chairman, and A. j. Peck was chosen
as secretary. Neither of the gentle
men had any opposition for the Of
fees.
Chairman Kluge at once took up
the order of business.
The call for the convention was
read.
The call of precincts was made,
and only three official representa-
tions were missing.
On motion. Chairman Kluge ap-
pointed a commluee of three on Gre
dent:als. This committee consisted
of Prof. j. w. Thompson of Palisade.
I. N. Bunting of Grand junction and
James B. Hunter of Fruita.
A brief recess was then taken
while the committee on. credentials
went over the credentials of the var
ious precinct delegations.
There were no contests, and the
committee on credentials declared
all delegations present regular, and
the report was adopted by a unani-
nous vote.
On motion. the chair was author
lied to appoint committee on per-
manent organization. Judge l.. X.
Byers of Grand junction, S. A. d.
Shiver of Clifton and A. j. Sanders
of Mesa were appointed. The COM
mittee reported that the temporary
organization should be made perma-
nent. and that A. ID. Sharp of Frulta
be made assistant secretary. This re-
port was unanimously adopted.
Chairman II. w. Kluse, on the ac-
ceptance of this report, made few
remarks that created much enthusi-
asm. He declared that there is more
enthusiasm for the cause of democ-
racy this year than for many years.
1t seems to be in the air that this
is the year for democratic victories
all down the line. He declared that

The daily sentinel., 1908-06-06

From every section of Mesa coun-
ty members of the democratic party,
followers of the great commoner,
came to town this morning and this
afternoon, and when County Chair
man Wtlliam Weiser called the con-
vention to order a few minutes past
2 pm. the City hall was crowded to
overlooking and only three out of
the total of 10 voting precincts in
Mesa county were without official
representation, these three being Lo-
ma. Hannah Creek and Collbran, the
three. precincts farthest removed
from the city. =
OF the more than 100 delegates
who were elected to the convention,
at least 80 were present. Indeed, a
splendid official representation. Be
sides the delegates, there were a
great number of other democrats in
attendance. At least 200 people had
crowded into the City hall, and many
who desired to do so were unable
to gain admittance to the council
chamber where the session was held.
Over the chairman's s seat was sus-
pended an immense picture of Will
liam Jennings Bryan, draped with an
American flag.
Chairman Weiser opened the con-
vention with a few brief remarks,
and stated that, in view of the fact
that there was some misunderstand-
ing as to whether OF not the regular
county chairman should preside at
this convention, he would ask the
county central committee to name a
temporary chairman.
l. N. Bunting remarked that, if
the regular chairIn..a preferred tn ait
a temporary chairman should be
elscted, then he thought it would
be more democratic for the conven-
ton, instead of the central commit-
tee to name the chairman. This met
with general favor, and a motion was
then made and passed that the con-
vention should name its temporary
officers.
BY unanimous vote. II. w. Kluge
of Palisade was elected temporary

IKE Cooley" Famlar Figure, Struck
By East Bound Train To-day.

Ike Cooley" familiar figure
around Durham, having spent
most of his live here, was killed
by Southern Eastbound passenger
train due here at lbs, to-day.
Just how the accident occurred
can only be accounted for as no
one saw the occurrence, but as
Mr.. Cooley was a little deaf, it
is supposed he did nothear the
train at all and walked in front
of it. The force of the moving
engine knocked him entirely free
of the track so that the cars did
not hit his body in passing. The
engineer stopped his train as
quickly as possible and returned
to the place where lay the corpse
ofthe man that only afewminutes
had walked across the track and
found that the force Of the blow
had knocked him about Is or 20
feet from the place it struck him.
The remains were carried to
the notwithstanding Establish
ment of J. S. Hall & Co.. and
prepared for burial. I'D
Ike Cooley was about So years
of age. He had lived in Durham
for many years, coming here
from Wake county, where he
was deputy sheriff for a number
of years. He wastwice married,
his second wife, who was Miss
isis" High, of this county, sur
viving him. He left but one
child, a daughter, who married
Berry Jones several years ago,
and lived with her father and
mother. He has one brother and
three sisters, besides there is a
number of other relatives.
After being prepared for bur-
ial at the undertaking establish
ment, the body was taken to the
home in the western part Of the
city, and the burial will be from
there. The hour for the funeral
has not been arranged up to this
time, but it will be some time to-
morrow afternoon. The burial
will be at Maplewood.

The July permits show that
about $4,000 worth Of building
was done in the city during that
month.
The new electric theatre, the
Edisonia, has been giving very
pleasing performances to the
public. On Saturday, when the
proceeds went to the chimes fund,
they had an excellent day of bust
ness.
The name that has been given
to the new colored drug store on
Parrish street is a good one for
such a place. 1t is known as the
Bull City Drug Store, !" which
has recently been engraved up
on the large plate window of this
establishment.
The excursion to Wilmington
that left yesterday morning car
ried a goodly number of people
to that delightful place. Mr.. S.
II. Reams stated to the reporter
for this paper that he also ex-
pected to pick up a good many
more all along the road. Those
who took advantage of this fine
opportunity to visit the beach,
we are sure will have no cause
to regret going.
The Electric Theatre, just OPP
posite the city P. o., has adopt
ed a very unique scheme in the
way of advertising. At the front
of the room, where the pictures
are exhibited, they have divided
the wall into twelve squares and
on these are attractive advertise
ments of different firms. This
strikes US as possibly a good
thing, because the many people
going in to enjoy the moving pic
lures are bonnd to see the ads.
About the worst fault to be
found with a circus coming to
town is that it takes away the
cash from the merchants. Every
body, or rather the working
classes and children begins to
think and dream about that great
day, when the circus is coming
and consequently they try to
have as much money on hand as
possible, in order that they may
enjoy it to the fullest extent
The merchants will agree with
us that there is come truth In
this.
In to-day's paper we have {
large advertisement of John Rob
inson's circus, which will appear
in Durham on the Goth of thi.
month. This is by far the larg
est show that comes this way
and almost every one in this sect
ion of the county knows what Il
expect when he goes to see thi.
circus. They are in excellent
shape, and will be sure to enter
tain you If you go. The show
carries more thoroughbred horse:
and other animals than almost
any other now in existence.
