Tad" Skinner, the Little Jockey.
1t Was the week of the county fair.
All Benville was in state of happy
excitement and anticipation, Many of
the Benville boys had exhibits in the
various departments, some showing fine
horses, dogs, poultry. etc. while others
gave evidence of their ability along NJ ri-
cultural and mechanical lines Only a
few were represented in the Art depart
ment
Among all the boys of Benyille there
VAS one who, unintentionally. won the
envy of all the other boys. But to the
other boys credit il must he confessed
that they also felt the greatest admiru-
ton for and interest in the object of
their envy. This much euvied and adj
mlred boy was Tad Skinner, a jockey.

Governor Peabody's Protest.

The protest addressed by Governor
James II. Peabody TO the Joint con-
vcntion OF the Senate and House for
the purpose OF canvassing the vote for
governor Is In part as follows:
"Gentlemen-As you are advised.
there is suit in which the state Of
Colorado is plaintiff, now pending be-
fore the Honorable Supreme Court Of
this state, relating to the conduct Of
the general state election of this state,
held November 8, 1904, In the city and
county of Denver, and that in said suit
it has developed that conspiracy was
entered into between the Democratic
officials in control of said election In
said city and county, and other par
ties hostile to the Republican party OF
this state, to defeat the election of tho
nominees of the Republican party.
whose names appeared on the Republi-
can ticket, for said election, and par
ticularly to defeat the election of this
protestant"
The governor here reviews the ac-
tion of the Supreme Court at consider
able length and adds:
For the reasons above stated !.
therefore. respectfully protest against
your Canyassing the so-called returns
that may be presented for your action
from the city and county OF Denver by
said election commission.
Il also respectfully request that you
promptly take action, through COM
mittees, or as q body in joint assem-
bly,, to ascertain as best you can, the
number of legal votes cast at the said
election OF November 5th last, in the
said city and county of Denver. In or
der that you may be able to give the
certificate of election for the office
of governor TO the person properly en-
titled thereto; this to be without pre-
judice to any candidate for said office,
TO contest the election in the manner
prescribed by law. An additional rea-
son for such action on your part is that
1t Is Indispensable to prevent the legal
voters of the city and county of Denver
from being disfranchised.
THAT pending the report of said
committee the said joint assembly may
adjourn to a day and hour certain, not
later than the morning or forenoon OF
Monday, January S, 1905, at which time
to then act upon any reports that may
be then made by said committee In the
premises, and declare, through your
presiding officer, who was duly elected
to the office of governor at said elec.
ton. Respectfully submitted,
JAMES H. PEABODY"

the door. After that the Senate officer
left without his prisoner. The whole
matter took only few seconds. far
less than the time IL takes to tell
about 1t.
The chair was sustained by n vote
of 40 to 6, showing also that a quorum
was present. Mr.. Street raised tho
question of no quorum. but tho
speaker ruled against him, the vote
just cast having shown more than
fifty members present.
Mr.. Grimth sent to the desk the prot
test Of Governor Peabody against the
couating OF the Denver county vote'
and with 1t a resolution calling upon
the presiding officer Of the joint assent
bly, to appoint committee of five sens
ators and ten representatives to cam
vass the vote on governor.
AS the clerk began to read the pro,
test Mr.. Frewen rose to a point of or,
der. saying that II 1t was joint ses,
sion. which he denied. 1t was for the
purpose Of canvassing the vote and
not for the purpose Of listening to pro,
tests. The speaker ruled against the
point Of order. Again Mr.. Frewen in.
terrupted the reading with the same
protest. but the speaker instructed the
clerk to go on with the reading. rel
gardless of protests. But Mr.. Frewen
was SO persistent with his demand to
be heard on his point of order that
the speaker recognized him, to rule
against him again.
After considerable discussion tho
motion to appoint committee Of five
senators and ten representatives to
canvass the vote for governor was car!
ried by majority of 81 to 1.

investigator Committee.

Denver, Jan. 1.-THE committee ap.
pointed by the joint meeting of House
and Senate of the Fifteenth General
Assembly to examine the vote for gov
ernor of the state, as cast at the last
November election, met yesterday
afternoon and again at night.
The investigating committee issued
subpoenaes on the Denver election
commissioners to appear with the reg
istration books and ballot boxes, but
Members Graves and Soetje refused to
comply and sent reply that they did
not consider the Investigating commit
tee legally organized body, and that
as legally constituted body. they re-
fused to appear. They further held
that the ballot boxes were being held
subject to examination by the Supreme
Court and could not be turned over to
this committee.
Three subcommittee of five each had
been appointed to examine the ballots
and registration books, while the en-
tire fifteen were to listen to the evil
dence.
Attorneys Willis V. Elliott and H. J.
Hersey appeared on behalf of the pro-
testant, Governor Peabody. and 7. j.
O'Donnell and Samuel w. Belford rep
resented Governor Adams, but later
withdrew. Attorney George w. Dunk
lee appeared on behalf of the ma
jority of the election commission.
Secretary Dorsey of the election
called BY him the Republicans
learned the total registration in the
city of Denvep for the last election,
and then they submitted their checks
on this registration.
According to voluminous affidavits
they had, there were $500 fraudulent
names on the list. and they asked that
all of this number be taken from the
majority of Governor Adams, as 1t was
reasonable to suppose, they held, that
these names had been voted.
When Mr.. Riddle was called and ex-
amined by Attorney Elliott he pre-
sented a computation of the fraudu-
lent vote, which he estimated at about
$500, with a total fraudulent registra-
ton of about $4,000.
The Democratic members of the
committee, Messrs. Webster, Ballinger,
A. H. Davis and Fred s. Bolsinger,
presented a formal protest against
"the alleged committee of the alleged
joint assembly proceeding with the
transaction Of any business whatso-
ever, for the reason that the said joint
assembly is prohibited by the consti-
tuition from doing any business what
soever until the returns of the late
election have been opened and pub
lished and the result of said election
declared. and further because there is
no power in a joint assembly to ap-
point committee for the purposes for
which this said committee has been
appointed, and further because the
Legislature at the time of the appoint
ment of this committee was not in
joint assembly, and because the said
Joint assembly had dissolved"

Denver, Jan. S.-Shortly before p.
m. yesterday Lieutenant Governor
Haggot called the joint convention to
order. BY his side was Speaker Dick
son of the House. The lieutenant gov
ernor directed the call of the roll of
the Senate. All the senators answered
to their names. All of the representa-

there to check up the vote for the gov

The count proceeded without break
for nearly three hours. Senators and
representatives walked in pairs and
