ternoon when Badly Vinson, a local attorney, received a photo graph of James McCann the St. Louis man supposed to have been murdered number of years ago by the bogus Lord Burlington, who is now serving life sen tence in the Missouri state peni- tentiary for the crime, from Mrs. Lillian Gates of St. Louis who states McCann is one of the Mabray gang, and asks him to see II the photograph was of any of the men under arrest It, was easy to see that the photograph was of none of the men in GUS tody, but their uneasiness when spoken to Of the McCann affair, and the murfled threats of mur- der which are alleged to have been made by one of the men have convinced the local officers there IS new, field for investi- gation.
 Tn her letters to Attorney Vim son Mrs. Gates claims that Me Cam has for years been one of the leaders of the gang She claims that the English govern ment has defrayed her expenses in running down clews as to the whereabouts Of McCann, it be- ing fact that he had not been murdered by Darlington. Mrs Me Cam says Harrington was fleec- ed by the gang, and he knew so much about them, they had Me- Cam disappear, substituted corpse, and then caused his ar rest to get him out of the way

This wo- man is said to know McCann well The officers are satisfied she will identify none of the men ,un- der arrest, but before they are through with arrests, they be- i.eve McCann will ba in custody as the photograph sent here by Mrs. Gates fits very closely one of the men for whom they are looking They expect any time to locate an Oklahoma man who was worked here, and when he is located, it may lead to the loca- tiOn Of McCann.

HOT CONTEST FOR
 SHERIFf'S OFFICE
Garland County Has Another Election Contest. Candidate Claims He
 Was Defrauded.

Hot Springs, March 5.--The of flee of sheriff of Garland coun- ty is again in contest. This morn ing a case was called before county Judge Thruston r. Far mer which causes to bob forth into the limelight the determined persistent fight of Thomas J. Prichard for the office out of which he ayers he was defrauded in the election Of last September II he makes a successful fight as did the last contestant, Gus Buchanan, who after a spectac- ular and prolonged struggle which ended in the Supreme court of Arkansas, was given his dues which included the office, Jake Houpt the incumbent has cause to worry.
 Prichard is a young man with freckles and sandy hair. He has firm jaw ana hard fist
 Pm going to get that office I was elected to or spend every cent l got" iG his invariable> ret ply to an inquiry about his con- test. And Prichard has consid- erable money. He is a contrac- tor and builder and also heavily interested in mercantile enter prises. But what he has to spend in prosecuting his contest is spent With a free hand
 Prichard was the Republican candidate against Jake Houpt who ran on the Democratic> tic ket. Prichard was an active meGn Der Of the Citizens improvement Union tho reform organization but the voting strength, oe that body in a large measure went to the Democratic candidate Houpt who was considered safe man for the office fromt the re- formers standpointS. Develop ments subsequent to the elec- ton in the gambling situation in Hot Springs have not caused the faith that was inN the reformcrs to finger as to Houpt's desire to sit on the gambling lid
 Prichard doesn't say "I tod you so,' but he is. quietly prose- cutting his contest an6, the we'll informed say that his chances of winning are exceedingly good. Pricha1d's claims are based up- on the old familiar Garland coun- ty election day custom. He al leges that the ballot boxes were stuffed with illegal votes.

ARGUMENTS WILL

Three of the Alleged SWindlerS Released by the Government to State
 Authorities.

Little Rock, March 5. = Three of the alleged swindlers, F. M. Clark, l ]. Warner, and J., c. Johnson, under indictment for grand larceny and false pre- tences for the alleged swindling of J. G. kile Of Cisco, III out of $10,0OO February 13, were late yesterday afternoon released by the government to the state au- thorities which means they will not go to Council Bluffs for trial The State already had H. NJ. Stockwell the jockey under ar rest as being one of the gang, which now gives it four of the five men under arrest. Whether J. c. Mabray the allegei leader of the gang will go to Council Bluffs is still an unso.ved prob lem, arguments upon this propos- ition being postponed yesterday afternoon until Saturday, on account of Judge Jacob Trieber of the United States District Court being engaged in another hearing. Attorneys for Mabray are fiercely fighting the proposi- tion of the government to sep arate the men and send Mabray alone to Council Bluffs. They want all removed or none. Lewis Rhoton of the defense, yester- day afternoon asked for an im-

 Both houses of the Legislature attended the test of the floor yesterday afternoon, the senate adjourning at noon so as to be out on time, and the House quit for the day shortly after 7 o. clock. Nine tenths of the, memb- CTS watched the piling. of, the sand on the floors and it give un- der the weight. Governor George w. Donaghey did not attend the test but was represented by a contractor who took noteSf on the way the test was made, He stated last night that he would not pass upon the result Of the test until he had received a re: port as to how it was done. He will not go to the new Capitol while any of tho tests are being made. George w. Caldwell Of Ca.d well & Drake, the contractors on the contract is very much on hand and watches tine tests very closely He stated yesterday af- ternoon that it was unfair to test an uncompleted floor, but that he welcomed tests on the fin ished ones. These tests will be made as soon as the others have been completed.
