(be law allows both contestant
and coatestee the name
and hence Culberaon might
^ with the same mason be accus-
S ed of waatiag me to oonteat in
order to ndd $2,000. The fact
ia the law only allows a cost
bill not to exceed $2,000, and
all costs most be certified to
and have vouchers to corres-
pond as in other legal proceed-
ing, nnd no ooe can get a dollar
from the government except
what he has actually spent in
tne case. Say to thoee wto
accuse of wanting to arouse
the "pops" into large dona-
tions to help in the cause, that
up to date I have received
$15.65 and never knew a dona-
tion for soch purpose to ex-
ceed $25 or $50. I have al-
ready spent nearly $200. I
have sgreed to give my attor-
ney in Waabington $1000,
Judge G. T. Todd of Jefferson
$250 and experses, which
m*ans $500, oaly leaving $500
•f the $2,000, if the goverament
allowed the full limit, and out
of that I am to pay all my owe
uses, witnees fees at 75cts
nday which the law allows
them, aad mileage for all time,
and mileage in appealing be-
fore notariea to give testimony,
and to pay the sheriffs $1 earfc
and mileage to summon 500
wiwesces and pay the notariea
nnd all other expenses incident
to such trial, together with two
or more tripe 'o Washington,
under such a heavy expeaaa as
outlined above the people caa
readily tee what an immense
surplus I will have left out of
the $2000."
His ground of oonteat is that
he reoelved 672 more votes

mOW OOOK WAS CAPTURID.
Saata Fe, N. M., Jan. 13.-
United Stales Marshal Hall to
day received a dispatch fron
C, C. Perry of Chavee count %,
who yesterday captured Bill
Cook, the notorious outlaw,
stating that the prisoner bad
beea safely landed in the coun-
ty jail at Boewell this afret-
nooo. The outlaw's capture
was ffleoted at as isolated cat-
tle ranch on the great plaine a
f-w miles •ontheaet of old F< rt
Sumner. Perry and two depu-
te* were in eearcb of botre
thieves yesterday whea tbey
met aed recognized Cook at
first glance. Quicker thaa a
flash Perrf nnd bis men bad
their Winchesters op and Cook
was so thoroughly surprised
that be lost his nerve and, al-
though he had two sixahooter*
about his waist bis bands went
up at the command of the eh*-r-
iff. Handcuffs were put on lis
wrist and he was mounted sad
strapped on his horse, which
was fouad to be on the piaiae
near the cabin. Thus the trip
to Roswail waa made, a die*
tanoe of sixty five milee.
Marshall Hall expects to heat
from the United Statee distric
attorneys of Oklahoma, Texa*
aad Arkansas, to whom b
wired laet night announcing
Cook's capture. It ie as id
that with the state aad express
oftcers there is a reward of
$15,000 for Cook's capture.
To compare the price of cot-
ton tiece the war with the rule
of political partiee dnriag that
time, wiU dieclooo come inter-
ceding facts.

wives have f« nod other but**
oands, and there is now a feel-
ing of perfect harmony and
<ood will existing between the
bree households.
Ou New Years day Mr. Cox
spread a banquet at his bom#*
snd invited his two former
wives and their families to par
<ake of his hospitality. Tbey
gladly responded and the day
passed off without a ripple of
unpleasantness to mar the joy*
of the occasion. This matri-
