FORM PLAN
FOR SEATING
OF PEABODY
Scheme Of Colorado
Republican LegiS-
latOrS.

DENVER, Dec. 25.-If the Fifteenth
General Assembly Of Colorado, which
is to meet on Wednesday, January 4.
shall put into effect the plans formu-
lated by the managers Of the Republi-
can post-election campaign, Governor
James H. Peabody may serve as chief
executive for two years more, despite
the fact that Alva Adams still has
nearly 10000 plurality since the votes Of
five Denver precincts were thrown out
by order of the Supreme Court in con-
sequence of frauds exposed in contempt
proceedings against election officials.
There will be a Republican majority
of thirty or more in the General Assem-
bly,, which will canvass the vote for
State officers. 1t is proposed to have
the General Assembly appoint special
committee of nine to twelve members,
to which will be submitted the evidence
of wholesale election frauds.
The Republican managers maintain
that, with the fraudulent vote of Den
yer eliminated Governor Peabody will
have at least 1000 plurality in this
county and 1000 in this State.
1t is not intended that the legal votes
shall be sifted from the illegal and
then counted. or that the Legislature
shall reject the entire vote OF Denver
County, because to do this would not
accomplish the reseating of Governor
Peabody; but it is proposed that about
100 Democratic precincts shall be
thrown out on the ground of alleged
frauds and that the vote of the Repub-
/ hcan precincts shall be counted. They
assert that the Supreme Court has es-
tablished a precedent for such a pro-
cedure.
The Democratic leaders declare there

disclosures of fraud shown in contempt
proceedings before the Supreme Court

A Strange Case.

A dispatch appeared in this paper
last night dated Denver, which gave
an account of an attempt of an aged
woman to jump from west bound
Rio Grande train last night, believ-
ing she was nearing Grand Junction.
The dispatch gave the woman S
name as Mrs. Martha Rooney and that
sse had relatives in this city.
1t also stated that the woman was
feeble minded. being rs yeasr of age.
Last night telephone message
came from the Union station stating
that an old LADY giving her name as
Mrs. Rooney had arrived over the
narrow guage and that she was acting
very strangely. Night Marshal

ed for the station, but when they
reached there they found that the
woman had wandered from the station.
parties having noticed her starting
east on the Rio Grande tracks. A
search was at once instituted for a
trace of the woman. The officers Sc
cured the help of several other men
and finally a Mrs. Gale residing in
the Crawford addition arrived at the
depot and stated that the woman lost
was her mother At once hard
search was kept up and at about nine
O'clock she was found in the home of
some Italians. back of the round
house.
The Italians had found the woman
in the Grand river and she had wad-
ed i'll to where the water reached her
neck and would have undoubtedly
drowned had she not been discovered.
Unquestionably the officers in Den
yer. knowing that the woman was
feeble minded and also feeble from
age and also knowing that she claim
ed relatives in Grand Junction,
should have wired that she was on
the train bound for this city. But
no such notification came and the
poor old lady found herself in a
strange place and no one to meet or
greet her. 1t would seem that the
experience she had in Denver would
have warned the officers there tn have
sent word of her coming to this city.
She was given over to her daughter
as soon as found.
