ESTIMATE OF KREMPEST

Middlebury. July ll.-Addison county
court was occupied all to-day with

the stand all the forenoon in his own be-
half and without completing his testimony

of David Bonner Of New York and II. L.
Burchard of Lowell Mass. bearing on
the probable value of Krempest,
Mr.. Bonner Is a brother of the late
Robert Bonner of New York and was his
agent in the purchase Of Dexter and
Maud s. He said that he had paid all
the way from 500 20 $4,000 for horses. the
latter price being for Maud $, In 1904 he
saw Krempest driven by Mr.. Potter on
the Speedway in New York city and saw
him later in the stable and thought that
at the time he was worth from 5000 to
$500, but when the stallion died two
wears later he was probably worth from
$1,000 to $1,000. The case may possibly
come to an end by the close of next
week.

FALLS 40 FEET ON
ROCKS AND RUNS
All James Ryan Of Rutland Need
ed to Resuscitate Him Was
Chiefs Voice.

Rutland. July 14.-Air navigation
comes as a sort of second nature to
James Ryan. a marble cutter by trade
but a man about town by choice, who
this afternoon fell from the bridge
over East creek, near the Green Noun
tain Marble company's plant, a dis
tancs Of 40 feet. landing on bed Of
rocks. where he remained only long
enough to regain his senses. Then
he picked himself up and got out Of
the way.
Persons witnessing the descent of
the man and his successful landing
supposed of course that he was dead
and the police We're summoned. Chief
T. C. Elworth was in the station and
he with another patrolman answered
the call by hack. The officers were
landed on the opposite side of the
stream from the accident. The voice
of the chief called out to those at
tempting to resuscitate the man as to
the extent of his injuries. Ryan. who
more than once has been a guest at
the city JAIL heard the call and with
one jump bounded to his feet and made
off. 1t is supposed that the fall from
the bridge was preceded by drop
from the water wagon. Ryans face
was cut but no bones were broken.

Eugene w. Chain Promises Party
Not to Stand for q
Third Term.
WATKINS HIS RUNNING MATE
Convention Adjourns after a
Wrangle Over Representation
on National Committee
Haste at Close.

Atlantic City, N. j., July l2.-The ma
tional prohibition convention concluded
Its labors here tonight with the nonina-
lion of the party standard bearers of four
Years ago. Eugene W. Chafin of Arizona
for president and Aaron S. Watkins OF
ohio for vice-president. In each case the
nomination was made by reclamation
bitter n single ballot had indicated the
preference of the delegates.
Four candidates for president were
placed in nomination against Mr.. Chafin.
They were F. w. Emerson Of California,
FINLEY G.. Hendrickson of Maryland.
Aaron s. Watkins of Ohio and Andrew
jackson Houston of Texas. Each in turn
withdrew his name after the first ballot.
MIR. Houston creating enthusiasm by the
statement that he would rather receive
xhe lowest vote in the prohibition con-
Sention than the highest In either the
democratic or republican convention
The leading candidates against Mr..
Watkins for president We're Mr..
Emerson of California and George f..
Rockwell of New York. Both of the
party candidates were called to the
platform and made brief speeches. Mr..
Chain said he regarded the nornina-
ZION as the greatest political hon or
bestowed upon any man this year. He
thanked the convention for his Sec
bnd nomination and promised not to
ftand for third term
PARTY KEEPS OLD NAME.
After the nomination of officers, the
convention was forced to rush its bus
tness to conclusion as many of the
delegates were leaving for their
homes. Because of this the proposal
70 change the name of the party was
not taken up for general discussion
bnd action. A. ]. Orem Of Massa-
rhusetts in a brief speech promised to
pledge more money to the campaign
FUND should the name be changed.
Il believe we could make the campaign
fund double If we should adopt a new
name" said Mr. Orem. I'VE would he
greatly aided in carrying our banner to
success If we should ADOPT the name
'progressive.'"
There We're many shouts OF protest to
this as we'll as to the name "Conservation
party" suggested by the Rev. s. II. Taft
of California.
The convention adjourned after a
wrangle over a proposed change in the
representation on the national committee.
a proposal that instead of each State
having two representatives, on the ma
honal committee the representation be
according to the size of the prohibition
vote. one member for each five thousand
votes aroused considerable opposition
The matter was referred to the national
committee for settlement
