gales without education, without experience, without knowledge, and with only very slight-glinimering of ordinary intelligence, Mir. Butt inski Pellegrin of the Duly Effort, has got himself into deep water, and perilously close to the line of libel, there having appeared in the issue of that painful production of Monday an insinuation against four leading citizens of Nogales, who constitute the committee of the Chamber of Mines getting up the descriptive pamphlet, which insinuation is but little short of libel. The gentlemen constituting the committee are Mayor F. &. Cranz, Bracey Curtis, Con OKeefe and Doctor McCallum.
 The insinuation leveled at the gentlemen named is an allegation of graft in the matter of the pam phlet.
 After making the unsupported and unwarranted assertion that Mir. Evans, business manager of THE OASIS made an estimate of $500 as the cost of pamphlet, and that he (Buttinski) had procured an estimate of $549 at Los Ange- les, he asserts that he refused to have anything to do with 1t when he found the graft there was in the job, and that TIE OASIS had got it. Now if there is any graft in the contract given THE OASIS it was either shared or permitted by the four gentlemen named
 The fact is that the estimate given by Mir. Evans, in general terms, was between five hundred and six hundred dollars" That was when the work was purely tentative. Then when the Chamber contracted with Mir. Bird to do the work, and 1t was shaped up so estimates could be made more exact, Mr Bird gave the Chamber an estimate of five hundred and fifteen dollars thirty four dollars less than the Los Angeles estimate of Buttinski
 -and the deal was made upon that basis. For writing the book and otherwise assisting in pre- paration of the work the Cham Der has contracted to pay Mir. Bird two hundred dollars, which Is not an excessive price for the labor involved, without counting the knowledge of the country or the conceded capacity. It is no secret that the committee of the Chamber secured an even one thousand dollars in advertis- ing. And it is estimated that after defraying the cost of printing, freighting, etc., and paying Mr.. Bird, there will be two hundred dollars or more to put into the treasury of the Chamber of Mines; and the work will be one of real

Liberty League Protests

DENVER, Col, Dec. 29.-The Lib
erty league state committee adopted
the following today:
Resolved, That we denounce in ~un-
measured terms the action of the Re-
publican party in attempting to over
ride the plainly expressed will of the
people by arbitrarily throwing out the
returns from a large number of pre-
cincts to the end that the state SEN
ate may be made subservient to cor
porate greed, the supreme court may
be packed and that James H. Peabody,
Overwhelmingly repudiated at the polls,
may be forced upon the people of this
state for another biennial period. :"
Another resolution declares that the
election laws of Colorado are a farce
and demands their revision.
The political situation is declared to
be so grave as to call for a complete
investigation and it is demanded that
every ballot box in Denver be opened.
A protest is made against the indis-
criminate throwing out of ballots
without an attempt to separate the
good from the bad.

DRAWS 4 RAZOR
ACROSS HIS BODY
Man Crazed by Strong Drink
Attempts to DisemboweI
Himself


Crazed by some of the strong drink
which is served over the bars of the
Cedar avenue saloons. Peter Nelson. an
expressman, who boards at 1909 Sixth
street south, attempted to disembowel
himself with a razcr in a COW pasture at
Cedar avenue and Twenty Sixth street,
about 2:30 yesterday afternoon.
His attempt was failure. He cut a
long slash in his apparel and the blade
made a cash across his abdomen, but the
surgeons at the city hospital say that the
intes tines were not severed. and but Tor
exposure to which he was subjected his
chances for recovery would be good.
The locality where Nelson attempted to
take his life is sparsely settled, being
close to the Milwaukee railroad tracks,
and it was a long time after he had in
jured himself that he was found lying in
the snow, which had been crimsoned by
the large quantity of blood which he lost
Fully three hours elapsed from the time
he cut himself before he was brought to
the city hospital In the South side patrol
wagon. He was thoroughly chilled and
shocked and it is possible the exposure
may be followed by serious results.
Nelson was unmarried and about thlr-
ty-fiye years of age. He is an express
man and had stand at Cedar and Wash
ington avenues. At his boarding place IT
was said he had been drinking heavily
of late and it is believed that while in a
frenzy he wandered out Cedar avenue to
the vacant block. and there made an at
tempt upon his life while on the verge of

tire, F. l. Lofstead. bicycle Inspector. and
