ROOSEVELT WILL HAVE
JOHNSON AS PARTNER

Chicago, Aug. 7.-Singing Onward
Christian Soldiers" and the Battle
Hymn of the Republic the delegates
to the first national convention of the
new Progressive party tonight ac-
claimed Theodore Roosevelt as their
candidate for president and Governor
Hiram w. johnson of California, as
their choice for vice president.
Marking a new departure in the
proceedings of national conventions,
the two candidates Immediately were
notified Of their nomination and in
the midst of the deafening cheers
they appeared before the delegates
to voice their acceptance and to
pledge their best efforts to the COM
ing campaign.
For several hours during the after
noon and early evening the throng
in the Coliseum had listened to a
flow of oratory In nominating and Sc
conded speeches, In which the domin-
ant note expressed was the belief
that victory would come to the new
party in November.
Raymond Robbins of Illinois pledg.
ed 100000 majority for the national
ticket In illinois, and Clifford Pinchot
predicted 100000 majority for Colonel
Roosevelt and Governor Johnson in
his home state of Pennsylvania. These
statements were cheered to the echo.
The party formally christened 1t.
self the Progressive party" leaving
out the prefix national by which it
has heretofore been known, but pro-
vision was made for the recognition
of real progressives in any of the
states by whatever name they should
be locally designed because Of sta,e
laws.
The convention adjourned at 1924
p. m. with the delegates singing the
"Doxology" in lusty voice.
During the three days 1t was in
session, there was not a roll-call or
a ballot. The delegates asked no
formalitles, either in placing their
candidates in nomination or In voting
for them. There was not voice of
opposition, either to Colonel Roose-
welt or Governor Johnson. The de-
lay in nominating them was due to
the large number OF secondlng
speeches allowed.

collect the arms and ammunition.
Seventy-five other soldiers stationed
themselves around the town, and we
heard reports that canncns were
turned on the town. The colonists in
general did not know this, the auth
critics there keeping 1t from us as
much as possible to avert commo-
ton. We have since been unable to
decide whether 1t was a big bluff or
whether the rebels actually intended
to perpetrate a massacre in case the
,olonists declined to give up the arms
md ammunition.
II has been extremely difficult for
the colonists to see their cattle stol-
en without resisting. In some cases
,hey have mad to muster all the self
control possible to refrain from resist
ing some of the rebels, but still the
men In our colonies have all the time
realized that 1t would be utterly i'm
possible to cope with the large num-
Der of rebels in our immedl ate neigh
borhood, and therefore have exerted
themselves to maintain as nearly
peaceful relations as possible.
Gave Up Arms and Left.
When the final summons came to
deliver our arms and ammunition, and
to make immediate preparation to
leave, we had no time to contemplate
the losses we would suffer, or tn
probable events of the future. Unit
then we had not suspected that we
would have to leave the homes which
1t had taken years of toll to make
and beautify, and then we had no
time to think about it. We felt the
urgency of departing and getting to
places of-safety more than anything
else.
We can hardly think now of losing
our homes there. Still 1t begins to
look very gloomy. Many of the co.,
onists will remain for some time on
the border, or near 1t, to be ready to
return as soon as peace is established.
Colonia Dublan and Colonia Juarez
compare well with any towns in the,
State of Utah. The homes were as
well built, and the farms were beau
tiful. We are indeed reluctant to givel
up our hope of returning there. Many
of our places were stocked with fin
cattle. some of them registered and
we were comfortable and happy.

Shot Through Heart.

Colclough dropped dead in his
tracks, one bullet through the breast
bone Just at the heart another In his
left wrist and third at the back OF
his head.
For all the fifteen shots fired, Bar
tender Scherich came out of the fray
unscathed, as did his two frightened
and almost unnoticed patrons-Mart-
in Krysach and Mike Lomich-who,
with the booming of revolvers. got
down the venerable rifle and wounded
two bystanders out in front.
As the taller of the two robbers
sank wounded to a sitting position on
the floor beside the dead marshal,
the smaller one sped for the front
door in full retreat. AS he passed the
screen the bartender fired at the fee
ing form. Whether that shot or the
others aimed at the missing highway
man found its mark Scherich was un-
able to say.
Refuses To Tell Name.
The wounded bandit refused to d.
vulge his name. The coat he wore
was bought in Butte. On the lining
was written the name Charles JAM
NAL The green SLOUGH hat the fell
low wore was from the San Francis
CO establishment of Barney Frankel
and bears the initials "F. J. r." When
Reynolds and Goff found him in the
saloon he was pulling from his trous-
ers band a second hat-a fuzzy brown
affair. There were initials In 1t. The
sheriff has laundry slip which may
aid in Identifying him.
This was my first trick" murmur-
ed the captured assassin after the
physicians had dressed his wounds
and probed for bullets and he lapsed
into comatose condition. He had
previously told Deputy Sheriff Beck
stead that he had never seen his COM
panlon until he met him recently In
the City and County buildings ground.
He asserted that he did not know his
pals name nor antecedents. He said
the other chap suggested the holdup
and that he agreed to the plan. He
denied that he was In the Vincent
hoidup July 20.
The robbers pulse was at low ebb
this morning. The doctors say he
cannot live. He was struck four times
by bullets and has one deep wound in
the head over the right eye, another
in the left leg, one In the wrist and
the other in the right knee. He is
not more than thirty years old, and
rather handsome. His clothing is
cheap, but neat He is very tall
more than six teet-and has light
reddish hair and sandy complexion.

accent that clinches Willis vincent's
belief that he took part in the July
80 sortie. One OF the blue bandana-
ed raiders on that occasion talked
hrokenly.

standing straight up in the back like
a strutting gobbler's tail. She grabbed
hold of the mans hand, and was
promptly lifted to the table beside
the other orphans" Tears stood in
the good preachers eyes as he turned
to the tittering audience and said in
pathetic voice, Think of it. my
friends, this beautiful little girl has
no mother"
Poor Mrs. Black! A hundred pairs
of eyes sought her pew and focused
themselves upon the pretty young
woman sitting there, red, angry, and
shamefaced. Mr.. Black was yisibly
amused and could hardly keep from
laughing aloud.
AS Frances passed by the Hamil-
tons pew in her promenade down the
aisle, Mrs. Hamilton leaned across her
husband and made an attempt to
clutch Lima; but she was too late;
already that dignified little orphan"
was gliding with stately, conscious
tread to join the others. This was too
much for the audience. A few boys
laughed out and for the first time
the preachers suspicious were
aroused. AS he clasped L1na's slender,
graceful little hand he asked:
And you have no father or mother,
little girl?"
Yes, l have, too" she angrily re-
torted. MY father and mother are
sitting right there" and she pointed
a slim forefinger to her crimson, en-
baTrassed parents.
