But little real progress toward a nomination has been made at the republican national convention up to the time The News went to press. Owing to the action of the national committee, aided by finely oiled steam roller, the Taft forces appar- ently are in almost complete con trol of the convention.
 The Roosevelt forces are contest ing every inch of ground with the Taft supporters, and it is by nc means certain that the machine or ganization can carry out it's framed up program.
 Threats of bolt are coming in thick and fast, but it is predicted that at the last moment the cooler heads of the party will get together and agree upon a compromise ean- didate acceptable 10 both factions Ex-Governor Hadley of Missouri and Senator Cummings of Iowa are prominently mentioned, and would be acceptable candidates to the rank and file of the party.

A Deplorable Accident

Ed Lindstrom, residing near Davenport lake, about six miles east of town, met with frightful accident Thursday morning. He was digging post holes on his home stead and was using dynamite. There was a premature explosion of the dynamite, which blew off his left hand and he may lose the sight of both eyes, as both eyeballs were bursted, but it will be some time before the full extent of his injur- ies can be determined. He was un- able to tell just how the accident occurred.
 Lindstrom was brought to town as soon as possible and Dr. Melick did all in his power to relieve his intense suffering. The hand was amputated at the wrist and his other wounds about the head and face carefully dressed. He was taken to the hospital at Flagstaff on No. 10 in the evening.

WILLIAMS-FLACSTAFF
 GAME A GOOD ONE

Williams met Flagstaff on the local field Sunday, and the bet ter team won by the one-sided score of 10 to 2. The home team put up brilliant game, and although the visitors also put up stiff game they were never dangerous. Pitcher Young seemed to have their goat all the way, striking out no less than ten of their strongest batsmen. The Williams aggregation fielded in whirlwind style, batted the ball at will and ran the bases wildly. breaking up the plays of the Flag staff marvels.
 Quite a crowd was out to view the massacree of the innocents, wild with delight over the gorry specta- cle; but after the game was over forgot their glee and gathered at the depot to send the defeated Flag staffans home with a yell.
 Everything considered, the game was the best so far played at Will jams this season, and the most cor. dial feeling existed between the visitors and the local enthusiasts
 Next Sunday Williams goes to Winslow for a game, and tits hoped a-crowd will accompany the team A reduced rate has been secured for the occasion.

Highly Magnifed By the
Newspapers
ATTENDED THE SNEED TRIAL

Their Guns on the
Outside.

berjacks could clean up the entire
bunch of revolutionists who are MAX
ing all the trouble along the Mexi-
can border" said O. Il. Bailey today.

guns. He said that $4,000, 900 was
sent by telegraph from different
points in Texas to Sneed for use as
bail. \ local paper at that time
published the following as quoting
the trial Judge:
Il do not believe that anybody
would come into this court room
armed as it is strictly against the
rules OF this court, but | will say now
that if anybody on either side is
found armed in the court room he
will be sent to jail
1T will be some ten minutes before
the case is taken up, so everybody
will have decent chance to ease out
of the court room without going out
for the specific purpose Of disarming
himself"
Speaking Of Governor Hunt, Of Ar
iona, Mr.. Bailey said: "On the day
of the inauguration, Hunt walked
from his hotel to the capitol to EMU
late the example of Thomas Jeffer-
son. He was dressed in $l2 or SIS
suit In the evening he appeared at
a reception in 500 dress suit
During the exercises he read speech
written by some one else in which he
failed to pronounce about twenty
words properly. He refused to sit in
a grand stand erected by the people
because union labor was not en-
ployed"
Mr.. Bailey said that political SEN
timent in the south was strong for
Taft among the business men and for
Roosevelt among the women and la
boring classes.
