HOT TIME IN WYOMING.
Chances for Republican Harmony Are
Slim at RawlinS.

Rawlins. Wyo., Sept. 15.-The Repub-
licans of Wyoming today began the
stormiest convention in the history of
the state The night and forenoon have
have been spent in fruitless caucusing
and at noon the delegates seemed no
nearer to an agreement either as TO
candidates for the important offices or
as to the platform than they were
when they arrived in Rawlins.
The revolt against the state machine
seems general yet every county has a
separate grievance and the opposition
seems unable to get together. Prac-
tically none of the delegates have
come instructed The denomination of
Governor Brooks seems probable, Null
len and Ridgeley being the leaders of
the opposition Patrick Sullivan and A.
r., Blume, former state senators, are
also in the field today, while William
Daley, president of the state sheep
herders' board, has supporters.
The resolutions committee will be
asked to endorse Ballinger and a hot
fight is certain. The insurgents ask
for only a mild approval of the Taft
administration. There is no particular
fight on the denomination of United
States Senator Clark The latter, Sen
ator Warren and Congressman Mon
dell are all in attendance.

The girl. who would not tell her name,
declared that she did not know where
Mrs. Flack had been prior to coming
here, but intimated she had been with
her husband. Mrs. Flack was unac-
companied in Topeka. the girl said.
when asked what light she could throw
|upon the defaulting cashier or upon
the travels of his wife since her de-
parture from Abilene.
That Mrs. F'lack is aware of her hus-
bands whereabouts seems altogethe-
probable from the girls statement
though she would not openly make
any declaration regarding either of
them. Her intimation that F1ack is
hiding in Kansas and that Mrs. Fla ok
has been with him was the only light
that she would throw upon the case.
Mrs. Flack didn't have much to say
about her husband" the girl continued.
neither did she talk to any extent of
her intentions. She said that she was
going back to Abilene. What We're heS
Intentions after her arrival there she
did not know. The situation is not
