Dresses—Fourth Floor Silver Creek Ctizens, Headed By “Traffic Cop,” Seek Alligator Tom Hutchinson saw an alligator at least nine feet long In the creek south of Silver Creek. Neb., one day recently. Tessir! He swears to It. And the skepticism of the other 683 Inhabi tants of the town don't swerve him from his declaration. Tom Is the Silver Creek tonsorlal lat, an upright man and prohibitionist. “I seen it,” says Tom. “And 1 know an alligator when I see one. I’ve seen aplenty of ’em In circuses and such.” "Mebby It was a log, Tom.” ven tured a skeptical inhabitant. “Log nothin'. Didn’t I see him movea n’ open his big mouth and everything? I'll tell the world I did. He was at least nine feet long, ac cording to my estimates. If I was tryin’ to lie I could say he was 15 feet long Just as well. I believe In stickin’ to the truth.” Jerry Moore, a rancher south of town, also saw the crocodilian reptile about 10 days ago, according to dis patches. “I think it was the same one,” said Moore. "He was about nine and a half feet long, I calculate. Same old reptile that Tom seen.” Elliott Lundy, fisherman, hunter and trapper of the town, now feels certain of the fate of his bird dog which disappeared recently out In the wilds along the Platte. 'T reckon that's where my poor old dog went," he sighed. "Durn that reptile anyway." The Silver Creekers aren’t going to sit Idly by and let the alligator get away with It. A posse of farmers and business men la being organized to go after him. Edgar Geyer, described in the dispatches ns "local traffic cop,” has been chosen to lead the expedition. Mr. Geyer was a circus man for 30 years before settling down to traffic copping In Silver Creek. What he doesn’t know about alli gators and such Is not found in tho books. So, unless the alligator pulls his freight out of the coutny very soon, his days of freedom are numbered. So says Mr. Geyer. Many theories are advanced as to how the reptile arrived in this place, so far from his native swamps of the south. The most plausible is that he slipped out of a cage of some circus, traveling on the Union Pacific, and then swam up the Platte and Into Silver Creek.

Lincoln, July 24.—Members of the democratic slate central committee meetolng here today to se'ect a suc cessor to Governor Charles \V. Bryan, were hopelessly deadlocked tonight, with every Indication pointing to a miniature Madison Garden perform ance being staged at Lincoln. At 5 o'clock the Mullen faction forced an adjournment until 7, when balloting was to be resumed. Eight ballots had been cast when adjourn ment was forced. John II. Hopkins was in the lead with 12 votes, with Kenneth McDon ald of Bridgeport, J. N. Norton of Polk and Dan Stephens of Fremont close on his heels. On the first ballots the Omaha dele gation, excepting Dr. Jennie Callfas, split between John Hopkins and Mayor Dahlman. Dr. Callfas voted for Norton. Later, the Omaha dele gates deserted Dahlman. part of them continuing to vote for Hopkins while others, headed by Arthur Mullen, voted for Dan Stephens. Mrs. H. E. Newbranrh cast several votes for J. N. Norton. An attempt was made after ad journment to induce the Hopkins followers to desert hi mand cast their votes for McDonald or Stephens. Should Hopkins surrender his votes, and he has shown no inclination to do so, it would not nominate the can didate who receives them, as under rules adapted it takes 34 votes to nominate. This represents a majority of the entire committee membership of 6G. There are 13 members of the committee absent. The total votes cast numbered 63. The hig surprise on the balloting was tho poor showing made by K. C. Knudsen, who is Governor Bryan's choice. On the first ballot Mrs. Grant Shumway, whose husband la a Bryan appointee, waa the only dele gate to vote for Knudsen. The great est strength shown by Knudsen was on the third ballot when he received six votes. One bit of gossip through the hotel lobby was to the effect that Governor Bryan at a midnight conferencs with Arthur Mullen, Wednesday, told Mul len he was opposed to the candidacy of J. N. Norton. Mullen, according to rumor, may eventually throw his Influence to Norton. Bryan’s animosity to Nor ton was reported to he due to differ ences he hnd with Norton over ap pointments shortly after his election. Many delegates were inclined to look on the story ns fiction on the part of the Mullen forces and asserted they wouldn’t believe it until Mullen ac tually voted for Norton.
