What Bob asked himself was, if he
dared to carry out the assumption
thrust upon him. He had just gone
thro Ugh all experience where frolic
and danger were daily concomitants
of a rude Frontier life. He had been
out with a surveying crew, stalking off
the great Tan:pah Valley. The gov

project, and land in the valley had
gone up on boom.
There was not foot of land in the
Tanipah district Bob had not gone
ever. In fact, struck with the future
possibilities in view, he had got the
owner OF a ten thousand acre tract,
the choicest property in the section,
to give him ninety days option Oh

pany had decaulted on payment Bob
had thus far arrived at the outposts
of civilization, ON his way to collect
from the company at Denver, to find
himself stranded.

Democratic Candidate for Governor
Receives Majority of 15,0o0-vote
for Progressives Light.

Trenton, N. j., Nov. 5.--Indications
point to the election of James F. Field
er, democrat, as governor by plu-
rality of about $4,000 over Edward G.
Stokes.
The surprising feature Of the cleo
ton is the light vote cast for Everett
Colby, the progressive candidate.
Colby's vote probably will not exceed
10000, as compared with 145,410 re-
ceived year ago by Col. Roosevelt
for president.
Fielders vote runs slightly below
that received by Woodrow Wilson a
year ago, which was 178,289.
Stokes vote probably will exceed
100000, as compared with S8,S38 re-
ceived by Taft last year.

The swaying of the crowd in cheer

immediate cause of the collapse.
