Chief Tibbits and an officer suc- ceeded in overhauling the tramps and rescu- ing young Nieman. One of the tramps, who gave the name of Andrew Anderson, was captured, but the other two succeeded in making their escape. George Nieman, who is 16 years of age, is a son of a railroad conductor and lives at 1014 Fourth street. John Fisher is two years his junior and lives at 923 Avenue C. Both are respectable and intelligent young lads. About 2 o'clock Imn the afternoon they started to go to Glibert's lake for a swim, Nieman on his bicycle, with Fisher sitting on the handle bars. They rode be- tween the tracke of the Northwestern rail- I road and nearing the end of the yards overtook three men. The men closed in upon them and prdered them to get off the bleycle, with which order the boys com- plied, although at first they thought the men were only fooling with them. The three tramps then ordered Nieman to walk ahead with the bicycle and young Fisher to follow him, 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 them to climb the hill alongside of the track. Nieman expostulated, saying he could not di his wheel up the bluff, and one of the men selzed the bicycle and threw it Into the weeds and ordered the boy to climb without it.

Fisher then ran back to town and notified the police. Other Men at Liberty. Anderson was captured near Wickam's sandbank, but the other two made their es- cape. Chief Tibbits returned to the city with Anderson, while Captain Maltby, ac- companied by young, Nieman and Officer Lorenzen, swho had jolned the party, con- tinued the eearch for the other two men. At 11 o'clock last night word was re- ceived from Captain Maltby that they had . will be ordered.

BEARDSHEAR GROWS WORSE ident of lowa Agricultural Cel- lege Rests Poorly and I PLATFORM IS CHIEF TOPIC Towa Rapublioans Give'More Attention to it Than to Oandidates, LIKELY TO REAFFIRM ONE OF LAST YEAR Fight Against it, is Voted Down in His Own Dele- gation, bat Will Carry it to Convention. (From a Staft Correspondent.) DES MOINES, July 29.—(Special.)—The eve of the conveition for the nomination of a republican state ticket finds the dele- gates who are gathered here concerned chiefly over the matter of disposal of places on the committees. More interest has been taken, in choosing members of the state committee and of the committee that will make the platform than in selection of a state ticket. It is certaln, 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 is monopolized 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 they are demanding its re-enactiom. They say that to change the platform in any radical way would be to repudiate,Cum- mins. The members of the committee from the Second, Fourth, Seventh, Ninth, Tenth and Eleventh distriets 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 Albia. In the Ninth H. W. Byers of Harlan has no opposition. The Tenth and Eleventh will be represented by George E. Roberts and ex-Senator A. B. nk. Cummins Wins Out. A rcaucus of the delegates from Polk county to the state convention was held this evening and it was regarded as a test of strength on tariff revision as between the friends of Governor Cummins and his op- ponents. Cummins men controlled the caucus and' compelled the withdrawal of Lafe Young, who was seeking a place on the resolutions committee. The district will select Senator Berry of Warren county and Young will be chairman of the Polk county delegation. Young will carry his opposition to the tarift reform plank to the floor of the convention and make a fight for it there. A mean fight s developing in the Ninth district on member of the state committee. Senator Bruce of Cass desires re-election, but is opposed by J. 8. 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 previously agreed that the Pottawaltamie delegation should divide between Bruce and Dewell. If it should so divide it would elect Bruce. Now it is discovered that the Cass delegation i not entirely loyal to Bruce.
