Wiatt and Sherman were coming up town on a Fifth avenue motor when the men boarded the car at Twentleth street. Sherman at once pointed the men out to Wiatt as the fellows who had robbed him. Wiatt went out on the rear platform where the men were standing and ordered them Inte the car. They started to Jump off and the officer grappled them. The three fell off the car together during the struggle, Wiatt making a desperate effort to keep his hold on the pickpockets, but proved mo match for the two, as in the fall from the car his left leg was broken between the knee and ankle. E He maintained his hold on one of the fellows until the other man drew his gun and fired twice in rapld succession at the officer. One of the bullets hit the officer on the back of the right hand, forcing him to release bis hold. The two fellows then made their escape in the darkness. hile struggling with the plckpockets ‘Wiatt called after the conductor to stop the car. The conductor, F. E.

HAVE SILVER MEN SCARED Sending Out in the Btate to Drum Up Delegates to Oonventions, OLD DEMOCRAT LEADERS ARE ON HAND Silverites Offer n Compromise Plank, Which the Sound Momey Wing Wil Net Accept. (From a, Staft Correspondent.) DES MOINES, Sept. 2.—(Speclal.)—The eve of the democratip state convention af- fords little indication of what the morrow will bring. When, the delegates began to rive today the fact became apparent that a great many of the old democrats who b been absent from the state conventions for years are on hand this time and their in- fluence I8 bel: thrown almost entirely against any reaffirmation of the Kansas City platform. But: this year for the first time the silverites are ready for a compromise. Today they distributed among the delegates a plank which they propose as follows: The democracy of Towa In convention as- sembled endorses and reaffirms the princi- ples of the last national platform, with the further declaration that intervening events. have so changed conditions that the silver question is not now an issue. They claim that th's should be acceptable to all factions. The free silverites, 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 silverites are for it, including J. B. Romans, Denison; Walt Butler, Des Moines; G. L. Rhinehart, Newton; 8. A. Brewster, Ottumwa; George Huffman, Des Moines; Louis Murphy, Dubuque, and 8. H, Lauder, Osceola. They are confident that this 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 distriets for it. Polk and Dubuque coun- ties, {wo of the strongest, are for the com- promise reafirmation plank. The state com- mittee 1s for it and the men are working all their influence. What Opponents Say. The opponents of any reference to ths Kansas City platform are using the argu- ment that if the platform is reafirmed no congressional district in the state can be carried. In the Third district and the Sec- ond district they claim they can elcct dem- ocrats If the platform is “right.” The Sec- ond district delegates are solidly opposed to reafirmation. They want to nominate Judge Wade for congress and he is here declaring he will not run it free stiver Is indorsed, Ex-Governor Boles {s here from Waterloo for the first time since he a candidate himself. He s opposed to reafiirmation and his son will be a candidate against Hen- derson it free silver is omitted. The Fifth and Bixth and ' Eleventh districts & atrongly oppomed to free silver. Amon those who are dpposing it are Sepator Lam- bert and ex-Semator Johnson ‘ot Jackson Judge Van Wagenen of Woodbury, Jam M. Parsons of Lyon, E. M. Hertert of Shelby and E. M. Sharon of Davenport. These men declare that the party must some time get rid of free silver as an issue and thi a congressional year, is the time to do it. Not over 100.delegates were present dur- ing the day, biit'the factional feeling w running high. 51t s gnticipated the con- vention will tot be very attended. An effort will be made’to control the platform committee through the district caucuses, but ‘¢ven if this is done the plat- form question will have to be fought out on the floor of the convention tomorrow. Free Silyer Men Hustle. A caucus of free silver men was held this evening and it was agreed that they must send out'and fetch In more delegates 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. Up to late tonight the gold demo- crats have been most conepicuous, but the silverites claim they are not yet beaten. The compromise plank which has been suggested s not satisfactory to anybody. No names have been suggested for candi- dates. 0 comsideration will be given candidates until the platform is deeided upon. lowa Crop Comditions, Crop bulletin of the Towa section of the climate and erop service of the Weather bureau for week ending September 1, 1602: The average temperature of the last week was slightly below normal.
