THE COMMITTEE AT WORK.
The Contest Investigation Draws a
Large Crowd Today.

Large Crowd Today.
The contest committee met in
the city hall this morning at 9
O'Clock and shortly after the ses.
sion was opened in due form by
Chairman German calling the
house to order and asking for the
announcements of the parties in
the contest case of Eddleman VS..
Fleming from the Third ward.
Both sides announced ready for
trial and the investigation COM
menced.
The contestee entered a protest
to the proceedings on the ground
that the duty of the city council
onlysextended to the investigation
of the qualification of its members
and to the face of the returns On
which the certificate of election
was based. That the only way in
which the investigation could go
behind the returns and bring up
the question of illegal voting was
by quo warranto proceedings.
The protest was overruled by
the committee and the examination
of witnesses was begun.
r. A. Cromer was the first wit
ness and was called to testify as
to the electoral qualifications of
Steve Edwards, whose vote is con-
tested. His testimony tended to
disqualify the voter, but the hear
ing on this case was continued un-
til tie afternoon to secure the at
tendance of other witnesses.
The vote of John Mitchell, Sr.,
was then taken up and he was
called to the stand. At this point
the cOntestee stated that he would
concede the disqualification of this
witness.
Thereupon Mr. Cruce, for the
committee, promulgated a ruling
to the effect that while either party
had the right and would be allow
ed to concede the legality of any
contested vote, that in the opinion
of the committee the city was more
interested than either of the par
ties in disprOving illegality and
that therefore Il concession of the
lllegality of any vote without ex-
animation would not be received by
the committee.
Mr.. Cruce then proceeded to ex-
anime the witness on behalf of the
commmittee and his testimony
clearly established the challenge
entered against his vote, he testi-
flying to a residence outside of the
Third ward.
The investigation continued un-
til noon, about half of the con-
tested votes being inquired into,
when the committee took a recess
until 1:30.
There was a good sized crowd
present during the morning session
and much interest was manifested
IN the proceedings. Occasionally
some very amusing incidents oc-
Cured which relieved the proceed
ings of monotony and kept every
one in good humor.
At 1;30 the session was resum-
ed and the introduction of testi-
mony by the contestant was con-
tlnued. There was little or no
controversy on the testimony and
the work was disposed of with
leaSOIidDIe faplulty.
Owing to the fact that the entire
morning and a considerable part
of the afternoon up to press hour
was consumed in taking testimony
for the contestant and that re-
buttal testimony for the contestee.
as well as his direct testimony on
votes challenged by him and re-
buttal of this by the contestant,
have yet to be taken it is
quite likely that the hearing will
u good part of the fore
noon tomorrow.

Hunting Party Disappointed.

From w. Z. Poland, who re-
turned yesterday from Atoka where
he went to join the hunting party
which left here about ten days
ago, we learn that the hunt was a
disappointment, very little game
being found.
Farley Richmond is the only one
in the party who killed a deer and
the champion fishermen have had
equally poor luck. a few Turkeys
and smaller game were found. The
Others of the party are returning
overland.
