Didn't Lose the Eye.

While in quest of hostler to secure

last evening, Robert Crnickshank Of
Central street entered the harness rooms

in partial darkness ran against a hook
used in connection with harness clean
ing, tearing jagged cash in the upper
lid OF his right eve.
The injured man fell backwards onto
the floor and, regaining his feet. started
for a physician. He went to DIR. c. +.
Camps residence and was taken to the
City hospital whore the wound was
dressed, seven stitches being needed. The
blow OF the hook caused the eve to col
or and the loss of blood from the cash
was considerable. II will be a matter of
a few days before CrGickshank is able
to leave the hospital and he will be un-
able to resume work for nearly month.
1t was miraculous that the eye was not

threatening nature reached officials of
the court Yesterday. District Attorney

government, received telegram, dur
ing a recess, in which march on the
courthouse was threatened il the defend
ants were not freed
Haywood visited the prisoners in Jail
last night, accompanied by Fred II.
Moore of Los Angeles of counsel for the
defense.
When asked about threats to storm
the Salem Jail should the men on trial
be found guilty, Haywood said he did
not believe any such action would be
necessary. as he was convinced that all
three would be acquitted.
Counsel for the defense is considering
asking the release of the prisoners on
bail if the venre is exhausted to-day
without jury being secured. District
Attorney Atwil said he would not oppose
such a motion.
The third juror was secured this fore
noon in the person of Willis b. Cressy

HAMMOND SEEMS
TO Be The MAN
Slated to Head Democratic State
Ticket.
IVERSON THE DARK HORSE?
Rumor Connects State Auditor With
Republican Nomination for the
GoVernorship.
Especial Correspondence

st. Paul, March 12.-The Democratic
forces in the state will meet in ST.
Paul March 10 and the indications are
that Governor Eberhart and those now
trying to *rest the Republican nomi'
nation from him will come pretty near
knowing who they will have to cross
swords with this coming fall. This
gathering, which was called by Acting
Chairman Daily of Minneapolis week
ago, IL not exactly for that purpose
but it will figure in the deliberations
of the leaders just the same. Who
will be the Democratic standard bear
er this fall is now being discussed, but
gossip along that line has been lost in
the heated struggle ON the other side
of the house for national and state
control Of the party machinery. It has
absorbed the attention of the voters
and the Democratic leaders have gone
on ahead with their plans unobserved
and unhampered. Unless the unex
pected happens the army of unwashed
will meet the enemy with united
front this time, something that cannot
be said Of the enemy. The one best
bet is that Congressman w. H. Ham
mond of the Second district will lead
the Democratic forces as its candidate
for governor and that his selection will
be without opposition, though if he
does forego a third trip to Washing
ton, which is practically assured him
it will be contingent on the nomination
of Governor Eberhart as the Republic
an standard bearer. He believes that
he could wrest his home district from
Governor Eberhart, but he is not sc
confident as to the others now in the
field. Sam Nelson of Luverne, Judge
Spooner of Bemidji and a half dozen
others have been mentioned in con
nection with the Democratic nomina
ton, but none of them appeal to the
leaders as does Mr.. Hammond.
