TRIPLE TEXAS TRAGEDY
Affair Started by the Meeting of
Two Enemies in the Street
at Orange.

Orange, Tex, Nov. 5.-Jeff Chenault,
City Marshal Jordan and Toney Jones
were killed in a shooting affair here
late today.
Bad blood is said to have existed be-
tween Chenault and Will Harris, a we'll
known young man, for some time. To-
day the two met, and after a war Of
words Harris secured a double barreled
shotgun and killed Chenault. Harris
ran to escape the fire of Chenault's
brother, but was apprehended by City
Marshal Jordan, who was close at
hand. While the officer was conduct
ing young Harris TO Jail he was shot
and killed and his prisoner escaped.
1t is not known who killed Jordan, al
though there were a large number of
people on the street at the time of the
tragedy.
VIII Harris was later arrested and
placed in jail. At this juncture his
brother, James Harris, started for a
nearby store, declaring that he would
procure weapon and take part in the
affair. 1t is alleged that Toney Jones
handed Harris a gun, after which the
former jumped into a buggy. and as
he was driving away officers appeared
on the scene and opened fire on Jones.
inflicting wounds from which he died
a few moments later.

T only grows worse.
AS the returns continue TO come
in from over the state, the Re
publican majority grows. Joseph How
ell, Republican candidate for congress.
has received a plurality not far from
b,40O, with some districts still to be
heard from. William NJ McCarty has
been elected justice of the supreme
court by about the same plurality.
The Republicans have a majority of
forty on joint ballot in the legislature,
exclusive Of two doubtful counties.
IheSe two are Box Elder and Piute
or these, Box Elder is probably Re-
publican and Piute Democratic.
The Democratic islands not engulfed
IN the tide Of ReDublicanism on the
legislative contest are Davis. Juab.
Wayne and Washington counties, and
Simon Bamberger.
Iron county went Republican, and
the Eleventh senatorial district. for
the first time in its history has elected
aA Republican senator. He is A B.
Lewis, head of the Majestic, Imper-
ial and other mining companies, with
headquarters in Beaver county. He
defeated I.ehi w. Jones. the Democratic
candidate, by about $50 plurality. His
home county. Beaver. gave him al
most a two to one yote-a majority of
454-which more than offset the Dem
ocratic majority of about 400 in Wash
ington county. Iron and Kane coun-
ties swelled his majority.
The Twelfth district, composed of
Emery, Carbon. Uintah Grand and
San Juan counties. is in doubt. Sen
atOr Harden Bennion was supposed by
his friends to have a walkaway.
but 3. r Mcdonald, agent of the Rio
Grande Western at Price, the Repub-
Hcan candidate. has pressed him hard,
and, on the face of the present returns,
has narrow majority. McDOnald's
home county, Carbon, gave him 23O ma
jority-more than BenniOn got from
Uintah. Emery and Grand have di-
vided honors practically evenly. En-
cry. while it elected Republican mem
Der of the lower house, has given Ben
Mon a majority. San Juan is yet to
be heard from.
There was a large amount of scratch
ing all over the state, and the returns
are consequently slow in coming in.
The Democrats were aided in gaining
Wayne county by factional differences
among the Republicans. A similar sit
uatiOn arose in Box Elder, while do
mestic difficulties hurt the Democrats
in Cache. San Juan was fixed for

although no complete returns have
been received, the supposition is that

Tom johnson Not Cast Down by De-
feat in Ohio.
Cleveland. o., Nov. 5.-Mayor Tom L.
Johnson today gave to the Associated
Press the following signed statement
relative to the election:
We are encouraged by the large
Democratic gains in Cuyahoga county,
in spite of the fact that large Vote
was polled and great interest aroused
on the part of the Republicans The
majority Of the county ticket was
elected, and in cases where we lost it
was due wholly to personal preferences
and involved no political principle.
But probably the most encourag ing
sign is the fact that where Mr.. Bige-
low made his campaign outside of
Hamilton county satisfactory gains
were almost universal. The time was
too short to expose the viciousness Of
the municipal code and the Cincinnati
franchise grab. The result in Hamil-
ton county was due to dishonest cleo
ton methods rather than lack of in
terest. Cox and Mclean controlled the
entire election machinery. There was
nothing to prevent either dishonest
voting or counting.
I'VE have already begun next years
state campaign. This is but the first
skirmish. Truth loses some battles;
but no wars.

San Francisco, Nov. 5.-''There is no
doubt that a majority of the people Of
California cast their votes for me for
governor said Franklin X Lane to
the Associated Press tonight.
Then, what do you think of the sit
uation at this hour (7:30 o'clock, was
asked.
THE result is undecided. There have
been several suspicious facts in con-
nection with the count which lead me
to believe that frauds have been COM
rnitted. 1 have information that 200
votes cast for me were thrown out
in Alameda county; 80 per cent of the
Democratic. vote in San BernardinO
was likewise treated, and that the to-
tails in Humboldt and Los Angeles
counties were withheld in order to as
certain what number of ballots in
the country would be necessary 10
overcome the majority that San Fran
cisco gave the head of the Democratic
ticket. About 100 O'Clock this morn
ing I heard from Alameda that the Of
ficials are withholding all returns until
this city's vote was given. 1 chartered
a tugboat and dispatched many union
men, headed by Mr. Copeland OF the
typographical union. to investigate the
situation. They visited many Of the
polling places and found discrepancies
between the returns and the actual
vote. In numerous booths they were
refused access to the returns, one set
of omeials going so far as to remove
the ballots into another room, where
they were counted.

that there viii be a contest in the
event that the returns show the cleo
