II Peabody Holds Over?


The Indications are that the frauds
In Denver alone will exceed the plural
ity of Mr.. Adams. 1t would therefore
be manifestly unfair that he should be
given the office until the matter is
fully Investigated and determined by
the Legislature, which has the sole
right to settle the matter.
Suppose Mr.. Peabody holds over and
after the investigation is completed.
say some time in February. the Legis-
lature concludes that Mr.. Adams is
elected. Would the acts of Mr.. Pea
body. while holding over, be legal?
This and other similar questions can
not be answered off hand.
It is believed that the solution Of
this problem lies in having Lieutenant
Governor Mcdonald. about whose cleo
ton there is no question, act as gov
ernor until the matter is decided.
One thing is certain. at the present
time, the evidence SO far as divulged
indicates the defeat of Mr.. Adams, al

slightest disposition on the part of the
Republican managers to take snap
judgment or use unfair or unjust
means to settle the matter. The gen.
eral opinion among Republican lead
ers is that the party will not under any
circumstances adopt the arbitrary and
brutal methods which were employ ed
by the last Democratic Senate in I'M
seating Senators Dick and Mcdonald
to elect Mr.. Teller to the Senate.
''If We cannot win fair we don't want
the Office" said prominent leader.
but If We have won it. we want it;
and We want the people to know all
about the frauds. and if they do they
will support us in an effort to get it."
The Senate will be Republican by
one vote. The Indications are that the
first official act OF the Senate after
organization will be to unseat Born
and Healy. who were given the seats
Of Mcdonald and Dick. This will give
the Republicans five majority in the
Senate and they already have a large
majority in the Lower House.

Denver, Dec. 20.-The burning ques-
ton in Colorado Is still. Who was
elected governor?
There were extensive frauds COM
mitted in Denver, in fact, the most ex-
tensive in its history. There were
frauds committed in three other coun-
ties that will add materially to the
chances of Mr.. Peabody. There seems
to be little doubt. II the rotten pre-
cincts are thrown out In Denver and In
the other counties where bogus ballots
were cast and fraud ran rampant. that
Mr.. Adams apparent plurality will be
wiped of the records. but it is neces-
sary to show clearly and conclusively
that this is the case.
While 1t will be impossible to open
all the ballot boxes In all the tainted
precincts in the state and settle the
matter by bringing the voters to ident-
ify and swear as to the correctness OF
each ballot. yet such course would
be the only one to afford an opportu-
nifty to do the two candidates exact
justice.
The next best thing to do is to con-
slider the evidence given from various
precincts before the courts. to investi-
gate SO far as possible in reasonable
time, by legislative committee and
come to a conclusion, and this is the
course that will be pursued beyond a
doubt.
Legislative Investigation.
The Supreme Court has enough
contempt cases from Denver alone to
keep 1t going for two months or more.
according to the statement of promi-
nent Republican attorney.
The precincts thrown out by this
court. II any more are thrown out, will
be those which 1t has Investigated In
the course of the contempt proceed
ings. These will not be very many. in
fact but mere handful. by the time
the Inauguration day arrives for the
next governor. which falls OF January
10th next
The throwing out of fraudulent re-
turns or returns from stuffed ballot
boxes by the Supreme Court will not,
therefore. settle the question as to who
is governor. The action of that court.
together with the evidence which 1t
has collected. will. of course. be con-
sidered by the Legislature. which by
law canvasses the vote and deter
mines who is elected to the various
state Offices from the governor down.
The committee appointed to investi-
gate the matter will have to consider
an enormous mass Of fraud evidence
from Denver and may determine to
open all the ballot boxes in that city.
II this is done the conclusion Of the
investigation will not be reached for
several weeks. and in the meantime
who will be occupying the governors
chair?

an early Mexican mission located so
many miles from San Antonio, and so
many miles from Nacogdoches, estab-

A QUEER FIND
NEAR 0AKW00DS
Investigators Think They Are
On Track of a Buried
Treasure.

MIR. Henry T. Newkirk of Oakwoods
is in the city today on very queer
mission. He brings with him three
pieces of large sand stone of reddish
color, which were perhaps at one time
one rock, and on which are chiseled in
relief lines a map of a stream, hills,
cross marks, etc., and evidently an
Indian message of some character. He
brought these to Palestine with the
hope that some one could be found to
interpret them. They were found near
the base of a tree about ten miles
west of Oakwoods.
But this is only part of the story.
Mr.. Newkirk says that when the stones
we're discovered, queer Mexicanized
negro, a stranger, made his appear
ance at Oakwoods, and on examining
the stones he told those around him
that 500 yards from where the stones
were found was a cave. The finders
of the stone went back to the spot,
took compass and stepped off 500
yards in the direction the negro indi-
Gated, and found nothing more than a
slight depression in the ground near,
somewhat resembling an old filled-in
well. Excavations were begun. After
penetrating layer of soil like that of
the top of the surrounding soil, white
sand was encountered, and soon
enough of this was removed to con-
vince'the searchers that this was really
the cave indicated. One room has al
ready been uncovered, and openings
in the walls indicate two others. This
cave is entered from the top, and the
other two rooms have not yet been
reached.
For long time strange parties have
searched those woods for lost treas
ure, and only about one year ago it is
reported a strange Mexican visited
oakwoods, and told of queer marked
rocks that should be located near
Oakwoods, and offered $1,000 for IL
discovery.
A strange feature of the case is the
negro has disappeared, and the Mex

DIGNITY GOES DOWN
BEFORE CHASE CROWD
Clever Comedy Which Makes Everyone
Laugh-Bill Good as a
Whole.

The bill at Chase's this week is good
when taken as q whole. There are
some numbers way above the average
in cleverness and entertaining quality:
there are some that are only fair; there
is nothing that is poor.
Raymond and Caverly are a refresh
ing pair of foolishness experts. There
are in every audience, a number OF per-
sons who assume digniied air when
German comedians come on the stage.
and declare to themselves that they
will not deign to smile at senseless and
ludicrous antics. There were a great
many such people at Chase's last night,
but they soon got over IL.
The bill was well varied. Second hon
ors were divided between the Sander
trio Of strong men. and Loris and Al
shooting. The William Tell sketch Is
thrilling, and the auditory awaits with
bated breath while Lorfs shoots a tiny
ball from Altinas head.
George II. Wood would have been
much more entertaining II he had varied
from his pet subject OF doctors. A great
many OF his jokes are as old as the
Herbert Lloyd. THE Kings Jester, .
as he styles himself, appears as an
exemplihcation of a human-mechanical
ingenuity. He is without a peer on the
vaudeville circuit.
The Carmen Sisters are good banjoists.
but the orchestra accompaniment was
so heavy that the technique OF the
banjo was entirely lost. The last num-
Der on the bill was the one-act sketch

pany. which has been seen in Washing
