the purpose Of nominating candidates

tendent of public instruction and for
three trustees of the University of II
linois, In reality. however, the con.

the immediate followers Of Bryan who
In successive letters has asked for the
resignation OF Sullivan from the ma
tional committee on the ground that it
was improperly obtained Two years
ago Sullivan not only refused TO re.

what they term the interference OF
Bryan in their state politics.
Before the convention Sullivan
claimed that he controlled l,4O0 out

REBUILDING COUN-
TY BRIDGES
Chairman SeIigman Commenced
Work on Palace Avenue Struct.
ure--More Repairs to Be Made.

Chairman Arthur Seligman, of the
Board of County Commissioners has
instructed the road overseer of pre-
cinct No. Is to summon citizens liable
to pay a road tax or to work on the
public roads of the precinct, for work
on the reconstruction and repair of the
county bridge across the Santa Fe river
at the head of Palace Avenue in pre-
cinct IS. The bridge happens to be
just outside of the city limits and
hence the county must put it into
shape at it's expense. Two years ago
this structure was greatly damaged by
a flood which occurred in September
Of that year. Since then 1t has been
more or less repaired and more or
less again damaged by heavy rains
and an overflow OF water in the Rio
Santa Fe. Mr. Seligman has conclud-
ed to put it into the best possible
shape now and this work is progress
ing rapidly. Ten by ten inch timber
is being used for the supporters and
up rights and the bridge bed will con
sist of four inch red spruce planks.
The bridge will be twenty feet wide
and eighteen feet long when finished.
1t is on the main thoroughfare to the
scenic Highway and is much used by
vehicles of all kinds and by many peo-
pie The chances are that it will be
completed and ready for travel by
Monday next. Road Supervisor Nestor
Rodriguez and eighteen men are now
employed and Mr.. Seligman is giving
the progress of the work his daily at.
tention.
Chairman Seligman has considered
the reconstruction of the wooden
bridge across the Santa Fe River on
Delgado Street and has asked for esti-
mates from carpenters and contrac-
tors. but so far has been unable to
secure them, the builders and con
tractors here being too busy. AS soon
as estimates can be secured, bids for
the rebuilding and repair Of the bridge
will be advertised should the estl-
mates exceed $500. Mr.. Seligman
hopes to be able to undertake this
work at an early date and just as soon
as a contractor can be secured to do

INJURED BY FALL
DOWN MOUNTAIN
Timothy Breen, Prison Guard. Has
Exciting Experience on
Precipice.

Falling off a ledge Of rock twenty
five feet high and rolling down
mountain side fuzzy twice that dis.
tance was the unfortunate experience
yesterday Of Timothy Breen, who Is
employed as a guard with the convicts
working on the Scenic Highway. When
picked up he was in an unconscious
condition and blood was oo2ing from
numerous contusions on his head and
body.
Breen was walking along the road
way near the edge, when he stepped
on loose rock which slipped from
under his foot, and caused him to
lose his balance. Before he could re-
gain his equilibrium he plunged over
the precipice, falling and rolling a
distance of ninety feet. He clutched
al rocks protruding on the mountain
side in an effort 10 save himself but
the rocks became dislodged under
the weight forced upon them
Examination disclosed the fact that
no bones were broken, although the
victim had sustained internal injuries.
He complained of severe abdominal
pains when he revived an hour and
a half afterwards His face was badly
skinned and his entire body is bruised
considerably,
Eye witnesses declare that Breen
landed on his feet after his aerial de.
scent from the ledge, but Tim" was
unable to secure a footing and con.
tined on down the slope. Breen Is
seriously hurt but Is thankful that he
escaped alive. His tumble down the
mountain side discounts any of his
experiences as rough rider during
the Spanish-American war He will
probably be laid up at home for a
week or more
