ef $5,000 in "March , 19U8 , was begun in
.
the district court at Council iiluns.
Attorney General H. W. Byers is as
sisting in the prosecution of the case.
The day was spent in attempting to
scure a jury. The jurymen are to be
in the charge of a deputy sheriff dur-
Jng the trial.
Scott is defended' by Emmett Tinley
. and Charles Harl. Edward Mulick of
Davenport , la. , an attorney for J. C.
. Mabray , is expected to arrive today ,
but probably will not take an active
,
part in the defense.
The story of the Hermelbrecht case
was a feature of interest , when the
victim testified at the trial of John
B. Dobbins , recently convicted in the
district court at Council Bluffs for op-
erations similar to those which Scott
is charged. ,
Scott is charged with having
"steered" John Hermelbrecht against
the Mabray gang , with the result that
I Hermelbrecht lost $5,000 by one ot
I
the now famous fake horse races. Two
iBdictmentswere returned by the dis-
trict court grand jury In March of last
_ year against Scott , who lived near
/ Pender , Neb. , but it was not until
June 16 that the authorities succeeded
IK locating him in Sioux City , where
ke was placed under arrest and
, "
. brought to Council Bluffs. Six weeks
' later Scott secured his release from
the county jail by furnishing bonds in
\ tie aggregate sum of $6,000.

/ i ' , MAY IMPEACH HASKELL
t
Threat Made by Member of Legisla-
ture in Introducing Resolution.
Guthrie , Okla. , Feb. 1. - Reference to
1 a possibility of impeachment of Gov-
I ernor Charles N. Haskell and other
state officers is made in a resolution
Introduced' in the lower nouse of the
legislature here by Representative ' I
Humphrey.
The resolution demands an investi-
gation .of the Columbia Bank and
Trust company , which failed at Okla
homa City last fall , owing depositors
\
over $1,000,000 , and it calls upon At-
torney General West to btfng before ,
the legislature matters which he had
previously stated were being consid-
ered by the grand jury at Oklahoma
City when the body was discharged
recently by order of Governor Haskell. \
The resolution is based upon a let-
ter written by the attorney general
at the time the grand jury , which it
was known was inquiring into the af-
fairs of the failed' bank , was dis
charged. At that time Mr. West criti
cised the acts of certain state offi-
cials , alleged to be concerned in the
institution.
The resolution says : "Such charges ,
if true , might subject the governor of
this state to impeachment and the offi
cers to whom reference is ma'de , to ! m-
peachment or removal. "

TESTIMONY FULL OF INTEREST
"
Democrats Take Prominent Part in
Questioning-Says Former Secre-
' tary Garfield's Antagonism to Alas-
kan Coal Land Claimants Caused
His Withdrawal Cabinet-Sen-
From - Sen -
ator Paynter Quits Committee.
Washington , Feb. 1. - When the
Ballinger-Pinchot investigating com-
mittee adjourned until next Friday ,
Louis R. Glavis was still on the wit-
ness stand. He will be further ques-
tioned at that time.
Glavis was cross-examined by sev-
"eral members of the committee , the
Democrats taking by far the more
prominent part in the questioning
framing their , .interrogations in a way
which elicited answers tending to ac
centuate : certain * ' parts of the testi-
mony already given by the witness.
Cross-examined by Senator Fletcher ,
Glavis said that Bellinger , while com-
missioner of the land office , had ap
peared before committees of congress
and by his testimony had indorsed a
bill which would validate 4,198 pat-
ents by Clarence- Iunningham. : ,
Glavis said that at the time Ballin-
ger asked him not to proceed with
his investigation of the coal claims
until after election because of the
slowness of campaign contributions ,
no one was present to overhear the
conversation.
McK"nzie's : Name Brought In.
The name of Donald McKenzie was
.
brought prominently into the inquiry
when Glavis testified McKenzie had
told him that the reason James R.
Garfield was not retained in President
Taft's cabinet as secretary of the in-
terjior was because of his antagonism
to the Alaskan coal claimants.
Glavis said he made an affidavit con-
taining this interview , but denied ,
when questioned by Senator Root , that
he signed it as a reflection on Presi-
dent Taft or that he intended to use
it as an attack upon President Taft.
Glavis said he thought the president
might be interested in it and he
thought also that the affidavit would
interest " Mr. Garfield. Asked what he
had done with the affidavit , he said
he had left one copy in the land office
at Seattle and sent the other to Wash-
ington.
Pinchot on Hand.
Gifford Pinchot was present at the
session with a large leather bag filled
with papers. It is expected' he wll
follow Glavis on the witness stand.
Senator Paynter of Kentucky re
signed from the committee and did
not attend the session. Illness was
given as the cause for this action.
The appointment of a. successor has
been left to Senator Money , the minor-
ity leader of the upper house of con-
gress , and he offered the place to
more than a dozen senators , without
being able to induce any one of them
to accept service.
The witness declare that Repre-
sentative McLachlan of California and
Representative Kinkaid of Nebraska
were interested in Alaskan claims ,
and that Ballinger , after becoming
commissioner of the land office , had
acted as attorney for Kinkaid.
Glavis asserted that Ballinger , had
suggested' to him not to pursue an in-
vestigation against Congressman Mc-
J'
Lachlan , saying : there had "been too
much of that sort of thing in the past. "
When , towards the end of his testi-
mony , Glavjs was asked the direct
question , if he thought Secretary Bal-
linger and Commissioner of the Land
Office Dennett were in league to do
Tong in the Alaskan cases , he re
plied : "Well , I thought the cases
wbuld be better protected with them
out of the way. * "
Glavis' attack' seemed to center
more on Commissioner Dennett. He
said he became convinced in the sum-
mer of 1900 that "Dennett was
'crooked , ' ' and took steps to secure
carbon copies of letters Dennett was
writing back to Washington. ' ' Several
of these letters were introduced in
evidence.

Analysis Confirms Suspicions i of Kan
sas City Millionaire's Family.
Chicago , Feb. 1. - Colonel Thomas
[ 1. Swope of Kansas City died from
the effects of strychnine , according to

suIt of the analyses : of the contents of
the stomach of Chrisman Swope ,
nephew of Colonel Swope , who died
soon after the demise of his uncle
under similar circumstances.

Swope and his nephew will be- the
basis of criminal prosecution , accord-
.
ing to Prosecuting Attorney Conkling
of Kansas CJty , in which the definite
finding that poison caused the death
of Colonel Swope will play an import-
ant part.
Mr. Paxton later ' admitted criminal
prosecution would follow immediately.

Kansas City , Feb. . - A sensational
phase in the Swope case developed
when Dr. Bennett Clarke Hyde , high-
ly connected professionally and so-
cially : filed a suit at Independence ,
Mo. , against John H. Paxton , an
executor of the Swope estate , to re-
cover $100,000 for alleged slander.
The petition alleges that Paxton
made statements that Dr. Hyde was
guilty of poisoning Chrisman Swope
and Thomas H. Swope.

knockdown rifle , a pistol , a hatchet , a
dirk , a dagger , ammunition , a tele-
scope , a loaf of bread , a roll of stage
money and a prayer book.
The boys said the reading of dime
novels caused them to start for Utah

the telescope to detect Indians. The
youthful : Indian fighters left their
homes on Saturday and rode to Pitts-
burg by trolley. They came tC' St.

Company's Shaft.
Frimcro , Colo. , Feb. 1. - Over a hun-
dred men are , believed to have been
killed by a terrific explosion in the
Primero mine of the Colorado Fuel
and Iron company.
Seventy-niife : bodies were 'found ; n
a pile in a mass at the foot of the air
shaft. When the explosion occurred
the men evidently made a rush to es
cape to the air shaft and were found
as they fell , while battling their way
to freedom. The main shaft of the
mine is completely wrecked.
Eight'more bodies have been recov-
ered and rescue parties are making
desperate efforts to reach the interior
workings , cut off from the outside by
the caving in of the main shaft.
Three men were killed at the mouth
of the mine slope by the force of the
explosion.
Most of the victims are Slavs and'
Hungarians. Electrician Will Helm is
known to be among the missing. The
camp is a scene of indescribable hor-
ror. While every ablebbdied man is.
taking his turn with pick and shovel
to clear the shaft , the women and .
children , kept back by ropes , have
gathered about the shaft , weeping and
calling wildly upon their loved ones.
Miners were rushed to Primero from
Trinidad , Segundo , Starkville , Sopris
and Cokeville : , and are laboring fran-
tically to clear the main , shaft.
Members of the rescue party say
that the effect of the explosion under-
ground is indescribable. . The bodies
recovered' were horribly burned and
unrecognizable. One body was im
paled on broken timbers. Others
were blown to pieces.
