IDAHO FUGITIVES GIVE UP
Cattle Thieves Surrender to Deputy
Sheriffs.
LEWIPTON, Idaho. Aug. . (Special. )
Two of the Idaho cattle rustlers,
wounded, footsore and weary from being
chased two days by Idaho deputy sher
iffs "and posses through the timber of
the Upper Clearwater- brakes, surren
dered yesterday without fighting, and the
third one. V. P. Reld, the man with a
record and a price on his head, is either
dead or dying from the loss of blood
and lack of food, or is by the ruse of
this surrender making his getaway xover
well-known trails to the Montana side
of the Bitter Root. .
Opinion at Oroflno is equally divided
on the question of what has happened
to Reld. Sloan and Rice, who surren
dered to Deputy Sheriff A. B. Masters
today, say that they last saw Reld Mon
day night, when, weak from the loss of
blood, he turned back and told them to
save themselves, that he was done for
and must have medical help.
But Reid's horse was found in Cooper's
pasture. 14 miles from Oroflno, today,
showing evidence of being hard ridden,
with blood on its mane and shoulders,
showing that the rider was bleeding
badly. The saddle was gone and the
supposition Is- that he got a fresh horse
here and is on his way over the moun
tain trails.
Sloan Is wounded in the neck below
the chin and gives out the report that
Reid's right forearm was practically shot
away by the bullet from Dan Carr's
rifle in Monday afternoon's fight at the
spring.

ERICKSON ASKS LICENSE.
Clackamas Tavern Petition ' Makes
Distinction Between Liquors..
OREGON CITY. Or.. Aug. 6.-Speclal.)
The residents of Abernethy precinct,
which embraces the towns of Gladstone
and Parkplace. are very much wrought
up over the petition of August Erickson
for a license to sell beer at the Clack
amas Tavern. Erickson formerly op
erated a stock farm there, but after dis
posing of his concert hall in the North
End of Portland, he established a resort,
and runs his big automobile between Ore
gon City and the tavern, and also takes
his patrons to and from the cars that
run out from Portland.
Last year he filed notice of his inten
tion to ask for a liquor license, but the
storm of Indignation was so great that
the petition was never presented to the
County Court. This time he states that
his only desire is to sell beer, and not
strong drinks like whisky. The petition
of Erickson has been signed by a large
number of people, but a remonstrance
will no doubt be presented to the court at
the September term.

Credentials Committee.
DUBOIS' PLEA FOR ORDER
Will Investigate Assessment for Re
cent Improvement and May Fight
Payment in Court.
At a largely attended meeting of property-owners
on East Taylor street, held
Wednesday night at the home of George
H. Beazan, 1100 East Taylor street. It was
decided to investigate the assessment
made for the Improvement of that thor
oughfare, between East Thirty-fourth
and East Forty-fifth streets, and look
into the character of the work done. In
order to carry out this plan, every property-owner
present signed an agreement
to pay his share of the expense and
others not present will be asked to sign
the agreement. Ralph C. Duniway will
be engaged to handle the case, for the
property-owners. The case may not be
taken into court, although this may be
the result tf the investigation should
show that the assessment is unfair or
that the improvement was not according
to specifications.
Anton Gtebisch, of the firm of Gleblsch
& Joplin, asserted that the contract price
was reasonable for crushed macadam and
concrete sidewalks. He. declared that no
contractor could do the work for less.
He asked In what way the Improvement
was defective, and said he was willing
to put more top gravel on the street and
have it sprinkled and rolled to a com
pact surface. Mr. Gleblsch agreed to
show his specifications to the property
owners at another meeting tonight.
The property-owners expressed them
selves as very indignant over the shabby
treatment they say they received at the
office of the City Engineer, where sev
eral went to get information, but were
turned away empty-handed.- They also
expressed bitterness over the scant at
tention their remonstrance received.
There was talk at the meeting last night
of joining hands with the North Albina
people and . using the recall. Another
meeting will be held tonight at the same
place. Meanwhile the contractors iwill
go ahead and have' a top dressing, put
on and the street rolled. -
Usual Convention Sparring for Ad
vantage Indulged in at Wal
lace Platform May De
clare for Prohibition.
WALLACE. Idaho. Aug. . At 8:45 last
evening deliberations of the credentials
committee of the Idaho state Democratic
convention came to a close, with the
result that the pro-Dubols delegation
from Fremont and Oneida counties was
seated by a vote of 9 to 12, the Dubols
Binghara delegation was seated by a
vote of 9 to 11 and the Dubois-Bear Lake
delegation by a vote of 10 'to 11, while
the antl-Dubois delegation from Ada
County was seated by a vote of 12 to 10.
In connection with the last named
two votes were cast. The first was,
on motion of C. H. Jackson, of
Shoshone County, -to the effect that
both delegations be refused seats. The
vote on this was 11 to 11 and the
casting vote was made in favor of
anti-Dubois delegations by the chair
man of the committee. In connection
with the Bingham vote. Chairman
Walker did -not vote.
No definite report has yet been is
sued by the committee on permanent
organization, but it is certain that A. L.
Freehafer, of Washington County, and
J. W. Constance, of Shoshone County,
will be permanent chairman and sec
retary respectively.
In connection with the platform com
mittee little of the deliberations are yet
known beyond the fact that, a subcom
mittee of six consisting of Dr. Whitewell.
of Lemhi; O. E. Snyder, of Lincoln; J.
W. Llewellyn, of Latah: W. W. Brown,
of Idaho: Earl Sanders, of Kootenai, and
Fred Mosely, of Bingham, have been ap
pointed to draw up suggestions, and It is
understood will propose a strong local
option plank or possibly prohibition.
As anti-Dubols men have agreed to
stand as a unit In connection with the
report of the credentials committee, there
Is now no doubt but that the two parties
will split tomorrow as soon as the re
port has been adopted.
The convention adjourned until 10
o'clock this morning.
When the convention was called to or
der Glenn P. McKinley was elected tenw
porary chairman without opposition, the
antl-Dubois faction having decided at an
early morning caucus to submit under
protest to the temporary organization
proposed by the State Central Committee,
and to present their contests to the cre
dentials committee, appealing to the con
vention for fair treatment. If this is de
nied, the convention will undoubtedly
split.
The antl-Dubois delegates took no part
In the proceedings of the convention, but
remained quietly in their eeats except to
enter formal protests. Chairman McKin
ley ruled the protestants off the floor, but
entered the protests. The usual commit
tees were appointed and the convention
adjourned until S o'clock.

LOOK ALIKE TO HARRIMAN
Says Taft and Bryan Are Same to
Railroads.
OGDEN, Utah., Aug. 6.-Edward H.
Harriman. who passed through here yes
terday afternoon on his way to his estate
in Oregon for several weeks' fishing and
rest, was asked If there was any truth
in the current rumor that he had, or in
tended to obtain control of the Gould
railroad properties. Mr. Harriman hesi
tated for a moment, then Said:
"I have, of course, heard these rumors,
but there Is nothing to them. It is true
that recently the system which I now
control obligated itself to meet a certain
indebtedness of the Gould properties, but
personally I was only an Incident to the
transaction. There Is nothing to the re
port that I am to meet representatives of
the Gould railroad holdings in Salt Lake
or any other place, to discuss the mat
ter." Talking of the political situation, Mr.
Harriman said:
"The election of Mr. Taft or Mr. Bryan
would not in the least affect the railroads
of the country, because the policies of the
Republican and Democratic parties in the
prosecution of railroads which violate the
law are Identical."
