# DEMOCRATIC COUNTY CONVENTION IN SESSION *(Continued from Page One)* women organization and order of business, announced as follows: "First—That J. F. Harvey, chairman, be made permanent chairman. "Second—That the temporary secretary be made permanent secretary of this convention. "Third—That Charles F. Roe be made sergeant-at-arms of this convention. "Fourth—We recommend the following order of business: "Report of committee on credentials; also that a committee of seven delegates be appointed by the chair to select 36 delegates and 36 alternates to attend the Montana state democratic convention to be held in the city of Great Falls on June 17, 1904." The roll was then called and the report of the committee on credentials was adopted. Chairman Harvey then appointed a sub-committee, which will select the delegates to the state convention. W. B. Daly, M. P. Gilchrist, Mike Farrow, T. J. Collins, Joe Erickson, C. Riley and Maurice Harnett. A slate of the delegates to be sent to Great Falls had been prefaced previous to the convention, but its promoters met a snag somewhere, and the result was that the slate was practically abandoned, and the matter of selecting delegates was left entirely with the sub-committee just appointed for that purpose. The "abandoned" slate was Clark's friends, and it was taken to mean that none but those who were favorable to that gentleman would be selected. As it is, the sub-committee was supposed to be upon it declared friends of Clark, and as a result it is expected that the state convention delegates will be so.

BRACE HAS A SUIT FOR DAMAGES ### For Alleged Injuries at Hands of Two Railway Companies. Sidney Y. Brace has a suit against the Great Northern and the Montana Central railway companies. He is asking the court to recover $10,000 for damages arising from injuries received when he was struck by an engine. His complaint shows that Brace was driving along the highway from the Missoula road near the Montana One railroad crossing near the Montana One farm. His horses were struck by a train and a lyre string of cars dashed over the team, throwing Brace to the ground. The engine struck Brace's team and the horses were killed. The wagon was turned over and the plaintiff was thrown therefrom violently to the ground. The accident occurred December 14, 1903, and the plaintiff avers that since that time he has been unable to attend to his business and that he has been permanently injured. He claims that the plaintiff [sic] has expended $50 for medical attendance and that he spent much time recovering from the injury then received. He adds that the injury to his back is a permanent one and that being thrown to the ground violently caused it. He names: C. P. Donovan is his attorney. ## PRESS DELEGATION TO THE FAIR EN ROUTE ### Carload of Newspapermen and Families Going to St. Louis. SPECIAL TO THE INTER MOUNTAIN.

Poor food will, daily, open the door for disease. Scott's Emulsion bars the way. Makes the blood richer, produces healthy flesh and above all provides nourishment. *We'll send you a sample free upon request.* SCOTT & BOWNE, 409 Pearl Street, New York. --- ## Column 2 # ANACONDA NEWS BUREAU Office 109 E.
