NO ELK FOR PIXIES PEAK.

Colorado Springs, March 28.-The
movement to bring several reported
starving elk from Wyoming and
place them in the Pike Peaks re-
serve will not have immediate re-
suits. D. F. Hudson, the game war
den of Wyoming, has advised Geo. s..
Elstun, chairman of the committees
having the matter in charge, that the
$4,000 elk now in the Jackson Hole
country are being fed by the state
and later will be sent into the hills
where there will be plenty of graz
ing.
Warden Hudson thinks it may be
possible for Colorado Springs to So
cure some of the elk next fall and
suggests that the matter be taken
up with thu proper authorities ut
that time.
The tourist committee of the
chamber of commerce, which was i'm
ter sted in the movement to bring
the elk to Colorado Springs, will
hold meeting Monday, when the
question of establishing an informa-
ton bureau in Denver will be taken
lup and threshed out. The subcom-
nittee is composed of H. H. Stew
ems, B. M. Lathrop and E. e. Nich-
lis.

POWELL ARRESTED FOR BRIBERY
Star Witness in the Davis and Marvel
Cases, Pulled on Like Charge.
Interest in His Coming Trial

Charles H. Powell, a Democrat.
was arrested and taken to Dover
Saturday by Sheriff Raughley. He
is charged with bribery at the Nov
ember election. Powell was confront
ed by Thomas j. johnson. a Smvrna
Republican, who swore that on cleo
tion day the accused approached him
and said he was working for the
Democrats and then and there asked
him to vote the Democratic ticket.
Johnson says he was promised fifteen
dollars. The prosecuting witness
was vigorously cross-examined bv
Alexander M. Daily who appeared
for Powell. Johnson detailed his
meeting with Powell, and told of the
excitement about Smyrna where the
district is so close that often the
complexion of the State Legislature
depends upon the few majority that
1t gives either way. Mr.. DAILY asked
johnson II the alleged promise of
fifteen dollars had anything to do
with his vote when he went to the
polling places. Deputy Attorney
General Harrington who was prose-
cutting the case objected to this uues-
tion and Magistrate Wood sustained
him. The magistrate held Powell j.,
81, 600 hail for appearance at court
on Monday when the Judges set
apart day to try him. Powell
figured conspicuously in the bribery
cases against the Republican workers
this spring. He was the prosecut-
ing witness against Thomas Davis
an aged Civil war veteran and one
of the principal witnesses agaist
Thomas Marvel, a young Smvrna re-
publican. He is the witness who
disclosed an alleged "system'' of
paying off the Republicans emploved
The case is attracting a great deal
of interest in and about Sn1vrna and
his trial before the coming term of
court will doubtless be largely at
tended.
