persons brought to Honolulu from the
leper settlement on Molokai are not
lepers. and they have accordingly been
released from further detention. This
incident has created a sensation here,
many concluding from the result of
the examination that many terrible
mistakes have been heretofore made in
sending persons to Molokai as lepers.
On the other hand the conclusions
reached by the examining physicians
have been bitterly attacked by other
doctors. who state that the ones re-
leased are and have been lepers and
should never have been allowed to go
at liberty.
At the recent session of the legisla-
ture two resolutions were passed after
the health committee had returned

CASE IN THE ABSTRACT

The speaker turned to an abstract
statement of the actual case which
the jury would have left them to de-
eide. He divided 1t into two broad
questions: Was a bride offered 20
Supervisor Fred p Nicholas?" and
Was the defendant legally account
able and responsible for the offer?''
He stated the legal elements of the
crime of bribery and the general re-
quirements of testimony necessary to
prove such charge. declaring that the

NEARLY 100000 VOTES ARE CAST
CONTINUED from page one.)

6 pm. yesterday over 100000 votes
were cast.
For nearly two hours last night the
count was in progress; and, when
finally completed, when the mighty
stacks of coupons and subscription
ballots had been checked up and
counted. it was found that Miss
Amanda Mckay had won first honors
by tremendous plurality, while Miss
Adessa LeVan came in second with
lead OF 10000 over Miss Lillian Saw
yer.
Thus are Miss Mckay and Miss Le-
Van to represent Grand Junction, the
Grand Junction fruit district, The
Sentinel and the News at the great
Apple show in Denver. and will enter
the competition, with other fair
daughters from various sections OF
the state, for the apple queen hon
ors.
The official returns of the contest
show the vote of the three leading
candidates as follows:
Miss Amanda Mckay y----------S2,l2 1876
Miss Adessa LeVan ------------59,22 22I
Miss Lillian Sawyer r-----------47,65 5
Miss Mckay led Miss Levan by
about $4,000 votes, and she led Miss
Sawyer by about $4,000 votes.
1t is estimated that about 10000
coupons were printed In the two
daily papers and the Weekly Herald
during the last % days of the con-
test, and OF this great number not
less than $4,000 were rounded up by
the three leading contestants, and
nearly all of these We're held in re-
serve and voted the last day. Few
people would believe that so many OF
| the coupons in the daily papers
would be saved; but, when it is real
| lied that more than 5000 of these
coupons appeared daily in the two
daily papers and that hundreds OF
d, people were daily clipping out these
| coupons and saving them for theii
| favorites. 1t is not so astonishing
Miss Mckay. esecially, had hun
/ dreds of friends who saved these cou,
pons daily for her, and this assisted
her greatly in taking the lead far in
| advance of the other competitors.
Miss LeVan also had a great army
of friends who daily clipped and savet
coupons, especially in the rural dis
| tricts of the immediate Grand June
! tion section.
Miss Sawyer was also pretty wide
| awake in this particular. and many
| friends in the city saved the daily
| coupons for her.
When the judges won't TO make tht
| last count, they found theEe coupons
cut from the papers, Turned in in
great punches.
Estimating the daily coupon vote
at $4,000 and deducting it from the
grand total of $4,000, about l39.-
900 votes were left, each of these
votes representing cent paid on sub
scription to The Sentinel. the News
of the Herald.
While the vote was a large one, il
was not much larger than that cast

Misses Weir and Ferol Walker ear
ly dropped out OF the contest.
1t was n great contest. 1t aroused
world of enthusiasm, and there is
no complaint over the result, for Il
is generally conceded that the two
young ladies chosen to represent the
leading city of western Colorado at
the court of the apple queen at the
great National Apple show will reflect
as much honor on the city and will
cause the city to be just as proud as
any two young ladies who could pos
sibly have been selected. Misses Nc
Kay and LeVan are charming girls,
pretty, viyacious and accomplished.
They are typical Colorado girls, and
are members of pioneer families of
this valley. They are very popular
as the large vote they polled in the
contest indicates.
Miss Sawyer. who was third in
strength, made n splendid contest.
She and her friends worked hard. and
her vote was tremendous one, but
not sufficient to overcome the big lead
of the other two young ladies. Had
she been chosen, she would have
proven equally as ideal in her repre-
sentation of this city as the two win
ners.
The big contest was conducted
strictly on the square by the newspa-
pers Every candidate was given a
fair and impartial consideration.
Great care was taken to properly pre-
serve the vote cast each day. and
there was not the slightest chance for
an unfair movement, nor was there
any attempt made by anyone to gain
an unfair advantage. II was clean,
/ fair, impartial competition, and the
! honors were fairly won by Misses Le-
! Van and Mckay.
Misses Mckay and leVan Will
| leave Grand Junction Saturday after
noon for Denver to become the guests
of the Apple show management. II
is to be hoped that one of these girls
wins out in the contest with the other
fair contestants from other counties
! in the race for queen of the Apple
show.
It has been suggested that the sew
eral Mesa county contestants, elected
| from Grand Junction, Fruita, Clifton
and DeBeque, reach an agreement
| whereby only one of the girls from
this county will enter the contest TO!
| queen and the other girls work for
her. This is a good idea.

two can not be spent in more in
teresting or pleasant manner than
when devoted to a visit TO the poultry
and pet stock show.
The big room is crowded with cages
and pens containing the aristocrats
OF tue poultry world. The show
demonstrates that chicken raising in
this valley is rapidly reaching high
plane and that there are today in TINS
valley many most successful poultry
raisers with large flocks and brooas
of fowls of the finest strain.
Chickens. turkeys. pigeons, gum
cas-, pheasants and many other poul-
try families are represented by big
and remarkable delegations.
Every entry is fine one.
The competition for the premiums
is keen and has aroused much en-
thusiasm.

the expedition OF certain claims OF
valuable coal lands in Alaska and
that they have acted entirely inde-
pendent of the general officers OF the
department.
The officials are much ineensed
over the charges. but taks the posi-

sc aled against any outside, discussion
of the subject. 1t DE- aoaa #sf
The incident Is regarded generally
as a'phase of the connict between the
