Instead of one harmonious republi-
can county convention being held in,
,Mlnot today there were two conven-
tions held, one in the court house and

they were alleged republican conven- 4
tions. According to Hon. J Johm Wal y
lin, q member Of the republican
county central committee, said at the
meeting Of the reorganization con
yention this afternoon SO delegates
had presented their credentials for
the approval Of the committee On
credentials, When the convention at
the opera house opened this afternoon
there vera 81 delegates present. Il is
plobab BILE that the number was in.
creased by means Of proxies. Attor-
ney d. R. Pierce Of Kenmare was
made temporary chairman and Attor-
ney b. Z. Sutton of Minot secretary.
The convention proceeded to business.
AZ Ninety-six reorg rganlzation delegates
with the proper credentials met at the
court house and we're given seats
There were no bullies at the door to
prevent the entrance Of delegates or
spectators. It was a republican con-
vention Of American citizens not
dominated by brute force and Bowe1y
methods. J. w. Moore of Bowbells
was chosen temporary chairman and
j. 2. Smith Of Surrey and v. Rose Of
Donny brook were elected secretaries.
The convention then proceeded to the
regula business Of the afternoon. .
When the 96 delegates Of the re-
o1ganized republican party, citizens
Of the American republic reported
at the doors Of the opera house, where
the republican county convention was
scheduled toEmeet at p. M. today
they found barring the passage way
esven men stripped to the waist ready
to prevent entrance to the hall By
brute force. Mark Murphy was a
leader. Back Of. him was Sheriff
scofeld, who had his coat and vesi
on. Jerrie Murphy Of Kenmare also
stood in the passage way.
Major Murphy explained to the
delegates assent bled in the hall that
not man Of them would be admitted
until ne handed his credentials over
to the committee on credentials and
the central committee was satisfied
that they were all right. Not man
Of the reorganizers was willing te
trust his credentials in the possession
Of msn that had to have a body d
men stripped to the waist to intimi
date American citizens. The reor
ganizers concluded to 20 to the court
house and hold Republican conven
tion and proceeded forthwith to carry
opt their plan. Il !.

GHOST AS WITNESS.
States Attorney Surprises Court BY
Talking to Empty CHAIR,

Chicago, April 2O.-Cornelius Van
2andwick's ghost way witness today
In Judge ehystraus court.
Van Zandwick was murdered several
months ago In Harvey, He was a
porter in the saloon of George Free
man, and the latter is on trial for the
crime. Van Zandwick did not appear
at the saloon one day. and 1t Is alleged
that Freeman became enraged over
this fact, and. going to Van Zandwlcks
house, shot him through the heart.
Assistant States Attorney Barbour.
In his closing argument In the trial this
morning suddenly surprised everybody
in the court room by announcing that
he would call the dead man from his
grave to testify.
Thereupon, the ghost OF Van Zand-
wick came into court. OF course, no
DOQy saw IHe SpOOh1 pub w "' 'h"SHt"
and purposes, he was there.
"This way, please" said Mr.. Bar
bour, pointing his forefinger at the
spot where the invisible spirit was sup
posed to sit.
The jurors looked at the empty chair
as intently as IL they really saw the
shade Of Van Zandwick. Freeman, the
defendant, gazed in apparent fascina-
ton at the spot. The spectators grew
uneasy.
Look at his wounds, gentlemen"
continued the prosecutor See where
the bullet pierced his heart"
In dramatic manner Mr.. Babour pro-
ceeded to ask the ghost questions,
pausing after each query for an an
swer. These periods Of silence, during
which the apparition was supposed to
be replying, were marked by intense
suppressed excitement in the court
room.
At last, having finished the examina-
ton Of the ghost, Mr.. Barbour said:
you may go back now to the grave
The ghost of Van Zandwick stalked
out; while the widow and children
wept.

OLD RATES
ONCE MORE
Passenger and Freight Rates to
Tillamook Restored for
Time.
VOSBURG BEING REPAIRED
Elmore win Continue to Do
Coast business Alone While
Opposition Steamer Is
Laid Up.

While the tug vosburg Is at Port
land being repaired. the freight and
passenger rates from Astoria and
Portland to Tillamook have been re-
stored. 1t has been intimated that
there has been settlement of the pres
ent war between the two rival COM
panies, but this is pronounced abso-
lutely without foundation. The war
will continue just as long as there is
demoralizing opposition to the Elmore
line.
Samuel Elmore was asked yesterday
whether or not the two companies had
come to an understanding. MT FL
more said
No sir; we have had no under
standing Of any kind. When my line
went into the war II knew what II was
doing Rates had been cut. and we
merely reduced them still further In
an effort to make matters so unproflt-
able for the opposition that 1t would
be forced out OF business or else to
restore rates. At present the steamer
Elmore is the only vessel on the TiIla-
nook run. So long as she Is without
demoralizlng competition. rates will
remain at the former figure--$3.50 for
passengers and IS per ton for freight.
These rates are reasonable. everything
considered II the Vosburg returns to
the run we will again reduce rates to
the figure made some days ago. There
has been no settlement. nor is any
likely. We want the Tillamook busi-
ness and expect to continue to get it."
The Vosburg was damaged slightly
in the collision with the Gilmore at
Tillamook last week, and at Portland
is now undergoing repairs 1t has been
said the company operating her is tir-
ing Of the war, but II Is expected the
tug will return to the run.

man George Thompson, Paul Needham
and A, Pureells, drug clerk. all armed.
engaged In the chase OF the burglar,
but were unable to overtake him.
shortly before midnight last night
Paul Needham was returning from
an entertainment and happened to be
passing the store. AS Needham has
been robbed several times before he was
prompted to go into mis- place Of busi-
ness and see II everything was all
right. He no sooner 30 TO the rear Of
the store than he discovered man at
work prying open the back window.
knowing that II would be difficult for
the robber TO get out through the front
of the store from behind. Needham left
his wife on guard while he started on
a search for Nightwatchman Thomp-
son. intending that she should give the
alarm II the fellow took flight.
Meanwhile A, Purcells, n clerk In
Bowman's drug store, the rear OF which

Thompson and Needham then came up
and all three started In pursuit, but
soon all trace of the man they were
after had disappeared.
The robber, who was surprised at his
work last night. is believed to be the
same one who has succeeded In rob-
bing the drygoods store Of L. Bun on
Shattuck avenue and the jewellery store
of A. Gentry In West Berkeley. The
attempted burglary OF Putzker's bicycle
store last week Is also credited to him.
He was surprised at that job also and
on that occasion Nlghtwatchman
Thompson sent bullet from his re-
volver singing after him as he fled.
but his aim was faulty and the desper-
ate fellow escaped.
