FOR ONE LONELY VOTER.
Remarkable Election Held In a Dis.
trIct In France.

A curious election took place at Les
Sables, in the department of the Var,
recently, when a single elector drew
up the whole list of candidates and
was the only one to vote. He natur.
ally voted for his whole list, himself
included. The commune contains
about 500 Inhabitants. Some time
ago the municipal council resigned.
Elections were held or November rs
last, when only four men came to vote.
There was to be a second election last
Sunday. The whole day passed and
not a solitary voter appeared. A
quarter Of an hour before the legal
limit Of time elapsed a benevolent citi-
e at last appeared, drew up a list of
ten candidates, including himself, and
voted. A quarter OF an hour later the
election was declared legally valid,
and the other nine candidates were
duly notified Of their election. They
have since declined in a body to be
elected by a single vote. The good
natured citizen, therefore, who alone
voted now constitutes by himself the
town council Of Les Sables. What Is
stranger still is that he may invoke a
precedent. In fact, o. a previous oc-
casion, another citizen was also the
sole voter at an election, and voted
for himself, remaining legally in office
for ten years. This would indicate
that political activity is at a low ebb
in the Var, and yet the French prime
minister. VI. Clemencean. Ia senator
for that department. Perhaps his
energy makes up for the negligence
OF the rest.

Hit Back,

Walking along a road in the re-
mote west Of Ireland, two tourists
were passing n of the cottages, or,
as they are better known in the coun-
try. cabins" Of the peasantry. This
particular cabin" was even a more
than usually dilapidated specimen of
its class. and the chimney, consisting
mainly Of the remains of an old top
hat, presented a comical, If pathetic,
appearance.
Tipping his friend a wink, one Of
the tourists accosted a youth who was
sitting contentedly on a fence.
Il say my boy" he said, does that
chimney draw well?"
"Shure, thin, 1t Does" was the
prompt reply; ut draws the notice O.

NOT TO BE

SHERIFF BATH FAILS TO GET POS
SESSION OF kEEFE UNDER
THE BENCH WARRANT.
Judge Craig Of Third District Holds
That Defendant 10 In Possession
Of Sheriff Of Carbon County and
Refuses to Permit Transfer to
Albany County.

Sheriff Bath and County Attorney
Downey returned last night from Raw
Inns. where the sheriff had made an
effort to gain possession Of Frank j.
keefe, wanted In both counties for
the killing Of Tom King at Rawlins
April 20, 1903. Judge Craig Of the
Third judicial district would not con-
sent to the removal of the defendant
to this county, holding in effect that
the change Of venue in the Baxter
case did not operate in the Keefe
case, and that the man must be tried
on the information filed in the Carbon
county district court. The matter may
be taken to the supreme court on a
writ of error. but Judge G%roesbeck,
the attorney for Keefe, has not SO an
nounced.
King Case Not Affected.
The question was argued before
Judge Craig yesterday afternoon, N.
R. Greenfield, prosecuting attorney for
Carbon county. appearing for the state
and Judge Groesbeck for the defend
ant. The effect of the ruling of the
court was that when the Baxter case
was brought to this county on a
change Of venue it did not affect the
King case. and while the county at
torney could file as many informa-
tons against the defendant as he
pleased, it would be right and proper
for him to select one for the trial Of
the man, the others being quashed as
a matter Of fact. Mr.. Greenfield has
elected to try Keefe on the charge
filed in Carbon county, and until that
gentleman SO decided otherwise, &C.
cording to the ruling of the court, the
warrant issued by Judge Carpenter Of
the Second district in this city is of
non-effect.
Would Favor Change Of Venue.
1t is certain that Keefe does not
want to be tried at Rawlins. and un-
der the ruling Of the court there yes
terday afternoon, 1t will be proper
proceedings for him to ask for a
cnange Of venue. When the change
was taken In the Baxter case preju-
dice Of the people against the defend

ports, that prejudice has not been
greatly allayed, particularly in view

Passenger officials Of the western

trains slower. At their meeting at Chi
cago it was apparent that they can
never reach an agreement to lengthen
by eighteen hours the schedule of the
fastest trains between that city and
the Pacific coast, as was originally pro.
posed. The plan Of running trains
slower throughout the west has raised
a storm of protest from all the impor
tant places between Chicago and the
California terminals.
Seven to Nine Hours.
The strongest effort to ecu lower
schedules are being made by the roads
west Of the Missouri river, which now
give the slowest service. From pres.
ent indications the schedules west OF

ened by from seven to nine hours, but
