About a year ago Mr.. Lichstern

nearly 100000 bushels. His hold.

CHICAGO POLICE
VERSUS MILITIA.
elTUATION CLIMAX TO ACTION
TAKEN BY JuNGE IN PO.
LlTicAL MATTERS.
INJUNCTION IS SECURED.
Armed Men Facing Each Other
Never In History Of Party Has
Such Grave Situation
Developed.

! Chicago, April 15.-An eleventh
hour victory for control of the Cook
county democratic convention was
obtained by the Sullivan forces over
the Hearst Harrison faction when an
Injunction was issued by Judge M. l.
Mckinley of the superior court re
straining the carrying out OF County
Judge John E. Owens unusual order
which placed a republican in the po
sition of temporary chairman OF the
convention.
It was rumored that Judge Owens
might refuse to recognize Judge NC
Kinley's injunction order and that the
fight when the convention opened
would be even more intense than had
been anticipated. 1t was said that
Judge Owens would obey only state
supreme court order.
Armed Men Face Each Other.
Armed men were facing each other
as the hour for the opening OF the
convention drew near In the armory
Of the Seventh regiment, Illinois Ma
tional guard, where the convention is
to be held, 120 guardsmen slept.
Outside was Gordon of city police
to be REINFORCED later by hundreds OF
blue coats and as many more special
deputy sheriffs. Chief of Police Nc
Weeny and Sheriff Michael thinner
will command the sheriffs and police
In person.
Never in the history of the demo-
cratic party in Chicago has situa-
ton of such gravity developed. Mayor
Harrison became angered when he
learned of the presence of the nation
al guardsmen at the armory. and In
addition to sending a telegram to
Governor Deneen demanding that
the militia be kept away from the
convention hall, he asked Colonel
Moriarity, commander of the Seventh
regiment, to refrain from any interior
ence with the police arrangements.
The mayor declared that the presence
of the guardsmen at the armory to
protect state property was but sub
terfuge.
To Protect Property.
Colonel Moriarity answered the
mayor by declaring that he would
have a squad of men on duty in the
armory under the regimental adju.
tant, Captain Thomas T. Octigan,
with orders to protect government
and state property. He denied that
his men would take part in any riots
which might start when efforts are
made to open the convention.
This situation came to climax to
action by County Judge Owens, who
took control of both the democratic
and republican county conventions
from the hands of party leaders
Judge Owens appointed Anthony
Czarnecki, republican member of the
board of election commissioners, to
sit as temporary chairman of the
democratic convention, and DR.. How.
ard S. Taylor, democratic member of
the board, to act as temporary chair
man of the republican convention.
The republicans said that they
would accept DR.. Taylor and would
treat him with courtesy. But q
storm of protest arose from the dem.
ocrats. Roger c. Sullivan. head Of
the faction opposed to Mayor Harri
son, issued a statement in which he
questioned the right of Judge Owens
to enter such an order.

Thomas Taraldson was born August
IA, 1869, at Lime Springs, Iowa, where
he grew to manhood. At about the
age of fifteen he was confirmed in the
Lutheran church, of which he con-
tinued a member. He was united in

December "a. 1902, at Hamilton, N. D..
afterwards living It Dragston and

hope of regaining health he moved to
Minneapolis VIII re he died at his home
on Easter morning, April Z, 1912.
Throughout his two years of failing
health he never lost his cheerfulness.
Even during the last winter when he
was confined to his home spending most
of the time sitting in his chair he would
cheer up his many friends who came to
sympathize with him, and in so doing
preached an effective living sermon on
Christian Patience and Cheerfulness.
His wife, two daughters, father, two
sisters, three brothers and host of
friends are left to mourn.
