ELECTION FRAUD CASES.
Democrats Expect to Take TeSfi-
mOnV of Thousands.


Denver, Feb. 6.-At the session of
the joint legislative committee consid-
ering the Peabody Adams gubernato-
rial contest, Attorney John A. Rush
announced that the Democrats expect
ed to take evidence of 5000 or 5000
persons either before the committee
or before notaries. He asked to have
the ballots taken before notaries when
witnesses were to be heard. This re-
quest was denied by Chairman Griffith.
James A. Pershing, Republican
lawyer, who acted as supreme court
watcher in precinct 8, ward IA, testi
fled that legal ballots were cast in that
precinct by putting them in the out
side box when the glass box was filed.
He said before this was done the cleo
ton officials consulted with him and
the action was taken with his consent
la his opinion the election in that
precinct was conducted honestly, al
though one expert had testified there
were over sixty ballots written by one
or two persons.
len witnesses were examined during
the afternoon, each OF whom identified
as his ballot one of those which tie
Peabody experts had declared to have
been written by one or two persons.
From che precinct where an expert
had testified seventeen Democratic and
six Republican ballots were written by
one person, the Democratic attorneys
produced six men, each of whom iden
titled one of the Republican ballots as
the one he wrote. This completely
demolished the experts report on this
group of ballots.
In another case Republican cleo
ton judge identified the Republican
ballots which the experts had declar-
ed fraudulent as being his own and
two which he had written for litter
ate voters

WEDDING JOKE THAT FAILED.
Big Cards Mailed to Couple Didn't
Reach Them.

Big Cards Mailed to Couple Didn't
Reach Them.
"a practical JOKE is something like a
firecracker," said a New York bride
groom; lit may start out all right and
then refuse to go off. When we were
married two or three men that we
knew made great threats about playing
some prank on us; so, of course, we
were in much apprehension, fearful lest
our trunks be painted white or have
big wedding bells or bags of rice tack
ed all over them. Nothing of this kind
happened, however, and we reached
our destination, after the wedding jour-
ney, apparently undetected-at all
events, unmolested.
I'm few days l received from the
postmaster of our home city a notifica.
ton that big package of mail was
held there for me, the same to be for.
varied when sufficient postage was
paid. On my remittance there came
along about one dozen huge cards
which our interested, fun-loving friends
had fixed up for our harassment. The
cards were heavily printed with black
paint with these announcements: We
are newly married; Make way for the
bride and groom; Here comes we'd
ding party, etc. But the funny old
boys who got them up and directed
them to us at all the hotels along our
possible wedding route made the fatal
mistake of putting only 1-cent stamps
on the big bridal posters. and they
didn't meet us worth Il cent.
I'VE are holding them, though" con-
tinued the New Yorker. according to
the Detroit Free Press, land the first
man of that crowd who gets married
will have the pleasure of eating his
own words, so to speak-with suffi-
cient postage. In the meantime the
bridal cards look very decorative hung
on the wall in our pretty little recep-
ton ROOM"

THE LITTLE ONES ARE HIS

A little hand that softly stole
Into my own that day,
When l needed the touch that | loved so
much
To strengthen me on the way.
Softer it seemed than the softest down
On the breast of the gentlest dove;
But its timd press and its faint caress
Were strong in the strength of love!
1t seemed to say in n strange. sweet way,
Il love you and understand"
And Gained my fears as my hot heart
tears
Fell over that little hand.
Perhaps there are tenderer. sweeter
things
Somewhere in the sun-bright land,
But | thank the Lord for his blessings
And the clasp of a little hand.

Like these, indeed" broke in his
wife. I'm 50 sick of all this grand
stuff, and so tired hevn to eat off them
silver platters-O, Nathan, wouldn't
ask for but one meal a day and that
bread and milk, if we could only hev
kept the old home and our own
things"
"Ies, l know, mother, how you feel,
but all we kin do is to think about
the mansions that are bein' fixed up
for us over there, and it won't be long
now anyhow that We'll hev to wait.
I'm sorry tho the things are sold, you

P'raps she kin straighten things out a

Il wish Emily could take us back
out west with her." the wistful voice
replied. but l spose we'd only be in
the way. Em'ly's always been good
girl to us, not sot up same as Car'line.
But now she's goin' to be married
and go way off out there again, seems
jest as if | was goin' to lose her for

the furrOwed cheeks.
"Oh, mother, mother, and daddy,
dear, you don't know how glad l am
to be at home with you once more,
and what do you think! We are not
to have Il church wedding at all. Won't
Caroline be mad tho'-but we are to
be married tomorrow in our own little
home oh, l am so happy, so happy
and the laughing, brown-eyed girl flew
first to one and then to the other,
talking, laughing, hugging and kissing
them all in the same breath.
"And bent you goin out west
again, Emly?' the trembling old voice
asked as soon as the mother could
find speech.
"Oh, no." answered the girl; "you
see, it is this way: John has been
given the management of this end of
the business and he has bought a love-
ly little house right in this town, and
as we thought it would be too big for
just us two, we are going to let fiat
in it. Oh. you shall see it all tO-mor-
row." and a roguish twinkle sparkled
In her eyes.
Tomorrow dawned bright as any
wedding day be, and after the hurry
and furry Of the wedding was over
and the last guest had departed. Emily
called to the much Disguised sister as
she was leaving, and said: "Oh, Caro-
line, you might send over mothers and
fathers things, for they are going to
make us a little visit"
The old eyes glistened when they
heard this, and then Emily said:
"Come now, dears. and we will take a
peep at the fiat we are going to let"
and when the door was opened they
beheld three Of the dearest little rooms

ESCAPE FROM
SERIOUS INJURY
SPECIAL CAR OCCUPIED BY Gov
ERNOR OTERO AND FRANK M.
MURPHY AND PARTY LEFT
THE TRACK.

Frank NJ. Murphy, of Prescott, pres
ident of the Santa Fe. Prescott &
Phoenix Railway, passed south on the
Santa Fe railway Saturday evening
on No. Z. He was in his private car
and was accompanied by a party of
friends, among whom was Mrs. JOS.
II. Kibbey, wife of the governor Of
Arizona. At Las Vegas the party was
met by Governor OterO and Superin-
tendent II. o. Bursum, who accom-
panied Mr.. Murphy to Lamy. The
members had a very narrow escape
from serious injury, and probably
worse, on the trip from Glorieta 10
Lamy.
Speaking about the accident. the
New Mexican says; About a mile
south Of Glorieta, the car in which
they were jumped the track, and
for several hundred yards ran upon
the ties and upon the ground, and for
a few feet on air" az a spot where
the road bed is narrow and on the
side of Apache Canyon. Fortunately
the impetus Of the car, which was
great at that point-it being steep,
down hill-kept the car in motion.
Had the coupling broken the car and
its occupants would have been
thrown into the canyon, which. at
that point, is about 100 feet deep. AS
soon as the shock of the cars leaving
the track was felt, Governor Otero
jumped for the bell rope, and pulled
