Alleged Huertano County Frauds.


In urging his resolution to appoint
committee to investigate alleged
election frauds In Huerfano and Las
Animas counties Senator Scott pro-
duced letter which, he said, was
from citizen of Huerfano, and
man who has taken part in the coun-
ellis of the state, though refusing to
give his name
The letter stated that election
frauds had prevailed in Huerfano and
Las Animas for eighteen years; that
while the Colorado Fuel & Iron Com
pany owns more than either the Rio
Grande or Colorado & Southern rail-
road companies, its annual assessment
was based on valuation OF 100000,
while the Rio Grande was assessed on
a valuation of 100000 and the Colo
RADIO & Southern on valuation of
100000. The result, the latter
claimed, was that the revenue of the
coal mines was levied from the agri-
cultural and business interests. Hay
is the largest agricultural crop and
the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company
is the largest consumer OF the product,

farm owner can act as he pleases,
