The situation Grows Serious Al.
ktns VIII Attempt Force

| Inc stuuiou GrOws serious At
| kins Will Attempt Force.
Galveston, May, 1.-The may orally
contest between Ex-Mayor Fulton
and Acting Mayor Atkins took a new
and unexpected turn to-day. The
slcuth hounds of investigation got on
the right scent when they started TO
investigate the frauds in the
aldermanic contest between Quincy
and Allen. After seating Quincy
they took up the trial
again and to-day the big wolf was
fairly run to cover, where he has
turned on his pursuers and shows
signs OF fight.

Immediately began proving the fraud
nlent character of the returns
from Eleventh ward these
returns had already been proven so
putrid that Atkins was unable
through his witnesses to point out n
single genuine ballot in the Eleventh
ward box. Ills entire defense consisted
of an exhaustive document laborously
alleging the existence of fraudulent
ballots in the boxes of the other
WnfuS. Inc testimony OitTtu ny
Atkins was rejected as irregular and
illegal.
The situation tonight Is one of ap-
prehension and anxiety. AS soon As
Atkins Withdrew from the contest he
repaired to the office and Immediate
" began wholesale decapitation of
old and tried members of the city po-
lice force and by Dight-fall he had dis
missed twenty policemen. This
brought on crisis. Attorneys for
Atkins threw bombshell in the camp
by announcing that Atkins
withdrew his case from further. con
sideration by the council and would
appeal to more learned tribunal
Thus tonight the entire police force
of tho city are new men every one of
whom is a strong partisan of Atkins.
II certainly looks as. though Atkins
was preparing to physically resist
the order of the council, hurling him
from office for that such mandate
will be issued tomorrow nobody
doubts. Great excitement over the
probable outcome is apparent every
where. Popular feeling is decidedly
against Atkins and his methods.
