great enthusiasm manifested. Pre
vious to the convention the several
wards held their primaries which In
every case wero largely attended and
at which the utmost harmonq pre
vailed although there were several
fplrlted contests for nominations.
An account of the several pri
maries follow the convention ac-
A motion that the credentials from
the several wards be handed to the
secretary and thoHe listed be accred
ited delegates to the convention and
that the reading of the list be dis
pelled ftllb. was unanimously car
ried. Tho call of the convention
was then read by Secretary Leyda af
ter which nominations for mayor
were called for.
It was obout eight thirty o'clock
when City Chairman Pox called the
convention to order and suggested
that the several ward delegates get
together In a compact body which
was done. Mr. Fox was Belocted
as temporary chairman and John
M. Leyda of the second ward
was unanimously chosen temporary
secretary which organization was
later made permanent.
On motion It was decided to take
an informal ballot for this nomina
tion and Chairman Fox appointed as
tellers for this purpose Messrs. P. 0.
Kgenbergcr and John Lutz. The re
sult of the Informal ballot was as
follows:
John Sattler, 31

tion of Acting Mayor Slnttor by a
practically unanimous vote, the re
sult being:

imous. Mr. tattler called for made a brief
speech of acceptance to tho conven
tion for the nomination. He thanked
tho convention for the honor con
ferred and pledged himself to start
in at once and work for the demo
cratic ticket from top to bottom and
expressed his confidence that the
ticket would bo such a one as he
could work for. lie promised the peo
ple that he would give them a clean,
honest administration. Ills speech
met with much applause and enthu
tasm.
A sharp fight over city treasurer
resulted from the appearance of
Carl G. Fricke In the field as a can
didate for the nomination against
City Treasurer Clement who waa sup
posed to be, without opposition, but
the contest while spirited was
friendly and left no sore spots.
Judge Archer placed Mr. Clement
In nomination without tho formality
of a speech, while L. W. Lorenz made
a brilliant speech In placing Mr.
Frlcko before the convention, refer
ring to the need of a young business
man In the office and to Mr. Frlcke's
parly childhood In this rlty and the
fact that for more than twenty years
past ho hnd been one of tho city's
most exemplary young men, and
man of business ability and charar
ter a young man with honesty and
education, two prime requisites of
the office.
The bnllot was a formal one and
resulted In the nomination of Mr
Fricke as follows:
C. O. Fricke, 30.
V. K. Clement. 20.
On nomination the nomination
was made unanimous. Mr. Fricke
thanked the convention briefly for
the nomination.
For city clerk John Lutz placed I
the name of Dr. W. B. Elster before
the convention and he was chosen for
a second term by acclamation.
Dr. Elster also returned his thanks
to the convention for the nomina
tion and expressed himself as proud
to be a nominee of the democratic
party. This was loudly applauded.
An amusing Incident was the pres
ence of A. N. Sullivan, father-in-law
of Dr. Elster and an enthusiastic
supporter of the "citizens" move
ment, who was considerably embar
rassed by this reference.
Dr. J. S. Livingston placed Police
Judge Archer before tho convention
as a candidate and he also was nom
inated by acclamation. Judge Archer
thanked the convention and pledged
himself If elected to do the best he
could which would be (5 and costs.
The greatest good humor prevailed

atlon of two members of the board
of education, several delegates In

two outgoing members who In this
case b&ppfcned to be republicans,
but the convention finally decided to

and J. V. Egenberger for the posi
tions. The ratification of the several
nominations for councilmen from the

Authorities Try to Locate Craft But j
Are l'nucre.sful.
The World-Herald of Omaha this
morning contained an account of t'ia
llwuliii rApeiltMn.es of the euuplo
spoken of in the Journal of last
evening which, on -Investigation, does
not conform with the facts as stated
in this paper. The World-Herald ac
count Is quite apparently wrong on
the face of It as It puts the couple
In a sail boat and gives the value of
the property at $1,000. It would re-
quire a large sail boat to carry this
much property. Investigation reveals
that the statement printed in the
Journal was virtually correct. The
boat was capsized near Hentons sta-
tlon but the couple were taken to
the home of Jud Shannon Instead of
walking to Tacific Junction In their
ozen loihes. They later wt'nt
acl'ic Junction and left for
tno tout!). The World-Herald Ja
also wrong in 6tating that Charles
Powell caught the boat near the
bridge.
Chief of Police Rainey this morn-
ng had a telephone message from
Omaha asking him to secure the boat
-.d de'.uin It and y -.. .s on thi m v.
sage, he walked down to the bridge
onl la fjiid that no beat had bee.
captured there or In the vicinity. He
dld find that Fred Black on the eve-
ning of the wreck had seen what he
considered to be a boat upside down
going down the river In the gloom
and amid the ice but the evening was
so far advanced that Mr. Black could
not be sure that It was a boat. Yes-
terday he and James Ault took a boat
and cruised up the river In search of
any trace of the ill fated crart but
tney were unaoie to secure any.
The general opinion among river
men is that the craft Is sunk at the
foot of the high bank which slid upon
it and that it will likely never be
found.
Chief Kalney did not know who
the man was that telephoned htm to
hold the boat and was unable to say
whether or not it was the alleged
owner. The understanding here is
that the couple were two traveling j
musicians and that they Immediately
abandoned the boat and departed for
the south ostensibly for St. Joe, Mo.
There seems to be more or less
mystery connected with the couple
as no one was aDie 10 learn ineir
names and they seemed very anx-
lous to get away from this vicinity.
iney were aiso quite evidently un-
used to house boating or they never
would have run into the bank at the
point they did. It Is presumed they
are now at Kansas City or further
south.
Two Ilnndsone Deals.
The firm of Pool & Colbert at
Weeping Water has Just closed two
large deals for Cass County land
which are deserving of more than
passing notice. William H. Pool, the
senior member of the firm, was in
the city Tuesday closing the deals
up,, his presence being noted In
Tuesday's Issue. The two deals
were participated in by Dr. F. M.'An-
drews who sold 160 acres of land
near Manley to August Stander. a
well known citizen of that locality,
for the sum of (17,400 or an av-

The petition further alleges that
defendant Wescott has failed, ne
glected and refused to do and per
form any of the agreements and ob
ligations he was to perform under
the franchise and contract, and by
reason of such failure the said
bond is forfeited to the City and
asks for judgment against the de

and, five hundred dollars with inter
est thereon at the rate of Beven per
cent per annum from the 14th day of
October, 1908, and for costs of suit.
Speaking of the case, City Attorney
Ramsey states that it is his intention
to prosecute the case vigorously. He
states that he has been asked by
members of the council to see if this
suit cannot be compromised but that
he will not take such steps. If the
council desires to compromise the
case, it may do so but he intends to
do his duty as they have ordered him
to. The case should be for trial at
the May term of court and gives
every promise of being hotly con
tested. Pleasant Visit.
