WILD RUMOR IS RIFE

Gubernatorial Contest in Colorado Is Rapidly Coming to a Crisis. 80L0NS REPORTED KIDNAPED Story Proves To Be Untrue— Peabody Men Still Dickering—Tangle in the Missouri Senatprship Grows Worse. Denver, March Iti.—All sorts of wild rumors regarding the situation in the gubernatorial contest are in circulation. One of these was to the effect that two of Governor Adams’ supporters in the joint legislative convention had been kidnaped, but all the members were present at the morning session. U is evident that the final vote which will determine whether Governor Adams shall continue to hold the executive chair or shall surrender it to James 11. Peabody will be very close. It was on this account that the Peabody leaders secured an adjournment of the joint convention Tuesday. One-tUird of the sixty Republicans, it is reported, have pledged themselves not to vote for Peabody under any circumstances. Dispute Over McDonald** Vote. The action of Lieutenant Governor McDonald in casting the deciding vote on the motion for a recess Tuesday has opened up a wide range of discussion. Adams’ supporters assert that the li< utenant governor has no right to vote in joint convention under any circumstances, but Lieutenant Governor McDonald says he has such a right, and has strongly intimated that he will even vote on the governorship contest in case of a tie. Crisis of the Trouble at Hand. Immediately after assembling the joint convention took a recess until 2:30 p. m.. and on reassembling adjourned for the day. The I’ealiody and anti-Peabody Republicans then conferred on a scheme to seat Peabody as governor with an understanding that he will immediately resign, leaving the office to Lieutenant Governor McDonald. One of the leaders of the anti-Peabody Republicans said after adjournment that Peabody’s resignation had already been prepared, and would be placed in the hands of the opponents if they would agree to this proposition. Depends on Five Men. The end of the contest will come when the anti-Peabody Republicans decide to bring the matter to a vote in the joint assembly. This would be done at once were it not for the fact that five of the twenty-two Republicans known as McDonald men are uncertain quantities, and may at any moment stampede to Peabody and give him a majority. RESIGNATION 18 DEMANDED Republicans In the Missouri Senatorial Ballot Have a Stormy Time. Jefferson City, Mo , March 10.—The balloting for United 1 States senator has so far resulted in failure. The bulk of the Republicans Is voting for Spencer, Neidringhaus having released his friends from their caucus obligations, but Spencer's highest vote is 04 and he wants 77. Si>eaker Hill. Republican,, created a sensation after the forty-ninth ballot by rising and saying: “l have been accused of being a deserter. L vnant to say to this assembly that as a late exited lent, and with the consent of the caucus nominee, I voted for Judge Spencer. 1 desire to say that I will l>e a deserter to the extent of voting for a Democrat before this assembly adjourns without electing a senator.’’ Speaker Hill's announcement was followed by clamorous cheering, but it apparently provoked a storm of indignation from the Republicans, and Representative Tubbs, of Gasconade, arose to a point of personal privilege. Silence prevailed as he exclaimed: “Mr. President, I declare emphatically that I shall never desert the Republican party. If Speaker Hill desires to vote for a Democrat I demand here and now that he resign his office and seat in this legislature.” Instantly the assembly was in an uproar. There were cheers for Tubbs by some, and others, climbing on chairs, loudly called for tiro sergeant-at-arms to restore order. After this had been continued about fifteen minutes a motion to adjourn for the day was carried. Speaker Hill later gave out the following statement: “We must elect a senator, and he should tie a Republican. for that is the choice of the people: but if an olistinate minority continues to hold out to the last and prevent the selection of a Republican then I take the position that a Democrat ought to be selected, one who would stand with the national administration, and we have an opportunity to make such a selection [Cockrell]. “I have no explanation to offer for the statement of Mr.Tubbstoday when I suggested some of these ideas at the Joint session I shall consult my conscience and not Tubbs’ when I vote, and will never resign at his suggestion.” Bloody Termination of a Quarrel. Denver, March 14.—George Shissier killed his neighbor. K. Sill and wife, burned their home and then stood off the police and a posse until he was shot to death. Mrs. Shissier. on bearing the news, collapsed and is in a critical condition. A quarrel over a fence line caused the tragedy.
