YATES MAY RUN

Candidate Of the Illinois.
Lorimerites.

SPRINGFIELD, H., Aug. 22.-That
Former Governor Richard Yates of
this city may be elected by the Lori
mer people as their candidate for gov
ernor of Illinois is considered very
probable by we'll informed politicians
in this city 1t is understood that
the former governor is willing to try
conclusions again with Governor De
neen, toward whom he still has bit
ter feeling and who seems now the
probable candidate of the republican
organization. Former Governor Yates
has. 1t was stated by one close to
him. been receiving large number
of letters from all over the state urS-
ing him to be a candidate for COVER
nor He is absent from the city on
chautauaua speaking tour and no
statement could be cote from him,
but 1t is understood the situation has
been discussed with him by the Lori
mer leaders and that he will enter the
race. provided sufficient fund can
be put up for campaign expenses. Of
this there seems 10 be little doubt.
Governor Deneen, it appears, will
be a candidate for the nomination for
governor of the state organization and
the legislative "progressives." the
Governor doubtless would rather make
the race for United States senator
but the organization wants him tc
head the ticket. Senator Charles f
! Hurburgh of Galesburg, was talked
of as candidate, but he is averse te
/ running.

The belief that the two murderers OF
Marshal Butcher of this town, for
whom 500 farmers have been search
ing the river bottoms for five days,
were drowned in the Missouri river
Saturday night, is gaining ground
among the members of the posse. 1t
is believed that the men drowned
themselves rather than submit to ar
rest and almost certain lynching.
Early yesterday morning two pairs
of worn-out shoes were found on the

have been following. The men have
been without food for several days,
and in all probability their cartridges
had given out, as they had half doz-
en- skirmishes with the pursuers. Pa
trolls along the river bank are sure
| the murders did not escape by the
river. end the bloodhounds have been
unable to find the trail leading from
the shoes. Sheriff Rock is authority
for the statement that more than J..
600 armed men took part in the search

Despite the suicide theory, the
chase today continued with probab

along the river covered with thick un
derbr,lsh and weeds is being gon'

freight and passenger, are searched a

Sheriff Rock says the search vii

of the commission which will pass
on all questions involved in the
strike. The unions will name two

strike, caused mainly by the action
of some railways in assuring their
loyal employees that they would be
held in the positions of the strikers
to which they had been promoted
during the trouble, has been averted.
After a number of conferences with
officials of the board of trade, the
associated unions issued statement
last night to the effct that they had
received guarantees from the rail
way companies in regard to their
grievances, and that the settlement
agreed upon Saturday would be car
ried without delay.
The conference will be resumed
when it is hoped that the friction be-
/ tween the Northeastern railroad and
4 it's employees will be completed. The
( friction between the companies and
strikers was chiefly on the Midland
