BOLTS NO BARRIER FOR
BOYS WHO WANT BEER.

Two barrels of bottled beer were
received in the dry sown OF Hotch-
Hiss last Saturday morning, consign-
ed, il is said, TO two prominent fruit
growers of that distric, and they
were stored over night in the rear
part of Livesay Bros plumbing shop
in that town. That is, the bubbling
beverage was expected to remain in
the shop over night, but it didn't.
A crowd of thirty boys came to
know of the consignment of Wet
goods, the place of temporary stor-
age, etc, and in the small hours of
Sunday morning they advanced
upon that little plumbing shop fully
determined to quench everything in
the way of thirst they might have
for at least three or four days to
come. They at once proceeded to
cut. or in some way remove. the bolt
to a rear door and il was the work
of but moment to have those two
barrels rolled out and loaded into
conveyance and taken to quarters of
their own.
On Sunday the Livesay brothers,
noting the absence of their stored
stock. quietly set about to learn the
perpetrators of the theft, and
whether one or more of the prowlil
party had gone beyond the limit of
propriety in the matter of indulg-
ence and had given the snap out
in their hilarity or not, is not stat

SPEAKER CLARK
MAY CONFR0
THE NEBRASKAN
RuSheS to Baltimore in Re-
sponse to Urgent Messages
From Managers That He
Should Answer Attack.
CONVENTION QUITS
BEFORE HE ARRIVES

IN ALTIMORE, June 29.-Spcaker
~ Clark came to Baltimore tonight
in response to the urgent re-
quest from Senator Dubois, his
campaign manager, and George Viii
liams Of Massachusetts,, who represented
that the Missourian s candidacy had
suffered by reason Of an "attack on
his honor" made by William Jennings
Bryan. The convention, apparently
hopelessly deadlocked. had adjourned
until Monday before the speakers ar
rival.
Back of Mr.. Clark g coming was
rumor Of disruption in his political
campaign. Senator Stone, former Gov
ernor Francis and the main body of
the Missouri delegation, were said to
be strenuously opposed to the speaker
ns I'M his behs aR Dp ey TO obscted fds eaPsn'e to e
activity Of Messrs. Dubois and Will
liams, as they believed the convention
would misinterpret Mr.. Clarks' appear
ance On the platform.
It was no surprise, therefore, when
Governor Francis Of the CLARK forces
seconded the motion Of Representative
a, Mitchell Palmer Of the Wilson camp
that an adjournment over Sunday
should be taken. Mr.. Clark IS train left
ment was taken fifteen minutes after
the time the news reached the conven-
tion floor.
Bitter Against Bryan.
There is q great deal of bitterness
against Mr.. Bryan among the Clark
adherents. They feel that the Ne
braskan had no right to attempt to
place Morgan Belmont-R Ryan brand on
the speaker just because the New York
delegation gave its support to him.
They have attempted to offset the ef~
feet upon the progressives made by Mr.,
Bryan's statement that he would with
hold his vote from the Missouri man
him. At the same time they argued
that he could not wipe out the injury
without attacking Mr.. Bryan in the
forum where Mr.. Bryan g assault was
delivered. The majority of the Mis-
souri, delegation felt that while Mr..
Clark would be justified In facing Mr..
Bryan and defending himself before
the convention. his opponent would
charge that his appearance was for the
tion in the form of votes.
Urged by Dubois.
Mr. Williams and Former Senator
Dubois are said to have ignored the
advice of their associates and to have
told Mr.. Clark that his only chance
Of redress lay in an immediate con-
frontal Of Mr., Bryan and the con-
vention. They urged him to take the
first train believing it would get him
here before the adjournment Of the
session.
The chances arc that Mr.. Clark
would have reached the convention
hall in time to make a dramatic en-
trance had not the plans of Messrs.
Williams and Dubois become known. It
was the plan to adjourn shortly after
midnight and the Clark forces, not
wanting another ballot after the TWEEN
ty-si1th, had entered upon counter
Wilson demonstration AS soon as the
Clark leaders heard that Senator Du-
bois had gone to the depot to meet the

Confers With Hearst.

It could not be learned tonight
whether Mr.. Clark would attempt to
see Mr.. Bryan. Some members of the
Missouri delegation believe he will be
content to make statement to the
convention through some friend or that
he will ask that letter be read setting
forth such statements as he cares to
present. There is no way he could ad-
dress the convention except by invita-
ton, but 1t is not likely this would be
withheld if he desires to speak Mon
day.
Mr.. Clark arrived in Baltimore at
11;45 and went directly to the Emer-
son hotel. There he went into confer
ence with his manager, ex-senator Fred
T, Dubois Of Idaho, and William R.
