PURGE 1T OF FRAUD.

The rumors of violations of Law
IN Trigg county have been fully
verified. The irregularities and
frauds were sufficient to Invalidate
the election IN four or five precincts,
if not the whole county. The court
OF appeals, not thirty days before
the election, ordered it to be held, il
held at all, under the Carroll law
The violations OF law and defiance
of the court OF appeals began when
Bush was denied a fair division of
the officers, being allowed repre-.
sentation in many of the fifteen
precincts. The unfairness was
further shown by not permitting
Bush challengers in a majority Of
the precincts, In fact but very few
were allowed in the county.
The conduct of the election itself
was fatally irregular in many cases
and fraudulent in several. In one
third of the precincts it is alleged
and IN some cases sworn to that the
polls were kept open from 30 min
utes TO TWO hours after the lawful
hoNr for closing. In South Cadiz,
whieh gave Cook large majority,
as mary as is or 20 voters were al.
lowed to vote after the hour for
closing. The same fraud was prac-
ticed, It is said, in North Cadz and
Wallonia. At the latter place the
polls were kept open till SIN o'clock
and a majority of So piled up for
Cook, much of it by stufing the box
illegally after I o'clock, In one of
the Cadiz precincts Bush had one
officer, a sheriff, who closed the
door some time after four o'clock in
an attempt to stop the fraudulent
voting, but window was raised
and Cook men, it is said and not
desied, were permitted to climb
in and vote. These are but

of its business men is also one of its
strongest cards with the American

remember their first experience in
getting a hold in the valley-the
business men here being the only
ones with public spirit enough to
work for factory that was to be
located in another town. Our time
has come now, and Lamar will soon

High Line Canal and Beet Sugar Factory
Assured.
The Great Ditch Scheme Which will Double the Irrigated Area Tributary
Lamar Takes Form and the Acreage Of Sugar Beetsis
Assigned to Henry I. Oxnard.

The mass meeting of the citizens
of Lamar held at the Commercial
Club room on last Saturday evening,
to consider the proposition of organ
izing an irrigation district, to build
new high line canal, to water lands
south of Lamar, was an enthusiastic
and instructive meeting. The at
tendance was large and everybody
appeared TO take a deep interest in
the movement.
The meeting was organized with
j.. B. Traxler as chairman, and ID. E
Cooper as secretary. With very
little preliminary talk Mr.. Traxler
proceeded at once to introduce Hon.
T. c. Henry, of Denver, facile prin
ceps of Colorado's irrigationists.
Mr.. Henry's speech, necessarily a
lengthy one, received the earnest
attention of the audience. He gave
clear and detailed account of the
scope of the irrigation district law,
explaining how district could be
organized under its provisions. He
also made it plain that under certain
conditions easily to be performed by
the citizens of Lamar and vicinity,
the necessary capital could be SO
cured to build the ditch and reser-
voir from which the flood waters of
the Purgatoire river could be made
to water 100000 acres of as fine a
body of land as can be found in the
Arkansas Valley, nearly all of which
would be tributary to the town of
Lamar.
The proposed reservoir site has
been filed on by MIR. Henry's com
pany and its practicability and avail
ability for this enterprise was clearly
demonstrated by Mr.. Henry. By
damming the Purgatoire river at
the mouth of the Chaquaqua creek.
a body of water sufficient tc irrigate
at least 100000 acres of land is
easily obtained. And enough flood
water went out of that river last
spring destroying bridges and rail
roads and going to waist. to have
filled this reservoir several times
over Without interfering with any
established rights, the surplus water
of this river which would otherwise
go to waste, doing nobody any good
can be made to irrigate the immense
tract of 100000 acres. And south
of Lamar lies such body of land,
that will never be irrigated if the
waters of this proposed reservoir are
applied elsewhere Lamar is fortu
nate indeed in having at this time
the friendly consideration of Mr..
Henry, as the water could be used
elsewhere
Many questions we're asked Mr..
Henry at the meeting concerning the
operations of the district law, and
the feasibility of the proposed irri.

still being visible yesterday morning,

cation enterprise all of which were
easily answered by him. It was
after 12 o'clock when the meeting
adjourned. Speeches were also
made by the chairman, Mr.. Traxler,
by A f. Bent and Hon. G. Q. Good
ale endorsing the enterprise, after
which motion was made and car
risd, that the meeting endorse the
proposed enterprise.
1t is to be hoped that the enthusi
asm of this meeting will be continu.
ed in the organization of the district
and the building of a ditch. This
enterprise furnishes the only oppor-
tunity that Lamar will ever have to
increase her area Of irrigable land.
At the present time nearly every
town in the Arkansas valley surpass-
es Lamar in the amount Of irrigated
land tributary on south side Of the
river, but with this enterprise un
der way she would easily distance
them all, and would have more trib
utary irrigable land than any town
or city in Colorado. This enterprise
alone would double the size OF La
mar.
1t is now an assured fact that the
American Beet Sugar Co. will haye
to build second factory in the Ar
kansas valley during the next two
years in order to hold the territory,
and it is equally certain that Lamar
has been decided upon as the loca
ton of that factory. The only point
to be determined is whether the fac
tory will be built for the 1904 crop
or for the 1905 crop.
The extensive real estate invest
ments which have been made by the
company in and around Lamar and
those still more extensive which are
in the process of consummation
leave no room to doubt where they
are looking for location; but in ad
dition to this il the fact that the
acreage subscribed for the Lamar
Beet Sugar company is the only one
that they have taken the trouble to
examine and pass upon and finally
have assigned to their company.
The Lamar company had 1900 acres
subscribed, which of itself is enough
to support large factory. and the
entire amount has been assigned to
Henry r. Oxnard the head of the
American Beet Sugar company.
Lamar is the natural location for
the second factory as it is in the
center of the largest irrigated area
in the Arkansas valley now, to say
nothing of the new lands soon to be
opened, the water supply for the
lands tributary to Lamar is the best
iu the valley, and it is the natural
and established supply point for all

Wonderful Devotion of Indian Girl
to Fathers Memory.
Singing Swan, Belle of the KiOwas
AuctiOned Herself to Pay Debt
of Honor Contracted by
Chief Iron Talk.

Singing Swan, the belle of the KiCwa
Indian village in Indian territory, has
just auctioned herself to pay debt of
honor of her dead father.
Old Jim Crow, a famous, wealthy
white" Indian and a character Of I'M
usual force, originality and honesty,
was the successful bidder. He paid
S25, 900 for the handsome young WON
an. Then he took her to his home and
introduced her to his family of grown
up sons and daughters as an orphan
whom he had adopted, and told them to
treat her as sister.
The old man is a widower, but those
who know the sterling sense of honor
believe that he adopted the girl to keep
her out of bad hands and in the hope
that she would find an acceptable hus-
band in one of his handsome sons.
In the meantime the debt of honor
has been Cancelled in an unexpected
way, says the New York World.
Singing Swans father was Chief Iron
Talk, a man of wealth and influence in
the tribe, and was distinguished for
his hospitality and his progressive and
philanthropic ideas. He had his daugh-
ter well educated. Her fine qualities
and her beauty attracted many white
suitors, but she held aloof from them
and stuck to her father.
He, by reason of his constant wish
to improve his people and to do the
greatest possible good with his for
tune, was induced by INSCRIPTIONS
whites to embark on an enterprise that
swept away every dollar and left him
at his death $4,000 in debt.

pany's work in Canton, the industry,
it will be remembered, with which
Paul Revere was so long connected.
Frederick w. Lincoln, afterward
mayor of Boston, was adopted by Col.
Lincoln, and because of this, as we'll
as because he was the patriot Paul's
great-grandson, he would have been
the natural heir to the watch. Just
here, however, an interesting bit of
romance came in to divert the relic
to the present owner.
Col Lincoln had in DIR. Phineas Miller
Crane, late of East Boston. the father
of Mr.. Crane, of Maiden, a friend as
dear to him as Damon was to Pythias.
Often DR.. Crane had admired the
Paul Revere watch, and in his love for
the timepiece his bride heartily
shared. This fact he let drop to Col
Lincoln one day in the course of con-
versation, proposing, half in jest, that
he sell him the watch, to give his
fancee the. day she became his wife.
Naturally Col Lincoln was averse
to letting the watch go to one not of
Vic Ie0NOIt U1OOOs OuU lIItuU It-
quest seemed to offer to him an ad-
mirable opportunity to set the seal
on friendship which had meant much
to them both, as we'll as to Miss
Dwight, SO he consented to part with
the watch, and it became the property
the day she became Mrs. Crane, of
the woman both men wished to please
The number of the watch, which is
in an 1S-carat gold case, is 24,65O, and
that it was we'll madeis demonstrated
by the fact that to-day, 1913 years after
the night it served the owner on his
famous ride, it keeps good time.
