backward on the porch, striking heav-

he got up and said lie felt no pain.
Saturday night Edison went home
to Orange, N. .1.. feeling sore and stiff,

Two Thousand Delegates Present at the
Denver Conference— No Side Issues.
Denver, Col., June 27 —Standing
room was at a premium in the Broad-
way theater when the Republican Na-
tional league convention assembled to-
day. The number of strangers in the
city is estimated at 6,000, of whom
about one-third are delegates.
The committee on resolutions, the
members of which are appointed by
the states, held a caucus to-day which
developed a strong majority in favor of
frowning down all side issues, such as
free coinage of silver at 16 to 1 and
woman suffrage. The committee so
far as it is made up, and it is
nearly complete, is considered
safe and conservative, which means
that it will practically reiterate
the declaration of the Minneapolis
platform. Nevertheless it is the in-
tention of dele Rations from silver
states to make a fight in the conven-
tion for a de.dii ration in favor of free
coinage. Judge C. C. Goodwin, of Salt
Lake city, is expected to lead the at-
tack.
The New York delegation is pushing
Col. E. A. McAlpin for the presidency,
but the Illinois delegation insists that
President W. W. Tracy shall have a
second term.
At 10 o'clock the delegates began to
assemble. Rev. Dr. ICerr B. Tupper,
of the First Baptist church of Denver,
offered prayer. President Tracey then
introduced F. ('. Goudy, president of
the State Republican league, of Col-
orado, who welcomed the delegates to
Denver and the state. After a song
President \Y. W. Tracey, of Spring-
tield. 111., delivered his annual address.
Before adjournment a motion was
adopted that the president and secre-
tary be authorized to prepare and
transmit to Mine. Carnot and the re-
public of France the sense of the league
yfi the assassination of President Car-
not. It was carried without a dissent-
iiK ' voice.
Extra Appropriations Necessary.
Washington, June 27. A resolution
will be presented to congress extend-
ing the present appropriations thirty
days, as it is impossible to get any of
the regular appropriation bills through
before July I. Senator Cockrell, chair-
man of the senate committee on appro-
priations. favors a resolution which
will continue the present appropria*
tions until each new appropriation vi
passed. He thinks such an elastic re so
lution can be framed.
Train Robbers In Georgia.
Savannah, Ga.. June 27. Train No.

press Co.'s safe was blown open with

Thomas Withers and Robert Blllingsly
the Men Who Did the Shooting
Now in the Hands of the Offi-
cers. A Coroner's Jury
Impaneled.
I The community at Enid station was
\ startled Tuesday night by the terrible
news that Constable Hutchinson had
been killed. And as the full details
of the deplorable occurrence were
made known to the public, the general
verdict of the citizens was that it is
an unfortunate occurrence that is
the direct result of too many men be-
ing permitted to carry dangerous
weapons when it would be much safer
for the community to disarm very
many of these otllcers who claim they
are carrying weapons for the safety
of the public peace and the preserva-
tion of good order.
The indirect cause of this death or
the circumstances leading up to it
were a difficulty existing between
Constable Hutchinson and the man-
agers of the ice plant at the station.
For several months the unfortunate
man has been selling ice for the
managers of the ice plant, but for
several days some controversy has
existed over the matter, and Hutch-
inson was informed that they would
deliver him no more ice.
The action of the ice plant men
incensed Hutchinson and it is said he j
has made threats which certainly
alarmed those who had incurred his
enmity. Tuesday evening between 8
and !) lie had a personal encounter
with S. J. Smallwood of the ice
plant and when he was again refused
ice he became violent and his revolver
took an important part in 'the ice
dispute. The ice men became
alarmed at the situation and ap-
pealed to the police court for pro-
tection.
Police Judge Blair instructed
Deputy Marshal Witthers to see that
Constable Hutchinson was disarmed.
Witthers called to his assistance
Night Policeman Billingsley and
together they started out in search
of the unfortunate man. William
Brown, a deputy United States mar-
shal was also asked to assist but
volunteered to make the arrest alone
provided he was furnished a warrant
from the judge. He, however, went
along but took no part in the terrible
affair.
The men found Constable Hutchin-
son at the corner of First street on
the east side while he was talking to
J. B. Carson, justice of the peace. It
was about !>:00 in the evening and the
darkness of the early night prevented
those who are important witnesses
of the dreadful occurance from being
certain regarding the exact details
of the affair.
placed in charge of Undertaker J. A.
Hamin during the night and duly
turned over to the coroner this morn-
ing.
In a brief interview with Police
Judge R. W. Blair, the following
facts were learned; Constable Hutch-
inson had been drinking during the
day. During the evening while the
council were in session one of the
superintendents of the Ice plant came
into the room very excited stating
that Hutchinson was threating citi-
zens and was unfit to attend to the
duties of his position. The ice plant
man wanted to Hie a complaint but
Police Judge Blair stated no time
should be lost in filing complaints
when a man was on the street threat-
ening and shooting, for the first
duty is to protect citizens. He then
turned to Witthers who had just
been contirmed deputy marshal and
told him to go down and disarm
Constable Hutchinson. Witthers
instructions from the police judge
were, "if he acts quiet, let him go
home but if he acts ugly about it
bring him up here, but disarm him."
Mr. Blair also states that about
lifteen minutes laterhe heard several
shots and possibly ten minutes later
Billingsley1'and Witthers came in and
gave themselves up. The judge
heard their statements regarding
the unfortunate occurance and re-
leased them on their own recogniz-
ance that they would appear at nine
o'clock this morning. Both men
appeared at the appointed hour
ready to answer any charge that
might be made against them. Blair
says also both men who are mixed
up in the affair are men of steady
habits and quiet respectable citizens.
This sad tragedy is greatly to he
deplored but I don't see what the men
could have done under the circum-
stances.
Robert Nisbitt Hutchinson was
born in Glasgow, Scotland, April 20,
184", and was forty-seven years of
age last April. When seven years of
age he came to America with his
parents and settled at Milwaukee,
Wisconsin, but afterwards moved to
Caledonia. He was married to Anna
Binnie, March ti, 1871, and lived in
Chicago for seven years, on west side.
They moved to Kansas jn spring 1879
and settled in Grego county but af-
terward lived one year in St Louis.
Upon returning to Kansas they lived
in Trego county and resided also five
years at Dodge City. He came to
the Cherokee Strip at the opening
and last November was appointed
constable, his family removing here
in February. Mr. Hutchinson leaves
a wife and son Robert aged J2. The
deceased was a kind and affectionate
man in his family circle and was gen-
erally considered a good clever citi-
zen and his death is greatly deplored
by the entire community.
Coroner Fields took charge of the
case Wednesday morning and held an
inquest. The jury empanelled was
