HERE'S A STATE OF THINGS
One Alleged Briber a Republican Worker
and Postmaster.

and Postmaster.
James M. Herbert, whom Senator
Morgan charged with having given
him $3.50 as bride, is vice president
and general manager of the Colorado
and Southern railroad, and stands in
the foremost ranks of railroad officials
in the United States. Daniel Sullivan,
who is accused by the senator of .hav-
ing offered the alleged bride, is post
master of Cripple Creek and one of
the most prominent Republican work
ers in this state.
Herbert issued the following state
ment: MIR Morgan came to my rooms
in the Brown Palace hotel last Thurs
day with Daniel Sullivan. Mr.. Morgan
stated that he and his people were for
the seating of Mr.. Adams; that Boulder
county had gone for Mr.. Adams, and
the laboring people in his section Of the
state were for Mr. Adams. and he told
Governor Adams the same thing: that
the pressure was SO great from the Pea
body people that they might drive him
out of the state if he did not vote with
them, as they were brow beating and
bulldozing many Republican. members
of the legislature, and making threats
against them in business and in poll
tics; that he was convinced the Pea
body people had no case.
''Mr. Morgan stated that he had been
offered $4,000 by Peabody people, and
he ought to have $1,000 if he stood by
Adams and incurred the enmity of the
Peabody people. l told him that I
would not pay any member of the leg
islature to vote one way or the other
in the governorship contest. Mr.. Nor
gan was very insistent, and finally said
he would take $500. l absolutely re
fused to have anything to do with him,
and he went away. Mr. Sullivan was
present during the entire converse
ton
Sullivan says that Morgan went to
him several days ago and pleaded with
him to take him to see Herbert; that
he suspected MOrgan's honesty, hut
took him and heard. him solicit the
bride and Herbert refuse to consider
it, Governor Adams does not believe
tue story told by Morgan and says
that Morgan of his own accord. on the
day he says the bride was offered him,
went to Adams and told him he would
vote to seat him.
During the afternoon Postmaster
Sullivan assaulted Richard Broad. a
Peabody worker, on the street, strik-
ing him in the face with his fist. Sui.

he would like TO drive the queen or

who know the wonderful old-time
hOrseman believe he could make her

FORECAST OF u. OF U. TEAM
Men Who Will Probably Defend the
State Championship at the Var
sity During This Season.

The cooler weather of the past week
has given the varsity team a chance to
absorb some of Coach Maddocks hurry
up tactics, and as a result the eleven IS
getting down to the point where II begins
TO resemble a football team. While the
lineup has not been definitely decided
upon, yet from present indications tho
team will probably so into its first game
with the following men in unifOym; Ben
Mon. fullback; Brown and Russell half
backs: Herbst, quarterback; Pitt Ander-
son and Earl Bennion, ends; Peterson
and Curtis, tackles: Ray and Barton,
guards; Narley, center.
This combination should make as strong
a team as Inc varsity had last year, II
not a stronger. The new men, Herbst,
Curtis and Ray, are said 10 be exception
ally strong in their positions. while Var
ley is showing mp well at center. The
only argument used against him Is that
he is trifle light.
Yesterday the team took a day off ard
went ont to the Bennion farm. The trip
had been planned for Friday, but was
postponed until yesterday on account OF
the rain.
