NEARLY FATAL QUARREL.
William Fry Shoots and clubs 4
Landreth.

Fort Dodge, May 1o.-Z. Landreth, a
prominent Webster county farmer,
while attempting to drive with his
pulverizer along private road in Will
liam Fry's farm, was shot and dubbed
by Fry. The trouble arose over a
roadway dispute. A semi-public road
runs thru the farms of both Landreth
and Fry. Some weeks ago Fry warned
his nsighbors from crossing his farm.
Landreth could not get his heavy pull
verizer along the muddy public road
and sought to cross the forbidden
ground. He was stallled by Fry, who
in his rage emptied both barrels of
his shotgun at Landreth and then at
tackled him with the gun as club.
Landreth is in a critical condition.

Des Moines, May 1o.-(Special. y
Harmony and good feeling" are the
watchwords of the republican state
convention. Among all delegates the
sentiment is that the year 1900 is to be
the banner year for republicanism in
Iowa. All differences are to be har-
monized and no vestige of factional
feeling is to be allowed to make itself
manifest. Despite the predictions of
the democratic press, the Gear-Cum-
minis fight is not to be fought over
aoain in this convention, nor is there
to be any particular effort to secure
supremacy on the part of either of
these two factions, if such they can
be called, in the party. What is recog-
nlzed as the Cummins element will
present to the convention the names of
Colonel George French, of Davenport,
and Editor Lafe Young, of Des Moin-
es, as candidates for delegates at large
to the republican national convention
at Philadelphia. The Gear element, on
the other hand, found itself last even
ing with three candidates for the two
remaining places on the delegation.
These candidates We're Governor
Shaw. c. L. Hancock. of Dubuque, and
DR.. Smith, of Cedar Rapids. In the in
terest of harmony Governor Shaw ex-
pressed willingness to withdraw,
but this was not permitted. 1t was
then agreed that the candidacy Of
Messrs. Hancock and Smith be refer
red to committee of fifteen to de-
termine which should withdraw
The committee was selected by a
joint committee of six men, three OF
whom were named by each of the can
didates. Mr.. Hancock chose as his rep
resentatives United States Marshal Ed
Knott, of Bremen county, Joe Morgan,
of the Dubuque Times, and C. E. ALL
brook, of Eldora. The representatives
of DR.. Smith were Colonel w. G. Dows,,
y. NJ. Hubbard, Jr., and III. g. McMil-
Ian, of Cedar Rapids. The committee
of fifteen named by these. gentlemen
was composed of Governor L. NJ Shaw,
j. W.. Blythe, of Burlington, Senator
G. NJ. Craig, of Allison, Committeeman
j. S. Dewell, of Missouri Valley, DIR. j..
w. Louder, of Alton, United States
Marshal George NJ. Christian, of Grin
nell, DR.. Bowen, of Waukon, w. E. De
Wolf, of Pocahontas county, Ed Heiz-
er, of Sioux City, Mr.. Lawler, of I'm
ion county, Paul Mclean, of Union
county, Captain Lyon, of Clay county,
A. ii. Gale, of Mason City, c. A. Ger
penter, of Columbus Junction, Railroad
Commissioner Dave Palmer, of Wash
ington, and Chairman II. o. Weaver, of
Wapello.
After a secret session lasting three
hours the committee decided upon
DR.. Smith, and he will be the fourth
delegate to the national convention
from Iowa. The. claims of both men
were strongly presented by their
friends, but the decision of the COM
mittee for DIR. Smith was unanimous,
and the best of good feeling prevailed
over the result.
