SITUATION IN RUTLAND co.
Challenge Issued to tho Rutlnnd Her
nld-No Response Forthcoming
Proctor Victory sure.

Rutland. Aug. 22-The feeling in
this city in regard to the outcome of
the election September is pretty we'll
attcsted by tho betting talk among
those inclined in that direction. One
local man of means is advertising in
the evening paper. Challcng ging the
Rutland Herald to produce cash to
cover a stake OF from 81 900 to $4,000
on the election and is willing to tako
smaller bets Much curiosity has been
aroused as to whether the published
challenge will meet with response
There is no Clement money in sight
on oven bet, on the result in Rut-
land county, but fusion hackers would
take the lower side of heavy odds
bet Ike seven to three. Clement
money on the result IN West Rutland
where a large and enthusiastic re-
publican rally was held Tuesday night
is not offered on the result, but would
he forthcoming on a wager that Proc
tor will receive two votes to Clements s
o.. in that village.
Many business men in this city who had
followed tho campaign carefully feel that
Clement will be inevitably showed under,
and some are confident that Proctor's ma
jority will even exceed 10000.
Clemen' headquarters in this city Is a
busy place, what with the 10 or more en-
ploves doing mailing work. The post
office forces at the main office and station
are kept busy with the great crush Of
matter being sent out. 1t is understood
that tho Rutland Herald is sending out
some 1000 extra papers every day. One
local printing establishment is working
day and night turning ou' Clement cam
paiSn literature, and other concerns here
also have share Of the work. But the
general feeling is that this work is all in
vain

now out on bail, having been released
from the Wheeling jail several days
ago.
Arguments grew heated as the case
progressed and the nane of promi
nent Plttsburgers were banied about
quite recklessly. From the statements
made it appears that Mabel Davis has
been the keeper Of a house Of Ill re
pute in Pittsburg. Councilman Ed
wards is accused Of grating from her
and 1t is known that she will tell the
truth If taken back.
That she is wanted as a witness is
not sufficient grounds for. extraditfor

charges have been made against her
Her attorneys attempted to show that
the woman was arrested for the Of
fence charged as long ago as May 81
and that she entered a plea OF guilty
when arraigned before a police magtE'
trate.
For some reason she was discharged.
She has appeared before several mag
-~istrates and made sworn statements
of the graft charge against Edwards
She remained in Pittsburg for several
months without being molested and
was not indicted until September IL.
After leaving Pittsburg she went to
Ohio, where it is alleged an attempt
was made to kidnap her. She escaped
and went to Wheeling, where Pittsbure
detectives located her and caused hey
arrest. Her attorneys are trying to
show that she is not wanted for pur
poses Of prosecution but as a witness
in the graft case.
Detective Rice told the governor that
her case is being fought with Ed
wards money and even II the requisi-
ton is honored she will not be found
in Wheeling by the officers, as she will
forfeit her bond to escape.
