GREGORY HAS FIRST FIRE
Rosebud Town Experiences First Blaze
Two Horses Burn.
Gregory , S. D. , July 2. Special to
The News : Not to bo outdone by
Dallas , which recently experienced Its
first lire , Gregory comes this week
with Its Initial lire. A big barn be
longing to P. Myrlck burned to the
ground. Two horses were burned In
the lire.
The barn , which is In the northren
part of the city and located across the
street and on the corner of the alloy
from Mr. Myrlck's residence , caught
lire , presumably from some boys
shooting fire-works or smoking cigar
ettes. It was a great solid mass of
llames before hardly anyone knew that
there was a lire. The members of the
lire department rushed to the reel
house und In a short time had three
streams playing upon the burning
building. The fire had made such
headway that nothing but the charred
posts and one' side of the barn wall
wore left standing.
A team of horses belonging to Mr.
Myrlck were standing In the barn with
the harness on , but the fire had gained
such headway by the time discovered
that it was Impossible to save them.
This was the first time the city's
new water system was over tested by
an actual lire. The great pressure oh
tained from the three nozzles has con
vinced everyone that Gregory has ono
of the best water systems In this part
of the state. The reservoir for the
Gregory system is a big concrete tank
holding 30,000 barrels , located on top
of the Gregory butte more than 100
feet above the city. And thus gives
a pressure of more than three atrnos
phcres. It Is visible for miles in every
directlbn , standing as a grim guarantee
that the city of Gregory need never
fear a fire.

ing it deeded over by the government.

Indlanola local at the East Sixteenth
street crossing.
The truck of a tender on the work
train passed entirely into the smoking
car of the Rock Island passenger , pln >
nlng seven passengers In the rear end
of the car. The overturning of the
coach sent three trunks pounding on
the prostrate form 'of Baggagemen W.
H. Urbahns , so injuring him that ho
died on the way to the hospital.

of the engineers of both trains to
make the crossing at the same time.

toward It at a fair speod.

TAKE 189 FRUITLESS BALLOTS
Deadlock In Fifteenth Judicial Dis
trict Convention Continues.
Council Bluffs , la. , July 2. After
taking 189 ballots the Fifteenth ju
dicial district convention adjourned
until morning. The balloting went
merrily on all day and , while a num
ber of dark horses were sprung and
one candidate withdrew his name alto
gether , it did not have any appreciable
effect on the convention , and the dead
lock was apparently stronger than
over. W. C. Ratlift of Montgomery
county received ono vote on the sixty-
seventh ballot and on the next ballot
ho received four. Then the Pottawat-
tamlo county delegation voted its en
tire twenty-eight votes for him , but It
did not do much good , because no
stampede could bo started. Later his
boom dropped out entirely and' the
other candidates continued their work ,
but no ono of them could muster more
than thirty votes , while fifty-five wore
necessary to a choice.
Fremont county tried to stampede
the convention for Judge Macoy , the
present Incumbent , on the 132d ballot ,
by giving its entire vote to him , but
was unsuccessful. A. E. Cook of Mills
county withdrew , leaving that delega
tion to vote as it saw fit. The delega
tion split up among the other candi
dates , with the result that the chances
of each wore equally enhanced.
GRAY AND JOHNSON WILL NOT
POOL ISSUES AGAINST BRYAN.
WANT FIRST PLACE OR NOTHING
Bryan's Followers claim Victory on
First Ballot , but Are Overlooking
No Possible Chance'to Make His Se
lection Sure Anti-Injunction Plank.
Denver , July 2. Claiming a victory
on the first ballot , but overlooking uo
possible chance to make their tri
umph sure , the followers of Mr. Bryan
have been watching for any inovo on
the part of his rivals that would com
pel him to go single handed against
the field , au Taft was obliged to show
his strength in the early stages of the
Chicago convention against the com
bined forces of "allies. " The arrival ,
however , of the personal representa
tives of Judge Gray and Governor
Johnson , the only candidates who are
expected to enter the list against Mr.
Bryan , has failed to disclose any com
mon ground of agreement between
them. The Gray managers assorted
that they had no Intention of entering
Into u coalition with the followers of
Governor Johnson and had not made
them any overtures for a combination.
The same disclaimer to pool issues
was niado by the Johnson people.
They said they had no other view but
the nomination of Governor Johnson
and intended to make their fight for
that purpose only.
The attitude which the Gray and
Johnson people have assumed has
led to considerable conjecture of a
vice presidential character. The fol
lowers of Mr. Bryan profess to be
lieve that the refusals of the Gray and
Johnson men to make a combined fight
against the strength of Mr. Bryan
means that they are not averse to oc
cupying positions in which they can
avail themselves of Bryan votes for
second place In the event of bis nomi
nation for the presidency. On this
point , however , both Mr. Lynch , for
Governor Johnson , and Mr. Marvel ,
for Judge Gray , Insist that the Bryan
people are utterly lu the wrong. Their
men , they say , are out for the first
place and are giving no consideration
to the vlco presidency.
Roger C. Sullivan , national committeeman -
tooman from Illinois , announced that
his state might have a candidate for
the vice presidency In John Mitchell.
Bryan's Views on Injunction Plank.
What Is regarded as the very latest
indication that Mr. Bryan does not
contemplate changing his , position on
the injunction question to meet the
ideas of the conservatives was brought
to town by Frank S. Monett , Republic
an attorney general of Ohio from 189G
to 1900. Mr. Monett was In conference
with Mr. Bryan at Lincoln Tuesday ,
as the result of which ho says he will
have Mr. Bryan's Indorsement In ap
pearing before the resolutions com
mittee of the convention to state the
legal and political reasons why the In
junction plank should pledge the Dem
ocratic party to amendment of the law
In these three particulars : First , to
prevent the issuing of the writ in In
dustrial disputes except after notice to
defendants and full hearing ; second ,
to permit trial before a judge other
than the one who Issued the writ , and
third , to allow a jury to be summoned
In all cases where the alleged con
tempt Is committed outsldo the pres
ence of the court.
That Mr. Bryan has heretofore tak
en his stand on an injunction plank
containing these elements Is the state
ment of Mr. Monett , and the fact that
Mr. Bryan requested Mr. Monett to
urge their acceptance by the resolu
tions committee , Is taken by the
Ohloan to mean that Mr. Bryan will
bo satisfied with nothing less.
CHARLES A , TOWNE VISITS BRYAN
Announces He Is Out for Second Place
on Ticket.
Lincoln , July 2. Charles A. Towno ,
who Is an avowed candidate for the
Democratic nomination for vice presi
dent , as well as an old-time personal
friend of W. J. Bryan , stopped off
hero for the express purpose of dis
cussing vice presidential politics with
the latter. Mr. Bryan was expecting
him and for half an hour they re
mained closeted.
At the conclusion of the interview
the master of Fairvlew let slip Information
mation that he had been glad to see
Mr. Towne. He had nothing further
to say. Mr. Towne admitted to news
paper men that his candidacy , as well
as the platform , had formed the main
topics of conversation.
"Now Yortc is the logical state to
furnish the vice presidential nominee , "
said Mr. Towne. "The public does not
seem to realize the number of Demo
crats there are in northern New York.
I am not surprised at the declination
of Judge Gray to be mentioned for
vice president. I have expected it
right along. Judge Gray Is a strong
man , a popular man with all classes ,
bo has ability , a magnetic personality
ind marked attainments. However , I
have been assured by friends from all
parts of the country of support for
myself. Assurances of an unmistak
able character were given me by leadIng -
Ing New York Democrats before I
would permit the use of my name. "

Count's New Airship Traverses Great *
er Part of Northern Switzerland and
Maintains Average Speed of Thirty-
Four Miles an Hour.
Frledrlchshafen , July 2. Oount Zop-
polln outdistanced all world's iccunlu
for Hteerable balloons. He remained'
In the air for twelve bouts , traversed
the greater part of northern Switzer
land and visited Zurich , Wlnturthur anil
Lucerne , attaining an average opeeil
throughout of thirty-four miles an
hour. Ills airship displayed splendid
qualities of dlrlglblllty and answered
the slightest movement of the helm ,
while KB stability was quite up to the
groatoHt expectations.
In the most desirable weather condi
tions , almost a dead calm , the airship ,
manned by a crow of fourteen , under
the leadership of Count Zuppolln , left
Its floating homo on U-ike Constance
at 8:30 : a. in. I/-HB than five minutes
later Count Zeppelin shouted , "All
clour , " and the balloon rose about 1-
000 feet In the air and turned her
bows towards Constance , lly 9 o'clock
it had disappeared on the western
horizon.
Telephone messages from Frnuon-
feld , Wlnturthur and other towns soon
reported the appearance of the air
ship and her passage over the canton
of Zurich. The giant craft remained
ten mtnutoe hovorlug over the town of
Zurich and the lake , and then van
ished from view at a rapid rate In the
nf l.nrnrnn.
It was about 1 o'clock when the air
ship came into view at Lucerne and
the thousands of astonished tourists
from all parts of the world , Including
hundreds of Americans , greeted her
with loud cheering as she sailed
quickly over the waters of the lake.
With the greatest precision , Count
Zeppelin guided his airship and pro
ceeded to carry out a long series of
evolutions , which Included complicated
figures , circles , the figure 8 , sharp
turns , descents and ascents. He then
undertook a tour of the whole lake ,
visiting every bay and Indentation
along the shores. Finally , he turned
the nose of the ship homeward , cross
ing the Albls range of mountains In
the high air and traveling at a good
pace. They soon reached Zurich again
and great crowds of people had gath
ered there In anticipation of the bal
loon's return. The count , however ,
only accorded them a live minutes'
view of the balloon , merely encircling
the town hall , and then continuing on
his way to Wlnterthur and Frauenfcld.
At the latter place he crossed the ar-
tlllary range and was cheered by the
troops engaged In fluid exercises.
The airship turned eastward to
Brogenz , a frontier town of Austria-
Hungary. From that place It traveled
back to Frledrlchshafen , executing a
most difficult series of maneuvers all
the while until it was over the town.
A few minutes later the balloon
slipped easily into the shod , from
which It had been absent just twelve
hours. -
The greatest altitude reached in the
long voyage was 2,500 feet and the
distance covered about 220 miles.
Passengers traveling on a train be
tween Zurich and Constance say that
the balloon easily overhauled the
train , which It left behind.
Count Zeppelin considers the pros
pects for the approaching twenty-four
hour flight as favorable.
SITUATION AMABRIZ ACUTE
Foreigners Fear Trouble In Event
Fighting Takes Place In Streets.
London , July 2. The situation at
Tabriz , Persia , continues to be very
serious. Private dispatches received
hero say that the people have erected
barricades In the streets and the fighting -
ing is going on night and day.
Tabriz and the entire province of
Azerbaijan are strongholds of the
revolutionists and the arrival there of
troops to strengthen the forces of the
shah has increased tfie danger of the
situation. The entry of the troops to
the city Is opposed by the revolution
ary forces. All the bazaars have been
closed , and there has been some lootIng -
Ing of the residences of delegates to
the assembly and business houses.
Increasing cause for alarm Is found
In the fact that Tabriz Is surrounded
by Rachln Khan and his horsemen.
They are supporters of the shah and
utterly without discipline. Should
these riders bo turned loose on the
city , the lives of even the foreigners
there would bo In danger.
