G0ebel and Beckam Entitled
to Seats as Governor and
Lieutenant Governor.

Frankfort. KY, jam 30.-While
William Goebel lay at the point of
death in bis room as the result of an
assassin's bullet the contesting
boards, which for two weeks had been
listening to the evidence in the con.
test for the governors chair, declar.
ed him entitled to the seat.
The board having in charge the con
test between Goebe1 and and Taylor
for governor. and Beckhsm and Mar
shall for lieutenant governor. met at
7 O'Clock tonight in the city hall to
consider the evidence submitted 10
them, aud prepare their report to
the Legislature A few legal autho,i.
ties were read to them at the request
of Senator Allen, who wishes light
shed upon few doubtful points.
Then by strict party vote of 10 to
1, William q Goebel was declared to
have been legally elected governor
Of Kentucky
The Bsckbsm. Marshall contest was
then voted upon and ssriot party vote
Of 9 to 2 settled this matter.
Several Democrats sought to get
together quorum of both houses, hold
a night session, push through the
repor,s and declare Goebel the govern.
or OF Kentucky before morning. to
give him the honor before he died. but
too many Legislators were away. 1t is

governor tomorrow il be is alive.

continued before Judge Taft OF ths,

Tho republican attorneys and Gov
Taylor are confident that at least O
temporary Injunction will be granted
and that the ultimate victory will be 10
their favor.
The grounds alleged include The
prejudice of the legislative body aud
the alleged un6tDess of several mem

The bullet which struck Mr. Goebel

was raised about eight inches from the

Lillsrd assert that. while the 6rss sbot
