ever entered the Ohio gubernatorial
race.
After II p. m. the returns showed
the Democratic gains in Cincinnati

Mclean was likely third Mt Cleveland
and possibly at Toledo. In which cities
Jones drew much more heavily from
the Democrats than from the Repub

him. At 11:30 p. IN. Chairman Charles
Dick gave out the following:
The returns from Hamilton. Cuya-
hoga and Lucas counties are as yet
too meager TO give definite figures.
Enough have been received To indicate
the election OF Judge Nash by great

Bushnell two years ago, which was
2S,165, thus insuring the election of
the entire Republican state ticket.
Both branches OF the Legislature are
Republican"
After the announcement. further re-

Arapahoe County.

Denver, Nov. S.-From all the re-
turns available at an early hour this
morning it is reasonably certain that
the Democrats have carried Arapahoe
county by n plurality of about 1900
votes. The returns include all but
three of the city precincts and few
from the outside districts. The Repub-
lican ticket is second and the silver
Republican third. Populists had fused
with the Silver Republicans. The vote
for sheriff was as follows: Jones.
Democrat. 16,S05; Hadley, Republican.
11.IO4; Brooks, Silver Republican and
Populist. 4.ISO.
The proposition to create n bonded
Indebtedness of $4,7OO,O0O for the pur-
chase or construction of municipal
water plant carried by vote Of 5.42O
to 1916. a majority of 2.444. Over this
proposition there has been strong
fight and great interest was taken in
the result.

: King In Captivity.

tIIom lNt NEW lolE ieIdl1l
Some interesting details in regard to the
present condition OF Samory, the dethroned
African monarch, have just been received
by the French Minister of the Colonies.
SamoTy Is now at Hayes. where he occu-
pies camp, which is guarded BY a COM
pany of soldiers. He has fifteen wives
with him, and sixteen OF his children and
several servants He spends his time in
reading the Koran and smoking cigarettes.
To outward seeming Samory is calm and
contented, but at heart he is quite the re-
verse. He cannot rid himself of the idea
that he Will be murdered some day, and
whenever one of his guards happens to fire
a shot he is confident that his last hour
has come. He brooded SO much over his
coming doom that he quite lost his senses
recently and made determined but futile
effort 10 commit suicide.
Samory still retains with him a few
pieces Of his barbaric furniture but all his
gold and silver treasure, which mainly
consists OF gold rings and silver plates. has
been confiscated by the French government
and is to be sold. His silver cuirass, how
ever, a massive and unique work of art.
will be placed in the War Museum at Paris
SamOry, it is said, has grieyed much over
the loss OF these treasures, and it is con-
sidered doubtful whether his captors, no
matter how kindly they may treat him.
viii ever be able TO reconcile him to his
lot.
