Huntsville. Mo, June %. - Thomas J. Bagby, twenty years old. was shot and instantly killed near here when, like Romeo of old. he chung to a rope ladder and talked to his sweetheart, Nellie Carter, seventeen years old. the daughter of well to do farmer
 F. J. Carter. Jr., the. girls brother, is held pending the coroner's inquest, Young Carter admits the shooting. but declares he thought Bagby a burglar and did not know he had killed his sis ters suitor until he struck light and looked at the dead youths face.
 The Carters and the Bagbys are neighbors and live five miles south of Huntsville. Both families are prom inent and were friendly until young Bagby began to pay attentions to his neighbor's pretty daughter about six months ago. Her brother opposed the match. and Bagby was forbidden to see her or enter the Carter premises.
 He heard from the girl through friends. and they arranged meeting he to call at her window after the family had retired. Bagby signalled to the girl and had just mounted the ladder when her brother was awaken. ed by the scraping of Bagby's feet against the weatherboards of the house The shooting followed.

 Denver, June 29.-With the election of Theodore A. Bell as temporary chairman of the Democratic national convention. which will begin here July [, the real work of preparing for the convention began. While no state no candidates headquarters have beer. delegates, of course, are here yet and opened, the city holds sufficient num- Der of the advance guard of the con- vention to keep alive discussion of can didates and issues.
 As in the closing days of the Chica- 20 convention, the most eagerly de bated question here at present is the nomination for the vice presidency It seems almost as if every hour de velops new boom, hitherto unheard Of.
 The present prospects are that there will be no dearth of candidates for the vice presidential nomination. Some of the names now heard are those of men who have said they do not desire
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1908-06-29

but the promised struggle did not ma. terialize, and the wishes of Mir Bryan regarding szc. Bell were carried out without a sign or sound of dissent. This fact was taken by the Bryan men to mean that all opposition to the wishes of their leader had disappeared or at least will be only of compara' lively slight influence throughout the convention.
 Clayton For Permanent Chairman.
 They are now counting confidently on the selection of Henry D. Clayton of Alabama for permanent chairman, saying that it will be brought about as easily and with no more opposition than was that of Mir. Bell.
 No particular opposition has been made to Mir Clayton, and there are no present signs of any fight against him. Other names have been mentioned, but ! none from the south save that of Sen ator Joseph W. Bailey of Texas, and it seems to be practically certain that he
 will not be able to attend the conven. | ton because of i'll health. It Is known that Mir Bryan desires permanent chairman from the south, and the Bry. an men believe that with Senator Bailey eliminated no other man than Clayton will be considered.
 i Appointments to other places made by the committee on convention ar l arrangements and which will probably
 be made permanent were as follows; i General secretary Urey Woodson of ] Kentucky; assistant general secretary, 1 Edwin Sefton of Washington; ser
