A FORGED TELEGRAM.
Gen. Colville Was the Victim of a
Scoundrel.

London, Dec. 31.-Since his arrival in
London, Major General Sir Henry Gil
willie has received information tending to
show that Lieut.. Colonel Spragge actual
ly received a forged telegram purporting
to be signed by General Colville, dated
Lindley, May % saying:
Il am badly in need of mounted troops.
Come here at once"
The above telegram was sent off three
days before General Colville reached
Lindley and was the cause of Lieuten-
ant spragge Fastening there.
One of the principal charges against
Genera Colville is that, after appeal
ing ITO the yeomanry for help, he alban-
doned them to their fate.
Il never heard of this telegram saws
General Colville, until now. But it ex-
plains the mystery of any alleged mes
sage to Colonel Spragge. 1t was known
at the time hat some one was tamperine
with the wires near Lindley in the inter
est of che Boers.'
General Colville himself was at the
war office today. General Sir Evelyn
wood, the adjutant general merely sent a
subordinate to meet the general.

Justice Emerson spoke for himself and
colleague and said:
I'VE have come UP here to hear these
cases. We know nothing about these
citations. and as we believe no one has
been injured by our not reaching here
sooner, we are ready to proceed with
these contest cases."
StenOgrapher Sackett of Butte. who
has been employed to make record of
everything that takes place, was sworn
by Justice Powell, %whereupon Attorney
Duffy interposed an objection to the
justices going any further with the
cases.
Attorney Walsh then suggested an adj
journment until Monday afternoon at
2 O'Clock.
Attorney Duffy opposed this on the
ground that the county cases were set
for 10 o'clock Monday morning in the
district court; that Judge Smith would
be here from Helena to try them. and
that those cases could not be deferred.
Duffy wanted an adjournment until the
latter part of the week, but Attorney
Walsh said this could not be done. as
the time was short, n the law ex-
pressly states that the dispositions in
contest cases must be spread before the
legislature not later than the second
day after the assembly c%onvenes.
1t was a clever move on the part of
Mr.. Duffy to have the legislative cases
go over until it was an impossibility to
get the dispositions before the legisla-
ture IN time.
Justice Emerson did not propose to
delay the matter, however. n he adj
journed the session to the date and time
by Mr.. Walsh.
The attorneys for the contestants
issued subpoenas for j. H. Durston,
John r. Walkup, John r. Toole and c.
