KILLED BY DIR.
PASSENGER TRAIN.
o. p. Whippie Meets Death While
Attempting to Make Fourth
Street Crossing Ahead of Train

o. p. Whipple, the North Ninth

tractor, was instantly killed by east
bound d. & r. q. passenger train No. ,
while crossing the railroad tracks on
Fourth street, near the Santa Fe sta
tion, at 1890 last Tuesday afternoon
Mr.. Whipple was returning from de-
livering load Of hay TO H C. Catlin
in South Canon and the rattle of the
frame wagon. combined with an ab-
rupt turn in the street at the place of
the accident, made it impossible for
him to see or hear the approaching
train, which was hardly twenty five
yards away when he drove upon the
tracks.
The locomotive wrecked the wagon
and slightly injured one OF the horses
he was driving; the other escaping
without injury, although ii was hurled
. distance OF about twelve or fifteen
feet INTO large irrigating ditch as a
result of the collision. The back part
OF the skull of the unfortunate man
was crushed in, but otherwise there
were no marks OF violance upon his
person. In some manner the body
became lodged on the pilo: of the en-
gine and in that position was carried
10 the depot where it was taken in
charge by the railroad officials until
the arrival of the coroner who had it
taken to Phipps' undertaking rooms on
Main street where it was washed and
prepared for burial.

fifty-four years ago but removed to
IOWA when . small boy and spent the
greater part OF his life in that state.

ton and Corning for many years and

in the fall of 1899 and settled in Canon
City where he has since made his home.

During the evening hours there wa 9
great hurrying and hustling for vote S
and the politics of the votes was not
scrutinized very closely. Judge Bailey
found it CONVENIENT TO remain in Buena
Vista, SO was unable to participate
activity in the scrap, else his side might
have come nearer to victory.
The count Of the vote showed the
result to be the Maupin ticket ls7,
Bailey ticket 80.
In Florence the Bailey ticket wss led
by Senator Frank Moore and won by a
handsome majority over the Maupin
ticket led by DR.. Moore. In Florence
the vote stood Bailey-senstor Moore
ticket 242, Msupin-Dr. Moore ticket

Split in
Twain
Democratic Organization
Disrupted by Warrins
Factions. Machine Crowd
Takes to Tall Timber.

AZ q rule democratic conventions,
whether national, state, county or pre-
cinct, are extremely interesting to an
outsider by their display of verbal
pyrotechny in which a few self consti-
tused leaders attempt TO capture the
votes of delegates and enthran the
public by the glamour of their oratory,
full of sound and fury, signifying
nothing" At least such was the case
at the county convention last Tuesday,
which, as spectacular proceeding,
would have made Barnum's circus,
with all OF its high priced clowns, look
like thirty cents
The delegates chosen by the various
precinct primaries last Saturday night
rendered il foregone conclusion that
the county convention would be the
arena in which battle royal would be
fought between contending factions for
the control of the party organization
one OF them under the leadership of
Gen. Maupin of this city and the other
under the banner of Senator Frank
Moore and Lee Champion of Florence.
In view of the fun which the warning
elements within the party promised
there WAS large attendance of spec
tasors at the court house during the
convention and their entertainment
was fully up ID their most sanguine
expectations.
The convention was called to order
By County Chairman John Chetelat at
II 80 a. m. and was organized by the
election of James I. Locke over Lee
Champion by a majority of thirteen
votes. which was a distinct Knockout for
the Florence crowd, whereat there was
great jubilation among the Maupin
following After semblance of order
had been restored, committees on Gre
dentislf. resolutions, permanent or
ganization and 10 select delegates to
the state convention were appointed
by the chair, followed by an adjourn
ment for dinner.
At 80 p. m. the convention reas-
sembled for the transaction of the
business marked out AT the opening
session. If the proceedings were un-
eventful in the morning it cannot be
said that such was the case in the
afternoon. as they took on an aspect
that suggested Donnybrook fair. or .
ward meeting in Chicago, although the
weapons used were invective and de-
nounciation instead Of buckthorns and
brickbats.
The climax was reached when the
committee to select delegates to the
state conventions presented its report;
At that time scene ensued not unlike
that witnessed in the National Demo
cratic convention at St. Louis when
Judge Parker's famous telegram de-
clining to make the race for the presi-
dency upon a platform which counten-
Anced the free silver heresy of four and
eight years ago. There was open re-
volt on the part of the Florence repre-

The Elks seldom do anything by halves.
and it is believed that the celebration
by their order on Friday Of next week
will be no exception to the rule.

poses should be delivered on the

sistants may have time 10 make the
tendents OF the different departments
sufficient time TO classify and arrange
for their display. Every exhibitor
should be present in person TO make
his entries and to see that his exhibits
are properly taken care Of 1t is
believed that the list of exhibits
will be much larger than the manage
ment anticipated couple Of weeks ago
and it will be simply impossible TO
enter and arrange them all on the open
ing day of the fair, therefore it Is very
important that intending exhibitors
govern themselves in accordance with
this suggestion.
