Little Rock, July 21. Mrs. Young, wife of Dr. J. M. Young, ex-coroner of Pulaski county, was instantly killed at her home in this city yesterday by an cleo tric shock. Mrs. Young, with several other members of the family, was in her room engaged in rearranging the furniture. A wardrobe was being removed from one side of the room to an- other, when in some way the electric fan, which was in the center of the room, was struck by the top of the wardrobe with sufficient force to break the fan down.

STUDENDCUs SHOWING OF FRAUD
BY DEMOCRATS IN DENVER
CONGRESSIONAL ELECTION.
forty-two Hundred o, illegal Ballots
Were Democratic and Others Were
Republican,, but All Were Cast by
Democrats-Shafroth Will Prob
ably Be Unseated.

Washington, d. c.. Feb. 13.-The re
port of Handwriting Expert Cavalho
which was, secretly made to the cleo
tons committee, has created cOnster
nation among ColoraGoans. 1t shows
upward of 5000 fraudulent ballots.
When it is known the expert only
examined 5000 ballots. the astound'
ing revelation by the report becomes
apparent. Cavalho claims that three
fourths of the ballots cast in the dis
puted precincts were fraudulent. His
report shows that about 4.2OO fraud.
ulent ballots were cast by democrats
and about 1900 by republicans.
The indications are that Shafroth
will be unseated. He and his attor-
ney r now canvassing ballots and
comparing them with the report. Next
week Bonynge will make a similar ex-
animation and comparison.
1t will be some time before a vote
is reached, but as 1t is believed the
republican bogus votes were also cast
by democrats, there is little doubt as
to the outcome.

Salt Lake, Utah. Feb. 13.-Sheriff
Emory has located Percy Bunger. who
is charged with having eloped with the
wife of Bishop Joseph d. Paul, of the
Mormon church. Information receiv-
ed today is that Bunger INT Mrs. Paul
are in Denver. Bishop Paul will go
there to his little daughter,
who is in the wife's possession.
The story of the affair is interesting.
Paul converted Bunger while on a mis-.
sion in England. Bunger came to Salt
Lake and the two men went into bust
ness together. They dissolved part
nership and Bunger went to work as
clerk. but continued to live with the
Pauls. About five weeks ago Paul be-
came suspicious of his lodger's rela-
tons with Mrs. Paul and forced Bung-
err to leave the house. Mrs. Paul with
her 4-year-old child left a week ago,
o~stensibly to visit relatives at Bounti-

6OiIGT:H FOR MONTH OF JAN
UARY ISSUED BY THE CHEY-
ENNE WEATHER BUREAU.
January, Like the Preceding Three
Months, Deficient Over Most of the
Mountainous Sections Of the State
Still Time for Average Amount of
Snow to Accumulate in Mountains.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Feb. l3.-Following
by w. S. Palmer. section director, from
the Cheyenne section of the weather
bureau:
The snowfall during January, like
that of the three preceding months.
was deficient over most of the noun
famous sections of the state. so that at
the close OF the month the amount of
snow in the mountains was below av-
erage. On the eastern slope of the Big
cumulated over the northern half of
the range, but a decided deficiency eX-
lists over the southern half. Al aver.
age depth of nov exists in a few sec
tons Over the headwaters of the Lar.
annie and Platte, but in general a de
cided deficiency exists. The amount
of snow over the Green river water,
shed is unusually small. out more a
ly normal conditions prevail over the
Snake river watershed.
While the outlook for the supply of
irrigation water at present is not EN-
~couraging, there is still time for an
average amount of snow to accumulate
in the mountains.
The forest rcserve officers of the in,
terror department have kindly supplied

Anent the gubernatorial problem as
presented by the possible nomination

tary of state and acting governor. | no.
tice that while the party press is act
ually lousy with names of gentlemen
whom it is said will serve an admiring
constituency, if properly approached.
no II has yet offered himself as a
candidate for the Office which it is pro-
posed Mr.. Chatterton shall vacate, if
elected. Somebody has been men
toned for every other place on the
ticket, | Differentiated, it may be
said that two or three of them have
already been filled in the public eye,
and over which there will probably be
no contest. But if Mr.. C~hatterton's
proposition is accepted we must dig up
a dummy somewhere who will AXE a
chance on that gentleman's shoes-a
sort OF a long shot at a soft and easy
snap, as we say in the army, provided
his superior officer is promoted. The
duties of the position will not be oner-
GUS. His name will not appear on the
ticket, consequently he will have no
assessment to pay and no leg-pullers to
tip-which ought to help a little. He
will not be expected to stump the
state, of course. Nobody wants to face
a Wyoming audience and explain that
he is a candidate, because he isn't;
that when they see him they don't.
and then ask them to vote for him by
voting for somebody else-I should
say not nit. To simply hole up and
wait for it to blow over would seem
to be easy-although as he must
run by proxy there would always
be the thought-doubly distressing to
a man of fine sensibilities, as repub-
lican candidates always are-that pos
sibly he might not have been elected
had he really been elected.
However. these are minor matters
which can be determined later by the
machine, as our democratic brethren
would put it, and need not necessarily
be settled at this time. What is want
ed now is the Il declaration from
the dummy himself. that he is ready
and willing to enter the lists and pose
as Mr.. Chatterton's tintype for the
sake of party policy ana such perqui-
sites as may be thereto attached. Trct

were not entirely eradicated.
