PARKER AND DAVIS.
DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION COMPLETES
ITS WORK on SUNDAY MORNING.
Parker Causes Sensation BY Stating His
Views Upon Money Question.

ST. LOUIS, July 9.--Amid scenes
unparalleled in any national conven-
tion in history, the democrats at $40
O'Clock this morning nominated Judge
Alton B. Parker, of New York, for
president. 1t was a case of Parker on
the first or second ballot or Parker
beaten, so it was that Belmont, Hill
and Sheehan brought together the
forces organized during the arduous
campaign Of months in supreme efforts
to land the New Yorker.
Eight names were presented to the
convention, and the first ballot gave
Judge Parker 65S votes nine less than
necessary to nominate, Hearst POO,
the remainder being divided among
the minor candid ates. Several states
ediately changed their votes to
Parker and effected his nomination.

Identified As Kid Curry,

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, July 10.-Towell
F. pence, a detective employed by a
Chicago agency, has returned to that
city, after securing identifcations of
two pictures which he had in his pos
session, supposed to be photographs of
the famous Montana bandit and train
robber Harvey Logan, alias ''Kid
Curry"
Early on the morning Of July s, a
gang held up Denver & Rio Grande
train near Parachute, Colo, but
after blowing two safes and shoot
ing one railroad employe, they Sc
cured only $40. A posse of COW boys
was at once organized and chase was
given. In the chase one of the ban
dts was shot from his horse by cow
boy and as soon as he fell was seen to
shoot himself through the head. Pic
lures were taken Of the dead man.
Believing the photographs TO be those
OF Logan, Spence came here to identi
fy the bandit through jail officials,
where Logan had been confined for
more than q year. Sheriff Fox from
whom Logan escaped, positively iden-
titled the photographs as those of Lo-
gan. So did Jailer Thomas Bell.
whom Logan held up 1T the point of a
pistol while escaping from jail. The
outstanding reward for the bandit is
variously estimated at between SIS, 600
and $4,000. 1t is probable that the
bandits body will be exhumed and
further identification esta blished as
Logan had many bullet marks on his
| body

Bryan Surrenders Leadership.

ST. LOUIS, July 9.-Bryan's last
stand in the convention was made with
hollow but blazing eyes, and in o
voice SO husky it seemed to tear the
very flesh of his throat. Dawn shone

tion OF the beaten leader.

the committee and on the floor. In
committee he was more successful than

A Lake Of Oil On Fire.

LANDER, Wyo., July "A reser-

with a heat that makes approach i'm
possible and covering the country for
miles around with black smoke.
Nearby are two other lakes or pools
of oil which contain nearly half
million barrels of oil. Should these
take fire it will cause the loss of over
Sc, 100000 worth of oil, machinery,
derricks, etc. The wells are gushers,
but have been capped, awaiting the
building OF a railroad by the company
for the transportation Of the product.

Mining Stampede III Oregon.

MEDFORD, Ore, July ..-This town,
and the whole southern part of the
state for at matter, are in state of
the widest excitement over RENT ark
able gold discovery made recently on
Sucker creek near here. which has
already yielded $4,000 by the crude
method Of shovel and pan. Scores of
people are hocEing to the scene of the
discovery, travelling horseback, in
wagons and on foot.
The question now agitating the MI
ners is whether the find is merely a
pocket or whether it is a ledge with
greater treasures hidden in it's depths.
Thus far there has been no indication
Of the wonderful find being exhausted, :,
and assertion is made by many that
the find will develop a new Eldorado
The discovery is owned by David
Briggs and his two sons. 1t was ac-
cidentally stumbled upon by one of
the sons, IS years old, while on deer
hunting expedition.

Hill Is Proud OF Ills Work

ST. LOUIS. July 9.-Ex- Sen ator
David B. Hill was seen as soon as the
convention adjourned and said:
"Of course | am delighted with the
result, and the more SO because of the
two facts-tirst, tn at Judge Parker was
named on the first ballot, and, second,
because, with one one exception, no
personal abuse Or vituperatlon was
indulged in. Each state was allowed
to put in nomination its favorite son
and vote for him as we had planned.
Judge Parker will, believe, make an
ideal candidate, and will fit the plat
form, which is also ideal.'
