 Haywood said they were having trouble in the convention and there threatened to be split up.
 They thought that if something was pulled off in Cripple Creek the ex- citement would make everything all right in the convention, and the dele gates would go home.

Neville and I decided to go on to the Dakotas. It was about two weeks before we tIA Ita . to stop there and take the hot baths. I rode on and sent the horses back for Neville.
