1t never can be said truthfully aSain
that Rutland is devoid of enthusiasm.
The demonstration given DR.. Mead up
on his arrival from Montpelier will be
long remembered for its size and spon-
taneity. Rutland was quivering with
excitement when the special train rolled
in, the business section of the city was
ablaze with red fire, and the noisy wei
come extended to the successful candi
date was notable testimonial of the
spirit which cements the ties of friend
ship with those of genuine public spirit.
After the protracted struggle at Mont
pelier, in which there was so much bit
terness manifested, it was like balm to a
pleased but wounded soul to meet the
cheering hordes of his fellow-townsmen,
united in this great outburst of general
satisfaction over the fact that Rutland's
candidate had won his difficult fight and
that this city is to be the home of Yer
monts next governor.-Rutland Herald

No Retrogression.

Ia one of the seconding speeches in
opposition to DIR. Mead, the delegate
expressed himself as discouraged "that
Vermont was on the retrograde for men,"
Thereupun Mr.. Dale took the floor aud
in brief, animated speech that reused
the enthusiasm of the convention Sec
onded the nomination of DIR. Mead.
With MUCH spirit he refuted the state
meut that Vermont was on the retro
grade for men, and called attention to
the best proof that she possessed the
highest grade of men in the fact that at
the close of so long aud persistent con-
test one element in the convention was
led by a gentleman of such high order
that his opponents would speak no i'll OF
him, and the other presented as its can
didate one who had risen to a distin-
guished position as financier, soldier and
statesman, and had always conducted
himself with such integrity as to plact
him beyond attack save by insinuatior
and sarcasm.

COWBOY AND HORSE
KILLED IN STORM
Both Struck by Lightning on
Ranch Near Stratford,
Texas.

STAFFORD. Texas, Aug. S.-During
the rain and severe electrical storm
here, a man named Stewart, who was
working as a cowboy on the ranch Of
Andy James, few miles west of town,
was struck by lightning, and both he
and the horse he was riding were in
stantly killed
Stewart and two other cowboys were
herding cattle belonging to James, when
the accident happened
A large number of cattle were killed
in the same way, and another one of the
hands knocked off his horse by the
shock, though he was not seriously in
jured.
The body OF the dead man was terri
bly, disfigured and lacerated where the
lightning struck him. There were large
zig-zag marks and cuts on his face and
down the entire length of his body
where the bolt struck him. The re-
mains were taken to Dalhart, and from
there to east Texas, the dead mans

BOY is KILLED BY
CANANEA TRAIN
Engineer Released But Con
ductOr Is Held in MeXi-
can Jail.

Cananea, Mex, Aug. S.-While at
tempting TO hop a moving train which
was coming from the ball game. near
Ponquillo, Glstavo Granite, s years old,
was thrown under the train and his
body was cut in two just below the ribs.
Death was instantaneous, two cars and
the engine passing over him.
The authorities arrested the train and
the crew, but later in the evening engi-
neer James GunnOude was released, but
conductor Joseph Corrigan was held and
is now confined in the local Jail.
Several claim that COrTigan had made
a move to chase the boy off the train
and that the child let go and fell to his
death 1t is on account of this that he is
being held. Other eye witnesses, however,
did not see anything of this nature, and
state that the boy was running alongside
the train and had grabbed projecting
iron with his left hand. As he ran with
the train he stumbled over tie and he
was dragged for short distance, when
he let 90 his hold.
The boy was thrown violently TO the
ground outside the rails, but ne bounded
back across the tracks and the rear
trucks of the second car struck him.
The boys father is employed at the
boiler shops of the Four Cs company.
