District Judges Renominated.

A. s. Blair, of this county, and F. G.
Platt, OF Blackhawk county, were I'M
animously renominated at the republi.
can judicial convention held in Water
loo last Saturday. The district consists
of the counties of Delaware, Buchanan,
Blackhawk and Grundy, and each coun-
ty had good delegations present at the
convention. This is Judge Platt's Sec
ond and Judge Blair's third nomina.
tion, and the unanimous action of the
representatives of the people of the dis
trict is highly complimentary to the
districts judiciary. In Judge Blair's
case the action of the district is some.
thing more than an ordinary nomina-
ton. 1t is the unwritten law of politics
that every officer, who has creditably
performed the duties of his office dur
ing his first term, is entitled to renom
ination. But this does not apply to any
subsequent nomination, and third
nomination for an important position
may be justly considered in the nature
Of q vote of confidence.
While Judge Platt is at present serv-
ing his first full term as district Judge
he had previously held q part of term
by appointment, SO in years of service
and experience there is little difference
between the two district judges.

BANK ROBBERS AT CHICAGO
Crack Safe and Get $e,e75-Explosion
Draws Crowd-Futile Chase
for the Robbers.

/ Chicago, June Dynamite and
bullets, safe robbery that resulted in
the loss of $2,275 and the wrecking of
the Vienna Model bakery company's
plant at 1854 Jefferson street, caused
commotion early in the morning in. the
vicinity Of the Desplaines street police
station.
Shortly before 4 O'clock three men
ran from the building, almost STUN
bling over score or more persons
who, aroused by the noise of the eXplo-
sion, had rushed out of doors to learn
the cause of the disturbance. The eX-
plosion was SO sharp that everyone
who heard it thought there had been
shooting affair. Among others who
saw the men were several watchmen.
among whom was Michael FlOrla, who
is employed by the Shields Candy COM
pany. He and his companions made a
chase for the fugitives and were aided
by several policemen, all of whom
drew their revOlvers and began shoot
ing. The shots had not the desired eff
feet, however, and the burglars es-
capped with their booty.

Caught Asleep When Two Lake Steamers
Crash Together.
Duluth, Mimi. June 9--Without the
faintest suspicion OF impending dan.
ger and with less than a minute of
warning. nine members of the crew of
the big steel whaleback steamer
Thomas Wilson We're sent to the bot
tom Of Lake Superior, and the ten
remaining members of the crew were
left to fight for their lives in the open
lake until a tug could cover the mile
and a half of distance between the
shore and the scene of the disaster.
The steamer Wilson, ore laden for
the lower hikes, was cut in two fifteen
minutes out of this port by the steamer,
George q. Iadley, that was just com
ling i'll with cargo of coal. The Will
son sank in less time than 1t takes to
tell, it, and The Hadley was forced 10
crowd on ali steam and run for the
nearest shoal water, which, though
Iiassisteh by tugs she barely reached
before sinking.
The nine men who We're lost be-
5longed to the watch below" and We're
in their berths asleep when the col
lision took place. They We're: Aaron
Trip cook; Frank second cook,

deep that only the tops of her spars

Chicago, June G.-Pcace resulted

The terms of the agreement be-

not what the Transfers demanded, but
it is n material increase over the old
rate OF compensation, and here is
where the compromise came in, the
men accepting smaller increase than
they had demanded. Some improve

BATTLE GOES ON DOWN TOWN
Between Every Delivery the Police Have
Continuous Fight.

From this on the battle was con-
tinuous. The wagons would deliver a
lot of meat under police protection
and start for the next point of deliv-
cry. Then teamsters of all kinds
would make it their business to get
in the way and cause blockades and
then there would be a battle In which
the blockading Transfers suffered
severely, for the police We're "onto the
game" and had no mercy on the men
who caused blockades and then re-.
sisted the officers, which seemed to be
the plan Of campaign.
All along State street south of Van
Buren, the fight went on; then It was
transferred to Fifth avenue and Madi-
SON. The police once drew their re-
Volvers, while individual policemen
were continually in danger of death
from the vicious blows made at them
with anything handy on blockading
wagon. One blockading driver was
about to use an ice pick when a re-
volver stopped him. Finally the job
was done, he deliveries of beef all
made and he wagons were escorted
back to the stock yards
The police We're forced to resort
to their revoIvers again, however, as
the caravan of empty wagons reached
Sixteenth street and Michigan avenue
| OH its way back. AS the wagons drew
under the railway viaduct of the st.
Charles Air Line shower of missiles
| flew down upon the teamsters. Fifty
| shots We're fired by the police to cow
che rioters into order. No one was re-
| ported injured by the firing Six Of the
empty wagons that had become sep
! arated from the main caravan were
halted ut Thirty-fifth street and Grand
boulevard until reinforcements of po-
lice could be obtained from the STAN
ton avenue station before going on to
the stock yards, where trouble was
expected.
And the expected happened. The
] wagons, driven by men covered with
dust or blood or both, many of them
| barely able to hold the reins, SO weary
We're they, and guarded by policemen
equally exhausted, entered the main
| gate Of the Union stock yards amid u
shower of stones, bricks. bottles and
sticks. AT the very entrance of the
stock yards, after all seeming danger
had passed. George June. an employe
of the Anglo-A Packing COM
pnny, was struck by II base ball bat
and knocked from his wagon seat. He
was picked up in nm unconscious cOIdi-
ton and may die. Many others were
struck at the same time by shower
of stones, but the police We're too
worn out to offer resistance. More
than a dozen BATTLES We're fought dur
ing the day, and the hospitals are
overcrowded with the injured.
The last fight before reaching the
stock yards was Mt the railway cross
ing on Thirty-fifth street. Here the
convoy of wagons was cut in two.
Seeing this, the mob again took cour-
age and surged about the wagons.
Bricks were thrown and the police
