Missouri republican convention which
adjourned early today. Taft men de-
clared they would hold a convention
later in the day and send a contest

vention.
When the convention adjourned the
lineup stood: Instructed for Roose-

Roosevelt supporters had complete
control of the convention. Peremp-
tory instructions were issued, order

honorable means to advance Colonel
Rooseveit's candidacy. Eight dele
gates at large, each with half a vote,

Harley, the state Roosevelt leader,
agreed before the convention opened
that delegates would not be instruct

After the close, Roosevelt men con-
trolled the convention and Taft men
held a rump convention and elected
contesting delegates at large

PILOT ROCK MAN
MYSTERIOUSLY LOST

Does anyone know the whereabouts
of Adolph Kruger of Pilot Rock? If
so they can dispel the uneasiness
which is seizing upon his friends who
have not heard from him for a month
and who are at loss to account Tor
his strange absence and silence.
Kruger, who has been making his
home with Joseph Baylor at Pilot
Rock for some time past left home
on March 13 for Pendleton, having
received a letter from Germany stating
that a wealthy uncle had died and left
him a sum OF money which was being
sent to him and which was due to ar
rive about March 25. 1t Is known
that he arrived here and drank more
or less heavily but the last trace that
has been found of him is from man
who declares he saw him walking on
the railroad track towards the asy-
lum four weeks ago today.
Kruger started for Germany year
ago. it will be remembered, but only
got as far as Salt Lake City when he
was made the victim of a confidence
man and relieved of his entire purse.
He returned to Pilot Rock then. His
friends now fear that he received his
money expected from the old coun-
try and has again become the victim
of persons who care more for gold
than for the methods of getting it.,
The only other theory entertained as
tenable is that he did not receive the
money as expected and, In fit OF
dependency, committed suicide, in
asmuch as. when under the influence
of liquor, he was heard to threaten
TO take his own life if he failed to get
the money.

the list in the amount of the contri
button and this year raised her do
nation SIS, making it $500. Union
county delegates, not to be outdone
promptly pledged $210 while the
other counties without exception in
creased their previous contributions.
s216 was pledged by individuals and
this amount is in excess of the per-
sonal donations at the McMinnville
