Had Refused to Jump From Swiftly Moving Freight Train. Brakeman. Dashes Him to- the Bails I and. BoiLegs Are Torn. Fpom-t. , t !.'. ff Body-r Cannot- Survive; ' - ' Special to Tho Tribune. OGDEN. June 5. A shocking story comes from the little village of Roy, on the RIo Grande, about ten miles out of Ogden. James Iynch, in a dying statement, charges a Rio Grande brakeman with having deliberately thrown him be tween the cars ' of a rapidly moving freight train, as a result of which both legs were cut off near the hips. Detect ives and Sheriffs are now looking for the brakeman, and he is likely to have to face tho charge of murder in the llrst degree, as Lynch cannot recover. Lynch was brought- to Ogden today and taken to the hospital, where every attention is being given him. Judge Howell went to the hospital immediately and took the man's dying statement. Lynch had just been released from the city Jail, where he had been serv ing time for vagrancy. In company with a man whom Lynch knew as "Dad" Murphy, he accosted a brake having dellverntely thrown him be G2 and asked for a ride. The brakeman wanted 50 cents per head, but the men did not have the money and when the train pulled out they crawled into an overhead Icebox in a refrigerator car. The brakeman discovered them and fired a bullet from a pistol through the floor, but did not hit them- The men then crawled from their hiding place and the brakeman urged them lo Jump off, but they insisted that the train was running too fast, whereupon the- brake man seized Lynch and threw him be tween the cars. He fell across the rail, both legs being cut off near the hips. Lynch says that as he fell he heard the brakeman exclaim: "Oh, I am sorry!" Then ho says he lost conscious ness. A pasHongor train came along and picked him up and he was brought to 'Ogden. Sheriff Bailey went to Salt Lake this afternoon In an endeavor to locate Dad Murphy, the man who was with Lynch when the trouble occurred. The Sher iff did not llnd his mmi and expresses tho opinion that the train crew took Murphy through out of the country. The brakeman was not arrested, but will probably be tomorrow. The Sheriff knows the bmlteuian's name, but declines to give it out until' tho arrest la made. During the time that Judge Howell was taking Lynch'fi ante-mortem state ment, Lynch admitted that his name was not Lynch and told the Judge that he would not reveal it before the spec tators, as he did not want It to get into tho newspapers Ho doert not want his relatives to know anything about It with the exception of one .sister, and asked the Judge to pledge himself not lo reveal his true name, as hi wanted to tell him what It was that he might write to his sister and explain the clr cunistnnces. At midnight tonight Lynch'a condition had changed but lit tle and the doctors hold out no hope for his recovery. Liberty Boll Leaves Milwaukee. MILWAUKEE, June 5.

Important Caucus Held Sunday Night, Temporary Officers Selected , and Plans Agreed On. Special to The Tribune. WEISER, Ida., June 5. Delegates to the Democratic State convention that meets in this city tomorrow are arriving on every train. About one hundred have already ar rived and as many more are expected on the night trains. Much Interest is manifested In to morrow's proceedings. Senator Dubois is hero as a delegate, and will Intro duce an anti-Mormon resolution. Today's train from the west brought thirty out of ninety-six delegates from the five northern counties to the Dem ocratic State convention. All were agreeable on the principal issues, such as mild Instructions for Hearst, pro Mormon resolutions and Keitfeld for anything he wants, including national committeeman or later for Governor. Prominently mentioned for delegates tonight are Dubois of Bingham. Helt feld of Nez Perce, Donnelly of Koote nai, Rallentyne of Blaine. Perky of Ada, Hawley of Ada. Steunenberg of Canon, Woods of Shoshone and Hunt of Ada. Many Hearst enthusiasts would in struct for him, but the Parker senti ment, being also strong, best authori ties agree, that there will be an unln structed delegation. Ex-Senator George Turner of Wash ington State will receive compliment ary endorsement for Vice-President. Prominent candidates for Governor are here In the. nerspriR of. JTeltfpJd, who ol--Tndy "orty-turec!--"MCawi id'iho' convention nt Lcvrlstun, August 35. in structed for him; Hawley. who Is the Mayor of Boise, and who has a strong following in the sduthcast, and Ballan tyne of Blaine, who is popular with the former Populist and Silver Republican who is yet but a receptive candidate spoken of. From present appearances the Hearst delegates arc In the majority. The convention will be called to order by Hon. SI Donnelly of Kootenai coun ty, chairman of the State central com mittee. Rode 270 Miles for Proxy. The Mormon contingent and their friends held u caucus, presided over by C. Moore, who has no certificate of election to the convention, but who rode 270 miles on horseback from Coun cil to White Bird and procured a proxy, which will be the only bone of conten tion for the credential committee. The Hearst caucus Just adjourned was presided over by E. F. Walter of Ada. John St. Clair of Owyhee was secretary. The principal speeches were made by Nugent of Owyhee, Palno of Ada and Sovereign of Shoshone. The da nous claims to represent J33 votes. The proposition submitted by the caucus composed of Mormons and sym pathizers from Fremont, Bear Lake, Oneida and parts 'of Bannock, Custer, Lemhi, Lincoln, Blaine arid Cassia, to deliver 100 votes to Hqarst If the Hearst mon will lrfat thi AHn nrmrifv rncnln. tlons, was unanimously voted down by the Hearst caucus, Tho Hearst caucus will meet at 10 o'clock tomorrow and the convention at 11 o'clock. It now looks like mild resolutions for Hearst, the Ada county resolution on the Mormon question, and. a delegation of Dubois. Holtreld, Woods, Ballantyne, Perky and Rega of Ada. The Mormon caucus has three ob jects In view; one to defeat the Dubois resolutions, another to defeat Dubois as a delegate and the lattor to defeat ex-Governor Hunt as a delegate to St. Louis. Hunt has no particular constituency and it is believed this desire will be the only one of the three they will ac complish. S. P. Donnelly will probably bo tho National committeeman. i Important Caucus Held. A caucus of delegate representing 1.13 votes out of the nocessany 347 to control was held tonight. Hon. S. P. Donnelly, chairman of the State com mittee, presided and C. II. Jackson act ed as secretary. Tho caucus determined on Hon, John B, Goode of Kootenai for temporary chairman and ICarl Paine of Boise as secretary. Senator Dubois moved that it be the sense of the caucus that the Ada county resolutions be ndopted by the resolution committee nnd by the convention to morrow. After a liberal discussion by J. R. Sovereign of Shoshone county, Lafe Pence and A. A. Froser of Ada county. H. L. Lncklln of Cassia county and Steve Dempsoy of Canyon county, the Dubois motion prevailed with but one dissenting vote. Oh motion Lycurgus Vineyard of Ida ho county, the convention was Instruct ed to declare for the Kansas City plat form. Senator Dubois moved that the delegation to bo elected to the National convention be Instructed to vote for no one for President who did not support Bryan loyally in 139C and 1900, Dubois Is In full' control of the con vention and la urging moderation by those who wish to pass a disfranchise ment resolution, but standing firmly for resolutions for effective restrictive laws against polygamy and illegal co-, habitation, fcoth National and State. Perdicaris and Map of Place ' Where He Is Held Prisoner Would Like Our Warships to Withdraw Franco Fears Complications May Arise by U. S. Fighting- Machines Remaining: at Tangier. PARIS. June 5, It is understood that France adopted a view favoring the withdrawal of some of the American warships now at,' Tan gier. The presence of the American ships there 'has had" the effect of at tracting ships of other nationalities, in cluding Italian and British. According to the French view, if a local agitation occurred, American, Italian and British shipy iniglit land forcey to preserve order, and it Is pointed out that this would involve se rious responsibilities upon tho United States, and would also have the ef fect of discrediting France's paramount Influence In Morocco. The American officials say that the United States warships will be prompt ly withdrawn if France undertakes the entire burden of securing the release of Lon Perdicaris. Jill "I ' fe oi Bso Da uO f American Fleet Affords Security. LONPON, June 6. The Times corres pondent at Tangier says: The Sultan's authorization to comply with Ralsuli's. demands cannot bo re ceived for a day or two. If the Sultan fully acquiesces In the demands, the release of the captives may be expected shortly, but that by no means settles the 'situation, for having twice suc ceeded in defying Europe and the Sul tan Ralsuli's success will tempt the tribesmen to further outrages. The presence of the American fleet affords a temporary feeling of security, but the moment tho lleot Is withdrawn, unless some permanent form of protec tion is substituted, the danger will be come greater than ever. The European population Is grateful to the Americans for having promptly sent warships. Full confidence is felt that the Ameri can Government will not withdraw them until some guarantee shall have been given that Europe recognizes the situation and demands energetic action. f One Killed and Sixteen Injured Street Car Dashed Down Hill and Ran Into a Tree at Burling- . ton, Iowa. , BURLINGTON, la., June 5.

I I Remarkable Scene in Church H That Caused Pastor to H Grow Angry. H Finally Had to Shut Off Wind of the Instrument to Make It Mute. NEW YORK, June 5. Loath to part JM with the organ he had played regularly for ten years, Harry Bentley Ridley persisted in grind ing out patriotic airs at the service in ll the Protestant Episcopal Church of the Configuration, at Fulton street and Railroad avenue, East New York, until fM a man rushed behind the instrument and shut off the wind. Gradually the music fell from a sounding roar to a cracked sough, and when the organist finally pressed hjs fingers on the noise less keys, the rector, Rev. Stuart Crock- JM ctt, overcame his nervousness and dls missed the congregation. Many reports were current of the dif Terences of opinion between the organist and the rector about the musical pro gramme for the service at which the unexpected incident created excitement among the worshipers. A few weeks ago Mr. Ridley resigned his post, main ly becauso after ten years' faithful and gratuitous work as organist he had been rewarded by a request for a. "con trlbutlon to the fund for a new build ing. This was his last time at the or gan. Partly in celebration of the oc caslon, partly 'ify honor"' of 'Memorial" day, he had arranged an extensive IH programme of patriotic airs. Played as Never Before. Mr. Ridley started off on his parting performance when the offering was taken up. His fingers ran through a medley of patriotic tunes, from "Amir ica" to "Marching Through Georgia." The two collectors, Peter R. Aube, Jr.. jjH and Henry Boudlnot,. returned to their scats, but the organ kept on. Work Ing with hands and feet he rolled out martial airs in volume so sonorous that IH the blood of his hearers tingled nnd IH their feet unconsciously marked time. IH Minutes passed and still the orgnnlst kept on. Reaching the end of his rep erlory, he started to repeat. To a sec- ond finish the congregation waited pa- jH tiently; then came another start, and IH with equal energy. IH The rector began to grow flgety. lH Raising his hand he said loudly: "L?t us pray." If' Mr. Ridley heard he made no sign, for, despite the call to petition- IH al devotion, be kept on sounding the IH pipes in full volume. The congrega- jH tion knelt, and after a wait of several minutes rose again, but Mr. Ridley kept IH The clergyman showed signs of ex- IH cltement. Beckoning to Mr. Boudinot IH he whispered in that man's ear. On tip toe the dignified member of the flock went to tho organist, touched, him on DIlUUIUUl U1U JORtu mill ib playing, Ridley never turned his head. jH but' kept on doing valiant labor with IH hands on kej's and feet on pedals. jH Many of the worshipers were plainly IH distressed, and. after another whispered consultation with the Rev. Mr. Crock- IH ett, Mr. Boudlnot walked quickly be- jH hind the organ. IH Dying- of the Strains. IH A few minutes later there was a no- IH ticeable diminution in the strength of IH the music. Mr. Ridley looked up In IH some surprise, but kept hard at work. H Slowly the notes lost volume, and with each falling throb Mr. Ridley seemed IH to become more energetic. When the IH pipes groaned Intermittently he still IH pressed firm fingers on the keys and IH heavy feet on the pedals, but when a IH volley of taps brought nothing more jH than a few despairing squeaks he dropped his arms by his sides, pulled IH his feet back and sat still, looking- In- IH tently at the score on the rack. His work as organist had come to an end. H When the Rev. Mr. Crockett was dis- IH missing tho congregation. Mr. Boudlnot IH came from behind the organ, gently douching a handkerchief to his fore- IH head. Ho had used his strength to IH good effect in holding down the bel- lows until the pipes lost wind. After IH tho service members In the congregation jH sided with the organist, saying he was IH merely giving a longer programme on account of the end of his long term of jH duty. Mr. Boudinot said he had cut off IH the" wind to maintain the dignity of H the church. Mr. Ridley and the rector IH would not speak about the Incident.
