HEAR HENRY'S STORY
Mr.. Andrews Delegates Testify
Before Judges in the Sena-
torial Contest.
WORK OF CREDENTIALS COMMITTEE
Joseph Dunham Objected TO Ad-
mission Of Proxies on Gen.
eral Principles.

The scene of the minority represen
tative contest was changed from the
county court room to the supervisors
room this morning to enable Judge
w. T. Church, of Aledo, to hold court
in the former place.
Four of Mr.. Andrews witnesses
were examined in the forenoon. H.
V. Conover, who was chosen secretary
of the temporary organization and
afterward permanent secretary of the
Henry county division, was placed on
the stand and examined at length.
He identified the minutes of the con-
vention he had prepared and they
were included in the evidence. They
stated the time of adjournment be-
fore dinner to have been till after
| noon. Joseph Dunham came next and
was very shire Wd tnd evasive on cross
examination. He was questioned par
ticularly about the work of the Gre
dentials committee, and said he OBJ
iected to the admission of proxies to
the convention on general principles.
Peter Schleuter, who was one of the
credentials committee, testified that
he had suggested the dropping of the
proxies in order to facilitate business.
He said ne was present when Mr.. An
drews was nominated, but did not say
he voted on the nomination.
John Dwyer, the Henry county
delegate who made the motion to ad-
iourn, testified that his motion speci-
fled the time for convening as latter
dinner, or when the committee is
ready to report He was positive
he had heard William McEniry say he
appointed DIR. Meyer chairman of
the convention" He clung to these
statements with the greatest fidelity.
Frank McHugh was the first wit
ness this afternoon. Next came j. E.
Smith and then j. h. Andrews. The
latter said Mayhem was willing that
Ryan should act as temporary chair
man, but his testimony was weak on
some of the points in dispute.
Joseph Durham was recalled to tes-
tify in regard to the Henry county
convention and he was followed by
h A. Reherd. The examination of
the latter was short and then An
drews' counsel asked for time in which
to bring Leo Deisenroth into court,
whom they said would probably be
their last witness.

A. B. Anderson Says Ryan's Appointment
Was Agreeable to Committeeman.

A. Il. Anderson Says Ryan's appointment
Was Agreeable to Committeeman.
A. B. Anderson, of Galva, who
called the convention at Cam bridge to
order on Oct. 2. was placed on the
stand as the first witness for Andrews
at $3.50 yesterday afternoon. He, in
reply to questions from Judge Wilson,
recounted the entire story of the con-
vention and did not neglect any op-
portunities to poke fun at Rock Island
delegates. On cross-examination by
Mr.. Sweeney he declared that he had
chosen Ryan as temporary chairman
with the consent of A. d. Mayhem. in
contradiction to that gentleman's pre-
vious testimony. Frank Brady, one
of Henry county's delegates, was
placed on the stand and briefly ques-
toned by Judge Wilson. He tesTitied
that Mayhem had said in conference
when the name of Ryan had been sug-
gested that '.he would do all he could
to help the boys" meaning the Henry
county men.
James Ryan, being next called as
witness, was questioned and cross
questioned for an hour, his answers
covering pretty thoroughly all his
acts as temporary officer of the con-
vention.
Nomination Not Seconded.
He said that the name of II. l..
Wheelan, proposed for temporary
secretary, had no second, hence had
not been put. He said he considered
it fair to place two Rock Island men
on the credentials committee as
against three men from Henry
county and that he had made
one of the former chairman, that he
might bring in the report. DR..
Meyer, he declared, was appointed
as chairman by William McEniry in
the afternoon without a vote. He
further stated that the adjournment
in the forenoon had been till latter
noon" instead of till 1 o'clock and
that he had called the meeting to
order at the time the Rock Island dele
gates were trying TO elect their offi-
GERS in the afternoon, to hear the re-
port of the credentials committee.
which was ready to report.
1t was nearly O'Clock when Mr..
Ryan was through and the question
of holding night session was urged
by the Henry county men. As it ap-
peared that Mr.. McEniry's attorneys
could not be present, Judge Adams
decided against it and adjourned till
9 o'clock this morning.

HAS MARROW
ESCAPE FROM DEATH.

Brakeman Kingsbury, of. the Rock
Island road, had q narrow escape
from death while coming out of Des
Moines yesterday. In some manner
he slipped and fell between two box
cars, striking and catching on the
bumpers. Although no bones were
broken, he was somewhat bruised and
shaken up and is not able to work.
As the train was running at a fair
rate of speed it is almost a miracle
that he escaped with his life.

to 1856 tons for the week and melt

new crops of Cuba and the West Indies
is much less than is usual at this sea

the week irregularity existed, with con-

given place to firmer holding of list

now shaded. No guarantees are given

demand from now forward for refined
sugars and also to expect an improve
