JACOBSON LEADS
IN PLEDGED VOTES
Lac Qui Parle Man Makes His Elk

County Conventions.
UNPLEDGED DELEGATES
WILL DECIDE RESULT
Cole and Block Stand Next in
Strength, but Many Refuse
to Give Preference.

Only one thing stands out as a GER
tainty in the returns from republican
county conventions held yesterday. The
republican nominee for governor will
be chosen at Duluth by uninstructed
and unpledged delegates. No great
popular clamor for any one man was
developed.
jacobson leads in the figures, as
everyone expected. He surprised the
politicians in some quarters and failed
to make good the claims in other
places. T h Journal s returns by
counties give him a positive strength
of little over 800, which will be his
first and last, it is expected. It will
be trading stock. He will probably
score $50 on the first ballot, by scat
Sering votes from counties reported as
Jou rnal's table as unattached"
Some additional strength is promised
him on the second ballot, which may
run his vote up to 400. This is without
counting votes secured by trading: IT
takes 545 to nominate, and jacobson
is long way from that figure. The
organization will be against him, and
the fight for him will be an uphill
one. The field is against him. His

sition cannot unite. When it tries to
deliver delegates to any one man,
Jacobson will draw from all the others,
they say, and will be nominated.
Cole Claims 245.
A.. L. Cole made a good showing, and
will have votes from several counties
not credited to him in the table. G..

Todd, and 8 from Wabasha. He says
Cole will have 245 or better ON the first
ballot, with many second choice votes.
Cole defeated jacobson in Grow. Wing
and Otter Tail, but both counties are
for jacobson as second choice. Cole
seems to have gotten the best Of it in

Racing to save his life and exert
ing every muscle to escape the clutches
of the drunken tramps who chased him
and his two friends. Leonard Black, 8
years old, dropped dead last evening
near his home, 621 Harrison street NE. !,
The long race had taken his entire
strength, and he fell headlong to the /
sidewalk before his friends knew what .
had happened.
Leonard, in company with Clyde
Clough, GIG Harrison street NE, and /
Arthur Cameron, 637 Harrison street,

near Spring and Polk streets. As they /,
were walking along the tracks they met
two tramps who were staggering their
way toward the city limits.
-: Chased by Tramps.
"Hello," said one of the boys, half
frightened, but hoping to keep the
men in good humor.
"Wen get you," said one of the
drunken men as he started toward the
bows. His companion also started in
pursuit of the boys.
Thinking their lives were at stake,
the boys turned and fled toward home.
Their, pursuers stopped, after running
about a block, but the boys. fearing to
look back, ran on.
| Suddenly Leonard Black stumbled,
ran on a few feet, and then dropped to
the sidewalk unconscious. His little
companions turned, and seeing that the
tramps were following, they tried to
help the boy to his feet. Failing in
this, they sought help of pedestrians.
and few minutes later the parents OF
the boy were notified.
The boys father, A. n. Black, car
ried him to his home, where he died
few minutes later.
| - Killed by Fright.
Deputy Coroner Irvine was summoned
and pronounced death due to heart fail.
j ure brought about by fright and ex-
| haustion. 49,
j AS soon as the neighbors heard of the
tragic death, q band organized to hunt
down the tramps. Aided by the police,
the entire northeast section Of the city
was thoroly secured, but the men could
not be found. It is thought that they
boarded an outgoing train and escaped
1 from the city. Some think they did not
even know Of the death of the boy.
Both boys who accompanied Leonard
say they could positively identify the
i tramps, and the police are keeping up
| the search 80.
