FEUD WITH HEARST Is BRING

MUSKOGEE, Jan. 26.-The fed

Additional interest has been added
to the case in the last "a hours by

1t is alleged by the governor that

but that he has been in no way asso-
ciated with the transactions.
The statements of Governor Has
kell as to his innocence of connee-
ton with the deals are not accepted
by many who profess to have infor-
nation as to evidence that the grand
jury has either received or will re-
ceiye. These state that a mass of
information has been gathered impli-
eating the governor and other higher
ups and that 1t is of irrefutable char
acter.
Much of this evidence is said to
have been contained In the large
batch of affidavits which were seized
when arrest was recently made of
Hearst's agent. McReynolds, on a
trumped mp charge instigated by the
governor These afiidavits were later
recovered by the court from the gov
ernor's office, where they had been
hastily taken for reading by the pri-
yate secretary of the governor, who
accompanied the sheriff when he went
to the room of McReynolds to make
the arrest. While MoReynolds was
busy with the sheriff, the secretary
secured the afiidavits and made away
with them. IL later developed that
these were simply copies, the orig
inals having been forwarded to New
York, but the contents are believed to
have been sufficient to fully inform
the governor as to the character of
charges that will be made against
him before the grand jury in the lot
fraud cases.

TALKED
Of TOWN
RICHARD SAYS THAT FITS Ely
DEAL FOR RICKARD MINING
PROPERTIES YET UNDER Ne
GOTIATION-SURE RAILROAD.

G. l.. C"Tex') Rickard was an ar
rival on last nights train. In an in
teryiew Mr. Rickard said that Ely
was the most talked of town in the
state today and that everybody has a
good word for the camp.
He remarked that the people of
Tonopah and Goldfield know as much
concerning the immense mining prop
critics of this district as do the peo-
pie of Ely.
When asked what arrangements If
any had been made with Mr.. Phillips,
the Chicago millionaire. who has
been negotiating for Richards min
ing holdings here, Mr.. Rickard stated
that nothing of final nature had
been accomplished but that he ex-
peeted to hear from Mr.. Phillips in
the next few days in reference TO the
deal.
Richard still has the idea that Ely
should have a championship fight and
thinks that 1t could be arranged TO
bring Jeffries and Johnson together
here. When told that Jeffries said
he would not fight again. Tex re-
marked that 1t wouldn't take Jeffries
long to change his mind If the purse
was forthcoming. From prize fight
ing he swung to railroad matters and
said that the people of the southern
part of the state felt sure that the
actual building of the new road to
Goldfield will soon be started.

According to Mr.. Howell there are

cerning Ely and its resources. In
writing of Tonopah. he says that the
mines are looking fine and that the
shipments from that camp are not

Ely, Tonopah will experience another

MADISON. Wis. Jan. 26.-State
senator Blainefield today made
charges i'm speech before the senate
against United States Senator Steph-
enson. The latter is candidate for
reelection and is opposed by Blaine
field on the ground that he gave Re-
publican State Chairman Edmunds "a
sum of money i'm excess of 100000

money to be- used i'm furthering the

1t is also charged that Stephenson
expended S25O,OOO i'm the primary
election i'm violation of the law. Much
excitement has been made by the
charges and considerable demoraliza-
tion is alleged in the stephenson
camp.
Fifteen members of the assembly
this afternoon refused to cast vote
for United States senator. Fourteen
of these were members of the lower
house. The senate did not vote
when the call was made at noon, TAX
ing a recess until 3 p. m, when ad-
journment was taken until tomor-
row. The assembly vote out of a to-
tai of 80, stood 60 for Stephenson.
1t is asserted by Stephenson lieu
tenants tonight that they will dis
prove the charges against the senator
tomorrow and that his election will
follow. They allege that the charges
represent a desperate effort on the
part of opponents of the senator to
bring about his overthrow through
utter falsehoods and misstatements
of facts. Senator Stephenson is quot
ed tonight as saying that the efforts
to defeat him will be without avail
and that when the joint ballot is call
ed tomorrow 1t will be found that his
forces in both houses will be in line
and overwhelmingly in the majority.

and another must be held before that
enterprising town can turn on the
lights. An opinion to that effect was
handed down by Chief Justice D. n.
Straup yesterday, and the other JUS
tees concurTed.
Heber City voted almost overwhelm-
ingly in favor Of the issue Of S22,500 Of
bonds for a lighting plant. W. S. VIII
lis, however, obtained a writ OF prohi-
bition to restrain the issue of the bonds
on the ground that the purpose of the
issue had not been sufficiently clearly
set forth in the resolution OF the city
council, and that the funds might be
used for general civic purposes. The
assessed valuation of Heber City is
S566,442, and the court held that the
22,600 was within the limit OF such in
debtedness, but that the specifications
were too general and no proper purpose
had been set forth by order of the city
council or in the public notice to the
electors. The temporary order is made
