Obligated Delegates
Ono of the most particular of. the Ave
conventions was that of the SEVENTEEN,
where Justice j. c. Steele of santa
Monica was chairman and C. H. Thom-
as. also of Santa Monica, was secre-

bers and they required all men pro-
posed for delegate to Fresno to stand
before them and pledge himself to at
tend the convention in person, to not
give his proxy to any one and to vote
for Bryan first, last and all the time
The obligation of the delegates was a
matter of some ceremony, as the con-
vention was In earnest and wanted only
men who would attend and would vote
for the Commoner.
In the Sixty-ninth Frank Hilton OF
Alhambra presided and l.. w. Payne
of Long Beach was secretary. This
convention enthusiastically declared
for Bryan.
In the Sixty-seventh e. d. Goode OF
Glendale presided, and Bryan was In
dorsed. In the Sixty-eighth end Sew
enty-fourth Bryan was also indorsed.
The Bryan Endorsements were all
made. 1t had been the purpose of Ma
than Coles friends to ask his indorse-
ment. but this was not attempted.

PROTOTYPE OF OPPER'S MULE, MAUD"
HAS EXCITING TWO DAYS In SALT LAKE

The proprietors of the Eclipse livery
stable at 165 South State street heav,d
sigh of relief last night when the mule
known as Maud, who exhibits all the viO-
lent and unmanageable characteristics
shown by her namesake made famous by
Cartoonist f. c. Upper, was led away
from the stable by her owner, Deputy
Sheriff w. +. Reed.
Maud had a most exciting two days
visit to the city, and will probably be the
cause of the return of Hyrum Smith. d
convict, who is now out on parole, to the
penitentiary.
Thursday night T. E. Gowans. half
brother of Judge Gowans of the juvenile
court. arrived in the city from Mr.. Reed 5
ranch near Garfield in close connection
with Maud, another mule named Milly
and a load of grain, which he left at its
destination on Fourteenth South street.
Having relieved his mind, and the wagon
of the grain, young Gowans, who is about
% years of age, proceeded to celebrate the
arrival OF the pioneers in Salt Lake val
ley. The scene of the celebration was
Commercial street, and Gowans took
Maud along to share his joys and sor-
rows and. incidentally, to aid in carrying
the package which he had acquired.
While in a Commercial street resort he
entered into conversation with Hyrum
Smith, out upon parole Smith asked to
be allowed to ride the mule and GowanS.
being in a condition when all men are
brothers, readily gave his consent.
Smith returned no more. but Yesterday

sHOPL|FTER IS DEFIANT
Caught in the Act of Stealing Shirt
waist, Woman Is Immune
From Arrest.

The shoplifter is flourishing again de-
spite the hot weather and the apparent
Inconvenience of abstracting goods on
the ouiet. At one of the very busy hours
Of Yesterday afternoon woman STOOD
beside a table, on which were displayed
waists of all kinds for sale
She chatted pleasantly with an &C
ouaintance as she handled the articles
and quietly opened her capacious nand-
bag, and hurriedly stuffed one OF the
waists into it. Just at the moment that
il was disappearing the clerk, young
and inexperienced girl, saw the action
and without more ado grasped the wais'
and pulled il out.
The would-be wearer OF the walsl
storned around about being insulted ano
having plenty of money with which &c
buy her clothing, etc, etc, but the CLERK
had the waist to show for her pains
Nothing could be done about the mat
ter. except to let the woman go.
Shopkeepers say that they absolutely nc
redress in these affairs no matter now
flaerant the case is. The law holds-ol
held in a test case some time ago-tha1
unless the person guilty Oh larceny has
reached the street with tle goods the
clerk can do nothing in the matter OF
arrest This makes it practically impos
sible for any case to be brought to trial
as no clerk can follow and arrest a per
son on the street. This ruling was evil
IDENTIFY familiar to the woman in yester
days case. as she virtually defied thu
manager of the shop and all the clerk:
70 do anything about the matter.

According TO the telegram received

Little Blanch Mortier. nine years

the child concerning the address of her
father, the police lacked the courage to

afternoon two men led the reluctant
Maud to the police station and informed
the police that Smith had attempted to
pawn the mule with them for the paltry
sum of 81. and that they, being sus-
picious, had decided to bring the mule to
the station. Maud was then removed to
the Eclipse stables. where she ran over
a colored stable hand, severely kicked
two inoffensive horses and partially d.
stroyed the stall in which she was con-
fined. She was removed by Mr. Reed
and started back to Garfield with her
mate. the wagon and the repentant Cow
ans about o'clock last night.
The police are still hunting for Smith.

horse and buggy from in front of the
Wilson hotel on Nov. Z, 1907. They were
sentenced to eighteen months in the
states prison, but were both released on
parole The conviction was secured by
Detective Fred Schultz. who absolutely
identified the men.
