THEY'RE'IUP A TREE.
Republicans in Hot Water Over Their
Candidates-Bosscs
Want Ella.

The Republicans are up a tree. in
the selection of their candidates,
worse even than they are endeavor-
ing to create the impression that the
Democrats are.
At the primaries yesterday every
man that holds an office as Re
publican, was given orders to be on
hand to make a showing. The dele
gates were all fixed, so that the only
thing that was wanted was to make a
showing.
A desperate hunt is being maze for
aldermanic timber. Some of those
who wanted to make the race. have
been told to go back and sit down. -
Those whom the old gang want, won't
have. it being afraid that the odor
of the big Five" that told so disas-
trously last fail, will kill them off.
Wendell p Ella. who has served two
terms as mayor is the choice of the
political end of the party. Several of
the stalwarts don't take kindly to
Mr.. Elias candidacy saying that he
has been chasing after strange gods
politically and declaring that the old
soldier element and the stand pat
ters" of the party will scratch him
worse than their last party candidate
for the mayoralty was scratched.
The party made all kinds of promis-
es at that time to keep the rank and
file in line. They say that the rank
and file won't stand hitched any
more now than they did then and
that the political war whoopers
cannot deliver their vote and them
selves to anyone who don't think, act
and play that he is party man all
over.
1t is said that lady is to make the
race against the present popular city
clerk. as they concede that in nc
other way can they beat him and
they think perhaps he can be beaten
by a woman.
City Attorney Coles if he was in
good comport with the party would
like to have the denomination. but
he cannot come within mile of it
So it goes, the party IS without a
leader and some Of those who think
they are leading, it is to laugh at
their efforts.

been loyal to Dowie.
All winter, each Sunday afternoon

Work Him for 100000
A. B. Cox Claims that Col. Lace
Swindled Him out of
Rio Sum

Yesterday the Sentinel stated that
it was charged that Col. j. G. Lace,
convicted yesterday of being con-
fidence man, had swindled A b. Cox
a well known rauchman and mining
man. out of big sum. According to
report Col. Lace became acquainted
with Mr. Cox about the time he work
ed DR.. Eldridge. Mr. Cox was inter
ested in some mining claims at Lead
Vile and desired to develop them.
Lace, 1t seems, was willing TO finance
the company and it is charged that
by his smooth ways and appearance,
and affable manner he completely Sc
cured Cox's confidence and then un-
folded to him the very plausible look
ing plan of the mysterious society in
whose workings he had explained to
some extent to Dr. Eldridge and un-
dertooll to show Cox how, If he own
ed membership in this society his
mine could be admirably financed.
IL is said that Cox mortgaged his
farm for $1,000 and paid Lace $3.50
for a membership. Lace gave COX u
receipt similar to that he gave DR..
EIdrldge, a receipt from Lace as an
officer of the mysterious society.
Then Lace skipped out, it is said.
Cox It is reported, had to sell his
ranch at sacrifice to pay the loan
and in the meantime lost his mining
claims at Leadville by failing to do
assessment work. It is said that
Cox is the man who first located Lace
in Nevada, communicated with Dr.
EIdridge and the latter swore out a
warrant. Mr. Cox has the receipt
given him by Lace. 1t is stated that
Lace secured about $4,000 during his
first visit toGrand Junction but that
some of those who went up against
that great secret society are too mod
