Eagle Beacon.
Hilton the First to File.
The first filing for place on the
primary ticket was made this morn
lng when E. E. Hilton, present coun
ty surveyor, filed his application for
a place as a candidate before the
republican convention for register
of deeds. L. H. Dafte of Green
wood Is the slate candidate for this
place but Hilton evidently does not
propose to submit to being a victim
of the steam roller, and has hied his
caster Into the ring. On the repub
llcan side there seems to be some
conspicuous movement to nine up
and fight the slate. George Lusch
lnsky of this city, it is said, has
concluded to contest with Wade
Windham for the republican noml
nation for county clerk while rumor
puts John Buscho of this city, who
threatened, to fight Mr. Windham
Into the race for register of deeds 1
or sheriff. This last is rumor how
ever, and does not in any manner
mean that Mr. Busche authorizes the
statement. He has many friends
who are urging him to enter some
of the contests. Anyway, the ma
chine will find everything lovely by
any means and the slate stands an
elegant chance of getting what Is
coming to it.
However, the tactics used to des
troy the republican party is this
city may be applied to the county
and the voters will have to take the
dose prepared for them by the ma
chine and say they like it.
The democratic side of the house
Is in an unusally tranquil state. A
number of excellent men would like
to run and doubtless will stand as
candidates before the primary. The
committee has had no meeting and
has no preferred slate. The demo
cratic idea of letting the people
choose the men they want will pre
vail as usual anl a strong and pop
ular ticket will be put forth. The
utmost harmony prevails in the rank
and a desire to extend the beneficent
rule of democracy in all the county
offices Is manifest. There is small
room to believe the steam roller
will permit the republican rank and
file to name any of the candidates
and in view of this, there is every
reason to believe a turn to demo
cracy will result

who was stricken by the heat and au j
while at work, died on the way to
St. Joseph 8 hospital in tne ponce
auto later in the afternoon.
While the auto was passing Elev
enth and Pierce streets a tire went
flat and during the delay of four or
five minutes necessary to fix the tire,
Norviile died. The physicians who

even If the tire accident had not oc
curred, j

will be held, but an Inquest prob
ably will be dispensed with.
Norviile was a col driver for J 1.
Kemp. He was engaged In shoveling
coal from a pile In the Havens-White
local yards, Sixteenth and Marcy
streets, into his wagon, when he sud
denly dropped to the ground. The
police ambulance was hurried to the
yards and Norviile was given emer

the man was started to the hospital.

sorrowing relatives In this city the
news of the death of Norvey Nor
viile, so well known here as
'Pug" Denson. Deceased was quite
well known In this city and vicinity,
where he had lived since childhood.
He is a nephew of John, Lincoln,
Fred and Jess Denson and was born
in the year 1881, across the river
in Iowa.
It Is generally understood the fu
