 Tie last effcrt on Pine Bluffs part immediately followed but their at empts were futile and the game ended with the ball in Pine Bluffs possession at the very threshold of Van Buren's goal.
 Pine Bluff Died GameIy.
 For Pine Bluff sloan's touchdown put m in the distinguished class but throughout the contest every men of the white and red fought des- Eerately. Captain Fletcher gained tie most ground and McIntyre's long r,ln though frutless, twas sensational. ChrStopher's absence made Pine Bluffs offensive work weak and Sorrell's injury prevented him from playing the brilliant game he has all ways played. Allen was unable, eX- cont in one or two instances, to do the effective work that has made him famous as a high school football player.
 For Van Buren, Parchman was the star, though Cleveland made two of the scores. Kinney also played an e~csllent game while Dunn. the left end was a bar to Pine Bluffs pro- grs.s.
 Crowd Comparatively Small.
 About 700 people witnessed the gara, nearly 200 of which were Pine Bluffians. Van Buren's delegation consisted of about 70. The cid was not rpped off and the encroachments of the surging spectators halted the game several times. President Hill, of the State Athletic Committee, wit pessed the game. ll -

BRYAN SILENT ON
 THE PLATFORM
NO DEFINITE ANSWERS FROM HIM AS TO WHAT WILL BE
 INCLUDED IN TT.
Had Not Seen Himself After Re. porter Went Stone Blind ill
 His Presence.

Baltimore, June 26-Whatever w. J. Bryan's plans may be for the building of the party platform, wna; blanks it may contain or whether t will be progressive or conservative in tone the Nehraskan is keeping carefully concealed from his friends. MT. Bryan had no statements to make this morning regarding either the platform or Judge Parker's appeal to the delegates to make Mr. Bryan chairman of the resolution committee. ReturIfing to. his slHotel from a visit to Mayor Preston the Nebraskan spent &the early. morning hours in SSlto,is elA;ei' a1la she1Aswena, se tho conveht4on haiIsS attend efla;.meet- ing Of the fsso1utfeh committee. .=s 1 : ''The delegates are saying below stairs that you will write the party platform" was suggested
 "But a progressive platform would  it not?" was Bryan's rejoinder.
 Here newspaper man pressed close to MT. Bryan and in most confi- dential appeal for information on the platform said:
 My Bryan, I have not seen MT. Bryan this morning. but can you tell ne what Mir. Bryan believes the plat- form wifi contain?''
 The Nebraskan drew the reporter still closer to him and replied with mock seriousness:
 Il have not seen MT. Bryan myself this morning.
 MT. Bryan was told that many dele gates believed the vote yesterday in- dicated that the convention was pro- sTessive and that he would be able to name the candidate for the presi- dential nomination.
 "I think I have given the opinion that the convention would have tn /. reactlonary stamp, with the qualfi- cation unless the delegates hear from home.' The vote would indicate that l am down."
 tBut not out,' added a friend.
 With the qualification that I don't mind it a bit'.' smilingly re- piled the defeated ea'didate for tem- por9ry chairman.

ESCAPE CONVICT
 STILL AT LARGE

Noble, Lake, Ark, June 26.-lienry Ellis, the escaped convict, is still at large. All efforts to capture him have proved futile. Superintendent McCook of the state farm, arrived from Var ner Tuesday morning with two blood- hounds and posse led by Clint Green and Dave Glover, of Pine Bluff, trail- ed the negro for several miles, but the dogs lost the scent ill the swamps.
 Ellis was last seen Monday night walking along the highway with h:- wife who dressed in masculine at tire. It is believed that the couple are still ;n this vicinity and arc being secreted by some of their relatives and friends. Ellis, who was recent vlyS sentenced to one year in the pen itentiary for assault withT intent to kill, escaped from the state farm at Cummins three weeks ago and has suc- cessfully eyaded capture since.

 BRYAN'S DECEPTION.

There is no doubt but that Colonel w. J. Bryan is trying to double cross" the Democrats at Baltimore and that he will play the traitor and prove false to the men who have so often honored him and confided in him, is evidenced by a conference which was held in his apartments at Baltimore hotel on Tuesday night, following the Colonel's defeat for temporary chairman by Judge Alton B. Parker.
 special from the convention city says that Frances J. Heney, of Cali fornia, .'one of Colonel Roosevelt s fighting lieutenants in the Republi- can national convention at Chicago, and Charles R. Crane, of Chicago. campaign for the nomination. were 'closeted' with the Nebraskan for three-quarters of an hour. They en- tered his apartments through a pri- vate elevator and were gone again be- for their presence became generally known. No on could be found who would discuss the incident, says the re- port.
 The special says further: "In con- nection with the Heney-Crane visit, it was learned that two representa- tives of the Outlook, one of them Carl Howland, who has been close to Col. Roosevelt since his return from Africa, two years ago, were ill town. Both put up at one of the headquar- ters hotels. They were anxious re- garding the possibility of progress siye-conservative fight in the conven- tion.
 Now what is Colonel Bryan up to?
 With his defeat in the chairmanshlp fisht he realizes that his presidential boom has been destroyed and that all hopes for the nomination of Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey, are blasted.
 What muse he do?

nor may be Doomed for the wee pres dency. The Woodrow Wilson people, who stood by MT. Bryan al- most to d man in his fight for the temporary chairmanship, are expect ing his support ill return when It comes to nominating, and apparently base taeir hopes of success upon some such action. It is real zed by all that the two-thirds vote necessary to nominate in the convention can only be secured by combination ot some of the candidates or by d "break" or stampede" of the dele gates. The various leaders are firm in the belief that there will be no stampede and say that they don't even fear Mir. Bryan himself ill that respect.
 MT. Bryan's motion that the preseh- tation of the platform be deferred un- til after nominations by the conven- ton was carried, Al to 9. The com- mittee lhs recommended this act on to the convention and adjourned until the convention should determine the matter.
