cies In the Board of Election
Comm ssiOners.

Frankfort, KY, Dec. 2S.-Questions
concerning the makeup of the state
board of election commissioners may
be brought before the courts before
the commissioners sit as a contest
board to pass upon the claims made
by the democratic candidates for the
state offices below that of lieutenant
governor, which are now held by re-
publicans. The point of contention
is the procedure to be followed in fill
ing the vacancies caused by the re-
cent resignation of Commissioners
Pryor and Ellis. The democrats have
construed the law to provide that
such vacancies are to be filed by the
remaining members of the board and
on this theory John Fulton was APP
pointed to fill one of the vacancies.
Commissioners Poyntz and Fulton ara
to meet here Thursday to elect the
third member of the board. The re-
publicans now make the assertion that
these vacancies should be filed by
appointment of Gen. Taylor. 1t is
said the governor will make nomina-
tons to fill the vacancies and that
the question will then be taken into
the courts.

worked every man in Squan Creek
down to Deacon Bolivar, who couldn't
afford to give him but so cents to tell
whar them $3,0OO,O0O was buried. As
nobody let on to another il was safe

to him:

The deacon passed over the so cents
and grabbed the map and rushed
home and begun to dig. He told his
wife what he was diggin' fur. and she
went out and told the nayburs, and
inside of an hour the cat was out of
the bag. 1t was three or four days,
however, before the diggcrs cum to
the conclusion that they had been
swindled. Sich an upheaval of the
airth was never known before nor
since in Squan Creek. Sum men went
as deep as 30 feet, and worked Is
hours out of the ~, and if the loose
dirt had bin spread on the marsh it
would have made three acres of land.
The swindle had TO cum out at last,
and down went the fences. and the
gold-hurters ripped and cussed til
they had to stop fur want of breath.
Then public meeting was called, and
Hiram Oatfield got up and offered
the follerin':

UNGRATEFUL *
* SAM WALKER.
How He Rewarded the Men Who
Played at Santa Claus for Him.
: Copyrighted BY NJ QUAD.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

1t was the second day of December
when Sam Walker shot down Silver
Davis on the streets of Paradise Flat,
and an hour later he would have been
hung to limb but for his crafty ways.
The rope was already noosed for him
when he asked leave TO make few
remarks. and this being granted he
said:
This town of Paradise Flat hadn't
any Fourth of July to speak of, and
il was way behind the times on Thanks
givin'. Christmas will soon be at hand,
and You can't even git up decent dog
fight to celebrate the occashun. |
should think you'd want to show eff
over Hill City and Jackvlle."
1--WE do, Sam" replied the man who
had charge of the affair" "but we
hain't got no chance"
you've got it right we're. I killed
Davis and hev got to be hung. In
stead of hangin' me to-day why don't
YOU put it off till Christmas and make
Il big thing of it? tn be the only
hangin' fur 80 miles around"
1t was promptly and unanimously
decided that Sam Walkers head was
level, and that he should be saved up"
for Christmas. He was confined in IA
shanty, fed on the best in the camp.
and every evening a number of the
boys made it a duty to call on him and
help him to pass the time as pleasant
ly as possible. He seemed to look for
ward TO the day with cheerful indif-
ference, and it was voted again that
Sam was one man in ten thousand and
ought to be hung as gently as posi-
BILE. As Christmas drew near he said
to his Callers:
Boys. as l am dom the fair thing
by you ! expect We to pet me leetle.
Fur instance, I'm goin' TO hang up my
stockin' on Christmas eve, same as in
nercent children do, and hope I
shan't be neglected"
He wasn't. When the time came we
Clipped in and raised purse of S20G
as Santa Claus gift, calculating that
it would come back to us after tho
hanging. The stocking was hung un
and the purse went into it. and at a
late hour it was reported that con-
demned was sleeping with a childlike
look on his face. The next report
came in at daylight. With the report
came the sight of the hole Sam had
dug under the walls of the shanty to
regain his liberty. 1t was Christmas
day, but he wasn't there to be hung,
and our purse had gone with him.
Public indignation was so great that
all We're stupefed for time, but after
awhile il WIS
Resolved, That the next critter in
this town who orter 10 hung win be
stretched up so burned quick that mo-
body but hisself win git any fun out
