Laid ont with a FIatIron.

A young negro. William Bryant, lay last
night on a cot at the city jail under medical
Inspection, so that 1t could be known
whether his skull had been fractured, rem
dering his condition serious, or IL only the
outer shell of bone had been splintered. His
condition was due to a wound in the
crown of the head where Irene Cor Della)
Myers had struck him with the point of a
six-pound polishing iron during an a%lterca-
ton at their rooming place in the rear OF
the frame house at Thirteenth and Dodge
streets. Shortly before IL o'clock Mrs. Liza
Carter heard a cry and running downstairs
found Bryant lying in the yard. Officer
Mccarthy was summoned and soon found
the Myers woman, whom he arrested.
Bryant was not able to give the particulars
of the row. The woman said that they had
quarreled when coming home on Tenth
street earlier in the evening and that
Bryant had tried to cut her with a knife.
When they reached their room, she says,
he threatened her again with the knife.
The house where the trouble arose is oc-
cupied by Mrs. Cady, and the two have
been there only a short time. Mrs. Carter,
whose property the iron is, was much con-
cerned when this was, carried off TO the
police station and implored the officers to
return II in time for her morning work.

HARD FIGHT TO KEEP MEN
Unisn Pacific Brings in More Wsrkmsn,
Many of Whom Desert.
STRIKERS FRIENDS AMONG THE LOT
Company Imports Thirty-TwO from
East and Sends Them West
with Ten from Local
shops.

Interest in the Union Pacific strike at-
fairs again has shifted to the company's
effort at manning its shops. Unusual ac-
tivity along this line has marked the prog
ress Of the fight during the last two days.
With the addition and subtraction process
constantly in operation it seems to be a
"stand-oh" between getting men In the
shops and keeping them from going out.
Friday morning a carload OF men arrived
over the Milwaukee from the east, thirty
two in all, and these, with ten taken from
the local shop force, were sent out farther
west, the plan being to employ them in
other shops at different points. Most OF
the Milwaukee crowd were said to be union
men, and 1t is said they would desert the
company upon their arrival at their des-
tinations. Their scheme is to get to the
Pacific coast, and they are taking advantage
Of the company's free transportation to &C
complish this end.
Another importation of fourteen men came
in yesterday morning on the Illinois Central
''billed" from Chester, Pa. Twelve of this
number left on their arrival and Joined the
strikers. The leader OF the crowd had this
10 say;
1--WE were hired in Chester on the under
standing that there was no strike out here,
and, while we had our suspicious, we knew
nothing positively until our arrival. We
had come to the conclusion, however,
shortly before reaching Omaha that
there was a strike on, as they locked
the car doors for fear we would leave the
train. and we determined to do so at the
first opportunity. This chance was not
offered until our car was run into the shop
yards and we were turned loose. We we're
usherad into the dining room at the shops
for breakfast and within a few minutes

and John Matteson. Green says he and
Matteson are carpenters by trade and had
been at work at that trade for the Union
Pacific here. but when the force in the

go in there and work. Not being familiar
with that character OF work, the young

These OBJECTIONS at Cheyenne and other
western towns make IL necessary for the
company to take men from its Omaha
shops.

the loeal shops every little while. but in
some cases their men are detected by ON

TO PROTECT DAKOTA CITY
War Department Probably Will Act
at Once on Engineers
Recommendation.

Senator Willard is in receipt of a letter
from Captain H. M. Chittenden Of Sioux
City, Ia, in which the latter says that he
has made a thorough investigation Of the
river front at Dakota City, Neb., and has
recommended to the War department that
the anchor riprap be put in. 1t is likely
that the work will begin at once. When
Senator Willard was in Washington on his
recent trip he called upon General Giles
pie, chief Of the engineers corps, aud after
the matter had been thoroughly explained
to him General Gillespie said 1t would re-
ceive his immediate attention. The river
at Dakota City has so encroached upon the
town that much property is endangered.

DEAL ON WITH DEMOCRATS

In Nomination.

Political DOinEs.

cat the congressional convention tomor-
row." said a leader Of the anti-Herdman-
Howell faction yesterday, The demo-
cratic party Of this district is to be de-
liberately and disgracefully traded of. The
bargain has been made between the Herd
man-Howell clique and the Mercer man
ayers, and IL only remains for so-called
delegates Of the party to carry 1t out In
convention. Lee Herdman and Ed Howell
named this delegation and as they control
II absolutely there has been no hesitancy
on their part to negotiate for it's delivery
in the interests Of Ed HowelPs candidacy
for mayor. The bargain has been made
with the Mercer clique of so-called repub-
licans and the agreement is to nominate
@. NJ. Hitchcock for congress in considera-
ton Of a promise from the Mercerites to
help elect Howell mayor next spring.
The whole deal rests on the presump-
tion that the republicans are to nominate
Mercer and Moores. and the end aimed at
is the election of Mercer and the defeat Of
Moores. Few democrats believe that Hitch
cock would poll the full vote Of the fusion
lists, and not one thinks for a moment that
he could win out. Mercer has realized all
along that the opposition to him in his own
party is so strong and rreconcilable that
he could not be elected If nominated, in case
the democrats put up a man who could
gather in the votes of those republicans
who are opposed to him. SO the point with
him-aud a point preliminary even to his
nomination--was to see that the democratic
nominee should be one who could not get
the support Of the anti-Mercer republicans.
THAT is why the democratic convention has
been called before the republican conven-
tion and that is why Hitchcock is MERGERS
man. The whole thing is as plain as the
nose on your face. II Mercer is to be the
republican candidate, the only hope of elect
ing the democratic nominee is the hope OF
having him draw the votes of the anti
Mercer republicans. Hitchcock, OF all men,
is the last man to do this.
I'm return for the nomination Of Hitch
cock. MERGERS managers promise to help
nominate and elect Ed Howell mayor next
spring. Furthermore, they promise in the
event Of MERGERS defeat at the republican
primaries and the nomination of some other
republican for congress to turn in and help
elect Hitchcock. And that is what Hitch
cock gets out Of the deal. The most dis
graceful part Of the whole transaction ia
the selling out Of the democrats Of this dis
trict like so many cattle"
