Mr. McLean did not expect to attend th <

CHARUKS B. WINTER
It required nearly three hours of the warm-
tit sort of work for the Douglas county dele
gated to the slate convention of republican
clule to construct the above slate last night
as an Indication of what the local republican
clubs lll ask for In the state convention
which meets at Uoyd's opera house tonight.
The delegates were called together In cau
cus at Crelghton halt and nearly 300 of them
labored and perspired through a session ot
lively politic * . There was a big field of
candidates for the honor of representing Ne-
bratka at the nat nal convention at Detroit
and most of the aspirants were represented
(
by a lively crowd of supporters. The contest
was exceptionally good natured. but It was
fought out as earnestly as though a na
tional campaign depended on the outcome.
! and there was as active trading on the
boards as would bo teen at the hottest tor ;
ot a state convention.
ONE SUATE BROKEN.
The outcome was a foregone conclusion
long before the vote was polled , but the del-
cgates had become so thoroughly entangled
that every candidate believed he bad a fight
ing chance and fought stubbornly to the end.
The slate which had been prepared by one
faction was completely knocked out of the
box. It aa represented by a printed ticket
which bore the name of E. J. Cornish for
delegate-at-Iarge and Harry Brctne , J. H.
Van Duscn. Dr. M. O. Ricketts and Theodore
H. Johnioa for district delegate. Mr. Van
Dtnen withdrew his name , stating that he
would be unable to go to Detroit at the time
the convention was to meet , and the re
mainder of the district delegates on the elate
were left several lap * behind In the race.
The caucus was called to order by John
Le .s. who stated that the object of the
mettjng was to arrange for united action In
the- stateconvcntUn in the following even
ing. In response to a call lor Dominations
j for chairman. A. J. Lutu nominated J. M.
Glllan and John H. Butler namel A. S.
I Churchill. Mr. Gillan was elected , anJ the
j crganization * as completed by the election
of Tom DavLs as secretary and W. R. Mc-
I Lain as assistant secretary.
There wzs some confusion incident to the
organisation and this was Increased when
Pat O. Hawes moved that the caucus ad
journ to 3 o'clock today. He urged this for
the reason that Sarpy and Washington coun-
tiet were not represented , but his logic was
j test on the delegates , who defeated his mo
tion by an overwhelming vote. A rnoIon that
the delegated present cast the full votetc
which the clubs they represented were en
titled WES carried without objection.
' ' WINTER IS ENDORSED.- -
W. F. Gurley offered a resolution endorsing
ing tha candidacy of Charles E. Winter for
president of the state league. The resolution
recited the fact that Omaha had never had
the honsr of securing1 the presidency of the
league and urged the importance of having
the headquarter * in Omana during the next
yea.m view cf ths expectation of securing
the 1S53 national convention for this city.
A motion to table the resolution was se
verely sat on. and after the chairmen o !
nearly all the delegations present had eec-
cnded the resolution , it was adopted by a
uaanimotis vote.
Pete Sehwenk was not so successful with
tis resolution , which was to the effect that
the present Immigration laws were good
enough , and that any change would be In
jurious to the prosperity of Nebraska. Tht
convention took the position that this sub
ject did not properly belong to the caucus
and the rtjoluticn was tabled.
H. T. Lsavitt moved that the convention
proceed to select a delegaie-at-large from
this county , and H. C. Brorne suggested that
the * < > cre2ry call the roll of the clubs fo :
nominations. Lee Eitelle headed off whai
promised to be a tedious proceeding by nam
ing Charles J. Greene in behalf of the Uniaa
Veterans' Republican club and moving as a
substitute for all motions that he be en
dorsed by acclamation. TbU went through
j with a whoop and Mr. Greene was called tc
| the platform , where he briefly expressed his
) thanks and intimated that he would make
his speech tonight if he should be elected.
MANY ARE CALLED.
After the caucus had extricated Itself from
a parliamentary fnarl which resulted fron
the effort to decide on the quickest way ol
naming the district delegates , nomination :
wera allowed. Charley Unltt nominated A
J. Lunt. W. W. Bingham named E. J
Cornish , and the lUt was filled out with th
j names of W. F. Gurley. Theodore Johnson
I J. C. Cow-In , E. M. Bartlett , James Walsh
D.M. . O. Rtcketts. J. H. Van Dusen. Georgf
Collins , Pit O. Hawei and J. A. Beck. wh (
was named aa the choice of the South Ornahj
delegation. Mr. Van Dusen stated that hi
was not a candidate and withdrew in favor 01
Mr. Beck.
T. W. Blackburn then moved tba : the con
ventloa proceed to select three delegates , ol
which two shoul J be from Omaha and on <
t'rom South Omaha and the country , thui
leaving the fourth district delegate to b-e te
Icctcd by Washington and Sarpy counties
Thus opentd the way for an avalanche o :
motions and amendments and the tltuatlst
became chaotic.
R. C. Jordan moved that James Walsh b <
I named by acclamation to represent the coun
try , and John G. Kubn wanted E. J. CornUt
and W. F. Gurley selected In the same- man
ner as the Omaha delegates. This dli no

DEADWOOD. S. D , June : S. ( Spe
cial Telegram. ) Four masked men this
morning made a desperate attempt
to rob the Butte County bank at
Belle Kourche. Entering the bank
with revolvers drawn they ordered the cia-
tomere pr cnt and bank officials to hold
up their haada. A little hesitancy on the
part of Cashier Marble drew a shot from the
gun ot one of the robbers , which clipped
o : a targe portion of the cashier's right ear
and enforced compliance with the command.
The safe and counters were relieved ot
the cash they contained and the robbers -
bers , mounting their horses , which had
been conveniently stationed near , rode away.
An alarm wo * Immedlitely given and in a
few moments a well mounted and armed
pcwse was in pursuit of the bandits. Within
a short distance from town the pofse came
up with the fugitives and a running fight en.
sued which resulted In one of the robbers
throning up his hands and surrendering
The others , being better raountea , con
tinued their flight , but were clcnety
pursued and have very few chances of escap
ing.
ing.The
The day was favorable for a raid 03
the bank , as th weather was such that It
kept the towns-people off the- street and tha
robbers had little opposition and had quite a
surt before the slarm could b < given.
PURSUIT WAS PROMPT.
There trcce five men engaged in the rob
bery. Had It not been for A. Giles , a mer
chant of the toan , who was attracted to the
building by noticing an unusual display of
firearms on the part of if-veral customers In
the bank , the robbers might have accomp
lished their purpcae. Giles Immediately
gave the alarm and for his bravery went
through a fustlade of revolver shots from
the bandlu and narrowly eacuped being
killed. So quick was the pursalt made that
the outlaws had hardly time" to reach and
mount their horpas , which had b * n tied In
the rear of a saloon clne to the bank , and
were under fire almost from the moment
they left the bonk.
Thtrobbers when leaving town began
shooting at everything in sight and the store
of Gay & Sons received a volley from their
guns. Walter Gay.arho was in the store at
th * time , was shot through the cheek , the
wound being a painful one.
The pursuit began almost with the opening
volley from the outlaws' guns and one of
them. Thomas Day. did not have time to
reach his horsa and was captured about half
a mile from town , after having discarded hU
arms. He te now In Jail in Deadwood. Tha
other four men were followed closely and are
now at bay on the Three V ranch , three
miles from Belle Fourche. and their capture
or killing U but the matter of a few hour * .
The country th-ough whlrh they attempted to
escape N one of the mott thickly settled in
the state ar.4 every farmer seems to have
constituted hiccs .f a patrol officer.
CASHIEP. SAVES THE CASH.
The amount taken from the bank will not
exceed $75. the change which had been put
upon the counters when opening tor busi
ness , but It might ha\e txen more were it
net Tor th - presence of mind of the cashier.
Arthur Marble , who upon the entrance of
the robbers sUmmed shut and locked tbo
doors of the vault.
This is the flrbt attempt to rob a bank in
the history cf the Black Hills. Cashier Mar
ble exhibited great bravery , for upon the flrat
demand of. the robbers he attempted to re-
epond with a sbc-sbooter. but his weapon
missed fire t lce and a * hot or two In bis
direction cauied him to abandon his attempt
at defeue. but not before he had made the
bank's funds safe by clclng and Vxklng tha
vault doors.
