Bryan had just one candidate-Bryan.
He fought Clark because Clark looked

But when Clark became really dangerous,

TRAIN MAKES DARING
DASH OVER BURNING
BRIDGE IN IOWA

Stanton. Iowa, July 6.-The Burling-
toms westbound fast mail train made
a spectacular dash across a burning
bridge one mile east of Stanton this
afternoon. The engineer took the
chance of going through the burning
bridge rather than permit his train to
be delayed.
The bridge, which spans a ravine
about so feet deep, took fire from
passing freight. Some time later the
fast mail came UP. The engine came
to a stop, and the crew went forward
to reconnoiter. The mail clerks. who
manned the eight postal cars of the
train. refused to run the gantlet. and
instead walked across.
When the train backed up II got a
good start and went across the bridge
at such a high speed that the paint on
the cars was not scorched. Trains ar

BOY Is POISONED
EATING ICE CREAM
This Time, However, an Impro.
vised Spoon Was the Cause
of It.

Henry Pratt, aged seven years. OF 3ei
L Street Southeast can bear witness to-
day to the fact that It is a dangerous
practice to improvise sticks found in the
street for ice cream spoons. Young Pratt
ate his ice cream cone yesterday after
noon with a stick which had evidently
been saturated with carbolic acid.
Henrys mamma gave him a nickel
about o'clock yesterday afternoon. for
being a good boy during the week. He
invested the coin in an ice cream cone.
Henry was not satisfied with the cone
he wanted a spoon.
Henry began to eat his ice cream with
his improvised spoon. and within a short
time his mouth began to burn. He hur-
ried home and told his mamma about It.
She looked at the stick and at once de-
tected the odor OF carbolic acid.
The mother took Henry to the Fifth
Precinct, Station. The police at the sta
tion had the youngster taken to the Cas-
ualty Hospital. His condition is not seri-

volved in words almost at once. Mr..
Hitchcock spoke very loudly and ex-
citedly, despite warnings by his wife and
the lawyer that every one could hear.

In the midst Of indignant denials by
Mr.. Mangasarian a young man pushed
through the group that gathered at the
suite entrance. He carried two suitcases.
Mr.. Hitchcock greeted his appearance with
a triumphant yell and indicated that this
was the Charlie he referred to.
Charlie seemed willing to mix right
In with anything the actor wanted to
start and Mr.. Mangasarian rushed out
for some Of the ships company. He
was hardly out Of the door before Hitch
cock and Charlie" started in and went
to a clinch at once and would have gone
further, but they were pulled apart.
An oficer Of the ship arrived following
Mr.. Mangasarian and things were quiet
except that Hitchcock was adding his de-
mands to those OF his lawyer that Miss
Zabelle sign the documents. She consent
ed with:
I'D sign most anything to ged rid Of
YOU"
While the paper signing was in progress
Charlie was busy explaining to the in
terested onlookers that his presence was
all an accident" Then he dropped out
Of sight, and as the bell sounded Hitch
cock and his lawyer raced for the last
gangplank.
heir instructions to the taxi driver were
to drive to the Lambs Club.
