Efforts to Fraudulently Defea'
the Consolidation Measure.
STATE AND COAST NEWS
Barbour's Murderers Are How tu-Koute
from Butte Drownod in the Wil
lamette at Portland,
roRTLASD, May 2i). "We have
reliable information," said a gen
tleman to-day. ''that the sack is
already raised and ready for dis
irinution at tne election on
Monday. It is said to be $20,000.
with more back of it if that is not
sufficient. The leaders of the
anti-consolidation fight claim that
they have 500 voters in the employ
or pay, one way or another, of the
city departments under their con
trol, all ot whom they expect to
hold for their side. Then by pur
cnase, importation, and repeating
tney expect to stuU the ballot-
boxes with such a number of votes
that they will outcount the thous
ands ot honest votes cast for con
sohJation. That they have
planned to fraudulently carry the
election there is no longer any
doubt, and that is why the consol
idation! are so anxious that all
its friends should be active, watch
lul and zealous to get out the
voters, and to prevent, and if nec
essary, prepare to punish the in
tended frauds. They believe they
can check and keep these ellbrts
to corrupt the election so in the
background and so restricted in
their operations that thev will
fail ; but it is the prime duty of
every friend of consolidation to
tirst vote, then see that his neigh
bora and friends vote, and then
watch the iolls for fraudulent
voters or repeaters."
lhe opponents to the consolida
tion measure are makimr desner
ate enoris io trump up scarecrow
lfgal objections. One is that the
election would be invalid because
the vote is on several propositions,
or on a contingency. Another is
us to the right of residents of sev
eral localities within the limits of
one or the other of the cities to
vote, and still another is thet the
charter does not provide for any
notices of election. aDoointment
of judges, etc., and that there
must be a lapse of government
for one year. Ex-United States
Attorney-General George II. Wil
liams has examined into all these
criticism, and pronounces tiiem
without good foundation or reason.
The charter, in all essential par
ticulars, is clear and valid and
ellective.

They Are Now ou the Way From
Butte to 1'ortlam',
Portland, May 20. Infectives
Grittin and Barry, who left Butte
City, Mont., yesterday morning
with the murderers of W. M. Bar
bour, the Lebanon merchant, are
nqw en route to this city by way
of the Northern Pacific, to "arrive
here to-morrow morning.
Chief Gritzrr.acher, of the city
detective force, said to a reporter
this morning that he has no doubt
but the real murderers have been
captured.
'J he man who had the diamond
ring is unquestionably the fellow
who had the foremost hand in the
murder," said he, "and I do not
anticipate much trouble in getting
the other man to turn state's evi
dence against him."
The fact is, one of the murderers
got away. He is a big Swede, and
was hand-in-hand with one of the
men now in custody. He managed
to give the detectives the slip at
Butte, and his capture is doubtful
in the extreme.
