ARREST MAN ON
MURDER CHARGE
Harry Bronson Being Held for
the Killing of Fairport
Postmaster.
CAUGHT IN DAVENPORT
Was at Home of Relative There
Has Revolver on His Person
When Police Find Him.

Davenport police this morning ar
rested Harry Bronson of Fairport,
Iowa, on a warrant charging him with
the murder of Bert C. Hershey, post
master at Fairport. The warrant was
issued by the police at Muscatine, who
believe they have evidence sufficient to
convict the man. At the time of his
large revolver. but he had no oppor-
tunity to use it, even if he had any de
sires along that line. He was caught
at the home of Davenport relative,
and his arrest followed information
sent out from Muscatine.
HAD MADE THREATS.
Bronson is the man mentioned yes
terday as having had trouble with the
dead postmaster. 1t seems that Bron
sen had in his possession key which
admitted him to the postoffice, and the
postmaster, upon missing some arti
cles from his general store, accused
Bronson of having used his key TO ad
nit him at night. Bronson was very
much incensed at the accusation, and
threatened to get even with his accus
err. Then Hershey took to sitting III
all night to guard his store, and yes
terday morning he was found dead.
The revolver which Bronson carried
when arrested could not have beef
used in the murder, if murder it was
| for the deed was done with a sho
gun which Hershey carried himself.
Bronson refused to make any state
ment when arrested. He has beer
taken to Muscatine, and is being hell
there pending his preliminary hearing

resisted arrest. In the scuffle, he slip

few marks of the conflict, and he is a
very subdued Bert Duprez, somewhat
different from the fellow who appear
ed in the police court room yesterday
and got away with some vile talk till
Hazel Smith swore out a warrant for
his arrest. The girls who were ar
rested in his place Saturday night
viewed his arrest with interest.
DROP OTHER CHARGE.
The charge which was preferred by
Hazel Smith, who is now in the county
bastile, was dropped this morning.
Duprez took a change of venue from
Smiths Court yesterday to Nissen's.
1t was thought it would be saving of
time and trouble to drop the case
there. The complainants in this last
case say that they will take him into
county court if he wants either jury
trial or a change of venue. P. H. Wells
is attorney for Duprez.
The defense in the case asked for
change of venue and the charge
was dismissed by the complainants
ney G. c. Wenger. A capias from the
county court was served by Deputy
John .,.iller and Duprez was takeT
back to the county Jail in default OF

There vas n time when English
statesmen wept upon small provoca-

TO this weakness, while the story OF
the long parliament as written by
D'Ewes gives tie impression that the
Legislators Of that day were singularly
prone TO tears. They wept on the
slightest provocation, and sometimes
their excessive grief was so noisy that

CLARK BOOM LAUNCHED
M~issourians Doing Everything Posi-
BILE to Secure for FavorIte Son
Democratic Nomination.

Joplin, Mo-, Feb. 2O.--Champ Clark's
boom for the democratic nomination
for president was formally and vocif.
erously launched here today at the
democratic state convention. The re.
tirement of former Governor Joseph
w. Folk from the race leaves Missouri
and the Middle West a clear field for
the speaker of the house, and now that
the Clark-Folk controversy has been
settled and Clark has the definite EN-
dorsement of his native state, 1t is be-
lieved that sentiment in his favor will
sweep over the entire West from the
mississippi to the Pacific.
While the speaker was confident
that he would be endorsed by today's
state convention, the voluntary with
drawal Of Folk from the race ten days
before the gathering has assured har
mony in the party. Mr.. Folk has de-
clared that he will give his best efforts
to the cause of the democracy and will
do all in his power to. quiet dlsaffec.
ton.
1T is necessary to the party well
fare that there be an end to discord,"
Mr.. Folk is quoted as saying, "and |
am willing to do all l can to bring
about that internal peace so necessary
to the success of the party"
While there is little doubt that il
Folk had stayed in the race he would
have been defeated in today's conven.
ton, Missouri democrats have a great
admiration for their former governor
and stand willing to give him almost
any honor or office within their power,
except the one which popular opinion
has awarded to Champ Clark. Folk
has "played in hard luck" politically
since his retirement from the gov
ernorship. He was a candidate for
Major Warmers seat in the United
States senate, when former Mayor
James A. Reed of Kansas City entered
the race. Reed, it is alleged, offered
to help Folk get the Missouri demo.
cratic delegation for the presidential
nomination if Folk would retire from
the senatorial race. Folk made the
deal and helped to land Reed safely
in the United States senate. Folk got
the democratic state convention en-
dorsement of his presidential aspira-
tons a couple of years ago, and all
went well until the democrats secured

a majority in the national house and
elected Champ Clark as speaker. Then
Missourians began shouting for Clark
for president. The democratic state
committee met last month to arrange
for today's convention, and that SEES
sion marked the final puncturing Of the
Folk boom. In his hour of need Folk
found himself deserted by the Reed
men on the committee. He kept up the
fight a few weeks longer, but ten days
ago realized the hopelessness Of seek
ing to stem the tide flowing Clarkward.
