 Pensacola, Fla. Dec. is-tspecial,l -lThere were no developments today as a result of the efforts of officers ot inc army stationed at Fort Barrancas' to discover the men who fired into train near the army post Monday night,
 The artilierymen who were on the train when the trouble occuNed be- tween some of the men and the con ductor. and the latter drew his revol- yer. declare they have no knowledge of any shooting afterwards. as when they left the train at the post they went direct to their quarters. The con iductor. however, Is firm in his belief that he was fired upon by crowd or soldiers who were about half a mile from the post.
 , The officers of the Pensacola electric company have failed to find any bullet holes in the car and are partly of the belief that parties who were passing along the track took the opportunity of firing revo1vers while the train was passing and that the bullets were not directed at the conductor.
 The attorney for the company today received q communication from the of- ncers at the post assuring him that a most thorough investigation would be made of the affair and if any of the artIllerymen fired into the train they would be court-martialed.

Iresides, otherwise he may be deprived
Of the right of exercising his franchise
on election day; which is one Of the
most exalted privileges and duties OF
American citizenship.
To protect the ballot box every
safeguard that the law can devise is
thrown about it. The provisions OF
the statutes may seem little onerols
and exacting in some cases, but refiec-
ton will convince all fair minded mer
and women that they are necessary
precaution to preserve unsullied one
OF the most sacred of our institutions.
The registration law of Colorado is,
probably, as good as that possessed
by any other state In the Union and
is supposed to be an effective bar to
fraudulent voting; at least, such was
the intention of its trainers. 1t pro-
vides that every legally qualified citi-
zen shall be protected in the exercise
of the elective franchise. In cities of
the second class every voter is re-
quired to go to the office of the county
clerk for registration, where his in
dividual identity and right to vote has
to be attested by two vouchers. both
of whom must be personally known to
the registry clerk. Canon City and
Florence are the only two cities in
Fremont of the second class, hence
only the qualified voters residing with
in their limits are entitled to register
at the office of the county clerk; all
others must register before the judges
OF election, who sit as board OF reg
lstration on the 10th and Both OF
October and the day before election
for that purpose.
Persons who have never voted in
this state must this year register with
the proper authorities before the 22nd
of the current month, otherwise they
will have forfeited their right to ex-
ercise the franchise SO far as the

elections this fall are concerned Vot-
lers who wore formerly registered but
have changed their place of residence
since the last lection can hav their
vote by notifying the proper author
tiles at any time within ten days be-
fore the election. Under the laws OF
Colorado there is no way Of swearing
q vote in ON election day, as is the
case In some states, although, If, by
some clerical error the name of a
registered and qualified voter was left
on the list transmitted to the judges
of the election by the county clerk. a
certificate can be issued by the latter
correcting the mistake.
To obviate any misunderstanding it
may be repeated that all legal voters
residing in Canon City and Florence,
both men and women, not previously
registered, must appear in person at
the office of the county clerk in this
city on or before the 22nd day of Octo-
Der. 1906, and register If they desire
to vote at the coming election. They
must be accompanied by two vouchers
to establish their Identity and their
right to exercise the ballot. In South
Canon, Fruitmere and the rural pre-
cincts of the county original voters
are required to go through the same
form, except that the registration
takes place before the board of cleo
ton judges on the dates previously
mentioned. Under the laws of Colo
RADIO there is no such thing as regis
tratIon by proxy, and vouchers are
only permitted to swear to the quali-
fcations of twelve applicants for reg
istration.
To vote In this state the statute re-
quires that the applicant must have
lived in Colorado at least one year.

cinct thirty days and in the ward ten
days.
