DENVER ELECTION CONTEST
Supreme Court Hears Argument-Pea-
 body May Yet Win.

Denver, Nov. SO.-The supreme court to-day heard argument on a motion which has an important bearing upon the result of the election of governor and members of the legislature in this state. Attorneys representing the re- publican party have asked the supreme court. which has assumed original jur- isdiction in the local election eases, to order the Denver election commission to throw out the entire vote of a pre- cinct in which 1t is alleged the courts order relating to watchers was violated without an investigation to determine the number of legal votes cast and without opening the ballot box. Should the court order the vote of this precinct thrown out, the attorneys for the re- publicans will demand similar action in respect to about fifty precincts in which it is charged that the courts orders were violated. All the precincts gave majorities for Ava Adams for governor and by throwing out the returns the re- publican managers hope to overcome Adams majority of about 11,O0O in the state and continue Governor Peabody in office. The control of the state sen ate also appears to hinge upon the de- cision on this matter.
 Attorneys John M. Waldron and H. J. Hersey made the arguments in favor of throwing out the votes, and United States Senator Thomas M. Patterson i sei siffoFti arg gueG sgaiiisf such 3 proceeding.

 Leicester, Mass, Nov. 5o.-Much syrn- pathy is manifested here for Ovid Chapdelaine, the fifteen-year-old boy under arrest at Worcester, charged with the murder of Mrs. Emma Rich ard Brigham The seIectmen believe that the state police should follow up the case of John Riley, the tramp who was held at Boston on charge of drunkenness, and subsequently, identi- fled as the man seen in the vicinity of the Brigham home on the afternoon of the murder
 l Tonight the selectmen addressed the following signed communication to the state police:
 The selectmen do not want to criti- else or want to appear as advisors to men who have made the hunting Of criminals their business. We agree with Chief Shaw that his statement printed 1 in Boston evening paper this We'd lnesday afternoon, that if Chapdelaine did not commit the crime, lie knows who did, having been so near the scene. Still. we are bound to ask and do for mally reqdest that the clew of the man seen going south across the brook from the scene of the crime be Francis Mus grove and Harry Daw at o'clock Fri day afternoon, be cleaned up if possi- ble, with as much diligence as has been shown in the work done Tuesday, If this can be done, we feel that it would be great relief to our friends and cit izens of the town and place the doing of the crime where 1t belongs"

 St. Petersburg, Nov. 3O.-Official and private dispatches received here to- night indicate that the Japanese are falling back below Sintsintin, where for several days they had apparently been attempting a turning movement.

 The Russian consul at Chefoo tele- graphs that the Japanese have captur- ed two forts. in the storming operations against Port Arthur on November 29, but the news is not confirmed from any other quarter. The consul says the Jap anese losses were enormous and that 5000 men were sacrificed in two hours.
