ten years Mr.. Mooney says he has wit
messed four Of these dances, which
were held with the full knowledge and
consent of the Indian agents.
He denies that any of the dancers

Of the thirty-nine who par,

to had two slits made in his breast
with a knife, each cut being about
half an inch in length He declares
that he did not know of the occur

urges everyone to save and accumu-

to evade it's just share of the burdens

Ohio State Committee by Un-

Contestsin His Favor and the
Zimmerman Man Will Garry
the Fight Into Convention.

COLUMBUS, Ohio. Aug. 25.-The
preliminary meetings this afternoon
and evening OF delegates to the DEM
ocratic state convention which will
open here tomorrow resulted in favor
of Mayor Tom l.. Johnson, of Cleve-
land in his contest with John l.. Zim-
norman, of Springfield, for the gu
bernatorial nomination.
The state central committee passed
upon the contests that affect 145 of the
$50 delegates, in favor of the Johnson
men, who thus had the odds in their
favor when the delegates met later by
congressional districts to select mem
bers of the committees on credentials,
resolutions, etc. The Johnson men Sc
cured most of the members of the new
state central committee which holds
over to call the state convention next
year, when delegates at large to the
Democratic national convention will be
selected, and an Endorsement be made
for the presidency.
