NEWBUlLDINGy FOR
CHAFEY

O. X. Wescoatt came over from Cha
fey Thursday, returning yesterday.
'sChafey is in no sense a boom
camp said Mr.. Wescoatt to a Silvog
State reporter, but is having a legi-
innate, healthy growth. Everything IS
moving along in a most satisfactory
manner. The new SO horsepower steam
hoist is nearly completed, and as soon
as it is in operation the output of the
mine will be considerable increased.
Among the new buildings in course
of construction are three two-story
dwellings and Il 50-foot store building,
the latter being erected by Coulson,
shell and Marringer.
The new branch Jail was ready for
business week or ten days ago, AMI
the first night had full house. There
has been one or more dodgers every
night since. This does not necessarily
indicate that Chafey is a disorderly
camp, but that the rough-neeks = arr
being rounded up and made to behave
themselves.
"How are political matters looking
in the camp, Mr.. Wescoatta" inquired
the reporter.
Considerable mixed,' was the re-
ply. "While the majority of the voters
are no doubt Democratic, and will vote
for Bryan, it is hard to say how the
county ticket will go. AS is usual in
such cases, the most personally popular
candidates win get the votes, irrespec
tive Of party afiliations.'

 SEEM TO LIKE IT
The Defendants in the Ludwig Libel Suit Say it Will Give Them 0p- portunity to Show Up the
 Liquor Element.

Little Rock, Oct. 13.-Not un- til yesterday afternoon was the notice of the $50, coo libel suit filed by Secretary of State o. C. Ludwig against Revs. James A. Anderson, A. c. Miller, P. K. Engleberger, and D. J. Weems, served on the defendants and they immediately began upon their answer of the suit. Rev. E. A. Tabor, who is associated with the defendants in his temperance work, stated yesterday afternoon that the suit gave the temperance element the forum 1t has sought for all along, and it will now be- gin the uucovering of great many political secrets which have been denied the public, and which will show the important part taken in recent campaigns by the liquor element, and will also show some telegrams which passed about the time of the selection of the election commissioners of the varions counties, between a, state official and a wholesale liquor dealer. In fact, It is stated that the passage of telegrams, if the ones desired can be secured, will play very important part in the suit.
 On the other hand, the temper ance people are not pushing 10 any great extent the $l00, 900 suit filed in the federal court ten days ago by Rev. J. A. Naples, against Jo Lyons, a prominent local wholesale liquor dealer. Service has not yet been had on Lyons, though he has been out oi the city for nearly week now, but he was here for five days af- ter the filing of the suit and did not evade service in that time.
