SILVER BOW CONTESTS WILL BE
TAKEN UP.
TO PREVENT COLONIZATION
Bill Introduced to Change Time OF
Residence in County from
80 to 80 Days.

Helena, Jan. 20.-Frauds in Silver
Bow elections will be investigated
by the house. The committee on
privileges and elections will recon-
mend that the contests brought by
the democrats against the seating of
II fusionists should be heard. This
will be the findings of a majority of
the committee.
MacGinniss will not vote upon the
committee recommendations.
Knowing what this committee re-
port would be a republican caucus
was called at noon, which was large
ly attended. Messrs. Lanstrum and
Teal brought up the questions of ex-
pense and procedure to be adopted
by the house in hearing the contests
it being the opinion of these mem
bers that some limit of time and of
the number of witnesses to be heard
should be fixed upon.
Will Recommend Investigation.
1t was announced that the com
mittee report would recommend an
investigation into the Silver Bow
elections and Chairman Rice stated
that it was the plan to have the issues
Joined and testimony heard as expe-
ditiously as possible. No vote was
taken by the caucus, but it was agreed
that when the committee made its
recommendation the republican mem.
bers of the house should vote for the
inquiry and authorize the necessary
expenses incident to summoning wit
nesses and taking testimony. The
right of the Silver Bow %fusionists
to their seats will consequently be
passed upon by the house.
m view of the caucus findings the
matter was not brought before the
house at this afternoons session. II
has been agreed to vest the committee
with authority to hear the witnesses
and take the testimony necessary to
decide the contests.

Jury Returns Verdict for 8ozeman
Chief Of Police.

Bozeman, Jan. 21.-The trial of
Chief of Police John Robertson was
brought to a close today, the jury
bringing in a verdict of not guilty.

due force in arresting a prisoner nam
ed Smith, who disturbed the political
meeting of Senator w. A. Clark and
John M. Evans, held here in Novem-
Der. The state alleged that Robertson
threw Smith from the top of the opera

MAKING EFFORT. TO RAISE THE
BLOCKADE.
s~TERABERG NOT ON HAND
Absence OF German Representative
Need Not Delay Opening Of
Negotiations.

Bowen and Mrs. Bowen reached here
shortly after noon yesterday, their
train being five hours late. They
we're met at the station by their
nephew, Hamilton Holt of New York,
and drove at once to the Arlington
hotel. Immediately after luncheon
Minister Bowen called at the state
department where he had a long con.
ference with Assistant Secretary Hill.
He then went to the home of Secre-
tary Hay to report his arrival.
Until l have reported to the Off
Gals herey' said Mr.. Bowen, ''of
course it would be impossible for me
to discuss my mission or to announce
any programme for the conduct of
negotiations. l have not seen a pa
per in five days and therefore am
not posted on any developments since
left Caracas, so, for the present,
I cannot say just when my confer
ence with the representatives Of the
powers will begin"
Mr.. Bowen received a hearty well
come from the officials of the state
department, to whom his tactful con
duct of affairs at Caracas has given
the greatest satisfaction. 1t is expect
ed that the representatives of the
| powers who, so far as it is known,
are strongly DESTROYS Of terminating
the unfortunate situation on the Ven
| ezuelan coast, will lend him every aid
in his task. There must be frequent
! i~nterchanges between the ambassadors
here and their home governments,
! but it is fully expected that frequent
recourse will be had with the Atlantic
| cables, and that this new method CT
diplomatic interchange, in large part,
will take the place formerly occupied
by the mail exchanges.
Mr.. Bowen, as 500 as he had sha-
ken the dust Of travel from his
| clothes and paid a visit of ceremony
to Secretary Hay, started out to call
| OIL Tie DIlCASu anu AtdI41A onUNo0O
doris and at the German embassy
here, where in the absence Of Count
Quadt, he saw Baron Ritter, the act
ing charge %d'affaires.
Mr.. Bowen, above oil things is anx-
ious to secure the removed of the
blockade, which is the heaviest charge
laid on him by President Castro. So,
when he called on the representa-
tives of the allies, he urgently request
ed them to name an early moment
for the beginning of the negotiations.
The results CT the requests have not
J yet been divulged, but it is hoped that
Mr.. Bowen will receive answers in
the course of a day or two.
The absence of Baron Sternberg,
who is in New York, in the opinion
of the other allies, need not proven,
the initiation of negotiations with
Mr.. Bowen. In fact, it is no really
certain that there will be a join,
meeting of the negotiators at any
stage; Mr.. Bowen is not clear himself
on this point, and il the allies repre-
sentatives here prefer to discuss theil
issue separately, he is perfectly Will
ing to do so.

COLORADO LEGISLATURE SPLIT
WIDER THAN EVER.
JOINT SESSION IRREGULAR
Several Members Refuse to Respond
to Names on Roll Call-An
Votes for Teller.

Denver, Jan. 21.-A joint session
of the two branches Of the general
assembly for the election of a United
States senator was held today, but
only democratic members participated
and there was no election.
After concurring in adjournment of
the house until 2 o'clock Friday, the
democratic representatives proceeded
to the senate chamber, where the
joint session was called to order by
Senator Adams, president pro tempore
of the senate. There we're present
twenty-six senators and twenty-five
representatives, a total of fifty-one,
which is the number required to elect
a senator. Three republican senators
were in the chamber during the ses.
sion, but withdrew before the ballot
was taken.
Alleged to Be Irregular.
Senator Theodore Mcclure, a demo
crat, also retired after the joint SEES
sion had refused to excuse him from
voting, leaving only fifty members
present. Several members objected
to the proceedings or the ground that
the joint session vas irregular and
five democrats besides MCGUIRE re-
fused to vote for senator. On the
joint ballot forty-hve votes were cast
all being for Henry M. Teller. The
joint session then adjourned until
noon tomorrow.
The republican leaders claim that
any action the joint session may teke
is illegal and invalid al the house
had adjourned. They agreed to ad.
journment of the house until Friday
in order to give the two senates a
chance to make peece and they did
not anticipate the plan of the demo.
Gratis to hold a joint session.
Not Necessary to Meet.
After the house adjourned without
permitting a joint session the poin,
was raised that no ballots to be taken
en- subsequent days would be valid
because the statutory provision had
not been complied with today. The
legal advisers of the house managers
stated that they were satisfied after
a careful examination of the federal
and state constitutions and the stat
utes of the United States and the
state of Colorado that it was not nee
essary for the assembly to meet today
for the purpose of comparing the
journal if it did not see fit. 1t was
admitted that when the two houses
did meet, it would be necessary tc
go ahead with the balloting and thai
one ballot must be taken on each
legislative day thereafter, but it was
! contended there was no requirement
that it must meet today and compare
the journals.

patched Up Differences.

Helena, Jan. 21.-To Commissioner
w. o. Hutchinson of Lewis and Clarke
is due the honor of saving the dual
road law conference OF attorneys |
and county commissioners from a
most farcical ending yesterday after
noon.
All day the commissioners had been
building a. road law, tearing out a
section here and inserting another
there in the draft which, at the request
of the conference had been prepared
by Chairman j. F. Wegner. The bill
as nearly suited all the commissioners
as it could, but it was apparent that it
wasn't in proper shape for presenta-
ton to the legislature. 1t had no en-
acting clause, it did not repeal the
Geiger law, and in some sections it
a ambiguous. A motion was before
the house for the appointment of a
committee to engage the services OF
an attorney and go over the bill with
care, to the end that it be placed in
proper shape.
II move to amend that motion by
making it a committee of five with
instructions to invite the county at.
torneys now present in this building
to meet with them and discuss the
law as a WHOLE" said Commissioner
Hutchinson, rising to his feet. at
would be n%onsensical for two bills
to emanate from this conference and
the effect of this disturbance might
be the prevention OF any road legis-
lation at ali. We've got a bill here
which suits us, but we don't know
whether or not it's legal. Let's meet
the attorneys half way and settle this
little difference"
A committee of three, consisting
of Hutchinson, Cooper and Ryan, was
appointed to notify me attorneys of
the action taken by the commission
commissioners committee at a time
to be agreed upon and prepare to
report a compromise measure to the
joint session this morning at 9 o'clock.
When the committee stated it's mis-
i to he attorneys, County Attor-
ney Hall called attention to the fact
that the attorneys had worked hard all
day and had drafted a bill. He stated
that some of the attorneys were
ready to go home, w%hereupon Commits
sioner Cooper replied that the commits
sioners had made a request for
another joint session for the sake
of harmony and to the end that a
road law as nearly satisfactory to the
various parties as possible be agreed
upon.
The attorneys then voted to accent
the invitation and the special COM
mittee so reported to the commits
sioners' conference, whereupon Chair
man Wegner appointed the following
conference committee to meet the at
torneys: Davis, Gallatin; Clark. Sill
-
e Bow; Cooper, Cascade; Overturf,
Ravalli. and Oliver, Madison.
1t is generally conceded that the
question of the election or the ap-
pOintment of road overseers which
caused yesterdays unpleasantness and
subsequent walk-out, will not be
brought up in this mornings. discus
sion, and that the bill to be agreed
upon will be framed in such a manner
as to leave the legislature to follow

shall be chosen-whether by appoint,
mem or election. The bill will place

just the reverse of this situation
where M of the nurses underwent
a serious operation from which she
was rallying apparently without diff
ficulty.
The superintendent of the nurses
dropped in to see her just at dusk and
congratulated her on her, evident pro-
gress. The girl turned q%estioning
eyes to her chief and said:
Yes, it seems all right, but pray
heaven that a peacock won't call.
You know what that means"
The superintendent spoke redssar-
ingly, but when she left the ward
the words of the nurse worried her.
A wealthy woman living next door
to the hospital owned a magnificent
peacock, which. ordinarily was ex-
ceedingly quiet, but a superstition ex-
listed in the hospital that whenever
the bird cried, death stalked in one
of the wards.
At 2 in the morning the superinten-
dent found herself sitting straight up
in bed and seized with a sudden hor-
ror. The peacock was uttering a
m%ournful wall.
Pulling on her wrapper and slippers
she hurried TO the ward where lay
her assistant. 1t was as she feared.
The reaction from the operation had
set in, preceded by a violent v
chill.
The house physician had been sum
moned, but the patient seemed like
one in the clutch of a supernatural
power. Her temperature went down
with a plunge, her pulse followed,
she seemed unable to respond to any
of the emergency remedies, and in
less than an hour was dead, as her
chief said, the victim of her own fear.
For one whole year a New York
man suffered from a Authorization.
which he could not throw off and at
the end of the time he was practically
a victim of nervous prostration, be-
cause he could not get away from
himself.
An astrologer had foretold that he
would die when he was 35. At the
time Of the prophecy the mar laughed
heartily, but as the year approached
he found a shadow walking eve at
his side. He tried to think that it
was due to overwork and worry about
his business and he determined to
go abroad for a rest.
Then something stayed the pur-
chase of tickets for the journey and
he realized that it was fear-fear that
the steamship might go down. He
became afraid even to go on a rail-
road journey and doubled his life
insurance.
Finally he took several friends in
to his confidence, and seldom Travelled
the streets at night without n of
them in his company. He lodged
trolley cars and trucks like one who
thought all methods of traffic were
in league against his personal safety.
His friends ceased to jest with him
on the subject and seriously aided
in what to him seemed a fight for
life.
When at last old Father Time n
| ed him safe across his 36th birthday
this perfectly sane and thoroughly
healthy man collapsed from pure re-
action and took the trip abroad which
| he had feared for twelve long months.
