" Thinks Nomination of Cox Was Seri ous Mistake on JPart Democratic Convention . i i: (By Associated Press) : ; SAN FRANCISCO, July 6. "My heart is in the grave with our cause, and I must pause until it comes back to me," said William Jennings Bryan today in giving his reason for not making any extended statement on the work. of the democratic na tional convention. l "My views on the convention's ac tion in reference to the endorsement of prohibition are known," said Mr. Bryan.

W.-' Richardson, the' .next two highest men, should , be declared elected. There were several present who were of the opinion ' that the Primary law made it possible to elect them, among these being A. D. Ward. Mr. Ward stated that he was appear ing merely as a citizen and that he was of, the opinion, that a third pri mary was unnecessary, and that the two next highest to Mr. . Warren should be elected. ,, . . " Among those present were a num ber who were opposed to this. O. A. Kafer, one of the high candidates, was against the plan,, as was A. A. Kafer, - a member of the canvassing board, G. A. Whitford and J. L. Bland, the latter two demanding a third primary. " Argument Galore Col. P. M. Pearsall frankly Btated that the argument was so mixed up that he could not clearly understand every point which the speakers were endeavoring to make. Some of those present were of the opinion , that the vote ; cast for; the sheriff should be taken j as a medium upon which, to base : the majority vote of the commissioners, while others declared that the sheriff's vote had nothing to do with that cast for commissioner. In order to - straighten out the matter to the satisfaction of all and determine whether there should be a third primary or whether Kafer and Richardson should also be declared elected, Col. Pearsall sent a telegram of Inquiry to the state board of elec tions, stating the case as it stood and asking whether a third primary should be called. , ' . . At this juncture a recess was taken until late thisafternooni, at which time, Jt is hoped, the matter can be definitely settled. BOLSHEVIK FORCE CUT TO PIECES IN SOUTHERN RUSSIA Eighteen .'

As the constitution and statutes stand they are the expressed mandate of the people and must be re- spected : by public officers and citizens as long as they remain.

The mystery as to whyyf "Buster;" a playful anL, plfiasanfcdftg half bull, half hound, whose owner is unknown, should unceasingly keep vigil watch over a-deserted well on' the farm of Thomas Crossan Proof Line road, Just a short distance .north of the fourth concession, has . not yet been solved.

It was sober in expression and looked in his face in an appealing manner. axammaiion or ine covering or me well, old - planks, revealed nothing, and a day or two later curiosity had been aroused to such an extent that the. covering of the . hole was lifted, but there was nothing but filthy water to be Been. '- Well Long Out of Use. For , many, many years no pump had drawn water from the depths of the brlcked-in well. Years of idle ness had seen twenty-five feet of its forty-feet depth filled in with , ac cumnlated rubbish. Just a few feet to the south is the crumbling foun dation of the old Schwartz Hotel, with weeds and brushwood seeking to prevent the landmark being obljt- eratea. ..; The dog continued to hold its po sition. By day and night, through sun and rain, it stayed on guard Food was brought to it and it ate. So attached to the dog did the members of Mr. Crossan's family become they named it "Buster." v What was In the well? What should hold the dog to keep watch with such faithful ness.; v V County Constable Arthur Corsaut was notified of the animal's strange actions. Finally v the waters were dragged. , Nothing but rotten pieces of wood and rubbish were secured. At this time the planking on the top of the well was disturbed, and "Bus ter" did' not seem to like it. f Companion Found for "Buster." For the first time, then, did' he leave his post and, coaxed by offers of food and a little dog to play with, "Buster" went to the Crossan home, At- once he struck friendship with his black-haired companion, and they began to romp and play. But at regular intervals a strange feeling seemed to grip the animal, and he would journey to the , well, which had now been covered with big logs and limbs of trees to pre vent any one falling in. For a moment or two he would sniff around and peer through an opening here and there and then dash back to his foster home, ap parently believing the secret was still safe. Those humans would not gain his secret, even thotfgh they did use every means at their disposal. "Buster" Was Still There. Came a day when two press repre sentatives journeyed to the well of mystery and removed some of the logs and brush to look in. The dog was there, too. He sniffed the air . . . , and, when near the opening where he had kept guard so long, an expres - sion of disapproval spread, over his countenance. t "Buster rested, as it were, a mo- mem, wua ms lorepaws uauB.us "vcl the top of the well, and then made a quick dash, skirted around it andno old foundation and trotted home. From whence the dog came no one knows. He is tan and white in color and has, without doubt, been well fed. for he is in nrime " condition. i Buster" will be given a home at Mr. ;J Crossan's until some further ? light is shed on the situation and possibly the dog's owner discovered. - STRAY DOG GUARDS Cox Nominated as Dem ocratic Standard Bearer On The Forty-Fourth Ballot. ; DEADLOCKBROKEN DURING THE NIGHT J o x Gained Largely Over McAdoo Upon ; Withdrawal of .
