BOTH OF THE MEN ESCAPE IN THE MELEE serial Ogleer TVIatt Fwts l a Gaaao Flckt, bat laablo to Hotel Them After His Injary. James Wiatt, special officer In the em ploys of the Union , Pacific railroad, was shot In the right hand and suffered a frac ture of the left leg shortly after midnight Tuesday while attempting to arrest two pickpockets who had but a short time be fore robbed E. H. Sherman, traveling rep resentative of the Rice nursery of this city, of 60 at the transfer depot. Wlatt and Sherman were coming up town on a Fifth avenue motor when the men boarded the car at Twentieth street. Sherman at once pointed the men out to Wlatt as the fellows who had robbed him. Wlatt went out on the rear platform where the men were standing and ordered them Into the car. They started to Jump off and the officer grappled them. The three fell off the car together durtDg the struggle, Wlatt making a desperate effort to keep his hold on the pickpockets, but proved no match for the two, as In the fall from the car hla left leg was broken between the knee and ankle. He maintained his hold on one of the fellows until the other man drew hla gun and fired twice In rapid succession at the officer. One of the bullets bit the officer on the back of the right band, forcing htm to release bis hold. The two fellows then made their escape In the darkness. ''While struggling with the pickpockets Wlatt called after the conductor to stop the car. Tha conductor, F. E. Moses, backed the car and with the assistance of Sherman helped Wlatt on board and brought him up town and he was removed to his home on Fourth street. During the struggle one of the thugs st hla straw hat, which waa picked up and is the only clue the police have beyond the description of the men. Conductor Moses Is of the opinion, from the actions of the men when they boarded the car, that they Intended to hold him up. Both are middle Bleed, etocky built men, wearing dark clothes. One had on a straw hat and the other a black fedora. BURGLARS LIKE WICKHAMS Pay Them Aaother Visit and This Time Assault Mr. Wlekaaaa . . r " . ... O. P. Wlckham and family of tit South Seventh street are seriously considering the advisability of constructing a moat a'round their reaidence, with a drawbridge which can be raised at night to keep burg lars from breaking in. It Is but a week ago since a burglar broke In and got away with Oeorge Wlckham'a gold watch and chain and pocketbook. At aa early hour yesterday morning another-attempt to rob the house was made, and. this time Mr. Wlckham, who grappled with the burglar, received a vicious blow on the head from a revolver In tha banda of the unwelcome visitor. After knocking Mr. Wlckham down the burglar managed to make his escape Mr. Wlckham Bleeps on the first floor and waa awakened about 4:30 o'clock by a slight noise In hla room. He at first sup posed It was a. mouse behind the' wains coating. The noise was repeated and, ralatng himself in the bed, he perceived the form of a man In the room. He at once Jumped to the floor and like a flash the burglar was on him and had seised him with one band by the throat, while with the other he pushed a revolver against Mr. Wlckham'a chest. I want money and I want It quick." , apoke the burglar in a low voice. - "Give It to me without making any outcry and I won't harm you.". Despite the fact that he felt the musxle of the revolver press ing agalnat htm through bis nightshirt. Mr. Wlckham called out as loud a he could, "I have no money."' The burglar threatened, but Mr. Wlckham kept call ing out ha had no money. The noise awoke Mrs. Wlckham, who waa sleeping on th second floor, and she called but to know If anything was the matter. The burglar pressed the revolver closer to Mr. Wlckham'a breast, saying: "Tell bar nothing Is the matter," but Mr. Wlckham kept calling out he had .no money and at tempted to wrtnch himself free from the grasp of the Intruder. One of Mr. Wlck ham' aons, Paul, was by this time awak ened, and seising - a revolver he rushed down stair to . bis father' assistance. When the burglar realised that tha entire household would be-aroused he- released his grasp from Mr. Wlckham'a throat and, raising his revolver, struck him a vicious blow on the side of the head, then rushed from the room and out Into the back yard through the kitchen door. The blow knocked Mr. Wlckham down, cut hla ear and badly bruised the aide of hla head and '.face. The family was un able to explain bow the fellow got Into the house except by using a skeleton key to the kitchen door, as all the window were found closed. Unlike the burglar last week, the visitor yesterday morning was at tall man.. Owing, to the darknesa of th room Mr. Wlckham was unable to discern the fellow's features and was un able to give any description of his be yond that he waa tall and apparently mus cular. N. V.

Order frana H. 1IEE: WEDNESDAY, HAVE SILVER .MEN SCARED Sanding Ont in the Bute to Dram Up Delegates to Convention, OLD DEMOCRAT LEADERS ARE ON HAND Bllverltes Offer a Compromise Flaak, Which the floaad Moaey Wing Will Set Accept. (From a. Staff Correspondent.) DE3 MOINES, Sept. $. (Special.) The eve of the democratlp state convention af fords little indication of what the morrow will bring. When, the delegates began to arrive today tbe fact became apparent that a great many of the old democrats who have been absent from the elate conventions for years are en hand this time and their In fluence la being thrown almost entirely against any reaffirmation of the Kansas City platform. But thla year for the first time the sllverltes are ready for a compromise. Today they distributed among the delegates a plank which they propose as follows: The democracy of Iowa in convention as sembled endorsee and reafflrma th princi ples of the last national platform, with the further declaration that intervening events have ao changed condltlone that the silver question is not now an issue. They claim that th!e should be acceptable to all factions. The free sllverltes, under the leadership of Charles A. Walsh of the national comittee, are making a firm stand for this plank. Nearly all the well known free sllverltes are for it, including J. B. Romans, Denison; Walt Butler, Des Moines; O. L. Rhinehart, Newton; 8. A. Brewster, Ottumwa; George Huffman, Des Moines Louis Murphy, Dubuque, and S. H. Lauder, Osceola. They are confident that thla plank will win out. The Eighth. Ninth and Tenth districts are nearly solid for this kind of a platform. There are counties in the other districts for It. Polk and Dubuque coun tlea, two of the strongest, are for the com promise reaffirmation plank. The state com mlttee Is for it and tbe men are working all their influence. What Opponents Bay. The opponents of any reference to the Kansas City platform are using the argu ment that If the platform ia reaffirmed no congressional district in the state can be carried. In the Third district and the Sec ond district they claim they can elect dem ocrat If the platform Is "right." The Sec ond. district delegate are BOlldly opposed to reaffirmation." They want to nominate Judge Wade for congress and he is here declaring he will not run it free silver is Indorsed. Ex-Governor Boles 1 here from Waterloo for the first time since he wa a candidate himself. He I opposed to reaffirmation and hi son will be a candidate against Hen deraon it free silver is omitted. The Fifth and Bixth and 1 Eleventh districts are atronrlr onnoaed to free silver. ' Anion those who are opposing It are Senator Lam bert and ex-Senator Johnson 'it Jackson, Judge Van Wagenen of Woodbury, James M. Parsons of Lyon, E. M. Hertert of Shelby and E. M. Sharon of Davenport. These men declare that tha party must some time get rid .of free silver aa an issue and this. a congressional year, la the time to do It. Not over 100 .delegates were present dur Ing the day, but' the factional feeling was running high, olt la anticipated the con ventlon will not be very well attended. - An effort will be made to control the platform committee through the district caucuses, but even if thi 1 done tbe plat form question will have to be fought out on the floor of the convention tomorrow. . Free Silver Mea Haatle. A caucus of free silver men was held this evening and it wa agreed that they must send out' and fetch in more delegate or they would be beaten. A committee was appointed to attend to this in every district, and by tomorrow It is expected a great many will be here from the coun try. Vp to late tonight the gold demo crats have been most conspicuous, but tbe sllverltes claim they are not yet beaten. The compromise plank which ha been suggested 1 not satisfactory to anybody. No names have been suggested for candl datea. No consideration will be given candidates until the platform Is decided upon.
