"Second—That the temporary secretary be made permanent secretary of this convention. "Third—That Charles F. Roe be made assistant secretary 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 86 delegates and 86 alternates to attend the Montana state democratic convention to be held at the city of Great Falls on May 17, 1904." The roll was then called and the report of the committee on credentials was accepted. The chair then appointed the following committee, which will select the delegates to the state convention: W. B. Daly, M. P. Gilchrist, Mike Peters, P. J. Sullivan, Joe Riley, Harry Riley and Maurice Hartnett. A slate of the delegates to be sent to Great Falls had been perfected previous to the convention, but its promoters met a snag somewhere, and the result was that the slate was smashed to smithereens and the matter of selecting delegates was left entirely with the committee of seven appointed for that purpose. Those behind the slate were Clark's friends, and it was taken to mean that none but those delegates favorable to that gentleman would be selected. As it is, the committee selecting tne [sic] delegates has upon it declared friends of Clark, and there is a faint possibility that he will go as alternate to Senator Clark.

BRACE HAS A SUIT FOR DAMAGES ## For Alleged Injuries at Hands of Two Railway Companies. Sidney Y. Brace began suit against the Great Northern and the Montana Central Railway companies today in the district court to recover $20,000 for damages alleged to have been caused by him being struck by an engine. The complaint states that Brace was driving along the highway from the Minnie Healy mine to Butte, and that at the railroad crossing near the Montana Ore Purchasing company's smelter an engine and a long string of cars dashed over the crossing without ringing the bell or whistling. The engine struck Brace's team and the horses were killed. The wagon was turned over and demolished, and Brace was thrown violently to the ground. The accident happened November 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 crippled. He states in the complaint that he has expended $70 for medical attendance and that he continues to suffer great bodily pain from the injury so received. He adds that the injury to his back and spine caused by his being thrown to the ground violently cannot be cured. C. P. Drennan is his attorney. # PRESS DELEGATION TO THE FAIR EN ROUTE ## Carload of Newspapermen and Families From Montana. SPECIAL TO THE INTER MOUNTAIN. Billings, May 14.—The special train carrying the members of the Montana Press association to the World's fair at St. Louis passed through this city over the Burlington road this morning. There were about 45 members of the association in the party, most of them with their ladies. Harry Yeager and wife of Helena and Daniel Searles of Butte were the only members scheduled to go with the party who were not on the car. The delegation is in charge of Vice President J. S. Dobell, who will look after the interests of the members on the way to the World's Fair city, and during their stay in St. Louis. Secretary Walter Aitkin of Livingston will accompany the party as far east as Newcastle, Wyo., then returning home, it being impossible for him now to go on to St. Louis. It is expected that the party will arrive in St. Louis in time to be present at the World's Fair press congress, which opens at the fair grounds on May 17. The Montana delegation will be quartered at the Inside Inn while at the fair. The Burlington train was held here for an hour this morning to await the arrival of Northern Pacific train No. 2, which brought a number of members of the association to join the delegation. Edwin Soles of the Inter Mountain was the only member of the party from Butte.

SPECIAL TO THE INTER MOUNTAIN. Anaconda, May 14.—The investigation of the clothing and pockets of Bridger Williams, drowned in Georgetown lake with May Wright, proved that he had about $48 in his pockets.

The large amount could not be found by the coroner and his jury called to hold an inquest over Williams' remains. A gold watch was also found.

Kinerk, Theodore Klassin, Ed. Duffy, Robert Lindberg, Charles Hardtla and M. F. Linehan.

The heart of the display which receives so much notice is made prominent by two little "coons," one a boy, the other a girl, busy in the art of making "googoo' eyes at each other. # YALE BALL TEAM VICTORIOUS SPECIAL TO THE INTER MOUNTAIN.
