carl Without Bond For Killing
Of Ben Craig at Logan.

Tucumcari, N. NJ, July 9.--Ben
Craig, the cowboy who was shot by

Home Sanitarium here yesterday.
At the preliminary hearing of Jack
Hittson here he was bound over to the
grand jury, bond being refused.
There is considerable feeling over
the matter among the cowboy COM
RAIDS of Craig. However, the evidence
is conflicting and it is hard matter
to get any definite statement as to
the actual cause of the shooting.
1t seems that there had been bad
blood between the two men, Hittson
claiming that Craig had been paying
improper attentions to his wife. They
met at Logan on the morning Of the
Fourth Of July, where they had gone
to celebrate.
Hittson was under the influence Of
liquor at the time, 1t is claimed, and
called to Craig as he was crossing the
street. Craig turned and walked to.
wards him, when Hittson pulled gun
and shot at him, the bullet entering
the abdomen. Hittson claims that
Craig started to pull his gun when he
shot.

Convention Hall, Denver, July o..
The Democratic national convention
resumed it's sessions at 1870 o'clock
this morning with another vast as
semblage present. The state delega-
tions were busy during the morning
hours making the final canvass for
the coming ballots on president and
vice-president The feature OF today's
session was the speech Of Permanent
Chairman Clayton, which was a Sc
we're arraignment of President Roose-
welt and was interrupted by frequent
demonstrations of wild enthusiasm.
Platform Practically Complete.
The platform is practically COM
plete and will be presented to the
convention later in the day. During
the morning John Mitchell, the labor
leader, appeared before the Alabama
delegation and formally declared he
would not be candidate for vice.
president. Ex-Governor David r.
Francis, of Missouri, and Governor
Douglas of Massachusetts. have also
declared they will not run.
The convention is likely to hold
night session if necessary for the
adoption of the platform and in all
likelihood the nomination of the
presidential standard bearer will also
take place tonight.
Delegates Slow in Arriving.
Yesterdays strenuous proceedings
at the afternoon session of the con-
vention and at the late session last
night had marked effect on the dele.
gates today and they were slow reach
ing their seats. This was particularly
noticeable in the delegations from
the larger states such as New York
Pennsylvania, Illinois and Ohio.
The Pennsylvania delegates had
planned to meet before the conven
tion met today to elect national com
mitteeman but this idea was aban
doned in favor of holding the cleo
tion after the delegates reached their
seats in the convention hall. This
was also abandoned and it was de
cided to hold a meeting Immediately
after the adjournment of THIS after
Moons session.

Convention Has no
Sympathy for Anti

Strength.

Denver, July 9.--When the Demo
cratic national convention at 1880
O'Clock last night adjourned until II
O'Clock this morning after an hour of
acrimonious debate over the report of
the committee on credentials, one
snag had been removed from the
channel through which the candidacy
|of William J. Bryan must pass on it's
way to the nomination for the presi-
dency of the United States. BY vote
of 615 to 3S7 the convention rejected
the minority report of the committee,
the practical effect of which was to

friendly to the interests of National
Committeeman Guffey of Pittsburg. In
addition the report added four to the
representation of Oklahoma and thus
four to the total strength of Bryan in
the convention.
Platform Committee Busy.
The work of the platform commit
tee was still unfinished when the
weary subcommittee having it in
charge went to bed close to midnight,
expecting to resume work at $50
O'Clock this morning.
The discussion of ce-presidential

Opposition Has Not Lost Hope.
Colonel Guffey who was the storm

floor of the convention, was early to

ants and wit hthe elements outside ol
the delegations who saw in last nights

not discuss the vote in detail, but

INJUNCTION AND RAILROAD
PLANkS AGREED UPON

That no injunction shall be issued
in labor disputes in cases where the
writ could not be employed in the alb.
sence of the existence of such a dis.
pute, IS the essence OF the injunction
provision which has been drawn up
by the subcommittee of three, con.
sisting of George F. Williams, of
Massachusetts,; Alton B. Parker, of
New York and Jerry Sullivan, of
Iowa. It will be presented to the full
committee today and is declared to be
entirely satisfactory except to the
railway trainmen's organization. The
plank further provides for jury trials
as to the facts in all cases of injunc-
ton. This plank is exactly what was
asked for by President Samuel Comp
ers, of the American Federation of
Labor, and is understood to have been
approved by him as drawn. Bryan was
telegraphed to last night in behalf of
the protesting railway men and told
tnaL Lne provision as drawn was I'M
practical and incapable of administra-
tion by any Judge. The injunction pro-
vision Is contained in what is known
as the labor plank of the national
platform. This plank also declares for
an eight-hOur day and for compre.
hensive employers liability act.
The injunction plank as finally
adopted omits the requirements of no.
tice before the institution Of injunc-
tion suits, the view of the sub-commit-
tee being that the necessity for no
tice is obviated by the provision that
labor disputes shall be treated in this
connection the same as other controv-
ersies. The plank as adopted provides
