Minneapolis Monday night from
Pennington, Minn.,. carrying William
Kraft, a well-known citizen of that
town, and his 13-year old son, Glenn,
who were injured when a Milwaukee
freight train struck their automobile
at Pennington late yesterday. Both
were unconscious when picked up
and a deep wound in Kraft's head
led to the belief that his skull had
been crushed The Milwaukee road
made up a special in a hurry and
both victims were placed on board
and rushed to Minneapolis. An
ambulance which met the special at
the station took the injured man and
boy to ST. Barnabas hospital at top
speed There it was found that
Kraft was suffering from severe
scalp wound and that his limbs had
been badly wrenched and lacerated
and his body painfully bruised. Glenn
Kraft's leg was broken. The elder
Kraft regained consciousness at the
hospital and today it was said that
his recovery was assured. Mrs

moned from Pennington.

Three others were with him and
they had all the excitement that
Lee did, with the exception of his

Mr.. Lee and the Misses Jessie Thro

one of the occupants of the rear seat.
The automobile was running on a

twenty or more miles an hour when
it struck a stone that was buried in
the gravel, skidded off the highway
and went dancing into a cornfeld.

welt received the Minnesota delega,
ton at his suite, 1902, in Congress
hotel at 5 p. m. yesterday.
The meeting, which was arranged
by Andy Rain and Judge Milton
ID. Purdy, took place as soon as
the whole Minnesota delegation
could be gotten together after their
arrival. The delegation met at
parlor 8, Minnesota headquarters,
and then marched in a body to the
floor above where the Roosevelt
rooms are situated.
The delegation was admitted after
the customary formalities Of identi-
fication and the taking of precau-
tons to exclude newspaper men.
The delegates were arranged around
the wall of the inner room waiting
for Mr. Roosevelt who was expect

Nicholas Longworth and Govern

delegates flew open and in a lyric

penetrating, shouted Mick, Nick,

COMPLAIN OF CAUCUS
HELD BY "FOURTEEN''

Chicago, June 19.-Minnesota's
twenty-four delegates in executive
session Sunday decided to stand
pat for Colonel Roosevelt's program
for taking control of yesterdays
convention. There was very little
difference of opinion on the subject.
Some of the delegates had made up
their minds that they would not
walk out of the convention hall.
The idea of bolt was repugnant
to their ideas of party loyalty, but
the other proposition did not sound
so radical. To sit in the convention
hall and hold Roosevelt conven-
ton, claiming to be regular, did not
seem like bolt, and the way in
which the doubtful Minnesotans
lined up for it showed the political
genius of the colonel, who is cred
tied with deciding the program. He
