ately hundred men were on their
feet William Jennings Bryan, back
ed by Senator Kern and host of
other progressive leaders, led the
fight on Parker.
The appearance Of Mr.. Bryan was
the signal for wild outburst of cheer
ing and the battle had to be halted
until the delegates and spectators
could be quieted.
After he had been cheered for sew
eral minutes, Mr.. Bryan finally Sc
cured quiet and began speaking, plac-

delegates rose, cheered and swung
their hats. Bryan spoke slowly. his
words being punctuated with cheers.

Bryan bitterly opposed Parker as
temporary chairman and said of the
Democratic party: you cannot
brighten 1t with your Ryans, or buy
1t with your Belmonts."
Then Senator Kern suggested the
names for temporary chairman of
O'Gorman, Culberson. Clayton of Ala
bama, Luke Lea of Tennessee or
Shively of Indiana.
Bryan, in a new speech, said he
would stand for any other man than
Parker, conservative or progressive.
He announced If Parker is temporary
chairman he himself will be a can
didate for the presidency. Wild cheer
ing greeted this remark.
The chairman ordered the roll call

ers, was elected temporary chairman

defeating William ]. Bryan, who was
| supported by Candidate Wilson and
| other progressives. The vote was 57S
to sos, there being four votes for
| Senator James A. O'Gorman Of New
York and five not voting.
While the roll call resulted in de-
feat for the Nebraskan, who consented
to be arcandidate for the position only
minute before the vote was ordered,

sentative forces at this time lack
many votes of having enough to name

prevails in Democratic conventions.

Mr.. Bryan announced he would con.

o'clock was put and carried.
The feature of the evening session
OF the convention was the speech OF
Alton B. Parker, as temporary chair
man. The crowds assembled slowly
and the convention was ahalf hour late
in getting down to business. Even
then the attendance of the public was
small, less than a fourth Of the gallery
space being filled.
William J. Bryan did not attend. He
had an engagement to attend a
fraternal gathering and some work
with the resolutions subcommittee.
Judge Parker was chsered mildly as
he assembled the platform from which
he was to address the convention.
Later, on being introduced, he was
greeted with an enthusiastic demon
stration. This was increased and the
convention showed a growing friend
ly feeling for the temporary presiding
officer when he complimented Mr..
Bryan, asked the indulgence OF the
convention for his late adversary and
urged the convention to honor Mr..
Bryan with the Craftsmanship of the

KILLED BY LIGHTNING
is THE CORoNER'S VERDICT

Late yesterday evening Coroner
Hood, Sheriff McCleur, C. o. o'Dris-
coll, German Barala and sons and C,
Martinez returned from Salt creek,
near the head of the Hermosa, where
they went to investigate the cause of
the death of Redingo Barala and bring
his remains to Durango.
The coroner's verdict is killed by
lightning.
The rmeains were found under a
tree that had been shattered by light
ming and his body gave unmistak-
able evidence that he had been
struck by the same stroke while he
was seated on projecting root of the
tree, studying. On either side were
found portions of the book, Spanish
grammar.
After careful examination the rela-
tices and ellow-countrymen of the de-
ceased are satisfied that the coroner's s
verdict is correct.
The body was placed on horseback
and carried over what is known as the
Hermosa trail. The party reached the
city with it late last evening.
This morning the relatives, German
Barala, father and his sons, left for
lower La Plata with the remains,
where interment will take place.

Clark says that Bryan was most
unfair in his insinuations that he was
playing with Tammany for the New
York vote. He insists that it was un-
derhanded methods Of Bryan that de-
feated him at Baltimore. AS a conse-
quence Of that little program on the
part of the Commoner Wilson will lose
great many votes in the western
states. The western Democrats were
worshippers Of Champ Clark and con
sidered him the greatest Democrat
in the whole country. Many are de
claring that they will never support
Wilson under the circumstances and
are willing to bet that Taft will be
the next president Of the United
States. This mixup at Baltimore was
very unfortunate for the Democratic
party since 1t was the boast Of the
party during the Chicago convention
that the Democrats would go into the
campaign with united front against
divided party. They were sure that
Clark would be the nominee.
