WRIT IS REFUSED
JUSTICE BAILEY UPH0LDs THE
 DENVER JUDGE.
The sheriff Now Has In His Possession Ballot Boxes wanted By Hon- est Election League of
 Colorado.

Denver, Colo, Aug. s--Justice George ". Bailey of the State Supreme Court. today refused the writ sought by the Denver City Tramway Company and the Denver Gas and Electric Company to stay proceedings in the franchise eiec- tion contest in the Denver County Court.
 Sheriff Alexander Nisbet thereupon personally took possession of the ballot boxes which the city election commis- sIon had refused to surrender last nlght on the order of County Court Judge Ran B. Lindsey, and the heaFing Was resumed in the County Court.
 The corporations had Applied to the Supreme Court for a eupersedaa. alleG- ing that the County Court was with out Jurisdiction over the contest. Judge Baiiey decided that the charter con fers on the county court the right to hear election contests and that 1t was contrary to the practice of the Supreme Court for a single judge, during the vacation of the court, to interfere m such 6 proceeding by writ of prohibit ton or supersedeas.
 George N. ordway, election commis- sioner. was sent to jail by Judge Lind- sev today for contempt of court in re- fusing yesterday to give the ballot boxes to the sheriff on order of the court. Henry Dougherty. president of the Denver Gas and Electric Company; Fred A. Williams. former chairman of the Republican Central County Commit tee, and J. Cook. Jr., real estate deal CT, who refused to testify in the cleo ton contest, were also committed to fail today for contempt.
