. Then we paid him $3.50 a can,
gust half the amount that he asked.
For a long time Pullman refused TO
accept the price that we offered FOR It.
but finally he thought better of the prOpO-
sition and was glad TO accept our price
Il wish / could remember the names
of the men that formed that mob Many
of them have since become prominent in
state and national affairs and in finances.
