GUILTY OF CRUELTY.
Jerry Sullivan Will Be Punished for
Brutal Treatment of a Horse.

Jerry Sullivan was tried before 81 jury in
Justice Nichols court today on a charge OF
cruelty to Misunderstanding and over
driving a horse on the 18th of June-and
found guilty, the jury celebrating only a
few minutes Sullivan testified in his own
behalf and denied the truthfulness of the
charge, but the jury evidently believed
him not. He said ne and his partner,
James Sullivan, had hired a horse and
buggy at Dixon's livery stable to go to
Crystal Springs, but the horse would not
go, and they got no farther than half a
mile beyond the Centennial brewery. Then
they had come back and While his COM
panion held the lines he led the animal.
He admitted that the horse had been
whipped and was perspiring, but consid-
cred the latter condition the result of ill
ness. Sullivan had a witness to a portion
of the story, but the jury took no stock in
what he said when compared with what
the liverymen said. The witness said he
had met the two men near the brewery and
told them he would not give rs cents for
the horse. He also said the horse had a
hoof as big as his hat. He thought the
animal had water collie.
The liverymen told another story. They
said the animal was a valuable one and
WAS in frst-class condition when it left
the stable. When the men brought it back
1t was almost dead from the effects of
the beating and hard driving 1t had re-
ceived. The whip was broken near the
handle, showing that the butt end had
been used on the horse. The animal had
died on the day following.
Justice Nichols will sentence Sullivan at
10 o'clock tomorrow.

A REST,

Kansas City, Mo-, July 6.-The dele
gates to the silver republican convention
We're very late in assembling this morn
ing, Notwithstanding practically all the
important work of the convention was
scheduled for today, it was past 10 o'clock
when Chairman Brown raped for order.
For a few minutes previous to converting
the delegates were entertained by
speeches and prayers delivered from a
monograph, and this resulted in one
rather touching incident. The prayer de-
llVered by DIR. BigeloW of Cincinnati at
he opening of the convention and which
brought cheers from the delegates was
repeated amid dead silence At it's con-
clusion a white headed delegate from
Ohio started singing John Browns
Body" One by one the delegates Joined
in the old war song and the auditorium
ran with the thunder of a thousand
voices.
A committee was appointed to invite
former Assistant Secretary Webster
Davis to address the convention.
The committee on resolutions announced
it was ready to report and D. C. Tillotson
of Kansas City took the platform to read
the party's declaration of principles.
Outburs of applause occurred fire.
quastly throughout the reading and at
it's conclusion an interruption occurred.
The Travelling Mems Bryan club Of Lin
coin, headed by a brass band, marched
into the hall and onto the stage. The
and started 1.-THE Star Spangled Ban
ner,'' and Mr.. Tillotson, turning from his
manuscript, led the delegates in singing
the anthem. When quiet had been re-
stored a delegate offered a substitute for
the Nicaraguan plank, %favoring 1.-The
speedy construction of the Nicaraguan
canal to be built, owned and defended by
the government of the United States"
This was adopted.
Great cheering greeted the reading Of
the silver plank, the initiative and refer
endum and the endorsement of the Mic
araguan canal. The most enthusiastic
demonstration occurred when the speak,
err read the plank extending sympathy to
the Beers, the delegates rising en- masse
and cheering for over a minute.
The platform Is amended was then
adopted with a thunder of 'ayes." A
wragle ensued over the Introduction Of a
resolution by a Nebraska delegate max

objected on the ground that such action
would make the ballots illegal in several
states. The resolution was finally with
