THE CAME WARDEN AGAIN.
State Game Warden j. W. Stc

State Game Warden ]. w. Stone,
who had been confined to his
home with nervous prostration since
the questioning he passed through
before the senatorial investigating
committee three weeks ago. again ap-
peared before the committee last Fri
day and revised his story. The ma
terial facts in his original testimony
are not changed in the revised version,
but the latter shows him up in a
mole unfavorable light than before.
He now claims that he paid Warden
Bowman $3.50 instead of $500 as he
formerly testified in order to cover up
the fact that Bowman had a portion
of the amount left over as unused and
unaccounted for and probably hated to
give it back. By Stones latest story,
he also had about $3.50 left, which he
is keeping until it is asked for" by
the men who gave it to him, but said
he had never reported this fact to the
parties furnishing him the money nor
offered to return it. The sensational
portion of Mr.. Stones testimony was
that the game wardens had voluntari-
~ raised $1,000 among themselves to
aid Gov. Davidson in paying the ex-
penses of his campaign. That this
was done without any suggestion from
the governor and without his knowl
edge. Stone took this money, en-
closed in an envelope, $500 each upon
two separate occasions and 5000 upon
another, and laid it upon the COVER
nor's desk. Upon being questioned
as to what it was and where it came
from he had told the governor TASK
me no questions and I'll tell you no
lies Stone says money contributed
by the wardens was from their own
salaries and had nothing to do with
the money they had received for their
share in the senatorial campaign and
that they had made similar contribu-
tions to other governors in past cam
paigns in sums as large or larger.
Gov. Davidson confirms Stones
statement about his giving him the
money. says he could not find out
from Stone whom it came from and
that he deposited the money in the
bank for safe keeping and it is there
yet. That he never asked for con-
contributions for campaign purposes
from any state officer or other state
employe.
Mr.. Stones last story, which he
says is made to- relieve his consci-
ence.' puts him in a really more un
favorable light than the one he told
first.

NO COUNTY OPTION THIS YEAR.

Senator Marsh's county option bill
was defeated in the state senate last
Wednesday by vote of II to IL. 1t
is believed that the assembly would
have passed the measure if it had
gotten through the senate. Two
years from now it is altogether likely
the matter will come up again and
the attitude OF the liquor interests
from now until that time will have
much to do with public sentiment
