Disso--TimeIy Assistance Alone
Saved His Life.

The timely assistance of J. F.
White, trainer of race horses at the
county fair grounds, is all that saved
the life of John Disso, last Friday
Disso works for White. He went in
the stable with a vicious stallion own
ed at Clare and attempted TO put a
bride on him. The stallion grabbed
Disso by the right arm, sending two
of his teeth through part of the arm
and decorating the arm with his other
teeth. He then threw Disso against
the side of the manger and attempted
to get on him with his feet or knees
Fooled in this because OF the manger
still holding him in his teeth, he lifted
him again, when Whites attention
was attracted by the noise. He rush
ed in and kicked the brute in the nose
with such stunning force that he lei
go. DR.. l. N Monfort was called and
sewed up the wound.

WHAT TAFT MEN FEAR.
Nomination of Gov. johnson Would
Make His Election Uneerinin.
(From the Brooklyn Eagle.)

tfrOm JHe Brooklyn Eagle
The progress of the anti-Bryan cam
paign is being watched by the TAFT
with almost as keen an in
terest as by the friends of Bryan him
self. The Taft managers realize that
the crift of Democratic gossip may
have a big influence on the action OF
the Chicago Convention.
% The general feeling of Republicans
is that Taft can beat Bryan. They are
not so confident OF his ability to win
against Johnson. II is recognized that
the nomination of Johnson would fur
nish an opportunity for great senti-
mental campaign.
Johnson's humble parentage, his hard
struggle for an education, and his rise
to a position of honor and influence
would make a background for a spec
tacular campaign of kind the country
has not had since Garfield ran in 1880.
The Minnesota Governor Is fine talk
er, and has a faculty of creating enthu-
siasm among the masses. The fact that
he would be acceptable to the Demo-
Gratis of the East would make him a
most formidable candidate.
The inside talk among the Repub-
licans of prominence is along this line:
IF the Democrats Will only nominate
Bryan, it Will not make much differ
ence what we do at Chicago. The ac-
ton OF the New York Democrats indi-
Gated that the party in the East will
never be reconeiled to Bryan. No doubt
he would prove stronger in some of the
Central States than in 1896 or in 1900,
but if the East is TO fight him as vigor-
ously as it did in those years he will
go down to defeat.
What we fear is that the Democrats
may, by chance, nominate a man who
will be strong in the States of New
York. New Jersey and Maryland, and
at the same time be satisfactory to the
Democrats of the rest of the country.
We all know Maryland will give its
electoral vote to any Democrat that is
satisfactory 80 the party in that State.
New York would certainly be dehatable
ground il the Democrats should put up
a candidate that appealed to the party
there. and the same is true of New
Jersey. Under these circumstances We
cannot hope for better outcome at
Denver than the nomination of Bryan.
