The republican county convention
held in this city last Saturday was a
representative body considering the in
clemency of the weather. 1t was an
enthusiastic gathering, and its action
demonstrated the united condition OF
the party in the county. To secure a
representative delegation-one embody-
ing the sentiments of republicans from
oil parts Of the county-the delegates to
the state convention were selected from
tho various precincts according to the
relative vote Of the precincts. This was
regarded by the convention and by the
committee appointed to select and pre-
sent to the convention the names OF
delegates as just and right. While there
were number ofworthy republicans re-
siding in Custer that were posse sed q
laudable ambition to participate in
the proceedings of the state convention,
yet it was deemed best by the conven-
ton that distribution be made, and
as consequence some who desired to
be upon the delegation were disappoint-
ed. The Custer delegates composed
about one third Of the convention il
every precinct had been represented,
and as some Of the outlying precincts
had no delegates in the convention, the
strength of the Custer delegation made
it possible for them to practically con.
troll it. and had they 80 desired could
hays filed the delegation from Custer
county to the state convention entirely
by Custer men. This they did not do
but distributed as before stated. In this
the CHRONICLE believes the convention
acted wisely. There are republicans in
all parts of this county, and as such are
entitled to representation in the state
convention. In the selection of alter.
mates it was done as far as possible 80
that il the regular delegates could not
attend the state convention his alternate
could 90, to the end that as full dele
CATION as possible would be present from
Custer county.

The victory is notable one for the

the last seen OF him. AS midnight ar
rived and he did not return the police
were notified and two detectives were
detailed to work on the case. It was
not until nearly 9 o'clock Thursday,
however, that the matter began to as
sumo a really serious aspect. At that
hour a man on horseback rode rapidly
by the Cudahy mansion and as he
passed the front gate threw a letter
into the yard, in substance reading:
"Mr. Cudahy: Your son is safe. We
have him and will take good care OF
him and will return him to you in
consideration Of the payment Of $685.

The remainder OF the note the po-
lice refuse at present to disclose as
they say it relates to the place where
the money Is to be left and where the
kidnappers are to leave the boy in
case Mr.. Cudahy complies with their
terms. The servant who saw the man
on horseback was able to give a good
description of him and this is the clue
upon which the police are working Ct

influential young man, appointed post
master at Shawnee by President McKin-
ley. A few months after assuming con-
troll of the office, in 1898, there were sew
eral registered letter packages stolen, but
were afterward returned, being found one
morning inthe letter box at thS door,
having been thrust in during the night.
Whatever shortage there was. was made
good by Boggs. For some reason Boggs
was suspected and arrested. When tried
he was founr guilty and sentenced TO
four years in the federal prisonat Leay
enworth, Kan. His conviction was secur-
ed solely on the evidence of the expert
pennan, Tallman. who has recently con-
victed ROLAND Molineaux in New York
CITY the notorious alleged poisoner. Tall
man was paid $50 day by the govern
ment for his work inthe Boggs' trial. 1t
is also claimed in the case that the jury
that convicted Boggs was compose dof
parties made up in part Of Mexicans,
some of whom could not even read and
write.
After being convicted Boggs aKealed
his case to the Oklahoma supreme court
and the decision of the lower court was
sustained. The decision of the supreme
court, it is said, has not yet been hand
ed GcUn nor any mandate issued, where
fore Boggs is still out on bond, awaiting
the final decision
