REPUBLICANS
HOLD STATE
CONVENTION

Des Moines. Ia, March f7-Dele-
gates and visitors to the Republican
State convention are already arriving
in the city In considerable number.
The attendance of visitors promises
to be unusually large. A gathering
of the Republicans Of Iowa almost
always means an interesting political
contest, and the state convention to-
morrow will certainly prove no ex-
ception to the rule.
Politics in the Hawkeye state this
year will reach the boiling point. In
addition to the contests incident to
the presidential election this fall the
state Is to choose governor and
other state officials and Legislature
hat will have the choice Of a United
States senator to succeed the vener-
able Allison. Under anything like
normal conditions Iowa Is anchored
safely In the Republican column and
naturally the political wheel whiris
most intensely about the Republican
party. The bitter fight between the
progressive" and "stand- pat" fac
tions Of tile Republicans has aroused
feeling Of hope in the Democratic
breasts. which tends to further en-
liven the political situation.
The convention tomorrow will
choose delegates large to the Re-
publican national convention. In
June a second convention will be
held at Waterloo to select state tick
ct. The rivalry of thestwo factions.
has become so acute, however, that
the senatorial and gubernatoriai con-
tests will figure in no small degree in
the proceedings tomorrow. Already
the hotel lobbies are filled with the
party leaders from over the state and
a strenuous buttonhole campaign is
being pursued in the interests Of one
or the other Of the factions.
Iowa is practically conceded to
Taft. because the Republican leaders
of both factions. or large majority
Of them at least, have indorsed his
candidacy. The 80 called progressive
element hastened to announce them
selves for the secretary Of war in or
der to head Off the Shaw boom, while
most of the ''stand-pat' leaders have
been favorably inclined towards the
Taft candidacy from the start.
The main contest now seems to be
which faction will control the Taft
delegation to Chicago The senator
ial issue between Cummins and AL.
lison is not involved, but the two
factions are fighting for the control
Of the convention, believing the out
come may have an important bear
ing upon the senatorial primaries to
be held In June. The state conven-
tion will be composed of l,ls3 dele
gates. OF which number the Allison
forces today claim to have a clear
majority. The division is even
enough, however, to assure lively
contest on the convention floor. At
torney General II. W. Byers. as tenn.
porary chairman. will call the con-
vention to order at IL O'Clock to-
morrow morning.

ing has been done and with favorable

the planting in ground.

Wilson will on Tuesday announce his de-
cision on the applications for pardons for
Caleb Powers and James Howard charged
with completely in the assassination of
William Goebel. Governor Wilson has
refrained from any expression calculated
to give the slightest indication as to what
his decision will be, but there is a per-
sistent rumor, which is not questioned
even by the most ardent supporters of the
prosecution, that the two principal defend
ants thus far tried in this famous case
will be set at liberty. Governor Wilson
has been reading the records and Weighing
the evidence in the trials for over three
weeks incidentally. carloads of petitions
for the release of the two men containing
a million and a quarter of names have
poured in from every part of the country,
with a goodly representation from Europe
and a small number from Africa and Aus
trala.
Powers and Howard were convicted of the
murder of Governor William Goebel, who
was killed by a shot fired from the state
house during a strenuous political contest
Howar5 was convicted several years ago
and Powers, has been tried several times,
being convicted each time but the last,
when the jury disagreed.

Emile NaeEiI Of Brock Killed by His
HrOther-in- Law.

AUBURN. Neb. April 4.-Luther Hutton
shot and instantly killed Emile Megot,
about two miles south of Brock in this
county. andabout ten miles northwest of
this place yesterday evening. Ostln
Owings a neighbor, witnessed the shoot
ing. Hutton and the deceased lived about
a quarter OF a mile apart and were
brothers-in-law. Hutton having about a
year ago married Megots sister. Megot
objected to the marriage on the ground
that he wanted his sister to keep house
for him. and has frequently, 1t Is alleged,
threatened to kill Hutton. Yesterday even
ing Megot went to the house of his brother.
where Hutton lived. to get some corn, and
while he was at the crib loading up the
corn Hutton went out in the yard, and the
deceased commenced to swear at him and
to pick a quarrel. which Hutton it is said,
tried to avoid. but which resulted In an
assault by Megot on Hutton. Hutton hit
Megot twice with his fist which stopped
him. Megot then jumped into his wagon
swearing that he was going home to get
his shot gun and would return and kill
Hutton.
Mcgots brother went out and tried to
persuade him not to carry out his threat
and Mr.. Owings got into the wagon and
rode with the deceased for quite distance
trying to disuade him but to no purpose,
and when Owings parted with him he
ayowed his purpose OF returning Immediate
iy and blowing Hutton's head off. Hut
ton then telephoned to County Attorney
Lambert telling him about the threats and
asking advice. On advice he tried to tele-
phone to the constable at Brock, and also
telephoned TO neighbors for assistance
but before any assistance could be obtained
Megot returned with his double barrelled
shot gun When. he got within twenty
steps Of tlie4kollse Hutton stepped out With
his gun in position to shoot and ordered
Megot to stop, Immediately Megot raised
his gun to shoot, -at which instant Hutton
fired. killing him.
The sheriff and coroner were Immediately
notified by Ownings and went to the scene
of the tragedy. They found Megot's gun
at his feet with both barrels cooked and
loaded with No. shot and seven like shells
in his pocket.
Megot, for years, has generally been re-
garded mentally unsound. He had an un-
governable temper, and frequently beat his
mother and other members of the family.
and about two years ago was bound over
to keep the peace, and in default of bond
remained in Jail for quite awhile Several
years ago he was sent TO the asylum, but
the authorities there only kept him for a
short time. lie was sent on account OF
his acts in beating his father. This was
one OF those peculiar cases where treat
ment did no good and where he was not
demented enough for confinement, but who
when aroused and angry was violent and
dangerous, and become angry on little or
no provication. He was single and about
40 years old.
The coroner's jury returned a verdict
that deceased came to his death by reason
Of a gun shot wound at the hands of
Luther Hutton, who shot in self defense,
and was justified in doing so under the
circumstances.
