THE FIGHT STILL ON.
Lusk Kicks on Converse County Elec-
ton Methods.

The Lusk Herald is pretty certain that
fraud figured in the recent elections to
Judge from its comments, which are ap.
pended:
Never in the history OF the much
talked of southern election frauds has
there been a more illegal vote polled than
at Douglas. Manville, Fisher and Box
Elder last Tuesday.
AT Douglas the room where the polls
we're situated was locked, the blinds low
cred and no one admitted except those
who stood in with the steal.
The ballot box was not visible to the
voter-in fact nothing and no one inside
the room were visible except one of the
judges, who sat at the window. When
the votes were counted the room was
kept locked, and no n admitted, al
though several electors of the county ap-
piled for admission.
The iron gang which was sent up the
road from Chadron Monday, was sent by
special train to Fisher and Box Elder,
after having voted at Douglas, and voted
at all three places. They numbered over
one hundred. In one instance one man
voted four times under as many different
names, and started to vote the fifth time,
when he was prevented by a represent
alive from Lusk. Our representatives
challenged a great number of votes, but
the only Judge visible paid no attention to
them except in a few instances, when he
put an illegal oath to them and took their
tickets.

Col. Luke Murrin last evening received
a marked copy of the Louisville Courier
Journal from which it is learned that
Jason B. Brown was nominated for repre-
sentative in congress by the Democrats of
the third Indiana congressional district.
Mr.. Brown was secretary of Wyoming
Territory in 1873 under President Grant,
but resigned after holding the Office a few
months, as there wasn't enough of money
in it for him. He may be relied upon to
make a red hot campaign.

John Mulhallon, a brakeman attached
to Conductor Walsh's crew, met with
quite a painful and serious accident in the
Union Pacific yards here about 4:3O o'clock
Sunday morning. While engaged in
coupling cars at that hour the upper por-
ton of his left hand, including the base
of his thumb, was badly crushed. Com
pany Surgeon Stevens dressed the wound
and the man was taken to the Denver
hospital a few hours later. The surgeon
expressed the opinion that Mulhallon
would not recover the use of the injured
member for three weeks.

Musical Organization.

Nearly thirty of the leading vocalists
of Cheyenne met in the lecture room of
the First Presbyterian church last even
ing and effected a temporary organization
by choosing Rev. A. w. Williams chair
man and D. W. Bradley secretary. The
meeting hen proceeded to the election of
Prof. E. j. Pasmore as director and Prof.
u. +. lnman as accompanist. The i'm
mediate object of the organization is, as
heretofore stated, the taking part in the
festival to be given at Denver by the
famous Gilmore band June Is and l6,
but it is hoped the movement will result
in a permanent society in Cheyenne for
the higher class of music generally.
Fifty copies of music to be taken up at
the festival we're ordered by telegraph
last night, and will no doubt be here in
time for the first rehearsal, which will be
held at the music store of Prof. Imam
on Sixteenth street Wednesday evening
at $3.50.
All persons not present last evening
who would like to join the new society
are requested to make personal applica-
ton at once to either Professors Inman
or Pasmore.

At the National theater I. j. Farron
has been seen in his play, the Soap BUD
Die. OF course the piece is as light as the
thing from which it derives its name, but
it nevertheless compares favorably with
any of the now numerous productions of
its kind. 1t is full of irresistible fun and
replete with good songs, choruses and
quartettes. Mr.. Farron won much ap-
plause by his comicalities and his singing,
and was ably supported by Ed j. Con.
nelly and the rest of his company. The
singing of Virginia Ross was especially
commendable, and Miss Dolly Foster won
and held the favor of the audience by her
peculiar sprightliness and cuteness.

that 1t was none of his business, no
