General Superin- tendent Shepard and General Manager Wells are out on the line looking after the repair work, which is being done as rapidly as possible. While the dam- age is not as heavy as that experienced by the line in Arizona, it is occasioning fully as much delay and will cost the | company many thousands of dollars. This city has been left without Pull- man coaches, and it was necessary for to-night's overland to g0 out with tourist sleeping-car§ as substitutes. This train will continue by way of Al- buquerque and it is expected that it will be able to get through the wash- out district by the time it arrives there. CHILD DROPS REVOLVER AND IS BADLY WOUNDED | Bullet Plerces Lung of Four-Year-Old ‘Washington Girl and Strikes Her Grandmother. SPOKANE, Wash., Oct. 3.+—Maud Farrish, aged 4 years, while removing a revolver from a buggy in which the family had returned from a visit yes- terday, allowed the weapon to drop and the Impact exploded the car- tridge, which was . of large caliber. The ball passed into the right side of the child’s waist, left the body below the left arm, sped on and struck the child’s grandmother, Mrs. William Farrish, in the head, inflicting a severe scalp wound. Physicians report that the bullet severed the child’s liver and pene- trated one lung. Their first diagnosis left no hope' for the child’s recovery.

UCLOBER 4, 1904 LOOK_ FORW ARD 10 INDICTMENT | Commissioners of Election Under Fire for Changes| in the Precinct Boards STEFFENS A FUGITIVE | | | | ! | | ! | Judge Sloss Petition to Free Wyman Hears the| PARAIRCE T | The Election Commissioners are now on the rack in connection with the| | frauds at the primary election. The five members of the board, A. W. J. A Devoto, Thomas Maguire and R. W. Roberts, were before the Grand Jury last evening, and it looked for a_while as If they would be indicted forthwith for failure to observe the law as to the | appointment of election officers. After deliberation the jurors decided to make | further investigation, and when they | adjourned the statement was given out | hat definite action may be taken next hursday afternoon, when another | meeting will be held. X | FEach of the Commissioners, when called before the jury last evening, | was asked the following questibns: “Are you aware of the requirement | of the law that election officers must | be taxpayers?” “Are you aware that an election officer must have been a resi- | dent of the precinct in which he serves for at least thirty days?” The answers in each case were in| the affirmative, and when explanation was attempted that in the opinion of the Commissioners the statute was un- constitutional in that it required a! property qualification for a person to| hold public office, Chairman Lilienfeld | promptly called a halt and excused the witness. The Commissioners were willing to aamit that they had not obeved the statute, and this fact appeared 0o be sufficient for the Grand Jury. But| when the matter was thrashed out lat- | er by the jurors the basis for accusa- | | tion did not appear so ciear to them | as when the testimony was being| taken. The night before the primaries a| number of changes in boards of ¢lec-| tion officers were made in the Regis- trar's office. In the Eightieth or “Almshouse” precinct only one officer served of those originally appointed. | The five substitutes were appointed at | the eleventh hour and were not resi- | dents of the precinet. In precincts T and 103 there were similar changes at | the last moment. | WERE SUMMARILY DISPLACED. | It is common report that a number of those who had been regularly appoint- | ed desired to serve as election officers ! but were not allowed to do so, being| displaced by the midnight appoint- ments. The rosters show much fraud in these precincts and the attention of | | | | ! the Grand Jury was therefore drawn | to the actions of the Election Commis- | sion. The Commissioners declare that the substitute appointmernts at the elev- enth hour were made because those who had been regularly appointed sig- nified their inability to serve. They as- sert that resignations are on file in the Registrar's office from every election officer who was displaced. The mem- bers of the board are certain that they will be called upon to answer indict- ments, and are loud in the declaration that the grand jur°ors are unscrupu-| lously “doing politics.” | The Grand Jury also took testimony | regarding the conduct of the election in precinct 103, the roster of which | | reveals illegal voting on an extensive | scale. The witnesses examined were/ Joe Hayes, J. R. Pringle, Curtis Hill- | yver, M. C. Davis, Policeman Henry J.| Pyle, Police Sergeant William Wil-| |liams and Detective J. F. Dinan. Hayes, Pringle and Hillyer told of the | misconduct they saw on the part of| alleged stuffers. The incident was m-} quired into of the man who attempted to vote another's name and ran away | when he was challenged. | NO TRACE OF STEFFENS. | Captain of Detectives Burnett took | steps last night to institute an ener- getic hunt for Adolph Steffens, who was indicted by the Grand Jury for il-| | legally voting the name of C. C. Crew {at the primary election. The captain | gave it as his opinion that Steffens had | fled the city. No trace has been found of him since the bench warrant was is- | sued. He was last seen on Thursday | night. | The petition of Charles Wyman to be | freed of the charge of ballot-box stuf- | fing on the ground that the primary| law is unconstitutional was heard by | Judge Sloss of the Superior Court yes- terday, the defendant being in court on | habeas corpus proceedings instituted | !last Friday while his preliminary ex-| | amination was in progress before Po-| | lice Judge Cabaniss. | It is not regarded as likely that Judge Sloss will upset the primary law. | In any event he will not permit anyf | delay of the case so far as he is con- | cerned, for he made the announcement | that he would render his decision at 10 o’clock to-morrow morning. | At 11 o'clock the examination before | { Judge Cabaniss is to be resumed, and | Judge Sloss will relieve any uncer- | tainty in time for the proceeding in | the lower court. | The whole day was consumed by the ! { attorneys in their arguments yester- ! day,” R. H. Countryman pleading for| the defendant and John A. Hosmer, | | special prosecutor employed by the| | Merchants’ Association, for the people. | The chief point advanced by the peti- ! tioner was that the requirement that a | party shall have cast 3 per cent of the total vote at the preceding election to| entitle it to hold a convention and ob- | tain place on the official ballot is in conflict with the provisions of both the State and United States constitutions !u to discrimination in privileges. He | pointed out that a party that is a na- tional factor and substantially organ- ized might in some communities be de- barred, under the law, from participa- tion in an election.” To this contention Hosmer urged that there must be regulation and that the 3 per cent regulation was not discrim- inative. Any body of persons, who coald present a petition with 3 per cent of the voters, would be given the‘ same privileges as.are granted to ea-& tablished parties. In this manner fair| play was assured to all in a reasonable | manner. —_————— % Egg Inspectors Union Formed.
