garding the murderous assault made
upon him and it is thought that he
will have no hand in pushing the
prosecution of Dunn.
Dunn Is still in the county jail and
his leg, where he shot himself in the
struggle with Mr. Hickey, is healing
nicely. 1t has been reported several
times in the past week that he wosld
be released on bail this week. 1t is
said that an uncle who owns some
property here, was trying to mortgage
it in order to get the money to furn-
ish the amount of the bond, but was
baked by his wifes refusal to sign
the mortgage. At this, the man is
said to have beaten his wife up brut-
taly but she still refused to sign the
mortgage. Whether this man can
overcome his wife's scruples about
helping release Dunn is question.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
NEW YORK, June 15.-Financial
America in its issue Monday will say:
Wall street will have plenty to en-
gage its attention during the coming
week. The converting of the republi-
can party meets In Chicago tomorrow
and for the following few days more
interest Is likely to be shown in the
developments attending the nomina-
ton Of the presidential candidate than
in stock market affairs. Very seldom
has so much uncertainty and doubt at
tended the converting of the delegates
OF the two parties and it might be
said that even on the eve OF the re-
publican convention, no reliable con-
lecture can be made as to what the re-
suit of the voting will be.
Wall street, however, has long ago
accepted the situation, and price move
ments after the conventions are not
likely to be Influenced by the progress
of the presidential campaign.
