They rode be tween the tracka of the Northwestern rail road and nearlng tba end of the yards overtook three men. The men closed In upon them and ordered them to get off tha bicycle, with which order the boys com plied, although at first they thought tha men were only fooling with them. The three trampa then ordered Nleman to walk ahead with the bicycle and young Flsber to follow blm, threatening that If either of them attempted to run they would shoot them. The boys, who were now thoroughly frightened, obeyed, and In this manner they proceeded for nearly a quar ter of a mile, when the tramps ordered thorn to climb the bill alongside of the track. Nleman expostulated, saying ha could not drag his wheel up the bluff, and one of the men seized the bicycle and threw It Into the weeds and ordered tha boy to climb without It. Young Fisher hesitated about climbing and another of the trio setxed him by the collar and forced him up the hill. Reaching thextop of the hill aomewhat ahead of tha othersT young Flsber made a dash for liberty and succeeded In hiding in the tall underbrush. He made his way back to the road along side of the railroad tracks and sought shelter in a nearby house..

Iowa Bapn.blioe.ns Girt Mora Attention to it Than to Candidate!, LIKELY TO REAFFIRM ONE OF LAST YEAR La fe loans, Leading Fight Against It, la Voted Dawa la Hla Own Dele gation, bat Will Carry It to Convention. (From a Staff Correspondent.) DE8 MOINES. July 19. (Special.) The eve of the conveltion for the nomination of a republican state ticket finds the dele gates who are gathered here concerned chiefly over the matter of disposal of placet on the committees. More interest haa been taken, tn choosing members of the etatt committee and of the committee that will make the platform than In selection of a state ticket. It is certain, however, that the platform committee will be favorable to a reiteration of the Cedar Rapids plat form of last year. This declares for pro tection and for reciprocity, and especially for the removal of duties on .any article which la monopolised and for revision of schedules which shelter monopoly. The last is what has offended some of the republicans. But it Is in line with the view of Governor Cummins and his friends. and tbey are demanding its re-enactloa. Tbey say that to change the platform in any radical way would be to repudiaterCum- mlns. The members of the committee from the Second, Fourth, Seventh, Ninth, Tenth and Eleventh districts will be for reaffirm ing the Cedar Rapids platform, the others will be opposed. In the First district James C. Davis of Keokuk, has no opposition for a place on the platform committee. The Fourth district member will be Senator Smith of Mitchell. The Sixth will be Rep resentative Kendall of Albla. In the Ninth H. W. Byers of Harlan has no opposition. The Tenth and Eleventh will be repreaented by George E. Roberts and ex-Senator A. B. Funk. ' Cammlns Wins Oat. A caucus of the delegates, from Polk county to the state convention was held this evening and it waa regarded as a test of strength on tariff revision as between the friends of Oovernoa Cummins and bis op ponents. Cummins men controlled the caucus and' compelled the withdrawal , of Late Young, who was seeking a place oh the resolutions committee. The district will select Senator Berry of Warren county and Teung will be chairman of the Polk county delegation. Young will carry bis opposition to the tariff reform plank to the floor of the convention and make a fight for it there. A mean light Is developing in the Ninth district on member of the state committee. Senator Bruce of Cass desires re-election, but is opposed by J. S. Dewell of Harrison, Asmus Boysen of Audubon and J. C. Savage of Adair are also candidates. Now comes the Pottawattamie county delegation, bring Ing out George Wright of Council Bluffs for the place. It had been prevloualy agreed that the Pottawattamie delegation should divide between Bruce and Dewell. If It should ao divide it would elect Bruce. Now It la discovered that the Cass delegation Is not entirely loyal to Bruce. The light la an ugly looking one, largely a personal matter, with Qbances at present favoring Wright. In the Fourth, district an effort la being made by the Cummins men to beat Turner for member of the state committee and Mr. Hempel of Clayton It likely to get the place. In the Second district a fight has developed against Charles W, Phillips, a Cummins man, and M. A. Raney of Iowa county, and Dave Brant of Johnson county are being considered. - Talk Abont Candidates. With these matters foremost soma at tention is being , given to candidates, but there It little change in the situation. There are six candidates for clerk and all are at work. Amos Brandt withdrew from the race for state auditor, leaving the field clear for B. F. "Carroll. . Thus three mem bers of the state executive council will be selected by acclamation something never heard of before In the history of the state. The contest for railroad commissioner is a three-cornered one between Blakemore. Dawson and Ketchum. It is alleged the railroads are interested in the candidacy of Dawson and that delegates have been brought on passes with the understanding they will tote for Dawson. The contest for upreme court reporter is unchanged a close race between Salinger and Corn wall. A goodly number tf prominent republicans arrived today. Among them were Senators Allison and Dolllver, most of the congres sional delegation and many of the veterans in the party In Iowa. But there will be no such attendance at the convention as last year at Cedar Rapids, nor is there the Interest in the proceedings there Waa at erally, however, good progress hss been made tn cutting the well-matured and over ripe crops. The percentage of total loes of oats Is hesvy In extensive areas of the state, but the high average yield on the drier lands may afford partial compensa tion It future conditions are favorable. The early threshing reports show liberal yield of winter Wheat and oats In the southern section. In all districts tha re ports Indicate a promising condition of corn In well-tilled upland fields.
