TO BE A HOT CONTEST
Wyoming Democrats to Name
State Ticket Today--RepubIi-
cans Will Have No WaIkaway.
(special to The HeraldN

Rawlins, Wyo., Aug. 5.-Delegates to
the Democratic state convention, which
will be held here tomorrow, are begin
ming to arrive IN the city in large num-
bers, and a very interesting meeting is
anticipated. Contrary to reperts, ema
mating from Republican circles and
given publicity through the Republican
papers of the state, the Democratic
convention promises to be productive
of a strong state and judicial ticket.
The Republicans have imagined that
their ticket is so strong that the Demo
Gratis were discouraged and would hold
a state convention merely as a matter
of form and not with the intention of
nominating ticket that would even
make it interesting for the trust follow
ers next November
1t is almost impossible to forecast
with any degree of accuracy at this
time and give the names of the prob
able nominees, for there are several
contests on already and others promise
TO develop ere the convention is called
to order.
Northern wyoming will present the
names of two. and possibly three, can
didates for places on the state and con-
gressional tickets Horace G. Alger Of
Sheridan is being mentioned for the
nomination for congress; George Il.
Beck of Cody, partner of Colonel Will
liam T. Cody (Buffalo BID, and man
ager of the Cody Salisbury canal enter
prise. will undoubtedly receive the
nomination for governor.
For state treasurer. the name of Luke
voorhees, of Cheyenne will doubtless be
placed on the ticket. For secretary of
state Ralph Friend, the Cheyenne and
La Barge rdnchman. is being favorably
mentioned. For justice>sf the supreme
court. there are several candidates. P.
]. Quealy of KemmerFer is bein mem
toned for a place on the state ticket,
as is also Mayor J. l. Murray of Chey-
enne.
For judge of the first judicial district
there are already two strong candidates
in the field-Judge C W. Bramel of La
ramie. the present incumbent, and At
torney f. T. Norton of Casper.
The latter is supported by solid
delega ton, while the strength OF Bra
mel promises to make the fight, between

CASHED BOGUS CHECKS
Shrewd SwindIer Arrested in
0akIand-Represented Himself
as Army Officer.

San Francisco, Cal. Aug. 5.-"Lieu-
tenant Edgar n. Coffey of New York
has been arrested in Oakland, charged
with passing a bogus check on Mrs
Barbara, landlady of the Galindo ho-
tel.
His arrival at the hotel q few days
ago was preceded by a letter from
Portland Ore, purpoTting to be signed
by George W. McIver, captain of the
Seventh infantry, u. S. A, stating that
Coffey was a second lieutenant of that
company. who had been sent south
on official business, requesting that
his name and rank be kept secret, and
asking the hotel people to cash a check
for $50 which had been given him.
The letter was written on official pa
per, and the lieutenant brought with
him many apparently genuine creden-
tials. The check was cashed by Mrs.
Barbara. whose suspicious were
aroused, however. when a second check
was presented by Coffey. An investi-
cation was made, and his arrest fol-
lowed.
Among his effects were found a
great number of army official enve-
lopes, a large quantity of army sta
tionery, many army transportation
blanks. number of blank checks and
large army revolver
At first he strongly protested his in
nocence. but finally admitted that he
was not what he claimed to be, but
asserted that this was his first offense
against the law. He is man of fine
appearance and good address.
