this morning with loss of about $50, 600
to the main building of the large Phoe-
nix block, owned by Isaac Hazelett,

part of the firemen. The property ada

but was saved by the wind changing
and some more fighting by the fremen.

lost their watches, money and clothing,
and Albert Knutson, night telephone boy,
had narrow escape. He was awakened
by throwing missiles through the win
dow.

sue ballots, all of them saying that the
ballots at the polls in Pike Martin, John
son, Knox and Magoffin counties were
of so transparent a nature that the
marks made by the voters upon them
could be seen. In almost every instance
the Republicans, upon ross-eXaminat ton,

mission that the votes in these precincts
where the tissue ballots. were used did
not differ materially from those in the
preceding elections.
A long argument ensued over the EVIL
dence of D. B. Farnun, an election conf
missioner of Knox county. The Demo-
Gratis desired to show that he had been
led to sign the election certificate part
ly because of threats of hanging by Re-
publican sympathizers. The witness said
he had been told of such. threats, but
had never heard them. His evidence was
objected to, as similar testimony was
offered by A. D. Spear, from the same
county. A. ]. Steele, of Knox county,
was called, and told of threats made
against the election commissioner on
