BRYAN LOSES OPTION FIGHT
NEBRASKA DEMOCRATS REFUSE
TO ADOPT LEADERS, PLANK.
commoner's Battle Against Liquor
Vain, Despite Great Speech on
the Convention Floor.


Grand Island, Neb.-Nebraska Dem.
ocrats Tuesday night delivered blow
to William J. Bryan when by a de-
cisive vote they registered their un-
belief in his county local option plan.
Mr.. Bryan had labored hard in the
committee in an effort to have his
ideas written into the platform, and
after being defeated in the committee,
he appealed to the convention and in
this appeal made the speech of his
life to convention already instructed
against him.
He pleaded to his old friends,
begged them not to repudiate him un-
less they found him untrue to Demo
cratic principles; he threatened state
wide prohibition if county option was
defeated; he denounced those Demo
Gratis whom he charged with being
subservient to the liquor interests;
and he cajoled the uninstructed dele
gates to vote for him and his plans
And then standing aside he listened
to the most bitter words directed at
him that he has ever heard.
No attack made against Bryan by
Republicans or others, in any of his
campaigns, was ever SO bitter as we're
the attacks made by Bryan's old
friends against their old leader. AS a
member of the committee on resolu-
tions, Mr.. Bryan returned minority
report on the county option plank.
This minority report, signed only by
Bryan himself, was short and to the
point, saying simply: I'VE favor coun-
ty option as the best method of deal
ing with the liquor question"
1t was in defense of this report that
Mr.. Bryan made the speech which will
be called the greatest effort of his
life.
The sentiment towards Bryan was
shown when, for more than an hour,
the convention called upon different
leaders to address 1t, but not single
one was made for Mr.. Bryan. When
the final vote was taken, Bryan's
plank was turned down 645 to 1876
and a direct anti-county option plank
inserted.

SUICIDE IS HINTEO
VERDICT DECLARES IRA G. RAWN
WAS SLAIN BY OWN
REVOLVER.
ACCIDENT LESS PROBABLE"
Jury's Open Finding May Make 1t
Necessary for Heirs to Bring Suit
to Obtain Accident and Life
Insurance.

Chicago.-Ira G. Rawn killed him
self, according to the verdict returned
by the coroners jury Friday. The
Monon president was shot with his
own revolver, held in his own hand,
the verdict reads, but whether acci-
dentally or with suicidal intent is not
specified The jury said the former
explanation was the less probable.
The finding of the jurors is described
as IAN open suicide verdict"
The verdict was reached after a
three hours session and after much
lively debate in the jury room.
Although none of the jurors would
talk about their action, it was said
that three held out for verdict OF
suicide and the others for one of ac-
cidental shooting, and that the open
verdict returned was a compromise,
to break the deadlock.
The text of the verdict follows:
1--WE, the jurors, sworn upon oath to
inquire into the death of Ira G. Rawn
at his residence in Winnetka on the
morning OF July ~, find that ne came
to his death from shock and hemor-
rhage caused by wound made by a
bullet fired from his own revolver,
held in his own hand, but whether Il
was discharged accidentally or with
suicidal intent this jury is unable to
determine The location of the wound
and the type of revolver used render
the accident theory less probable"
That the insurance companies will
contest the payment of policies is said
to be assured, and it is declared that
relatives of the slain railroad presi-
dent will bring court proceedings to
collect the insurance.
No representative of the Rawn fam
lily was present when the tury's find.
ings were made public.
The general consensus Of opinion
among those present at the close of
the inquest was that the jury had
taken the only course open to it.

NEGRO KILLED BY OFFICERS.

Sioux Falls, S. D.-The shooting and
wounding of a policeman By a negro,
the wounding of a special officer and
the final killing of the negro by a we'll
directed shot from the revolver of an.
other policeman, were events which
kept the central part of this city in a
state of excitement. About a thou
sand men assisted in the search for
the negro after the trouble began,
many of them demanding that he be
lynched If caught. Pleading on the
part of the local officers and cooler
heads among the mob prevented ap
attack being made on the homes of
inoffensive negroes.
