BRYAN MEN DEFEATED.
But They Will Carry Fight to Floor Of
New York Convention.


New York, April 15.-The first day
of the Democratic state convention
closed with defeat of those dele
gates committed to the candidacy of
William j. Bryan. The committee on
resolutions adopted a set of resolu-
lions to be presented to the conven-
ton when It reconvenes, providing for
an uninstructed delegation to the ma
tional Democratic convention at Den
yer.
When the state convention orga-
nized, the Bryan men offered reso-
luton instructing the delegates to be
chosen for Mr.. Bryan. 1t was re-
ferred to the committee on resolu-
tions, which met and in turn referred
the Bryan resolutions to a subcom.
mittee of seven. The subcommittee
heard an appeal by Augustus Thomas.
president of the Bryan Progressive
Democratic league, which fathered the
resolution, and then by vote OF 8
to 1 decided to report to the full COM
mittee the recommendations against
an instructed delegation. The sub
committees report was received and
adopted by the committee on resolu-
tons by vote of % to 4. A minority
report Of the subcommittee calling
for an instructed delegation was
defeated by similar vote. Nineteen
members of the committee on resolu-
lions were absent when the vote was
taken.
The Bryan men declared later that
they would carry the fight to the floor
of the convention. '-

BIG DAM GOES OUT.
Causes Heavy Loss to Property in
... Montana.

Montana.
Helena, Mont, April 15.-Without
warning the great dam at Hauser lake
on the Missouri river fifteen miles
north of this city, partially gave way,
causing damage estimated at $780,
900. No lives were lost and as far
as can be learned no serious damage
has been caused by the volume of wa
ter, estimated at about twenty-five
feet, which was precipitated into the
channel below the structure. The
narrowness of the river and its inter-
winding course has impeded the prog
ress of the water and no great loss of
property is anticipated in the towns
and villages north of this city.
- Hauser lake dam, 20 feet high and
400 feet long, was completed last year
at cost of more than $2,O00,000, and
developed a horsepower of $4,000,
which was utilized in operating the
various power plants in Helena and
the Butte mines and the Amalgamated
Copper company's smelter plants at
Anaconda. The break in the dam site
will not interfere with the operation
Of the mines and other plants, as pow
err is being furnished from the Canyon
Ferry dam and the company's sub
station in Butte.
The break was caused by the buck
ling of steel plates near the lower ex-
pansion joint. .., Ills
At the time the structure gave way
about thirty men were at work in the
powerhouse, which is situated about
100 yards below the dam site on the
north side of the river. 1t is believed
that all those men escaped and that
! no lives were lost at the dam. About
$50 feet of the dam was destroyed.
Five dwellings occupied by employees,
the office building and stable were
washed down the river as the great
food of water poured through the dis
pembered structure.

1ryan Men Issue Cali.

st. Paul, April 15.-Twenty-two To-
cal Bryanites have issued a call for
caucuses and a county convention
which will doubtless result in con-
testing delegations at the state con-
vention. The caucuses are called for
1880 p. m. on May 6, while the call of
the Democratic county committee
puts the time of the caucusee at from
5 to o'clock on May 6. The Bryan
ties contend that the laboring men,
who they say would support Bryan,
could not attend the caucuses at s
o'clock.

Referred to Legislative Committee.
Mr.. jackson moved that the matter
be referred to the legislative commit
tee to report at the next meeting OF
the club. H. l.. Schmitt offered an
amendment that it also pass a resolu

date steps to secure the proposed new
leharter. The council would have to
provide the expense of preparing a
new charter. This was accepted by
Mr.. jackson and the motion was car.

last year.

Another Convention Slated.
Ed. Nyquist, president of the
Boosters club, said that the matter

lit was thought that it would look
better if an invitation should come
from the Commercial club.
A. J. Veigel moved that the clut
extend such an invitation, and thi:
was carried.
A street car passed at this time
and the club broke out into applause
C. w. Jessup brought up matter
of interest to the manufacturing com

addresses and business, and that the

LATTER CLAIMS LOWEST BID
City Attorney Schmitt States That
Council Had Right to Accept
Any Of the Proposals.

Contractor Joseph Effer began hi:
work of collecting the garbage of the
city this morning, having entered into
a contract with the city. He furnished

Daby Claims Lowest Bid.
A. L. Daily, who was the second low
est bidder, today served written no
tice upon the council that he had fur
nished bond for 5000 and filed it will
the city recorder, and that he had this
day begun the collection of garbage
as per the specifications and agreement
signed by him. He says that his biz

Effer's and demands consideration Of
the same. He adds: "The seemingly

Doesn't Recognize Daily.

DR.. Bjelland states that he does not
recognize Daby's right to collect gar
bage, but if he is doing SO there ought
to be clean city with two men at
work
City Attorney Schmitt states that the
council has legal right to accept any
of the bids that it saw fit, and that
Effer is the official garbage collector.
1t appears that the lowest bidder
is a man who recently came to Man
kato and bought some land, and inten'
ded to use the garbage to feel to hogs
an. expected to come out all right.

FOR THIRD TIME PACKARD
ENTERTAINS LOCAL AUDIENCE

The third annual visit Of Alton
Packard, the famous chalk talker
and humorist, to Grand Junction was
made yesterday, and last night at
least 800 holders Of lecture course
tickets were at the Congregational
church and were charmed, thrilled,
astonished and delighted by the won-
derfufiy clever work Of this wonder
fully clever entertainer and artist.
Vanity Fair" was the subject of
Packard's lecture last night. Vanity
fair is the wide. wide world, so says
Packard. and sketch after sketch of
the Inhabitants of Vanity afr were
drawn upon the great sheets of pa
per by Packard. The spring-tme.
the summertime, the autumn-time
and the winter-time of life were de-
picted in all their natural details.
Many great pictures did Alton
Packard create last night. many that
were comic and grotesQue, some that
were beautiful and of serious and
sentimental nature-all were re-
markable and interesting.
THE Song of the Brook" "Ths
Spider and the Fly" THE Tenpta-
| tion Of the Mountain" were perhaps
| the three strongest and greatest pic
lures of the evening. These were
| supplemented by score or more of
| other pictures and sketches of q
| comic nature. ALI the time he was
drawing Packard kept up q now OF
stories, witticisms and pretty bits of
poety. AZ he drew the various pic
turss he told the story Of each sub
ject while the srayol brought the
subject into being on the canvas. His
naprahon OF the legend - the old
n ri at frn OF trft in oH n
Temptation On the Mountain" was
one of the finest things heard in the
d srsA EA q tsl0 Slns.
Packard pleased immensely last
night. He always does. He mover
grows cid. His return this year was
jeyfally hailed by all the ticket hold
srs. His vanity Fair" compares
| most favorably with his ether Two
