TO DRAW SPECIAL VENIRE
JUDGE ELLIOTT TO RETURN AND
MAYOR A. A. ANIES AT ONCE.

Former Mayor A. A. Ames will be
tried next Monday for the second
time on the indictment charging the
acceptance of a bride from Bessie
Lee. A special venire will be drawn
Tomorrow morning at the latest and
this will give the authorities time
enough to round up a requisite num-
Der of veniremen to begin proceed
ings.
There has been some uncertainty as
to the drawing of the venire and this
led to surmises as to the probability
of the trial not commencing Monday.
Yesterday County Attorney r. H.
Boardman asked Judge r. G. Brooks,
now in chambers, to draw the venire,
but his honor decided that as Judge
Elliott was going to try the case and
had left no word in regard to a jury,
it would be better to await his return.
A telegram was sent to Judge Elliott,
however, asking what he wished done.
1t was thus discovered that the judge
had left for Minneapolis and would
arrive Tomorrow morning, which will
be in plenty Of time for the drawing Of
the venire.
Both the county attorney and the
defendants attorneys are ready for
the fray and both predict a victory
for their SIDE. The evidence will be
practically the same as it was at both
of the former trials and when a jury
is once secured the testimony should
be all put lin without any delay.

E5t ASKS A DISMISSAL
Northern Pacific Railway Seeks to
Avoid Responsibility for Bridge


An answer was filed this morning
by the Northern Pacific Railway com
pany to the order to show cause and
the writ of mandamus in the case of
the State of Minnesota, 1ex3 rel City
of Minneapolis against the st. Paul,
Minneapolis & Manitoba, Great North
ern and Northern Pacific railway
companies brought to compel the
construction of a steel bridge over
their tracks at University avenue NE.
The other defendants were given
until June 80 to answer.
The defendant admits the damaging
of the University avenue bridge by
fire and its present dangerous condi-
ton, but denies that it ever admitted
any obligation to build or maintain
said bridge. It denies that it is it's
duty to maintain the bridge and al
leges that the Van Nest resolution,
passed by the council in September,
1908, ordering the railway companies
to construct said steel bridge, is a
violation Of the terms Of the ordi-
nance under which the companies
have their franchise, and is therefore
void. The defendant prays that the
present action be dismissed.

THREE DULLES
BADLY JOLTED
'Thunderbolt Smith Lays Boy
Beaters Low in One, Two,
Three Order.

Three lumberjacks who attempted
to beat q newsboy on Washington av-
enue yesterday afternoon, found that
the boy had a champion who was able
to take his part even at great odds.
The boy had in some way displeased
the strangers and one Of them caught
him by the collar and struck him
across the face. The boy cried for
help and colored man who was
passing interferred. The lumberjacks
resented the interference and an al
tercation followed which ended with
one of the men striking at the colored
man. His blow was parted like
lightning and an instant later he
found himself stretched on the side
walk by heavy swing from the
Negroes right.
AS the one lumberjack went down,
the other two made rush at the
negro. A right and left in quick
succession, laid the two beside their
companion and before they could re-
gain their feet a policeman was on
the scene. He learned the cause Of
the trouble and allowed the men to
go, believing that they had been suf-
iciently punished.
The colored man was Charles c..
Smith, better known3in sporting cir
cles as "Thunderbolt," the colored
prize fighter. s

LOCAL POLITICS
HEARST men MAY
BOLT CONVENTION.
HARMONY PLAN FAILS-FAC.
TONS no FIGHT IT OUT.
Separate States Will Be Presented
and Each Side Prepares for Bitter
Contest-C Charges and Counter
charges MadeMeeting Will Be
Turbulent.

Inc democratic county convention,
which will be held tomorrow at Nor
mamma hall, promises to be turbulent
and bitter. The Hearst and anti
hearst men got together to-day, but
failed to effect a compromise on lead
ers, and the result will be that each
faction will go into the meeting with
It's own slate, and prepared to fight
hard for success. There has devel-
oped, further, the likelihood that the
Hearst men, In the event of inability
to carry their points, will withdraw
entirely and select delegates at a
rump convention.
We desire to name Major j. M.
Bowler for chairman" said w. H.
Williams, Hearst leader, to-day, "be-
cause the major isz'a great friend OF
John Lind, and we believed that his
presiding would do much to bring
about harmony. I don't know who
we will run for chairman now"
Edward Stevens, of the ants, also
| refuses to say whom they shall run
| for chairman. 1t is a certainty, how
ever, that each side will have a slate
which will include a chairman, sec
rotary and members of credential
committee.
The anti-Hearst men will try to GUST
Hearst delegates elected at trump"
caucuses on the ground that such eau
cuses were not held at ehe legally
designated places. The Hearst men
will reply by trying to GUST anti
Hearst men who were given creden-
tails by other than proper precinct
| officers. "a
The Hearst men claim that the ants
| will try to run things with a high
hand; and that for this purpose they
| requested the mayor to let them have
squad Of police at the convention
hall to enforce order under anti rul-
ings, but that the mayor refused to
let them have but one officer. This
story, Of course, the ants deny.
The Hearst men to-day claim a
working majority Of seventy-nine dele
gates in the county convention. The
ants, on the other hand, claim they
are stronger to-day than yesterday
and on a square deal will easily win
wanted to compromise things at to-
days 'harmany' meeting because they

It is not at all unlikely that as the
ant1-Hearst element has the county
committee, and the county chairman,
presiding officer Of the convention,
on its side, that because Of rulings in
| opposition to their desires the Hearst
men may bolt and hold a county con-
vention Of their own, at which they
will elect delegates. This will make
Two SetS OIL QemOcraL1c delegates from

When Deputy Sheriff. John Wall re-
gained consciousness, at 9 o'clock this
morning, the last thing he could re-
member was the crash of broken
spokes and the relentless chuff, chuff,
chuff of a powerful automobile.
How he got to his home at 221O
Tenth avenue S was a mystery to him.
In the dark of the early morning
Wall was driving on Calhoun boule-
ward near Lakewood cemetery. He
was bound for Edna Mills to serve
papers. Somewhere back of him was
an automobile coming rapidly. He
thinks it must have been a powerful
machine from the sound. Suddenly
there was crash; Wills buggy was
demolished and all was blank to him
till he regained consciousness about
9 o'clock.
Left ON His Porch.
Wall was found unconscious on his
porch about 6 o'clock. His papers
lay beside him. The man had two
ribs broken and looked as if he had
been thru a tornado. Numerous cuts
and bruises were on his head and his
clothes were torn.
About 5 o'clock the family heard an
automobile pause for moment near
the house. Neighbors sleepily noted
and two women that stopped on
Tenth avenue. They saw one man
alight and assist the other man to the
curb This second man stumbled and
Wavered in his walk and leaned heavi-
ly on his companion. Thinking the
incident marked the end Of might
out" the witnesses paid no more at
tention to the party and did not notice
where the stumbling man was taken.
So far as known this is the only clue
to the, "chuffing" party responsible for
Wallis injury 1t seems probable that
after running him down, the chauffeur
noted his serious condition and, find
ing his name on his papers, looked up
his address ad took him home. His
papers were also carefully gathered
up.
Feeling among the sheriff's staff and
Wallis friends is running high and
every effort will be made to identify
and prosecute the operators Of the
machine.
