animal out of the city with him. The
request was finally granted and the
police went down Tuesday evening and
produced the dog for him. Late Tues

Il regard the case now being tried

sion relative to the general proposition
as to whether the railroads are entitled
to more money as of tremendous i'm
portance to the entire transmississippi

commission should approve the rates
which have now been published and
suspended, it will not only enormously
increase the burdens of the consuming
public but will, l am afraid, establish

advances, the amount of which is ut

SHAFROTH NOMINATED.
And His Action in Calling a Special
Session Is Approved.

Denver, Sept. 15.-Governor John
A. Shafroth was renominated by a
close margin on the first ballot by the
Democratic convention.
Justice Robert w. Steele of Denver
was renominated unanimously for JUS
tice of the state supreme court and
Congressman E. E. Taylor of Glen
wood Springs was nominated for con-
gresham at large.
Pledges of radical legislation con-
tanned in the state platform of 1908,
for the redemption of which the leg
iSlature was summoned to sit in extra
ordinary session by Governor Shafroth
last month and the greater part of
which the legislature is still consider
ing are reaffirmed in the platform to
be voted upon by the convention today.
There is practically no doubt that
the platform recommended by the
resolution committee will be adopted.
The platform, as framed by the COM
mittee, approves the action of Cover
nor Shafroth in calling the extra ses-
sion of the legislature, commends that
body for having submitted to the peO-
pie a constitutional amendment for
initiative and referendum and calls
upon the legislators to enact at this
session the remaining platform
pledges" namely, the direct primary,
the headIess ballot the bank guaranty
and a railroad commission law.
United States Senator Simon Gug-
genheim, Republican, comes in for a
bitter denunciation. After commend
ing the Colorado delegates in both
branches of congress the platform calls
attention to "the marked contrast be-
tween their records and that of the
senior senator, Guggenheim, who in
state affairs committed the theft of his
own political organization and in ma
tional concerns has voted to rob the
people in order to enrich the corpora

Abilene, Kan, Sept. 15.-Pinkerton

of the Abilene State bank. The agency
believes that he can be caught in ten
days. Governor Stubs has offered a

Texas land deal, is short $4,000. John
Frazier, who turned over $4,000, the
sum of an estate for which he was adj
ministrator, has no record of the trans
action. The bank is not responsible
for most of these losses. Indications
are that this class of losses will reach
81 900. Flack was clerk for farm sales
Band frequently some farmer finds that
his sale brought several hundred dol
lars more than Flack reported. Flack' s
total shortage to the community may
reach $4,000.
The will of l. s.. Hallam was opened
yesterday and it makes Flack and the
Rev. Mr.. Blayney the administrators.
Another man will be named in F1ack' s
place. Flack's knowledge of his posi-
ton under the will makes it probable
that he hoped to remain undiscovered
until after the president died, when he
would have a chance at the estate. The
will provides that there shall be an in
come for the wife and daughter dur
ing their life and then the income shall
go to the education of young men.
