Woodbury. Democrats Turned Down
Resolution of Allegiance to Kansas

City fIaSrorm.
Special to Times Republican.
Sioux City, Aug. 9.-The Woodbury.
county democratic convention refused
to adopt a resolution affirming allegi-
ance to the Kansas City platform. There
was a spectacular scene when o. c..
Tredway presented the resolution and
was ruled out of order on a motion to
adjourn.
It was the belief of majority of the
leaders that it would be bad policy for
the county organization to declare itself
upon any issue that might result in a
split in the ranks of Woodbury. demo-
Gratis. 1t was the sincere belief of these
men that the convention could not pass
a resolution committing itself to either
free silver or the gold standard without
alternating large class of voters. Every
effort was made by these responsible
delegates TO suppress any insurrection-
airy effort to force the county conven-
ton to positive declaration.
The ticket nominated is as follows:
Representatives, George Conway and
George Flynn; treasurer, d. B. De-
laughter; sheriff. NJ. B. Davis; coroner,
DR.. A. j. McLaughlin; surveyor, Fred
Smith: superintendent, ]. F. Burgess; SUI
pervisor, Third district L. r. Myers,
Fourth district John Kane.

Clinton. Aug. 9.-one Of the most pa
thetic scenes that has been enacted
here for some time took place on one:
of the principal streets Of the city to-
day. The participants were Elmer
Lindsay and wife, Of Chicago. who
were battling for the possession of their
7-year-old son. a handsome and bright
little lad. On July "a Mrs. Lindsay
filed petition for a divorce, asking
also for the custody of their only child.
Before papers had been served on the
father he had learned of the divorce
proceedings, and mysteriously disap-
peared with the child. He came direct
ly to this city. taking rooms in house
on the main street. After diligent
search, the mother located her child
IN this city and came here to try to
secure the custody of the boy. She
learned where her husband was staying
and rode by the house several times
on a street car. She finally saw the
boy In front Of the house and stopped
the car, at the same time calling her
little son. With a cry of delight and
outstretched arms the child ran toward
its mother, calling Mamma, mamma"
Quickly the mother caught up her child
and bore it to the car. The conductor
took in the situation and rang the bell
for the car to start. The cry Of Mann
ma" that the child uttered when 1t saw
Its mother attracted the attention Of
Lindsay, who was in the house. He
ran out doors and into the street and
boarded the rear of the car and in an
instant had the child in his arms. He
jumped off the platform, but tripped
and fell. The frantic mother. close be-
hind, fell over her PROSTATE husband
and lively struggle ensued for the
possession of the child, the father final
ly succeeding in carrying the little fell
low into the house, closely followed by
the mother. In the meantime q number
Of people had assembled and watched
the struggle. The mother remained in
the house for number OF minutes.
When she came out she was weeping
violently and stated to the sympathiz-
ing bystanders that she would never
give up until she had secured the GUS
tody of her child.

Pumping Water by Electricity.

A project is on foot which contem-
plates the pumping of water for irriga-
ton purposes for very large acreage
of land east of Phoenix, Arizona.
A company which controls the canals
that supply the eastern end of the Salt
River Valley with water, is reported to
be placing a big electrical plant at the
headwaters of the canals, where there
is fall of twenty feet. Here hey in
tend to develop power to raise water
enough from numerous wells to irri-
gate several thousand additional acres,
as much land again as they can now
supply from their canals.
1t is a well known fact that under
much of the desert lands in Arizona,
where on the surface water is rarely
seen, there is splendid underground
flow. The extremely high price of
fuel, however, has heretofore been a
bar to pumping water to the surface,
and the introduction of electricity pro-
vides the promise of the reclamation
of many miles of desert where canals
cannot reach.
