committee then ordered that the par
ties should have one weeks time in
which TO examine the ballots and then,
if either of US desired to send to the
expert for the purpose Of examining
them, that we should have that privi-
lege. The case was TO be argued before
the committee.
ION Thursday afternoon / COM
mepced examining the ballots and con-
tinued doing so through Friday and
Saturday. I do not believe that 2792
illegal votes were cast Cthat being the
majority as returned), yet my eXami-
nation disclosed the fact that the as
surance which / had received as to the
regularity OF the votes in many of the
precincts was not true and that there
were illegal votes therein which taint-
ed the polls, and the polls so tainted
gave me a greater plurality than my
returned majority.
That fact was a bitter disappGint-
ment TO me, but nevertheless true. The
law is that when a poll is tainted by
fraud and it is impossible to purge the
poll Of the fraudulent votes the vote
Of the entire precinct, legal or illegal,
must be thrown out. The committee
has given me every opportunity to as
certain the illegal vote so as to save
the valid vote in those precincts. Until
/ saw the ballots last Thursday l
thought the illegal vote could be de-
tected and scratched from the legal
vote, but 1 must confess that my in
spectiOn has convinced me that it is
impossible to do so in this case.
DECLARATION OF FRAUD.
THE case being as have stated and
the number Of precincts tainted con-
tanning majorities for me greater than
my returned majority, 1 must say that
If 1 were a Judge upon the bench con-
sidering this case would be compelled
10 find against myself, and as the vote
IN the contested precincts aggregates
less than one-tenth Of the vote in the
Congressional district 1 would be COM
PEELED to find that, according to law,
Mr.. Bonynge is entitled TO the seat.
I did my best to have an honest
election. My law partner, with my ap-
proval. organized a citizens commit
tee, composed Of both Republicans and
Democrats who desired a fair man.
The headquarters Of that committee,
as shown by the evidence in the case,
was the law offices of Rogers, Shafroth
& Gregg, Denver. / have always been
in favor Of pure politics. and whe2
the test is applied to an election where
! was voted for as one of the candi-
dates upon the ticket l should not
shirk my duty or change my convic-
tions concerning honest elections. I
therefore say to the Committee on Elec-
tions No. 2 and TO the members of this
House that they can seat Mr.. Bonynge
at their earliest convenience.
"As this is the last time 1 will have
an opportunity of addressing the House
/ want TO thank the Committee on Elec-
tions No. 2, and particularly the
chairman, Mr.. Olmsted, the sub-com-
mittee, Mr.. Miller, Mr.. Currie and Mr..
Sullivan, for the fair and impartial
manner in which they have proceeded
to investigate this case. Every sug-
gestion which I made as to the investi-
cation was readily concurred in. 1
wish also to say that / appreciate the

Mr.. Reds letter was read to the
board, and he not only told them to
90 ahead and award the contract, but
feeling that the board possibly needed

delay the parade and about ten
o'clock the autos struck town again.
The run was the first successful one
of any distance made by the W. c..

strength every day. The number Of
autos was thirteen, but the number
had no terrors for the drivers, and

THREW ROPE TO MAN

Yesterday the Palladium published
an account of the death and funeral
of J. r. Arnold at Dayton. There is
side to the story Of the sad death
that shows how one man will risk his
life to save another. Mr.. Arnold was
on the roof of a four-story building
at work. There was a young fellow
working on the third story beneath
him. Mr.. Arnold looned down and
saw the young fellow has lost his bal
ance and was about to fall. Quick as
wink he threw a rope to him, call
ingto him to "tane hold," which ne
did after hl had fallen one story. Mr..
Arnold in his efforts to save his fell
low-workman lost his belance and fell
to the ground, thereby losing his life.
Tt was a noble deed tinged with he
roism. Mr.. Arnold is a cousin of A.
j. Pickett, of this city.

FOURTH OF JULY
Remedy Used in st. Louis For Toy
Pistol Accidents.

In an effort toprevent the usual
large number Of deaths from tetanus
due to Fourth Of July accidents,
Chief Dispensary physician Scherck
of St. Louis has arranged that anti
tetanic serum shall be injected in ev-
cry person wounded by toy pistols
or blank cartridges applying at the
city dispensary for treatment: A cir
cular has bee nposted in each dispen-
sary announcing that the doctors on
duty will be supplied with tubes con-
tanning a dose Of the serum. The cir
cular also gives instructions as to
how to treat the cases.
DR.. Scherck believes tetanus will
not develop in a case so treated. If
the serum is not used until the disease
has developed, he holds, the chance
of recovery is small. Last Fourth go
per cent Of the tetanus cases resulted
in death 1t is expected that about
fifty persons will report to the city
dispensary for treatment Of wounds
which might result in tetanus. The
serum for each treatment will cost
the city $50 but it is believed thai
the precaution will save a number Of
lives.
