AWAITING HITCHCOCK.
Little Work Being Done at Reput

Secretary Elmer Dover of the republican
national committee has not yet arrived in
Washington. or. If he has. he has not We,
made known his arrival at the loca head
quarters of the national committee He Is
not expected until Thursday. and Mr..
Fisher. who is in charge. says that active
operations will not begin probably until
after Chairman Hitchcocks arrival from
the west, where he is now holding con-
ferences with the leading republicans.
At the republican congressional commit
tees rooms Mr.. Francis Curtis with a
small force of employees. is doing some
work along literary lines. He states that
a meeting of the committee will probably
not be held until after Mr.. Sherman is
regularly notified of his nomination for
Vice President on the republican ticket.
Mr.. Sherman, he declared, is punctfllous
about proprieties. and will probably take
no action looking to his withdrawal from
the committee until he Is officially notified
of his nomina ton, although it is believed
the committee has already anticipated its
action in case of Mr.. Sherman's with
drawal. There will be two vacancies to
fill in that event. he said.
Contributions of voluntary character
are coming I'm unsolicited. although not to
a considerable extent. Mr.. Fisher said 1t
is not unlikely that the operations of the
national and congressional committees
will in a measure be merged. except In a
few doubtful districts, to which the con-
gressiOnaI committee will give its special
and exclusive attention.

.HEARST'S COUP IN INDIANA
CONN TO RUN FOR GOVERNOR
ON INDEPENDENCE TICKET.
Move Said to Be Likely to Be a
Bombshell in the Demo-
cratic Ranks.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, July 21.-William
r. Hearst's leading 'lieutenants in the
independence party acting, no doubt.
with his knowledge and consent. have
planned a coup that will create genuine
surprise, and that is likely to prove a
veritable bombshell in the ranks Of the
democratic party In Indiana.
The secret, which has been nursed by
the independence party leaders for sew
eral weeks. came out last evening, when
Charles F. Neal of Lebanon, one of
Hearst's right-hand men. and the prob
able nominee for Vice President on the
Independence ticket, authorized the an
nouncement that the independence party
when it meets in state convention in In
dianapolis, August %. will nominate as
Conn Of Elkhart.
Mr.. Conn, who is a multi-millionaire.
an ex-mayor Of Elkhart an ex-represent-
ative and manufacturer was a candi-
date for the democratic nomination for
governor before the state convention
which met in Indianapolis last March.
He spent a good sum for advertisements
in many newspapers throughout the
state. In which he assailed the democratic
machine in Indiana. and paid his re-
spects in scathing irony to Thomas Tag
CART.
The determnatio ion, of the independence
party to make Nm it's standard bearer
in Indiana is interpreted to mean that
Hearst is still after Taggart.
Mr.. Conn for time resided in Wash
ington. He was the owner and publisher
of the Times until the fall of 1896 when
he sold the paper and returned to In
diana.

race full Of vigor and kept on to the
half. He then walked away briskly.
There was shrill yelling and much wav-
ing of flags when the result was an
nounced by megaphone at the very mo-
ment that Sheppard was approaching the
American crowd. A group of supporters
rushed out from the stand into the field,
lifted the American victor to their shoul-
The great mass of the spectators was
deeply disappointed because England

to the side of the tracks six feet away.
Just after the wreck occurred the cars
caught fire from the trolley wires and
began to smolder. but the uninjured pas
sengers soon put out the blaze with water
from a nearby rivulet and dragged the
wounded to places of safety. From there
the injured were taken to Aurora and
nearby farmhouses in automobiles and
farmers wagons.
Motorman Fails to Wait.
Lovedale station, where the wreck oc-
Cured is on the banks Of Spring creek
between Elgin and Aurora. The line at
this point is single track one, and
although it is a part of the third-rail
system the trolley power was used upon
it. At Lovedale station is switch. Here.
according to officials of the road, a south
bound car from Elgin. in charge Of Mo-
torman s. Bell. was supposed to stop and
wait until a nortlrbound car from Aurora
passed it. Instead of stopping his car.

was running at nearly the same speed as
the ear approaching.
Mad Rush to Escape.
The motormen of the two cars both
turned on the brakes. but they did not
appear to hold Immediately. and at the
last minute. seeing that the collision
could not be averted both of them
jumped down the bank. escaping with
slight injuries. Passengers on both cars
saw the danger just before the motor
men jumped. There was general rush
for the rear doors, which many reached
before the cars came together. They
leaped and escaped with only few
bruises.
Others on the two cars including al
most all the women, were on, the cars
when they smashed into each other.
Those who were in the jam around the
door were tossed on every side. Many
were thrown from the windows and the
others were tammed in a mass at the rear
end of the cars. The cars were tele-
scoped more than half their length. but
as the passengers were almost all in the
rear. none was caught in the telescoped
portion.

.FEUD OF FARMERS
.sf-s. y---.,S y . ss j e e1sssza.
This Has Resulted in Another
Shooting Saturday.

The feud that is said to have ex-
listed for years between John NC.
Lean and the William Metcalf fam
lily, fifteen miles west Of this city,
resulted last Saturday in another
shooting in northern Colorado.
Thomas Metcalf is in the Larimer
county jail, and it is said has con-
fessed to shooting John Mclean. a
neighbor of the Metcalfs. Mclean
had one side of his face completely
blown OFT with shotgun. Several
shots we're exhanged in the duel
which took place in the field.
The trouble right now was the re-
suit of dispute over some ditch
matters, but back of this is the quar-
re of many years standing.
Several lawsuits have been fought
out bewteen the two parties and
there has been at least one physical
encounter. Then there have been
charges of poisoning Of stock and
counter charges. On the evening OF
April 9 last year somebody shot sew
era rifle bullets through the Met
calf home while the family were
seated at supper. Nobody was In
jured, but it stirred up matters
again. One of the young men OF the
Metcalf family claimed to have seen
Nc Lean standing on knoll some
distance from the Metcalf house,
with a smoking rifle In his hands,
lust after the shots were fred. Nc
Lean was arrested but was acquitted
of the charge.
Until the shooting last Saturd day
nothing had been heard here OF the
progress Of thee feud. Mclean Is
an ex lawyer and claims to have
practiced law with Lincoln. He has
been living the life OF hermit here
for many years.

tofore the waste lime water has been
allowed to run into the river, but
Field Superintendent Timothy says
the company Is willing to donate it
to the farmers.
The plan Is to build a 5000
pumping plant and run the lime
water on the land late in November,
soaking the fields thoroughly, so that
water for the fields will not be again
needed until July.
At Eaton the lime water is run
into two large settling basins where
the lime settles and much of the
water runs of. Here is now depos-
tied 10, 900 tons of lime mud. 1t has
been necessary to clean these basins
many times the last six years because
no other use was made of the lime
than to build up tie banks of the
basin. Seven tons of lime mud will
fertilize an acre. At Windsor the
sugar company has demonstrated its
value.

Duel to Death.

Nature takers could find great
solace in a glimpse Of a group now
in the collection Of mounted birds
and animals in the Normal school
museum. The group is composed OF
a huge prairie hawk and blacksnake
three feet long, united in death now,
exactly as they we're found by Pro-
fessor K. A. Beardsley OF the NOR
NAL.
OF the fierce struggle and the
length OF the contest before both
succumbed to death, the nature
faker might have written columns
had the fight been witnessed, out
the nature Of the struggle only can
be surmised.
The snake had twined itself about
the body and neck OF the hawk ano
stranpled the great bird. with i's
diving strength the hawk had forced
one of It's sharp talons through the
head OF the serpent and In that con-
dition they we're found.

PEA VINE MEAL
This is the Latest Delicacy II
Stock Food.

The coming Of the Empson Pack
ing plant to this city will probably
open up still another industry and
add considerably to the value of the
pea crop to be raised here annually
for the factory. After much expert
menting, J. Fl. Empson, head of the
packing company, has developed .
method for grinding the pea vines
and making them into excellent
stock feed. This will mean thou
sands of dollars added value to the
crop. He has discovered that the
pea vines after the peas have been
threshed out, have just as much
nourishing value as has alfalfa, and
when ground into sort Of meal,
stock eat the vines eagerly. 1t has
also been proven that the feed is
especially valuable for dairy COWS.
A plant is to be established at
Longmont at once for the manufac-
ture of pea vine meal. The ma
chinerv has been ordered and will be
put in place in time to grind the
vines OF this years crop. This plant
will employ about 40 people and will
run the entire year, for when the
pea vines have all been converted
into this new kind of breakfast food
for stock, alfalfa will be utilized to
keep the plant In operation while
