While on the way to Lewistowa
last Saturday, the team attached to
the Gilt Edge stage became fright
ened and ran over a high cut bank,
upsetting the coach. c. B. Noble, who
was coming in from the Cone Butte
country, jumped when the horses
started and suffered a very severely
bruised ankle. 1t was reported here
that his leg was broken but this was
a mistake, although he will not be
able to walk for several days. One
passenger inside the coach had no
chance to jump and just bumped
along with the old wagon until she
came to stop. An inventory of his
injuries showed a cracked jaw, sew
eral teeth knocked out and other in
juries, more or less severe.

the selection Of new delegates to the
congressional convention.
The two voted TO invalidate the
previous call, under which Montgom-

are practically a unit in opposition
to the denomination of Congressman
Harding. May II was fixed as the
date, and Eaton as the place for the
convention.
A committee of three from each
county was appointed to select con-

was done was against the protest OF
Mr. Bieser and according to the
Bleser program there will be two

But it will be seen that all the
Republican reformers give more

subject and the further fact that
they even now refuse to make the
slightest concession, even where the

tariff cannot be entrusted to the
Republican party.

Governor Johnson says that he does
not propose to make Illinois the bat
tie ground Of his fight for the NOM
ination for the presidency by the
Denver convention. At least he is
not going to run any risk of disrupt
ing the Democratic party. Governor
Johnson has more judgment about
campaign than some OF
his admirers. He has stated that he
will not refuse the nomination II It
Is offered TO him, but he does not
propose to go into the race just TO
beat Bryan. Some OF his admirers
have given the impression that John
son Is going to defeat Bryan or
